I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED.

This answers so many questions

[cosmicsoar-deactivated20200906]

NO FUCKING WAY

Alright I did a Google and this thing is called a

Cofferdam

Do what you will with that information.

[tropicuhl]

Okay but how did they get to that point? I still have questions

[goomymegpoid]

I would assume they slowly lower into the water to displace it, but other than a guess I have no idea

[cjmoseley]

Usually a coffer dam is placed into a body of water and then the inside is pumped out... The aim is to grant access to the river bed after all. Often the Coffer dam will have to be sunk several dozen feet (several metres) into the riverbed.

SQL Murder Mystery: teaching SQL concepts with a mystery game

SQL Murder Mystery is a free/open game from Northwestern University’s Knight Lab that teaches the player SQL database query structures and related concepts while they solve imaginary crimes.

It was inspired by The Command Line Murders, a murder mystery game that teaches you to master Unix command-line syntax.

I love this kind of thing so much. Learning the abstruse syntaxes of power-users, network administrators and programmers gives users so much power over the computers they use.

This is someone dying while having an MRI scan. Before you die, your brain releases tons and tons of endorphins that make you feel a range of emotions. Tragically beautiful.

This is almost hypnotic watching the lines become shades and finally colours.

I’m not sure that that translates into human body language or not. 

🤔🤔🤔

[cjmoseley]

Can’t unsee this. Every time I see him now I’m going to wonder where the enormous horse’s arse is that no one can apparently see. Of course, in the greek myths the Centaurs were not only a proud and honourable warrior race, noted to their stamina and bravery, but they were also the best teachers, acclaimed for their wit, genius and wisdom, so maybe that’s what some people are seeing?

Gallery of Hong Kong protest art: #BeWater

Kick-ass political posters were a big deal generations before the moral panic over whether the #resistance was too concerned with instagrammable anti-trump signs; democratized access to layout, design and publishing tools have made the new authoritarian era into a golden age of brilliant protest art, as is evidenced by the Internet Archive’s collection of protest posters from the Hong Kong uprising.

One man’s art treasure is another man’s terrorism...especially if that man is The Man.
