Where are these “positive people” you’re taking about?
Aha! Finally unveiling their evil scheme will surely bring them down!
Oh, they announced it themselves. Well, shit.
Not far enough. Someone might think “white man” is inclusive of diversity hires of descendants of immigrants from Ireland or Italy, and not exclusively of English origin.
Bow down before the one you serve
Spiders don’t have wings, but they can fly across entire oceans on long strands of silk. For more than a century, scientists thought it was the wind that carried them, sometimes as high as a jet stream — in a process known as “ballooning.” A new study shows that the Earth’s electric field can propel these flying spiders too.
The study, published Thursday in the journal Current Biology, found that when spiders are in a chamber with no wind, but a small electric field, they are likely to prep for take-off, or even fly. Plus, the sensory hairs covering the spiders’ bodies move when the electric field is turned on — much like your own hair stands up due to static electricity. This “spidey sense” could be how the creatures know it’s time to fly.
This makes spiders only the second known arthropod species, after bees, to sense and use electric fields. Because humans don’t feel Earth’s electric field, its role in biology is often overlooked, said Erica Morley, the study’s lead author.

To get a nice picture, I had to compensate for the problems posed by photographing actual screens of computers. One was glare from the daylight and from office lights; another was the curvature of the computer screen, which in those days were made from cathode ray tubes (CRT); a third problem was setting the correct exposure in the camera to end up with a richly-colored image.
… The glass was curved so that the electron beam traveled the same distance from its source to the screen, no matter its position on the screen.)
To compensate, I came into the office of CADalyst magazine at night, set up my camera on a tripod with a 100mm lens, reduced the f-stop by -2, and used the self-timer to take the photograph. It took, naturally, me a while to get all these parameters correct, as I was working with slide film, which needed to be sent away for processing. It could take a week or two to see if the results turned out – or not.

It’s only Nice when it comes from the Nice prefecture of France. Otherwise it’s just sparkling goodness.
it’s pronounced “gif”
Yeah, I didn’t have to worry about speeding in my bug.
When I had a Volkswagen, I called it, “180-60 air conditioning.” Flip it 180° and drive 60 mph.
Return to the office empowers the cartels.
