  Maybe a planter? Something like this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FL wants more child labor⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It would have been near this display iirc.

  Legoland theme park used to have a joke sign: “Turning minors into miners” at the toy mine exhibit.

  Still better than a ham sandwich in a fiberglass moulding.

  6 is the only one I’ve had compliments on after lending it quickly to someone - felt tip pens are the best for actually working first time when you need them, and with two pens you can even do bold text.

  DNA Lounge has something similar - I think they even mentioned infinite JavaScript loops, and images that expand like zip-bombs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The metric counterpart to mouse DPI would likely be cm⁻¹.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You don’t have to keep the measurement that way up - for example car fuel economy in europe is measured in litres/100km which is flipped compared to miles/gallon, and arguably easier to compare.

  So 400 dpi = pixel size 63 micrometre for example.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In light of recent events, here's OpenStreetMap editors discussing naming of the Gulf of Mexico⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The name itself can’t really change in OSM because it’s based on what someone “on the ground” would see, i.e. street signs, etc.

  Previous OSM naming conflicts have usually been areas of disputed land where some group de-facto controls the land and therefore the street signs, and their name is used.

  That’s not going to work very well for a region of mostly international waters with several countries putting up their own signs to it.

  Is 🍌 also the safeword, or do I have to remember two words?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the UK shut down during easter?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Watch out that shops (e.g. supermarkets) who run limited hours on other bank holidays will actually be shut on Easter Sunday.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨circuits⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Now we just need you to calculate equivalent resistance between the points a “knight’s move” apart on an infinite grid of 1Ω resistors…”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Even better than a cart of apples⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And the weights are like a bigger version of the weight-hangers from science classes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Know thy enemy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  hyphen became a plus? Dalí didn’t have a spare engine because their working spare engine wasn’t purged of fuel that wouldn’t be legal to burn in US coastal waters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Know thy enemy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And destroyed the Baltimore bridge because their backup engines were split between legal fuel and international+waters fuel.
