New study provides new evidence that the Antikythera mechanism was used to track the Greek lunar year
  • Glad to get more confirmation, but i think we already knew it was an astrolabe device. Incredible incredible accuracy on the parts though

    "...reveal new details about the calendar ring. They show that the ring is much more likely to have 354 holes, corresponding to the lunar calendar, than 365 holes, which would follow the Egyptian calendar."

    "...extensive set of probabilistic results, again suggesting that the ring most likely contains 354 or 355 holes in a radius circleUS 77.1mm, with an uncertainty of about 1/3mm. It also reveals that the holes are precisely positioned with extraordinary accuracy, with an average radial variation of just 0.028mm between each hole."

  • National Guard soldiers destroy Russia’s Su-25 attack aircraft in Donetsk region
  • "...Soldiers from the National Guard of Ukraine destroyed.."

    In case anyone else was wondering why US nat guard was there

    Also what, like two more SU out of service and that's all of them right?? LOL

  • Hiker dies in cow herd charge in Austrian Alps
  • I always learned to never walk between a bear mama and her cub, or a cow and her calf

    Asking for trouble

  • N. Korea launches some 350 trash-carrying balloons overnight: Seoul military
  • I wonder why they are sending the balloons

  • What could this be? on top of a street light post
  • Is that the flasher that goes off when an emergency vehicle triggers the lights to green?

  • Elon Musk has another secret child with exec at his brain implant company
  • Kinda fucked he only has them in executive and C level positions because they are banging him

    Talk about quid pro quo...

  • Dumb fucks
  • Yeah I get this is /s but it doesn't really convey over text

    Dont feed the trolls

  • Dumb fucks
  • Colin should have done was been even more patriotic and sung the anthem even louder, to express how much he loved America and how he wanted to see it become better. That would have inspired people who supported his cause

    Calls me naive LOL

  • Dumb fucks
  • Responsible protests don't hurt people's feelings

    I'm sure all the equal rights protests MLK orchestrated were highly accepted by the moderates and racists across the country and didnt hurt their feelings at all

    Oh wait, protest arent about your feelings but instead are about making critical changes in infrastructure and society

    Hatred and violence are not things protests are meant to inspire. But changing how you feel about an issue is exactly what they are meant to do

  • I watched Fury Road and Furiosa back to back and I noticed something interesting. (Spoilers inside, obviously.)
  • I also like the video game interpretation of Max. That he isnt really a "real" person. Hes more a doomed lost soul bound to forever wander the wasteland

    Makes sense with how legend/folklore he is. And it also alludes to why he isnt disfigured from the ravages of time and carries what seems to be memories and intellectual thoughts/words used before the apocalypse

  • I watched Fury Road and Furiosa back to back and I noticed something interesting. (Spoilers inside, obviously.)
  • "Shiny” and “chrome” are never said once in Furiosa.

    I didn't notice that - I'll keep that in mind when I get it on disc!

    There’s no suggestion that Gastown and The Bullet Farm had their own horde of drivers in Fury Road.

    Isnt that half the plot of Fury Road - Immortan Joe's warboys AND the gastown/bullet farm convoy all hunting Max and Furiosa

    All in all I really did like Furiosa since it didnt detract anything that made Fury Road great

  • I just ordered a 3ds from AliExpress - Wish me luck.
  • I see tonnes of Chinese sellers refurbing Gameboys

    Generally the PCBs are OEM from Japan. Everything else though....

  • Kbin.social down again? Are people moving to mbin instances (kbin.run, fedia.io)?
  • I moved to Mbin purely because kbin.social has been down

  • Worst prediction ever
  • Like Putin uniting NATO countries

  • Star Wars Fans Seem to Be Review-Bombing the Wrong 'Acolyte'
  • I haven't seen it, but coworkers have been talking with good regards and those guys are diehards

    So fingers crossed it's just internet trolls who are bombing it and its actually a decent SW show
