So,I’m struggling with choosing between first and second image. I really like the one with background, but something seems to be missing there (I know that one thing is shadows).
Anyway, I must decide which pic to take for another website, and that will be hard.
Meanwhile, have finished pieces of my Whale Shark creature. I will be making ref soon ^^
ah yes, the solar eclipse, that glorious event every few years when apollo does something so incredibly stupid that artemis has to yell at him in broad daylight in front of half of the world
My favourite fact about Star Trek TOS is that, because automatic doors weren’t invented yet, the ‘automatic doors’ in TOS were really just some guy yanking a rope and pulley system to make them slide open. Problem was the person was far enough away that they couldn’t see when exactly the doors needed to be open, and relied on a signal from somebody just off set. The actors, however, had to act as if they were 100% confident the doors were going to open at the exact time and moment despite the fact that they occasionally did not which lead to multiple occasions in which the actors walked directly into the doors while they were opening.
A. it’s so surreal to think of the modern technology like automatic doors, that we just take for granted while watching Star Trek. But they were legitimately part of the futuristic elements of the show to the viewers at the time. It’s interesting to consider how these elements may have influenced those future inventions, as in the case with other tech on the show like the commmunicators. Also how differing social/historical contexts influences the reception of a work. What elements in our contemporary science fiction will seem commonplace or even hopelessly dated, to societies of the future? How will what we envision wind up shaping those societies, and what is the responsibility of us to…
B. nah anyway someone tell me there’s footage of Shatner doing this
Here’s a montage of several bloopers where people have problems with the doors. My personal favorite is Michael Dorn walking directly into the turbolift door and Patrick Stewart just smiles because it has to happen all the time.
more and more am i seeing videos and gifsets of wild animals in human environments being passed around on tumblr. while the majority of them are harmless on the surface, it feels like a lot of people either don’t question or just straight up ignore how odd it is to see a serval playing with a box in the kitchen, or a sloth clinging to someone’s pet cat, or a wild young bird following somebody around. consequentially, it means a lot of poor rehab ethics, husbandry practises, and iffy animals being kept as pets are being passed around as not only cute, but as acceptable and completely unworthy of criticism.
please consider the source before you reblog a video of a wild animal.
It can be done, so long as you can filter it and keep it at proper temps. But just because something can be done, doesn’t mean it should be. Keeping a betta in a larger tank is so much more rewarding, plus you can have a much neater looking tank if it’s large enough to decorate. Happy fish, happy person.
Sure, you can keep the fish alive, but it’s like keeping a dog in your backyard on a chain all its life. It can be kept physically healthy, but it’s not going to be happy, and it’s not much fun to interact with.
The way I’ve always understood it is that unless you’re tank is in a low/poorly lit area and you’re trying to grow plants, a light really isn’t necessary at all. It’s more for your viewing pleasure. The natural light in a house is enough to create a day/night cycle. So you should be just fine to keep using your light as you are 🙂
If the fish have enough light to see by, they’re fine without.
I wouldn’t leave the light on 24 hours a day unless there were a lot of dark spots, since fish don’t have eyelids, but minimal light shouldn’t cause them any problems.
If you want to be certain, you can get a light timer. You plug the timer into the wall and the light into that, set the times on the timer, and it turns the light on/off at those times for you.
Scientist: It turns out that when you keep a bunch of mice in mouse jail they do all sorts of weird shit lol. Anyway I need $500,000.
