@Kaiern@graphics.social seen that you want to challenge yourself, what can you tell us about this piece? It seems like most of them include a human(oid?) figure, why? is it the same character exploring these worlds?

I don’t know, but I really like seen whatever @bekopharm@discuss.tchncs.de cooks at !diysimulators@discuss.tchncs.de , so just tagging him in case he has any recommendations

@Ailantd@mastodon.art If there is a title, let me know and I’ll edit the post. Btw, how big is the Palestine’s fleet?

For context to those unaware:

@ateliersento@mastodon.art how was the Lyon tram painting process? Did they give you carte blanche? And for those of us not in Lyon, how can we appreciate the whole piece? lol

Don’t miss on “Scaled” sorting, it’s one of my favourites:

Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time

Hot: Like active, but uses time when the post was published

Scaled: Like hot, but gives a boost to less active communities

@kimhu@mastodon.social Back in 2021, you mentioned some of your favourite and/or most exciting projects were still under NDA. Can you disclose them now? Have you favourites changed since then?

Corals there grow one to two centimeters a year, laying down a calcium carbonate skeleton with a chemistry that depends on the water it formed in. In these skeletons, Cole and her colleagues looked at the strontium-to-calcium ratio and at different isotopes of oxygen because both track temperature. “As temperatures get warmer, we get less strontium in the coral,” Cole said. Sampling the extracted cores of fossilized corals millimeter by millimeter yields more than a dozen measurements per year—a monthly temperature log for the life of the coral colony.

Living colonies cover recent decades and can be checked against instrument data. The deeper history comes from dead coral heads, which can be dated using uranium-thorium methods to within a few years, even as far back as 500 years. “We were also able to find corals that are dead and washed up on the beach,” Cole said. “They may be 100 years old, 200 years old, or 900 years old, or even older.”

The result of sampling corals was a patchy but long temperature log—28 time-separated series from five islands, covering scattered years back to around 1100 CE. Set against that baseline, the last four decades look rather strange.

Fascinating stuff, we can almost map it to the Norman Conquest. Does anyone know if we have this data openly available anywhere?

DOI for Recent strengthening of eastern Pacific ENSO in the last millennium paleorecord is paywalled, unfortunately

no one wants to build a commercial
population density is < ~150 people per square mile

Both are directly related to zoning and parking mandates.

No one builds because they can’t. Low density because they can’t build higher density, and I’m not talking about high rises, you can’t even build ADUs (accessory dwelling units), home businesses, multifamily housing, gentle density. It is literally missing the middle due to laws

Strong towns goes into great details about it, if you are interested. See this article as an example:

The 6 Zoning Reforms Every Municipality Should Adopt

but there is nothing we can do about it out here

I’d argue you actually can, as it is usually (1) zoning laws that prevent commercial buildings to mix with residential use and (2) parking mandates that make no sense. Both can be changed and have great effects locally

@ldurrant@mastodon.art you’ve mentioned you’ve used krita to create “Home”. How long have you used it? Were you already using it back in 2019 when you created “Safe Landing”?

It is available now if you haven’t seen it yet

After months of iteration and testing, the 1.0 release of re:Blue is out Friday and will be available on GitHub, timed to the 19th anniversary of Blue Dragon’s release in the US

I guess it should be available later on today

I have no clue, but I’ll try to at least guess the platform/year: PS1/1998

@crimsonbutterfly@vernissage.photos did you have to wait another 3 hours to capture the bandicoot, like you had to do with the possum?

@ThompsonArt@mastodon.art have you done any other pieces on Welsh mythology?

UI used a pair of underwear: one was retrieved for examination after 1 month, and the other in the second month

TBI is usually retrieved at the 90 day mark, but they decided to retrieve them in the same timeframe as the UI for this study

Sounds like they could use Christmas trees that would go to the landfill instead

@harriorrihar@mas.to is there a title for this piece? If there is, let me know and I can edit this post
