I have a 5 digit slashdot id.

Not so much found out about but songs that didn't used to bother me now kind of bother me. I was a very big Stone Temple Pilots fan, Even though the rhythms slap the songs are a little too rapey these days for my taste.

We lost because of a lack of blue votes but what, 40% of the US basically voted to have them as property?

courts of law.

There are always courts of law! Just somtimes it's the king in his court making up the law...

No, what you stated is why red voted red. This race wasn't lost because red voted red. This race was lost because blue didn't vote. The numbers are very clear it's a little more red than there was last time but there was a lot less blue

Honestly I think the hardest part is identifying it and locating it.

Probably need to start a community around it. People link to stuff. Pay walls would have to be dealt with. In the vast majority of cases that's not too difficult. No it does start getting less available around video sources. IP restrictions will be a pain in the ass.

Recording the video is messy. YT-DLP could work for some things, But honestly with the level of what's coming I'd be afraid of leaving fingerprints on anything. Probably throwing a full screen player up in a 1080p window and using OBS on it would be the safest. Could probably get away with using an elgato to capture the HDMI signal up to 4K.

Speech to text models are light enough to run on raspberry pi. They'll need to be vetted. They're not highly accurate. Captioning is a great community task.

Organizing an indexing the captions, there's no shortage of free database software. I probably start with sqlight to keep things portable and fluid. Moving to Maria or Postgres when things get too slow, But then we're going to have to host it. Anonymous hosting is a completely different ball of wax.

Storing the data would get out of hand quickly. It's trivial enough to buy a single 20 tb hard drive and store more than we'd need for years. But then hosting it anonymously would be difficult to say the least. Even the markers of these conversations would be traceable enough for us to be located. Paying for a private enough nude to be safe is going to be pricey over time.

I'm sure archive.org would take it, But honestly I wouldn't put $5 on them surviving a couple of years into the new administration. What they're doing is to inconvenient to too many corporations with deep pockets.

IPFS would work, well about as well as it works anyway, but that's the opposite of anonymous.

Edit: come to think of it it would be a hoot to run it on the short video federated platform. Just keep the database somewhere else. Again not anonymous enough for my tastes, But what I had a little bit of fun to the project.

Wonder if they'll respin Gitmo and fill it with his opponents. Cuba could use some cash.

I'm gussing it'll play out like:

  Official act #4:  Secret Service, bring him to me, but take a long time.

not exactly shocking, not the first time Trump has made tariffs. Last time they drove the cost of house construction up.

Ollie is a drain clearing expert in Australia. He records every job and posts nearly daily, minimal editing. He shows you every step, what he's thinking and how to correct problems as he goes along. He's never political, always polite and he almost always gets the job done.

I've watched everything he's put out for the last few years, kind of a guilty pleasure.

 

It never occurred to me that buttermilk was a fermented product.

Brad takes a run at a delicious bouquet of shrimp and olive.

Production quality is great, it's a good time.

 

Tom Scott has relaxed his release schedule, so it's kind of special when we posts a new video these days.

This house rotates, plumbing at all, the owner is kinda fun and very forthcoming with details.

archaeologists excavating a gravesite in the southern Bavarian town of Nördlingen found a 3,000-year-old sword in excellent condition

Given the soft nature of bronze, historians have previously wondered whether such blades served a ceremonial purpose, rather than a practical purpose on the battlefield. A few years ago, scientists even staged sword fights in order to learn more about how the Bronze Age weapons could have been used effectively in battle, despite being much easier to damage and harder to repair than their iron successors.

Hey, are you guys supposed to be playing with the artifacts?

it's research!

I honestly found this one googling around, but XyRow666 presented a far nicer collage than anywhere else I could find.

Roughly two million years ago, the Taylor Glacier sealed beneath it a small body of water which contained an ancient community of microbes. Trapped below a thick layer of ice, they have remained there ever since, isolated inside a natural time capsule. Evolving independently of the rest of the living world, these microbes exist in a place with no light or free oxygen and little heat, and are essentially the definition of “primordial ooze.” The trapped lake has very high salinity and is rich in iron, which gives the waterfall its red color. A fissure in the glacier allows the subglacial lake to flow out, forming the falls without contaminating the ecosystem within.

 

The Rainbow Mountains of China within the Zhangye Danxia Landform Geological Park are a geological wonder of the world. These famous Chinese mountains are known for their otherworldly colors that mimic a rainbow painted over the tops of rolling mountains.

The Crooked Forest (www.weirdworm.com)
 

The Crooked Forest (Polish: Krzywy Las) is a grove of oddly-shaped pine trees located in the village of Nowe Czarnowo near the town of Gryfino, West Pomerania, in north-western Poland. It is a protected natural monument of Poland.

This grove of 400 pines was planted in around 1930. Each pine tree bends sharply to the north, just above ground level, then curves back upright after a sideways excursion of one to three meters (3–9 feet). The curved pines are enclosed by a surrounding forest of straight pine trees.

It is generally believed that some form of human tool or technique was used to make the trees grow or bend this way, but the method has never been determined, and remains a mystery to this day. It has been speculated that the trees may have been deformed to create naturally curved timber for use in furniture or boat building. Others surmise that a snowstorm could have bent the trunks, but there is little evidence of that.

Many people have been trying to find an answer to this mystery, but since the town of Gryfino was largely abandoned between the early stages of World War II until the 1970s, the people who were there before the war and probably had the answer to the mystery of the Crooked Forest are now likely gone forever.

Usually, when you pop into a youtube video, you can see where the meat is by all the most watched parts. This one just shows 521k clenched anuses watching the whole thing :P

 

Ben Eater makes a video card from scratch. In a later video he goes back and makes it better, but his execution here is absolutely amazing.

 

There are a lot of hoax or fake weather pictures on social media, but the viral pictures of a rose-colored cloud in Turkey are legitimate. On January 19th, 2023, a strange cloud appeared above the Bursa province.

Ghost apples (static1.pocketlintimages.com)
 

Ghost apples are made from a pretty interesting phenomenon whereby frozen weather coats an apple in ice. When the apple inside rots and falls out, the icy shell is left behind and you get an ice apple.
