So you know your bucket of Lego? It’s a bunch of blocks that can move around each other. (Swish some around to demonstrate)
Water is made up of little tiny block that can swish around too. When you make them cold, they start to stick together. (Start connecting Lego blocks)
The colder it is, the more they connect, until all the water blocks have joined up together and made a bigger block of ice.
Then, when you heat the ice up, they start to come apart and move freely again.
So, heat is movement and cold is connected. This is the same for almost everything!
Lava from volcanos is just rocks that have been heated up enough to move. When the lava flows out and cools down, it hardens back into rocks.

Sorry, man. I’d love to, but I have to take my wife’s son to soccer practice.

See?
You don’t even know what you aren’t aware of.
Sad, really…

I’m sure there’s plenty you aren’t aware of.

When we said “Do something “ what we meant was “Fund the police to brutalise them and restrict their rights!”
How was that not clear?!

Yes, the fights are very well done. The protagonist mecha, the Eva’s, operate under some strict rules that mean every fight is a close one. The enemy, the Angels, adapt to each loss and force the protagonists to play catch up.
God wants us dead. Humanity has already been nearly wiped out, only a fragment is holding on. The Angels are a cleanup crew, all they have to do is simply touch their goal and the remnants of mankind are instantly destroyed.
Against that backdrop you have a story told by a man who is clearly suffering deeply. Hideaki Anno’s depression is on full display through the themes of loss and grief and abandonment. But those themes are strongly countered by those of friendship, purpose and being part of a greater whole.
It is beautiful and grotesque. Hollow and hopeful. Goofy and deadly serious.
It may not be your cup of tea, but it is a masterpiece.

- Comment on What are some good flight simulator games? 2 months ago:
It sounds like you want something a little more arcadey than realistic.
If I were you (and multiplayer sounded like a good time) I would legit consider something in the Battlefield series.
Arma 3 has a bunch of land sea and air vehicles and a lively modding community creating missions for you to play solo or multiplayer.
- Comment on Microsoft is bringing annoying Windows 11 Start menu ads to Windows 10 2 months ago:
I jumped ship to PopOS a few months back.
There are some issues, like Bluetooth not starting without some terminal commands, I think I have to wipe or otherwise mess around with my 1TB NTFS storage drive to mount it and stuff like that.
But all the games I’ve tried to play work fine.

It’s true, but Intel fucked around for years and now they’re finding out. I’m happy to watch them stew for a year or so before getting back on their feet.

If my options are:

- Comment on How long until I can 3D print a 2D printer? 8 months ago:
If we shoot for a much more primitive printer, we’re pretty close.
Something that uses a pen or quill to draw on an unmoving sheet of paper. Kind of like how CNC routers are set up. The gantry moves along the full length and width of the paper.
After that, you can print everything outside the electronics and the quill. Right?
