I really am trying to keep the posts down. Here are some science items I have been holding onto for a few days.
The new Mimaki 3D Printer can print 10 million colors in one model. The models look amazing and printing is becoming faster and more capable at a good but slow rate.
Lasers are in the news. The first one had scientists making their own solar flares with lasers to study how they work. The second had scientists controlling lightning using lasers and filament meta materials.
The last one is about Star Trek Phase II. The first movie was actually for a show where the crew worked on a revamped Enterprise. They couldn't get advertising, so it became a movie.
Side note: this is one interesting thing about “the black dog” (although I would put this more down to anxiety):
I have to literally force myself not to retreat away from everyone and everything, again.
Like, even today, I thought, “Should I go to ground again, until I get my life more in order? At least then I won’t see the good things in other people’s lives that make me feel worse…” [wedding photos. It was wedding photos, for yet another wedding I was not invited to].
Never do that. Never let yourself get too comfortable absorbed in your own sad/fear. Because as you say, life moves on, whether we, as individuals, are there as part of it or not.
And things do not get better unless you force them to. They just don’t.
There’s my ten cents, lol.
