That's so awe-some! I have very little, as in near zero, understanding of electricity/capacitance besides this TED-Ed video + cobwebs of physics in high school over a decade ago! Hope this is enlightening if you haven't seen this video yet 😁 www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdWX...

holographic texture to sides of prints? Maybe an enthusiast will want to pick them up even more, because we're all magpies 😂 Not to tell you what to do in the least! I also don't know how expensive they are, and I only lurk since my printer shamefully doesn't do anything besides collect dust! 🥲

Nice! Even if you sold that duo for $100/per, it'd be cheaper than what's on the markemarket for RAM! 🤣 It's gorgeous! You should be proud 😁

Jacob Geller is no longer a part of MinnMax. He won't be on content moving forward and we won't be publicly airing this week's episode of The MinnMax Show. We're in shock and deeply hurt. Thank you for your patience during this sensitive time.

I just realized that there was a reference/homage to #KungFuHustle in #ForgottenIsland! Maybe it was a coincidence, but in Kung Fu Hustle the old man peddles handbooks on greatness, and Jo carries the notecards to wait for applause, which then is called back to at the end! I'm excited to rewatch it!

Hi! I just got back from my screening of Forgotten Island. I was waaaaay off in my prediction. It was so much better and I hope there is a screening in Tagalog with English subs! Did you get a chance to watch it this weekend?

Yeah! The pocket watch build was fun! My favorite video might be the one on the camera! It got to the heart of what @razbuten.bsky.social 's most recent video alluded to, about what it means to be social in a tech-first world.

Thank you for the recommendation! Fidlock looooves their magnets! I'm down with that wizardry! Your dove tail magnets sparked an idea for a phone mount that would work for a car mount for GPS, a bike, and/or using it as a webcam at home, too. I'm not familiar with weatherproof plastics, though.

So the real question is would it be a Yahtzee-themed Camel Up or Camel Up-themed Yahtzee? Subsequently, will it be on Kickstarter or BackerIt with its $400 miniatures preorder exclusive deluxe version?

Awesome! Thank you, I am Pinoy, and I am even more interested! I wasn't saying Circe was connected to the movie, but one of the books I read surrounding my research similarities to what I imagined was a version of Calypso I saw from the one teaser. My Aunt fashions herself around Magwayen.

If I did "figure it out," sorry! Blame all the videos and papers I've been researching after being on a mythology kick. I have something I am working on that has me inspired to do all this research and reread @madelinemiller.bsky.social's Song of Achilles & Circe! If I'm wrong, that's even better!

#fantheory #spoilers #forgottenisland #twistytwist Perhaps this was found already, but I just saw the trailer for Forgotten Island, which looks great! I wonder if the "villain" is actually Calypso past their breaking point and the world contorted them into their current form. I want to go see it!

#Lanterns #spoilers #fantheory It's going to be about embracing all colors of the Lanterns, because inhabiting just one emotional state, deserving/expectant, is to your detriment. John wants control, works off snap judgment, staring down the barrel since he was a boy, tunnel visioning. He's a golden

And, he's like Elsa and Rumi at the beginning of their respective movies. Don't feel, hide, overeager to please. Doesn't bite THE Apple. Him brushing off the cop and covering his badge is the same act as what he did to whom at the end of the episode, that he's "taking over now" as the Authoritative.

Here are hints of Eastern philosophy to look for that are [my] excuses for a rewatch in these three shows; My Adventures with Superman finale[anime*], Ted Lasso season 4 episode 2[Yin/Yang], and the Pilot(nice) episode of Lanterns[Alan Watts]. Enjoy!

The TV writing cup runneth over in the West. Three shows have intelligent, subtly infused, representations of Eastern mindfulness/wisdom. I was concerned after Supergirl, but wow after watching the opening to Lanterns I think DC is fine. Nobody bats 1000, not even Michael Jordan.

If you're interested, a gateway for greek mythology I recommend is Epic: The Musical! SuperBunnyHop put out a video ranking his favorite interpretations, and it was their number 1! The community drew fanimations for songs, so it's a fun celebration of modern art, history, and myth interpretation.

This might not be news to you but I can't remember where I saw/read this now but I heard it was all in effort to remove the original three for being pro-trans, too, so they aren't the literal face of the legacy on the merch. R is that spiteful.

I don't know if you got to see HadesTown in theaters, but the extension of the myth is a pretty great in-game. I won't spoil it if you haven't but the song(s) Good Riddance is my favorite of the 2 games. The sequel is amazing, too! I think I put more time into that game than the first.

#spoilers I just saw all 3 in the Before Trilogy for the first time and I love how it bookends with fights. The first you don't see the "conclusion" of, and in Before Midnight we get a glimmer of hope with its aftermath. The modern adaptation of pushing a camel through the eye of a needle, 1/2
