@Mer__edith just some crypto coin integration, because that was super necessary

@vitalis oh, I recognize her! she's the girl who made that video about medieval head scarfs and batted her eyes so demurely.

@CynAq yeah, I was wondering if @the_etrain would run away when not challenged regularly with a rapier

@ntnsndr yes, that is why I'm here, to save democracy. not for pics of species ambiguous erotica.

@Infoseepage @bruces Source for the numbers I mentioned: https://ecocostsavings.com/how-many-watts-does-a-laptop-use/

@Infoseepage @bruces
an idle laptop needs about 30 Watts and in use about 200W. even under optimal conditions there is no way you're gonna power it with the solar panel that fits on a laptop lid. at best you can slowly reload it. foldable solar arrays already exist, typically for hiking.

@prahou And when you ask them: Which data do you need? They only answer: More, more, more!

@prahou

I've been playing the top down shooter #TheAscent lately. Being a sucker for SF worlds that feel lived in this is a feast. The amount of detail is almost overwhelming. So much neon. The twin stick shooty part is also fun although the duck & cover system is mostly useless with quickly swarming enemies. Can't shake the feeling that this amazing world would have deserved a better story though.

@slothrop @dan @skye
kinda like the Pentecost gimmick where each listener heard the apostles speak in their own language. but with hot girls.

@openculture Hallelujah is Leonard Cohen's 7 Nation Army.

I was at the botanical garden and all the flowers were dead. They put up some large signs with poems instead, all about winter and death. It was depressing. I said, that's no way to do this! In the summer you can have all the memento mori you want. But in the winter we need melancholy wistful poems of summer!

I went to a former land fill just off the coast of #SantaCruz de #Tenerife. Someone topped it with fertile soil and turned this old dump into a beautiful garden hill called #Palmetum.
It now gives home to hundreds of #palms from all over the world. Since I'm quite passionate about these plants I made many photos. Here are some of their alien fruits. #kphoto #palms

a date tree and a pond with bananas growing in the water. I never knew that dates grow directly on the tree trunk! blew my mind

the gigantic palm #TahinaSpectabilis was only discovered in 2007. it grows exclusively in a small area on Madagascar. only about 90 specimens exist. plus 3 in the #Palmetum park on #Tenerife. its leaves are very rigid, like thin wood.

there's just a handful of barrel shaped palm tree species around the world and they all grow on islands. they store starch in their trunks to get an early start when the rain season comes around.
