Reminds me of a classic Nile Red video where he recreates the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction, which looks somewhat similar though I don't know enough chemistry to say if they're actually related reactions.

But what about the undisplayed, non-equilateral triangles that I can draw between any 3 arbitrary points in the given plane? Did you count those triangles!?!

I agree. It shows lack of faith in your work and your audience. It also takes away the audiences' sense of "getting it" when they look and notice, which makes your audience feel smart and in conversation with you.

Reminds me of those little panels beside paintings in a gallery that sometimes tell you way too much about what the artist was thinking. The work itself is supposed to be communicating, if you need supplemental material then you may have failed somewhat in the original work.

I hadn't read there were so many angles on the word. I had heard it came from Joyce and never dug deeper. I'm surprised that you quoted a passage from Oxford but didn't check the OED. Joyce being Irish, the OED would better document the English he'd have been using. Merriam-Webster and derivatives are American English dictionaries.

From the OED:

Honestly, I'm just surprised physicists don't have a gif/jif thing going on with quork/quark pronunciation.

I guess you are, in some sense, "running Doom" as well as that AI that was supposedly running it, in that you are imperfectly emulating the experience of having previously seen Doom played.

Also my brain's mod manager is total shit, long way to go catching up to DoomLauncher.

Guianan uses the incredible power of matter replication and atomic assembly to make chocolate cakes and fake alcohol for people. The holodeck does the same, plus generates 3d holograms with perfectly realistic fidelity, so that people can play racquetball in a pretend arena, or have a pirate adventure. I don't think that "abusing the ship's resources for fun" is a big problem in that era.

(LP) Paradise State of Mind - Foster the People (music.youtube.com)

Foster the People has a new album out, pretty good! Torches, their debut, is one of my favs, and I've enjoyed some of their later work too. This one definitely sounds like FtP, though I think there's a little more brass and other jazzy sounds being pulled in. I haven't listened enough to have any album picks yet.

Have you listened yet? What tracks did you like best? What's your favorite FtP song?

TIL: "Doom + Doom II" defines a new standardized compatability level for mods, ID24 (doomwiki.org)

I had wondered about how some things were done with the new episodes. I'm glad they released some documention and kept the standardization so that the rest of the broader Doom community can build off the new release.

Donald Trump Photo Without Ear Bandage Raises Eyebrows (www.newsweek.com)

Updates:

Might be best for mods to lock this post at this point (is that a thing on Lemmy?) because this story is basically wrapped. The FBI says a bullet caused some ear damage. Maybe it was bullet shrapnel from a ricochet or something like that, but later photos show the teleprompters in-tact so it wasn't shards of glass from those. Trump's usage of the bandage (and the assassination attempt) as symbols and political tools has been discussed at length and I don't think conspiratorial thinking beyond that is very productive. Pete Souza took his own account down after getting a lot of harassment, so no further conspiracies are needed regarding X-formerly-known-as-Twitter at this time.

A photo of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump taken on Saturday without his ear bandage has sparked a wave of speculation.

The image, taken by Alex Brandon of the Associated Press on July 27 and shared by photojournalist Pete Souza on X, formerly Twitter, shows Trump walking up an airplane staircase with an apparently fully healed ear wound just weeks after he was shot with a high-powered rifle.

Souza, known for his tenure as the chief official White House photographer for Presidents Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama, posted Brandon's photo on his now-deactivated X account on Saturday, writing, "AP photo this morning. Look closely at his ear that was 'hit' by a bullet from an AR-15 assault rifle."

Souza's profile, @PeteSouza, which had over 200,000 followers, now reads, "This account doesn't exist, try searching for another," implying that he has deleted or deactivated it. If he had been banned, it would read, "Account suspended. X suspends accounts which violate the X rules."

Ashes: Hard Reset OST by John S. Weekley

I saw over the weekend that the soundtrack had been released ahead of the upcoming (!) prequel (‼️) to the amazing series of Doom mods. The Ashes series rules, play them if you haven't. The soundtracks also rule and I had the Afterglow OST in heavy rotation all last year.

This one is pretty good. Very heavy with callbacks to the previous OSTs and to the original Doom's music. "Romero Waiting for the Train" is particularly fun for it's mix-in of my favorite OG track. I can't wait to wander more post-apocalyptic subways to this groovy tune!
