Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.
Everyone, give

If you are learning Blender - or even if you're more experienced; there's always more to learn - Jan is a must-follow.
Blender 5 makes setting up a Lattice easier than ever. Select an object, or even multiple objects, and then from the Add menu choose Lattice Deform Selected. You can also use Lattices to add objects to the surface of another object, and to animate things. #blender #blender3d #b3d

We have officially taken control of #Sentinel6B! 🕹️
Now on the way to its nominal orbit, it will soon fly in tandem with Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich to ensure precise cross-calibration before becoming the world’s new reference mission for ocean altimetry. 🌊

Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk.

Hello @ec.europa.eu , or whoever is responsible for enforcing the rules, X's AI, Grok, is denying the Holocaust. Holocaust denial is illegal in France. Please don't make an exception when it comes to a billionaire, as usual.

An absolute classic that I regularly return to.
with the American Revolution in the news, I just wanted to mention that pioneering work of fictional nonfiction - Robert Sobel's 1973 FOR WANT OF A NAIL. A textbook from an alternate world, a parody of historiography, an homage to a student who died in Vietnam. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_Wan...

Since 2020, Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich has been the reference mission for high-precision ocean altimetry.
With the launch of #Sentinel6B, this vital record will continue into the next decade, extending a legacy that began with TOPEX/Poseidon in 1992.

NO TIME TO DIE Post-Credits Scene:
Close on Bond's hand. It begins to glow. An explosion of regeneration energy. Craig's face disappears in blinding light. When the light fades, Emma Thompson stares straight into the camera and smiles.
"It's about time," Bond says.
