It is the weird backlighting from the Christmas lights. I took a selfie of my wife and I in front of a Christmas tree in a park one time and it looks like the most hilariously badly photoshopped image imaginable.

The answer is "no", in multiple ways in this case. Is this an exercise drug? No. This is a drug meant to stimulate the effects of exercise for people with Alzheimer's. Does it clearly work for that purpose? No.

You can pretty much just not open articles with headlines in this format. If there was exciting news to report, the headline would say that instead.

In related news, the people who said we shouldn't cut down all of the American Chestnut trees when they got a blight were absolutely right, but were overruled by capitalism.

Looks amazing! I recommend getting yourself a sprouting kit (or making one. They are easy) and then you can have the freshest bean sprouts all the time!

Yeah. I gotta say I came in here to see what the problem was. These things support a ton of weight and, while it may not be beautiful, it isn't going anywhere.

We started a discussion in a Signal group, but wanted to move it here for more involvement. The proposal on the table is to use own source hardware and software to hack together an autonomous weeding machine, maybe using AI to recognize weeds versus crop plants.

There is nothing honorable here. This code is best avoided. We are not proud of what we have done.

Is it federated and open source? If not, I'll pass.

I bought a 2 year old, 2017 BMW i3 and have had basically no range reduction. I primarily charge at home on a level 2 charger. The i3 didn't have a ton of range to begin with, so if you live in a colder climate, make sure you account for losing some of the stated range during colder months.

For commercial offerings this is probably true for at least some of them, but creating your own VPN isn't terribly difficult if you are serious about your privacy. I typically just use them when I travel to countries like China where I can't get to a bunch of necessary services, so I don't mind if they route my YouTube traffic through CIA headquarters, but if I was doing anything more than that I would just set up my own.

I believe this is the inside of an industrial, water-tube boiler. Like where it is being manufactured. If you look in the upper left, you can see tubes to be welded in. It isn't a perfect match, but those openings in the pipes look like where blowdown piping would go in. Source, I designed piping systems for these.

Edit: If you click on the small images on this page you can see a lot of piping that looks just like this: https://balcke-duerr.com/en/service-solutions/boiler-projects-services/

That said, it is really difficult to get a sense of scale here and this could be some much smaller heat transfer device that just uses the same design.

This is the kind of crap that still brings me to the Internet! Thanks to whomever had this ridiculous thought and said, "I'mma make that a thing."
