#variable
Lots of oysterlings on trees and twigs this week. I think they are variable oysterlings due to their size, it’s the most common but to be certain I’d have to look at the spores under a microscope to see if they are oval shaped, other oysterlings have round spores #FungiFriday #FungiFriends

This political moment has been engineered and the only variable not accounted for is us.

legit, i think it's a form of addiction. bc the more you use it, the harder it is to quit. it de-skills you, & is exhausting (choice, communication, etc), & expensive. it even has variable intermittent reward which is highly addicting.

frozen prepared foods are actually pretty damn good now
cold take: getting food delivered is an addiction on par with those mobile games that milk you for coins

it’s self-perpetuating and tough to break yourself of the habit even tho it not only is bad for you in many cases, it’s painful and irritating and the food doesn’t even arrive in good shape

Cladonia diversa is very variable, with some podetia bearing swollen bright red fruiting bodies, and others just tiny red studs on the cup rim. Heaths and dunes.

cool R trick for those unaware: the {labelled} package can be used to set variable labels which are automatically used by some other packages, including {ggplot2} and {gtsummary}
also:

library(labelled)
mtcars <- mtcars |> set_variable_labels(mpg = "Miles per gallon", wt = "Weight (1,000 lbs)")
ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, wt))

iPhone 18 Pro Could Feature Teleconverter Alongside Variable Aperture
iPhone 18 Pro Could Feature Teleconverter Alongside Variable Aperture
Apple's rumored new variable aperture camera system for this year's iPhone 18 Pro models has reached the sampling stage, according to a new claim from a Chinese leaker. Posting on Weibo today, the account known as "Smart Pikachu" said the feature had entered late-stage engineering samples, while a teleconverter is also "under evaluation" for the device. The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to launch in September 2026. A variable aperture would give users manual control over how much light reaches the sensor, potentially reducing overexposure and offering new depth of field options beyond computational photography. Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in December 2024 that the main rear camera on both iPhone 18 Pro models will offer variable aperture, which would be a first for the iPhone. A more recent report from October 2025 said Apple was moving ahead with plans to bring the technology to next-generation iPhones and was discussing components with suppliers. Today's teleconverter claim, meanwhile, is a new one. In typical DSLR cameras, teleconverters are optical elements that increase effective focal length, improving zoom reach at the cost of light intake. In this context, a teleconverter could improve mid-to-long range zoom quality while reducing the camera's reliance on digital cropping – and a variable aperture could help offset the light loss by opening wider when engaged. Apple's overall iPhone 18 Pro design will already be locked in at this stage in the development cycle. What Apple tends to continue doing at this point is evaluate specific features like camera modules. Apple may well be running parallel tests without committing any one feature to mass production, so there's still leeway for things to change. In this case, Apple is likely using the late-stage engineering samples to check the optical performance and reliability, as well as to gauge how easy the camera system is to mass produce, so it could always still drop the feature if it fails to meet Apple's quality standards. Smart Pikachu is known for providing accurate details about Android products in advance of launch, but in terms of Apple rumors, they are a relative newcomer on the Chinese supply chain rumor scene, so these claims warrant caution. The leaker recently claimed that the upcoming iPhone 17e will feature a Dynamic Island and a downclocked A19 chip.Related Roundup: iPhone 18Tag: Smart PikachuRelated Forum: iPhone This article, "iPhone 18 Pro Could Feature Teleconverter Alongside Variable Aperture" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums

Dénoncer les violences policières aux US c’est bien. En faire autant pour la France, ce serait mieux.

it was on glitch at the time which didn’t have a high enough version of node to support native fetch, so i assigned an npm package to a global fetch variable and then quit my job and now i make candles. tale as old as time

If you were supposedly a hawk & then "changed," & the only variable is the party ID of the president, then the actual conclusion to be drawn is that you really weren't in the first place 🤷‍♂️

The other conclusion is that you're an unserious hack. But we knew that already:
