Thanks! Not planning on stopping any time soon, it's just sooooo slowwwwwwww going at this point! 💜

Love it!! Are you a fan of more "human" style hands for characters (versus a hybrid style like three fingered hooves with thumb) more for artistic sake, or intentional for supporting dexterity of characters in daily life?

Always curious, especially at the level of deep lore you love to work at! ❤️

Sadly the plural of "anecdotes" is not "data" and a single data point instance is useless for making accurate generalizations. This seems really, REALLY hard to explain to some people who will not accept that correlation does not equal causation. :/

This! Tired of seeing LazyAss GoFundMe's for the stupidest shit that a person could make some effort to fix.

At least it's better than some artists who imply you'll actually get your emergency commission for "helping in an emergency" and then it's crickets indefinitely once their crisis has passed.

Felt blurry, might delete later!

Sometimes the lighting is perfect and you catch a surprising reflection. I feel like I'm finally making solid progress again, but looking forward to really leaning out again in the spring! #bodybuilding #fitnessfurs

Here's the peer-reviewed paper published by Cornell/Rutgers if you'd like to read a more in-depth analysis of the data: scijournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... :)

Deep learning‐based laser weed control compared to conventional herbicide application across three vegetable production systems

In 2024, trials in New Jersey and New York evaluated the effectiveness of laser weeding with a Carbon Robotics unit compared with herbicides on beets, spinach, and peas. Results demonstrated that las...

Yeah, 25+ years experience working with high power lasers for industrial an other applications. Well familiar with the physics and chemistry. :)

Not to any substantial degree, no. This is basically the high-speed equivalent to setting a bit of grass on fire with a magnifying lens and the sun. :)

None. Spot-burning vegetation just releases a bit of tiny bit of carbon and inhibits the ability of the weed to grow further.

This thread is absolutely worth a read and exactly mirrors much of what we have to deal with in electronics manufacturing as well.

It also shows you the absolute ignorance of people who want Made In The USA but then complain about the price of such things.

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵
