theres bikes around the city you can rent but you have to use an app that needs your drivers license. theres buses that drive right to your destination, but if you dont have change you need the app. you can wash your car here if you sign into the app. you can go to the bathroom here you just have to unlock it with the app that needs your location on. you can order at this restaurant if you scan the code and download the app. im losing my freaking mind

alright everyone is being sassy but nobody has brought up the actual reason why scientists are interested in the titanic in the notes

Per wikipedia:

The Titanic was made of steel, presumably to resist corrosion (i mean. thats why boats are made of steel i assume) but even when iron/steel rusts people did not expect to find like. decomposition. bacteria are EATING the titanic.

and there's wood furniture from the titanic that isn't decaying. hell, there are wood ships at the bottom of the ocean that archaeologists study. so the expectation people have for the titanic is not that the steel would decompose at the bottom of the ocean. Even in 100 years, since there are much more ancient preserved wooden ships iirc.

(im not particularly knowledgeable about ships, i just had heard about the science going on around the titanic so i wanted to clarify that on this post for people)

The Titanic is an exceptionally weird whalefall basically.

Not a marine biologist but biologist enough to weigh in on this. The reason we have iron eating bacteria but not wood eating bacteria at the bottom of the ocean is simple. Hydrothermal vents release a cocktail of different mineral ores into the ocean. And bacteria and other organisms evolved alongside those so they evolved to digest these, like iron or other metal ores

Wood however does not exist at the bottom of the ocean since it basically never sinks down, even when logs are flushed out into the ocean they basically never end up at the ocean floor. So there's no bacteria that evolved to decompose lignin, which is already complex enough to decompose on the surface. And that's why wooden ships or the furniture on the Titanic stay intact for hundreds of years or longer.

Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.

AI industry groups are urging an appeals court to block what they say is the largest copyright class action ever certified. They’ve warned that a single lawsuit raised by three authors over Anthropic’s AI training now threatens to “financially ruin” the entire AI industry if up to 7 million claimants end up joining the litigation and forcing a settlement.

well…darn

there's been plenty of pushback against youtube's plan to age-check users by using an AI to analyze everyone's watching habits, but amidst that, i spotted this playlist circulating among some teens:

(picture is a reconstruction to protect the kids identity)

interesting! they're trying to trick the AI by watching videos that have a primarily adult viewer demographic? well im a curious fella so naturally i have to take a look-see, and

im simultaneously amused at the perception of what kids think adults watch, fascinated that they're thinking to take these measures, and saddened that theyre forced to live in a stupid digital panopticon

Keep signing because of invalid signatures, there's a chance a lot of what's gone up will be invalidated once the campaign is over. The bigger our margin is, the more likely it is to actually pass, and the bigger the final number, the more likely the EU is to fold to the pressure.

All these big companies changing their logos a dozen of times for something that looks worse every time, while the real all-time GOAT found the winning formula on the first try and then even did a victory lap with it:

Nothing! Traffic cones have nothing to do with media players. However they do have to do with the students that original made VLC. The original students used to steal traffic cones when they got drunk together and had amassed a collection of them. So the traffic cone was basically their mascot

March comes in like a lion appreciation post:

I decided my love for march comes in like a lion needed its own post since it’s my favorite anime. Let me start by saying you will not find this artsyle anywhere else, it’s truly so unique and special. It looks like the entire anime has been hand painted in watercolors. The way it looks crude at first but then you start to feel that it actually brings more life, more expressions, and more depth to the story. It truly wouldn’t be the same without it.

Next I want to talk about the incredible family in the story that adopted Rei as their own! They showed him what it truly means to have a family made up of people that love each other deeply, flaws included. They feed him and remind him that it’s normal and actually a good thing to have people in your life who want to care for and worry about you. They gave him a safe space and he in turn learned to care and worry about them. This family is the star of the show and I would die for them. Especially Hina!!

This anime deals with a lot of dark themes but they somehow manage to do it in a way that feels cathartic. They balance the heaviness with so much joy and laughter that even when I sob I still find myself feeling comforted. I’ve rewatched this anime through a lot of hard times in my life and it’s always felt like the biggest warmest hug.

Also the way they show the changing seasons in this show makes you feel like you’re experiencing them yourself. Each season is just so seeped into the story that the ambience comes through, especially summer and winter!

And yes while this anime is technically about shogi, it’s blended so well into the characters struggles, joy, and day to day lives that it never feels boring. So if that’s ever deterred you from watching it please give it a try!

Anyways all this to say march comes in like a lion holds such a special place in my heart :’) it never fails to make me feel 100 different emotions while also feeling like I’m being wrapped up in a warm blanket. Oh and it has the cutest cats of all time. Thanks for reading!!
