this is…. actuallly really cool? like, this is probably the shortest number notation in existence and yeah, it’s tricky to use and absolute hell for doing math with, but the ability to denote a 4-digit decimal number into a single character is just really cool as an engineer and it probably had a ton of uses back then like denoting quantities or maybe even secret code you can probably draw this on a combination lock to remember the password and people would be none the wiser
stop making shows about americans in europe… try europeans in america instead. the outrage of not knowing exactly what something costs at a store,, no public transport,, everyone smiling in your face and waiters scaring you by constantly popping up at your table… ice in your water for some reason,, the kind of culture clash i want to see!!
One of my favorite stunts ever executed in a movie is so simple yet incredibly groundbreaking and it’s in The Wizard of Oz when Dorothy opens the door to reveal a full-color world.
The Wizard of Oz starts out in black & white — standard of the time and what people were used to.
But then after Dorothy lands and opens the door, she reveals not only the magical land of Munchkinland but also the magic of technicolor in one single shot.
Since technicolor was not very widely available prior to the Wizard of Oz’s release, for many people it would be the first time they were ever seeing a moving picture in color. What better way to pull it off than in a big reveal like that? Fantastic! I know by today’s standards this doesn’t seem like a lot for a movie, but this was a great trick given the technology they had. What a special way to bring some magic to audiences, especially in a time when things were really down in America during the Great Depression.
If someone feeds me dry beef with only water as seasoning I’m stealing something out of their house
Somewhere, Gordon Ramsay just felt a cold shiver down his spine.
1. Just buy a leaner beef? 2. How do you get to adulthood without knowing to always drain excess fat into a container, NOT down your drain? 3. I must share the amused horror of someone RINSING OFF ground beef in a colander.
When she turned on that faucet my soul astral-projected out of the room.
Dude’s out here proving how rpg inventories really are possible
Hey real quick why am I turned on
lost it at the collapsible staff
Can’t even laugh, cuz that’s me and my mom. friend lost it when he found a pocketknife hidden behind a tiny bible in my mom’s car. boss didn’t even question that I’d have miniature measuring tape on me. i want a lighter though. rocks and shiny things in my pockets all the time. neighbor called me a magpie and i was flattered
I am using this tiktok for character inspiration and no one can stop me.
The best thing you can do with an Anxiety Disorder after “Get Therapy” is to teach yourself how to be prepared for a zillion situations and pack accordingly. Refinement of this technique since middle school means I can now fit my daily use objects (Wallet, phone, keys), a sketchbook & art kit, a first aid and wilderness emergency kit, several snacks, sewing and emergency repair kit, laptop and assorted electronics and a spare sweater in a standard laptop bag.
It also makes it really easy to make friends because anytime you see someone mildy in distress you can be thier fairy godperson and whip out a new zipper or chocolate easter bunny or condoms and they will just be :O about it.
This is mildly blasphemous, but in the Toy Story universe do baby Jesus figurines from nativity sets think they’re actually Jesus, or are they just like. Babies
