ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY BLOG ONTO TUMBLR.

VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.

Please check on the fish doorbell once in a while :)

I just looked, and there are 170 other people on there, also checking to see if there are fish waiting.

Please remember, if ever you are tempted to make a sweeping statement about human nature, that on this night in March, 2024, while war rages, there are 171 of us looking to see if a fish needs us to ring a doorbell.

Plenty else is going on, but also that.

(PS, the site says that the busiest times for fish are sunrise and sunset, which for now are at about 6:30, AM and PM, local time. Local time in Utrecht is 1 hour ahead of GMT, 5 hours ahead of EST, if that helps. I'm going to try to remember to check back again around 2 AM my time, when it will be morning for the fish!)

remember when the xy writers made cosplay pikachu libre male bc thats how insecure they were about even being slightly outside of gender roles

look at this shit

I've seen a lot of people talking about the second half of episode 92, and not in pleasant ways. Maybe it's time to remember that Exandria Unlimited Prime and Kymal are linked in a way to C3. Two members of the Crown Keepers are now members of Bells Hells, with a third who has been only for a short time, but still. ExU Prime is basically a prequel to C3, and ExU Kymal is the following up of Dorian and Cyrus leaving BH and going to Tal'Dorei, joining once again the Crown Keepers. And what we've seen in episode 92 is the continuity of ExU Kymal. We've been given hints during C3, before the Apogee Solstice, last time Orym had true contact with Dorian, saying that Opal was darker and darker and Dorian was starting to worry. Now sure, some haven't seen the ExU's for personal reasons, and that's fine. But blaming CR because you didn't watch it and saying they've "forced" the Crown Keepers into C3 is absurd. Luckily, if you want to give another shot at ExU Prime and Kymal, you'll have time to do so, ExU Prime is only 8 episodes long, and ExU Kymal is a two part one-shot, and also because next Thursday should be a Candela Obscura episode. Oh and Bells Hells are not done going over FCG's death. They're a mess, both emotionally and physically. I suspect there will be other moments of heavy emotional RP in the next episode. it affect everyone and everyone will react differently.

This post just turned 10 years old which is pretty fucked up actually. When I made this post people would say things like “actually supernatural only has 8 seasons” but here we are in 2023 so who’s laughing now. Not me I want to die

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

an article on the subject for the curious:
