My custom instacart usability script - Gives sponsored items low opacity - Gives out of stock items a pink background - Clicks sort by price automatically on every page load Most interesting thing here imo is just how much sponsored items ordinarily completely mess up sort-by-price

Took apart a speaker and it was full of fiberglass Probably secures the speaker, prevents case buzzing, is fire resistant Puny glass rods that go everywhere and permanently lodge themselves in your body. What a concerning material. I put on gloves and wiped stuff down a ton.

from googling "ratatouille evangelion"

Evangelion style title slide saying "Anyone can be a pilot / A Ratatouille crossover / Wait what was that other crossover? The rat is actually piloting the-"

Linguini pierced by the Lance of Longinus, Remy screaming like Asuka in End of Evangelion

Giant ghostly Linguini above a pool of pink water, Remy and his brother Emile on an icy surface looking on, recreation of last scene from End of Evangelion

Official Mecha Alignment Chart. Left to right: technology purist / neutral / rebel. Top to bottom: size purist / neutral / revel. From top left to bottom right, each row:
Gundam, Evangelion, Attack on Titan
Iron Man, Kamen Rider, Humans
Custom Robo, Beyblade, Pokemon

Ratatouille would likely be Tech rebel / Size purist.

shinji, shinji's dad, and the noticeable absence of shinji's mom. a question remains: who was piloting chef gusteau?

Remy on a Parisian rooftop saying "All this time I've been underneath Paris?"

Remy standing atop Linguini's head, holding two thick strands of Linguini's hair, one in each hand

Remy's dad saying "What's taking those kids so long?", in a musty, dark area, maybe an alley or pantry, light penetrating thick air, food in the background, several other rat "extras" in frame

Remy smiling, holding a bottle, with text/caption overlaid on bottom saying "Your only limit is your soul"

more newton - atoms - light, bio, candles, creation - soul - alchemy

raph @raph.bsky.social · 16/08/2023

more newton - other being easier to study than I; perpetual magnet - more perpetual motion; how water rises in vegetables and how vegetables grow/stop growing - light sails, measuring light's speed; location of the "common sensorium" - sense is preserved anterior to tied up limb; light field stuff?

101

raph @raph.bsky.social · 16/08/2023

newton on - how a homogenous initial universe might become heterogenous - subperceptual but finite divisibility of matter (ie atoms, not the best argument here though?) - argument against water being composed of long stringy atoms
