My new movie trailer for "The Fly", but it's the 1986 version as if it was done in the 50's.

This is precisely the kind of thing other people were doing that inspired me to get into AI video-making. What, you can make a whole trailer? How?! Now, a lot of people, really a lot, and I might even say MOST people are not having this one bit. In fact, for every AI video I lovingly put together and put out for people’s entertainment, I lose followers (as in, I lose more than I gain). People are…

Every bacteria is the first bacteria. It has changed beyond recognition. There is no divide where progenitor ends and progeny starts. It is the mother and the son, the father and the daughter. It is ancient. Its current iteration might be just minutes old. It dies in numbers our brains are incable of understanding. It is immortal.

Abby, I agree with you that Oppenheimer was really fucking good, but I also read Richard Brody's take in The New Yorker today, and it's kinda hard to argue against it? IDK. I'd love to hear your take on Brody's take.

eh i’m not generally a fan of brody but i also don’t think film criticism exists as a thesis to then be defended/argued against. his critique makes sense coming from a person who clearly wanted an entirely different film, the bulk of his argument such as it is, stems from how the movie thwarted his expectations and did not fulfill what he was hoping an oppenheimer biopic would fulfill. i think as always, chris nolan has some blind spots as a filmmaker, and certainly, oppenheimer exists in the film as an enigma, albeit one we view from his own point of view, which has its limitations. i’m sure i can speak more eloquently and fully aboit those things when it’s not midnight and my face doesn’t still feel numb.

but the way the movie spoke to me was as a towering conglomeration of Feeling…. the script, the score, the editing, the pacing, the cinematography for ME add up to a film that is more concerned with trapping you in a very specific State, where words, reasoning, moral arguments (especially after the fact) mean NOTHING in the bigger picture, where all the posturing in the world is meaningless when the consequences are something we are all familiar with… it’s not a biopic, it was never trying to be a biopic. it’s an overwhelming, inescapable, long three hours looking through the eyes of a man who, perhaps, does not deserve a more nuanced, illuminating portrait… it’s the dread that sits with you, the understanding that all of these moments of grandstanding, politicking, wavering, handwringing are nothing against the reality of fusion and fision. and like. that’s not going to work for everyone! it maybe isn’t even the responsible way to tell a story like this! but i think the film as it stands is a remarkable technical achievement that also succeeds in what it’s trying to do, and if you wanted it to be something different, or needed it to be something different, or think it shouldn’t have been made at all, none of that is going to work for you and that’s fine.

personally i love experiencing a visceral reaction like i’m having my face peeled off when faced with insane external stimuli combined with my own ethics and understanding of historical events

The Middle Temperocene: 150 million years post-establishment

Make A Munky Out Of Me: Lemunkies of the Middle Temperocene

Lemunkies, a clade of arboreal omnivores that first emerged in the Therocene and rose to greater prominence in the Temperocene, have peaked in diversity in the Middle Temperocene where tropical forests begun to spread: allowing them to dominate in the continents of Mesoterra, Arcuterra, and South Ecatoria, with an abundance of trees and tree-dwelling organisms to encourage their evolution and diversity. But in spite of their climbing origins, some unique species have begun to forsake their roots and make a foray into other, more unusual ecological niches, and with form following function, their superficial resemblance to earthly primates began to distort, often in peculiar ways.

Many of the earlier, basal forms, mostly native to the forested South Ecatoria, have retained their arboreal ways, clambering and swinging through the branches with the aid of flexible shoulders and hips, opposable grasping digits, and long flexible tails. Some, such as the glove-tailed baki (Gymnocaudus rubricephalus), have adapted their tails into prehensile appendages with a naked hairless tip capable of grasping like a fifth limb, while others, such as the white-browed goldruff (Leosimus aureus) have more rigid tails that act as counterbalances when running about in the branches, as well as being used as display signals to other members of their group, their frugivorous diet being conducive to good color fision and thus colorful intra-species displays.

In the larger members of the arboreal lemunkies, the chimpmunks, the use of a tail had become gradually less important, as their larger size and slower, more deliberate movements as opposed to a fast, scurrying gait made a counterbalance less vital, and thus their tails shrank to small nubs. They were retained by many species, such as the tuft-tailed chimpmunk (Myosimius leucacauda) as a form of display and communication among members of a clan, with the oldest and most dominant males having the whitest and most conspicuous tails. Other species however would lose them entirely, such as the leafweaver (Acaudatamys folitextoris), a species that settles in large communal nests in the trees, woven from chewed-up plant matter, and thus has no need for visual signalling as they are a highly vocal species instead, whose calls can be heard from long distances in the treetops.

But while arboreal in ancestry, many species would independently evolve into ground dwellers, either to exploit an abundance of food on the forest floor or to travel greater distances in places with sparser trees. Smaller species, such as the regal pinpine (Echinopithecus regalis) which weighs less than six kilograms at most, rely on specialized defenses to keep themselves safe from predators as they travel through Mesoterra's sparsely-forested grasslands: in the pinpine's case, sharp, bristly hairs covering its tail like fine quills that embed painfully in a predator's skin and are very difficult to remove, and which are advertised by bold, contrasting coloration warning of its defenses.

Larger ground-dwellers, however, have less to fear on the ground, with their size along being a significant deterrent to any potential attackers. Notable for such are the hamrambes of South Ecatoria, the most common of which is the orange pongongo (Zaius pongomus), which at 200 kilograms on average is no pushover to lycanines and tigerillas alike. Their social bonds and willingness to work as a group and defend the younger and weaker individuals are especially what make them very difficult prey: a single individual by itself is probably manageable to a persistent predator, but an entire troop rallying in defense is a formidable force to be reckoned with, and thus these forest-floor foragers, gentle vegetarians that are peaceful unless provoked, have little to concern them if they travel in groups.

Off the coast of Arcuterra, on the small, isolated island of Isla de Oof, however, is a species that had gone the opposite route of their kin, which had trended toward smarter and more social groups. The greater oof (Tardipithecus maximus), a descendant of the big oof from ten million years prior, is an enduring evolutionary marvel wrapped in the guise of an evolutionary failure: having a brain-to-body ratio even less than that of its ancestor the big oof, it has maximized its ability to thrive on such a nutrient-poor diet at the expense of sacrificing nearly all cognitive power except the absolute basics, and with no predators anywhere near big enough to threaten it, it has endured virtually unchanged since the time of its ancestors. About the only major difference is its preference for increased bipedalism, due to its low-level browsing slowly selecting for taller trees, and with shorter but sturdier hind legs and the use of its arms as swinging counterbalances when walking, the greater oof is granted an uncannily anthropomorphic appearance: yet not one indicative of its intelligence.

Most lemunkies are omnivorous, though lean more heavily on plant matter, occasionally supplementing their diet with insects, small rattiles and the occasional ratbat if they can catch them. One group, the moglins, in sharp contrast to their kin, have become entirely carnivorous: smaller species, such as the slender moglin (Gracilipithecomys haskinsi) are nocturnal hunters of small prey: with the aid of their large eyes and sensitive ears, they can locate small prey even in the dark. Their diet consists mostly of various invertebrates, as well as rattiles, squizzels, ratbats and other easy meals half their size or smaller. Bigger members of the moglin family, however, have a preference for equally larger quarry. The midnight howler (Noctipithecomys lugosi) is the largest of the moglins, and can weigh as much as 35 kilograms on average-- and its diet consists primarily of other species of lemunkies such as chimpmunks, which it ambushes and hunts at night: as a trade-off to their better color vision, most lemunkies have reduced eyesight at night time, an advantage the midnight howler fully exploits. Female midnight howlers are social, relying on team efforts to surround and catch their prey, which they share fairly amicably: males, on the other hand, are solitary, and often shunned by troops of females, especially during the birthing season, due to their high aggression and cannibalistic tendencies.

With arboreal, terrestrial, megafaunal, herbivorous and predatory forms, the lemunkies have radiated into a wide array of forms by the coming of the Middle Temperocene. Yet perhaps the most unexpected frontier has been also pioneered by a few unusual species: the flooded forests of the beachpeach. A species of stonefruit that adapted to coastal environments with its stilt-like roots and floating, ocean-migrating fruit, these unusual mix of ocean and jungle have only expanded with the rise of sea levels as the Middle Temperocene got warmer. This created a perfect opportunity for the sunkeys: a group of semi-aquatic lemunkies that first started diving into the water to escape predators and to feed on floating fruit. However, over the millennia, some of the sunkeys have further specialized for aquatic life, as more underwater vegetation lay waiting to be taken advantage off, in an environment too shallow and crowded for the herbivorous marine hamatees to take advantage of.

Some small species, such as the grey sunkey (Castoropithecus marinus) are still fairly great climbers as they are swimmers, still possessing gripping claws and prehensile digits in spite of their webbed digits and paddle-like tails, climbing into the trees to search for fruits and for twigs and materials to build their nests, but plunging into the water below at the first signs of danger, with their main predators being aerial ones such as falcyons and ratavults which try to try to target them from above. Other, larger species, in contrast, have basically committed themselves to the water: the merangutan (Pongosyrenus melanus) at over 300 kilograms, now has become too heavy for scaling the narrow stilt roots of the beachpeach and instead has become a specialized swimmer, with hind limbs losing their claws and becoming short, stubby paddles, while its forepaws retain them as it uses them to forage for beachpeach fruit, seagrass and other aquatic plants. While insulated mostly with a layer of fat, its fur doubles as a waterproof coat, with dense repellent guard hairs helping keep the soft underfur warm and dry. They spend nearly all their time in the water, foraging on their own, but occasionally gather ashore in groups to rest. Hauling their heavy, once-arboreal bodies ashore in a clumsy sea lion-like fashion, these gregarious gatherings are where nearly all their social interaction, such as courtship, dominance displays, and breeding takes place, otherwise which they are entirely solitary, with the exception of young who cling onto their mother's backs until they are weaned and able to swim on their own.

just finished watching this theory video and im obsessed

dude points out how the red line coulve been a ring revoling the earth similar to egghead island and that there might be a white dwarf star at the center of earth for nuclear fision

Separation

I split in two some people's characters: 1) YurixTheWanderer's character, Aleph. She divided into Beth and Tav (second and last letters in the Hebrew alphabet, since Alpeh is the first one). - Beth got all of Aleph's shyness. She barely can talk or simply be too close to anyone. It's a serious problem. She's not a warrior, and the only magic she retains are healing powers. But it's hard for her just took enough courage to heal someone. - Tav is curious, inquisitive and always wondering how the world works. But she completely lacks manners. Not very ladylike or elegant. In battle, she uses her offensive magic power without consideration, can be really scary at that point. 2) ZeroForever's Tammy, formerly Tim, from the Overlord Bob universe. The two halves in which she divided are: - Thomasina: Even more sweet, tender, bubbly and bimbo-esque than Barbie. She's happy and in love with her, and that's all, because she's... well, you know, simple-minded. - Tamylin: Basically, she has recovered Tim's original proud personality, but with no masculine traits. That should make her an enemy of Barbie again. However, she's still in love with Barbie, so she's gonna have a pretty high number in her "tsundere" stat. 3) cyero's character Oublitette, who already has a double personality! (Sorta...) Oubliette was separated in: - Miette: Even when Oubliette just *pretended* to be a silly teenager sometimes, this part of her mind has come to life in Miette's form, much more innocent than her fake counterpart. Being this her origin, she fells like a fraud, even if this time she's not posing! It's very confusing for her, but she's a real part of Oubliette's mind: she's the part that makes Oubliette to hold herself back! - Oblivion: With the good part of Oubliette's psique gone, Oblivion's got all the craziness and murderous thoughts. She can't barely react rationally, is near to behave like a beast.  Originally Published: Nov 13, 2011

How are you today

i am doing well although im supposed to be writing a paper on nuclear fision and intrinsic luminosity and I am procrastinating.

“Producing energy and heat using plasma fusion is one of the promising technologies for the transition to sustainable energy sources. One of the challenges is managing the temperatures in the plasma edge. Ph.D. researcher Artur Perek has built an imaging system known as MANTIS to image and monitor temperature in the plasma edge, and he has improved the software performance to enhance control of plasma edge temperatures.”

El accidente de Chernóbil se produjo cuando el director del equipo de operación de la Unidad 4 de esta central nuclear intentó demostrar que estos reactores no eran tan peligrosos como se decía en los libros de texto. Para ello decidió llevar a cabo un experimento extraordinariamente arriesgado y peligroso.

Consistió en lo siguiente: se bajó la potencia del reactor desconectando algunos de sus sistemas de seguridad y se cerró la entrada de vapor en la turbina para demostrar que la inercia de la turbina en vacío era suficiente para mover las bombas de refrigeración de emergencia. Con objeto de aumentar la potencia, se extrajeron 162 barras de control de las 170 que tenía, dejando sólo 8 dentro del reactor y violando de este modo las normas de seguridad que exigían que hubiese un mínimo de 30 barras de control dentro del reactor.

Sucedió lo que estaba previsto en los libros de texto de teoría de reactores. Subió la temperatura y teniendo en cuenta que ese tipo de reactores tienen el coeficiente de reactividad por temperatura y huecos positivo durante el arranque, se aumentó el número de fisiones y, consecuentemente, la energía producida, lo que dio origen a una nueva subida de temperatura. El equipo de operación intentó parar el reactor introduciendo las 162 barras de control de extraídas erróneamente pero, debido al aumento de temperatura, éstas se atascaron impidiendo la parada del reactor. La temperatura siguió subiendo hasta fundir todos los elementos combustibles, de tal modo que comenzaron a arder las 1.700 toneladas de grafito que tenía el reactor, formando un gigantesco horno que expulsó a la atmósfera isótopos radiactivos que contenía el combustible, principalmente Yodo 131 y, en menor cantidad, Cesio 137.

[…] Dentro de los programas de respuesta de emergencia de un accidente en una central nuclear, el protocolo establece que es obligatorio tener una reserva de pastillas de yodo estable para repartir entre la población inmediatamente después, debido a que durante el accidente lo primero que se emite es Yodo 131 que es radioactivo y tiende a ser absorbido por la glándula tiroides, pudiendo llegar a producir cáncer en esta glándula. La ingestión adecuada de pastillas de yodo estable satura esta glándula, evitando que el yodo radioactivo se acumule en ella. En Chernóbil, las pastillas de yodo se repartieron sólo a los trabajadores de la central y a algunas personas dentro de una zona de radio de 30 kilómetros.
