I don’t… are those chips powered? Do they do something? Or are just like waiting to add batteries and start doing whatever they’re supposed to do after flying? 
Anyway I’m on my way to bed… friday is a local holiday in Barcelona so I’ll have a three days weekend, wooo! Nighties lovelies!
Also: everybody feels like this sometimes…
…to cats it’s like second nature

Also: ancient classic sculptures and buildings where anything but white…
…even if we don’t know how they looked exactly after being painted by masterful artists, we sure know what kind of pigments where used, and their color. Maybe we should start placing painted replicas by the originals to have a better grasp of ancient times…

Also: can you fix climate change?
…it makes good points, but frankly, I’m far from being sold on the carbon sequestering thing. CO2 it’s 400 friggin parts per friggin million in the atmosphere, I can’t see how concentrating it can be economically viable, nor where the hell are we supposed to store it for the next… what? A thousand years? Ten thousand? Talk about safely storing nuclear waste…
Addendum:
Yeah… kind of what I was thinking…

I missed the part where the guy explains how did the paint evaporate and what material was used for painting.
Also the video mentions BO… Man, I would love to dress like this:

Well, the paint eroded and fell off, after being rained on and buried in the ground for centuries. It was based on a mix of organic materials (like egg yolk or resin from trees), which eventually decompose, and mineral and organic pigments. What we know it’s from the microscopic remnants trapped in the pores of the rock which were open at the time of painting. By removing layers of dirt and reaching the pores contemporary to the painting, we can look for mineral pigments and remnants of organic ones and find out what they are/were.
Also in some cases, paint has survived and disintegrates after being exposed to oxygen (this happens a lot at the Xi’an site in China).

Basically whatever people do to get comfy is using too much resources in comparison when we would be like monekys in the forest.
There is no way back now tho. Humans would have to get rid of their overgrown brains and demote themselves to living in what would be considered niche environment with hecotomb in the beginning. The savior of the environment would be the greatest villain in history.
We will probably break out into the universe and mark other planets surfaces with our hot iron, and then plow.

If that is majority, is it still equal?

Well, if there’s a majority of women, then it is more equal than if it was a majority of men, apparently. But then it’s Iceland, they do things their own way over there…
Anyway it’s my time to go to sleep… nighties lovelies!
Also: the tallest ferrys wheel in the world…
…it has 48 observation pods which host up to 1,400 passengers, reaches 250 meters high and makes a full rotation in 38 minutes, so there’s a lot of time to do stuff while aboard. Price? Dunno. Probably in the line of “if you must ask the price, you can’t afford it”.

It’s 00:17 and i’m going to bed. Would be fine to not dream, unlike the last two nights, although the dream I had on the ngiht form Sunday to Monday was so weird I barely can remember it (some of it revolved about playing a music CD on a portable CD/casette player…). Nights without dreams, are nights I have good chance to rest properly (or maybe I just dream when I don’t rest properly).
Anyway, nighties lovelies!
Also: was this necessary? No. But it’s cool.
I like the way this guy explains the process.

Hmmm… I can’t see any use for that concept, although ti’s widely spread with sutff like big button for accept options and tiny links to reject them… anyone used to surf the web should be aware of this kind of trick and reject it as manipulation. But, maybe works with people not aware of how these dark patterns try to manipulate them, same as criminal spam works by finding gullible victims…
Anyway, i’m off to bed now. Nighties lovelies!

You might be interested to don’t like this message if you’re like one of those sad trolls who pollute the internet with the hateful drivel they type from their mother’s basement, wearing undies and with crumbs of stale pizza and dry stains of beer on their neckbeards.

I have to say I really like the drone footages of this volcano, more than icelandic one. Here it actually looks massive and really destructive, as I imagine volcanos can be.
Move aside Iceland, Canary Islands is where the real action is.

Today the IGME released this video:
It shows the three eruptive mouths open as of October 1st. For scale, the distance betwen the first and third it’s some 400 metres.

That makes sense.
Last week my dad had an accident and got badly injured. As soon as I heard the news, I went to his house to take good care of him and tidy up the house. He is much better now and doesn’t need me anymore.
The word “Ain” means “Eye” in Arabic. Eye Dubai. Just like Eye of London. Holding hands in public in Dubai? Things have changed a lot for sure.
