Spoiler

always wanted to do that

Figured out someone would know for sure.
But that worked. Gotta get one, excellent gift for a SW fan friend.

At first I thought this was a new invention (?) that would have ice inside a container that you'd put in your drink, and it would cool it down without watering down your drink. I thought that'd be cool as shit.

20$ for a small rock cube sounds like a great deal indeed!

 

[EdibleExplosives]

You can get little rubbery/plastic cubes that do the same thing for cheap.

Here you go.

Hahah, FUCK, I've even heard of those. I'm such a dumbass.

Wut? You can buy little ice cube shaped containers you stick in the freezer. I don't know if water is in them or that blue liquid that we had in our lunchboxes since kindergarten.

New inventions are always good tho.

Reminds me of this awesome time lapse video of ho chi minh city. Does a pretty good job of showing how crazy the traffic can be here and yet still move relatively smoothly. I was just out about an hour ago trying to cross the street in that lol

Contact was amazing.

Hmm, what's happening in this one? Looks like maybe time lapse of a nebula or something, sped up?

That's actually how she looks now, sans make up and lenses.

Before it was like this.



She looks better now without make-up than she did before, tbh; but her barbie look is hideous.

This is amazing, those miniature stage sets are mindblowing.

Didn't WETA end up closing their miniatures department?

They really should put some fields for farming in the middle to be autonomous. What if zombies or knights attack?

Hey I visited that place a few years ago.

Look up "Brielle" on Google maps, since there aren't any high quality aerial pictures unfortunately. It's a bigger fortified city near where I live. As a matter of fact, my mother works in Brielle.

The Copenhagen fortress, which I've visited when I was a child, is similar as well.

It's called a Vauban Fortress, after the pioneering designer.

Spider That Builds Its Own Spider Decoys Discovered

A spider that builds elaborate, fake spiders and hangs them in its web has been discovered in the Peruvian Amazon.

Believed to be a new species in the genus Cyclosa, the arachnid crafts the larger spider from leaves, debris and dead insects. Though Cyclosa includes other sculpting arachnids, this is the first one observed to build a replica with multiple, spidery legs.

Scientists suspect the fake spiders serve as decoys, part of a defense mechanism meant to confuse or distract predators. “It seems like a really well evolved and very specialized behavior,” said Phil Torres, who described the find in a blog entry written for Rainforest Expeditions. Torres, a biologist and science educator, divides his time between Southern California and Peru, where he’s involved in research and education projects.

“Considering that spiders can already make really impressive geometric designs with their webs, it’s no surprise that they can take that leap to make an impressive design with debris and other things,” he said.

In September, Torres was leading visitors into a floodplain surrounding Peru’s Tambopata Research Center, located near the western edge of the Amazon. From a distance, they saw what resembled a smallish, dead spider in a web. It looked kind of flaky, like the fungus-covered corpse of an arthropod.

But then the flaky spider started moving.

A closer looked revealed the illusion. Above the 1-inch-long decoy sat a much smaller spider. Striped, and less than a quarter-inch long, the spider was shaking the web. It was unlike anything Torres had ever seen. “It blew my mind,” he said.

...

“I have never seen a structure just like this,” said William Eberhard, an entomologist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and University of Costa Rica who studies spiders and web-building.

Not sure. It's made by artist Jorge Rodriquez-Gerada here in the Netherlands. Part of the kick-off of a campaign to get attention for female human right activists.

Edit: regarding the 'star fortresses', Naarden is pretty dope too:

Could have been in the film just as likely.

Ah, I thought it was some known figure. Cool pic nonetheless.
