Well, she inhereted all that money, right? Maybe... Juuuust maybe she could spend it on nuclear or green energy production technologies.
"Raising awareness" and "things happening" aren't the same thing.
Due diligence goes both ways.
No. Oil companies could manipulate people like these to make activism look bad, by, for example, doing really dumb stints like these.
Investing in nuclear would help.
Throwing soup in art galleries is worse than doing nothing.
Bit we're not talking about stopping oil production. We're talking about how stupid and pointless defacing art is.
Yeah, so Just Stop Oil grabbed attention with a stupid act. What's everyone talking about? The stupid act.
Big oil gets away with shit because the activists that suck up all the attention are retards.
We're talking about their pointless stunt, not about climate change. They're adding absolutely nothing.
You'd have to live under a rock to not be aware of climate change. If you do live under a rock, you wouldn't hear about some dumbasses throwing soup in an art gallery.
If you know about climate change, but don't care about climate change, a stupid act like this is not going to change their mind. Nothing will.
An incredibly stupid sentiment.
Assault on an oil exec... I don't see anything morally wrong here. It's also straight to the point, rather than attacking art.
Anything that targets art is on the wrong side of history.
Throwing soup at paintings is only radical in how radically stupid it is.
You want radical? Go sabotage an oil refinery. Become eco-terrorists.
What Just Stop Oil is doing is nothing more than feeling good about themselves.
I don't own a car. Most of what I do is done via bicycle, with the occasional public transport on the side. I don't buy a new piece of tech whenever it comes out, or throw tech out unless it's well and truly broken. I don't participate in one-day fashion, usually wearing all my clothes till they're threadbare.
But these are all consumer side things. They don't do shit. It's a wonderful corporate ploy to say that climate change is somehow in our hands. But throwing soup at great art sure as fuck isn't going to suddenly change that.
No, but actions like this will bring more people onto their side.
Well, clearly not throwing crap at paintings. Now I want to see these guys arrested and thrown in jail.
Oh, I dunno, any action that's actually related to the industry? Throwing crap at classic art as a means to bring attention to a cause completely unrelated to classic art is retarded.
Just Stop Oil has to be the most destructive and idiotic activist group I've ever heard of (besides Greenpeace and their anti-nuclear agenda). They make activism as a whole look bad with their pointless stunts.
What does Vincent van Gogh have to do with the current state of the petrol industry? What does any classical artist have to do with the current state of the petrol industry? Why go out of one's way to try and ruin something that isn't even remotely related to the subject? They're only making themselves look like a bad joke.
Doesnt help they're total assholes either; a few years ago they blocked a motorway in England in protest. Fair enough. But there was a family who's baby had to be rushed to the nearest hospital, and they weren't allowed to pass! Seriously, fuck them.
First a definition for this question, because there are many kinds of sci-fi out there and they sometimes liberally use cool sounding words without explaining them:
A disruptor is a kind of weapon that weakens, or "disrupts", either material bonds (breaking a material into molecules), molecular bonds (breaking a molecule into atoms), or atomic bonds (breaking an atomic nucleus into protons, netrons, and free electrons. Almost like instantly turning into plasma).
Temperature can do these things, but the idea behind a disruptor, specifically, is that it happens through some kind of catalyst, rather than brute-forcing with insane amounts of heat.
Would such a weapon physically be possible (even if we don't know how to make them just yet)?
How would a target realistically behave when hit by a disruptor?
So, I have a Steelseries M800 keyboard and a Corsair mouse. Unfortunately neither of them are supported by Open RGB, and so I'm stuck with my RGB making rainbows.
Well, sort of. My keyboard still has the configuration it had from when I still used Windows over 2 years ago. But my mouse does not.
I use an XP Pen tablet for making art, and the official driver from XP Pen doesn't come with any options to adjust and calibrate the screen's colours, but I managed to figure out how to access these hardware settings through command line. Now this has me wondering if it's possible to do the same for my keyboard and mouse.
I have a 2nd generation XP Pen Artist 13. It's a great tablet and I've managed to make it work with my Steam Deck too.
But...
It's basically an external monitor with pressure sensitive surface, so still less portable than an actual stand alone table. So I'm wondering if there is a tablet with a pressure sensitive screen and battery free pen that either comes with Linux or can install Linux on.
The programs I use for making art are Krita, Gimp, and Blender 3D.
There are many other bee species that can sting Humans and survive, but the European honeybee has a barbed stinger, so it cannot remove the stinger once it's stung. In attempting to remove the stinger the bee will rupture its lower abdomen and then die.
Why? What is the evolutionary advantage to that?
I apologize if this video has already been posted here. I did a rudimentary look through the posts of the past few days and couldn't see it.
Recently discovered The Art of Noise by looking up Max Headroom. Found a bunch of tracks I like that fit well with my already existing Spotify playlists.
However, I want to find more music like three of the dance tracks on the album Dreaming. specifically like the tracks "Colour Red", "Colour Maroon", and "Colour White".
Any recommended tracks/albums/artists?
I want to get back into reading, so I'm thinking of getting a Paperwhite. But I have no idea if it's possible to transfer files to it from a computer, and I have no experience with pirating books.
Do I go to the same places I torrent movies and games or are there special places dedicated to E-Books?
EDIT: So many awesome answers on here! You guys have been very helpful. Thanks a lot!
