My first thought was how ears and noses look red when sunlight shines through them. If blood was blue, wouldn’t they be blue or purple?

That’s wild to me cos like… We didn’t need internet to tell us this was incorrect.

If you look closely, the chats shared by Kolvet and (allegedly) Maguire have the same exact background (see the paw, the smiley faces, etc.).

Yeah no kidding, it’s called WhatsApp.

Context, these are cars that contained both Palestinian and Israeli people, that were destroyed by Israel due to the Hannibal Directive.

the IDF fired on Israeli civilian hostages while they were being driven by Hamas militants into Gaza

The IDF confirmed this to be true, stating

it would not be morally sound to investigate these incidents [due to the complexity of the situation]

TLDR: Israel felt it better to kill their own citizens than to let them be taken hostage.

As funny as this is, it’s also a very common logo, being a varient of the Penrose Triangle. Honestly more shocked they didn’t spring for some better graphics…

Thanks for the correction! I got way ahead of myself.

When wind speed doubles, the energy it carries increases eightfold,

Edit: I’m wrong, see edit below!

Huh? Kinetic energy increase is square, not cubic.

KE=1/2 m v^2

So every doubling of speed should increase the available kinetic energy by 4 times, not 8. 3 times the speed is 9 times the energy. Granted there are probably some efficiency gains in excess of this at the low end, but as a rule that’s just wrong.

Edit: Cool, I learned something new! I neglected to consider it in terms of power, just thought about kinetic energy.

So something like: KE = 1/2 m v^2

= 1/2 ( rho V) v^2

= 1/2 ( rho A d) (d/t)^2

= 1/2 rho A d^3 1/t^2

Where P = KE/t

Thus:

P = 1/2 rho A (d/t)^3

= 1/2 rho A v^3

Lots of other aspects I’m sure I have wrong, but I see how the cubic came to be.

That’s good of your client, and I feel for you on this one. I made some physical products in college to sell over a summer, I ended up ~$2/hr once I ran my numbers lol. I just couldn’t stomach raising my prices so much (in my case it was good resume filler, so no big deal). Best of luck!

Hey, that’s my bad. I should have put more thought into my reply!

It sounds like you’re priced low in your industry vs the average - assuming your customers like you, and you have more work than you can do, I’m guessing they would rather that you raise your prices slightly and stay in business rather than keeping prices low and folding.

I have no business experience, but…

my problem is feeling like an exploitative schmuck because I’m charging people money for stuff

Congrats, you have a soul!

Is that the breast you can do?

These specifically

I can let light into a room but maintain complete privacy (especially on the upper level you just see the sky)

Oof you’re right, thanks!

Yup, it can theoretically do any position where this is true: Top Limit > Top of Blinds > Bottom of Blinds > Bottom Limit

Controls can seem a little funky at first, but not bad. Once you have a preset you like it’s just one button.

Also work in software, and still tweaking the smart home setup to be as intervention free as possible. The upside of the blinds is that I can leave the house and they automatically close to keep cool. When my morning alarm goes off it opens the top half to let in natural light - I’m a heavy sleeper so this is well worth it for me personally. Still haven’t set up smart switches, but it’s next on the list. Ideally a guest could stay and never even know it’s “smart”.

This is shown down, it drops entirely from the top though. So when raised you have the sill. Could technically set a bottom position hovering above the sill if you didn’t mind a gap
