ink. looks cheap and weird but has a huge heart and vision.

as an anosmiac this is gold

i don’t care so much about dates and order, i use Downie (sounds rude but it’s just a media downloaded for mac) to download whatever i would normally watch on youtube and stick it in a folder that jellyfin is pointed at. It’s been amazing, all the videos i want, no ads, no buffering, and any speed i care for.

i’m thrilled to see that the donations are letting this be somewhat self sustaining. obviously a lot of unpaid volunteering going into this so not quite a self sustaining non profit, but it’s got all the promising signs

in my interpretation of how portals work - by joining space together - moving through a portal doesn’t involve infinite speed because you haven’t moved - the portals have just changed the space you occupy.

a bit like the inertialess/ Alcubierre drive where you travel faster than light without breaking any laws because you’re not moving at all in your space, it’s just that the space you occupy changes.

in the reasoning the people hurling towards the portal only appear to do so, once they pass through the portal they’ll be as immobile as they were before entering it.

the minute physics video is fun though. love their stuff.

my brother came up with a great analogy - say you’re falling and there’s a portal below you also falling, just slightly slower than you. when you eventually fall through it - do you come out falling slowly or quickly?

it would have the be quickly. even though you and portal are moving slowly relatively to each other, your individual momentum is conserved, the movement of the portal is irrelevant.

gonna go with a - the people aren’t moving when they go in, so they won’t be moving when they come out

there’s a lot of reddit posts (yes. i know, the heresy) and youtube videos on this. tldr: get good lawyers and financial advisors before you tell anyone, and let them help you work it out.

my MIL watches a pastor chris from the loveworld megachurch. over the years i’ve listened in on tirades about covid and depopulation eugenics, it’s all very wild and very “we are always under attack” and positively crazy.

no please, don’t

maths got me 😂

nah, he’s too smart for that. 4d chess. all part of the plan /s
