Somehow bionic nipples weren’t on my futurism bingo card.

Happy birthday!!

Oh wow, I haven’t been since the storms.

Great pic! The light reflecting from the water is perfect. Summer Leys is such a great place for wading birds.

Perhaps you could try friend-finding apps such as Bumble BFF? You’re likely to find others there in a similar position to yourself. It also focuses on 1 on 1 which should be a little easier to manage with social anxiety.

Clubs are a good call. Look into societies at your university, find something that you’re interested in or think you could be interested in. Societies are social in a way that seminars and other course activities are not. Don’t worry if you don’t “click” with anyone immediately, keep attending and do your best to engage in conversations.

I also recommend seeking out a university counsellor. Most universities will have them and their advice can be valuable.

I doubt this is AI. This looks right for a micro-CT angiograph.

The blood vessels will have X-ray opaque dye injected, so they stand out on the CT. You can then set a threshold in the visualization software to filter out other tissue. The software then uses an algorithm to apply some shading to the surfaces of the unfiltered tissue to create a 3D effect.

The red colouring is a choice of the user, it just colours darker parts red and fades out to transparency.

Offworld Trading Company. Haven’t played the game but it’s a great sci-fi soundtrack by Christopher Tin of Civ IV fame.

5 years is also the maximum sentence for illegally selling firearms, violent disorder, performing female circumcision, assault, abandoning young children and some cases of sexually assaulting a child.

Basically the same as planning to block a road /s.

I’ll keep using Game Pass as long as the Xbox Live Gold / Game Pass Core upgrade trick still works. Once they clamp down on that I’m out.

I thought this was the adoring fan from Oblivion until I saw someone linked the source.

Nice writing, I enjoyed that.

I program for a living and I think of it more as doing the interesting tasks all day, rather than the mundane and repetitive. Chat GPT and GitHub Copilot are great for getting something roughly right that you can tweak to work the way you want.

There are companies trying to bring airships back. The Airlander 10 is expected to be flying flights over Spain in 2026.

I just started playing MGS for the first time! When I was a kid MGS was one of those “grown up” games I couldn’t play. I picked up a copy from a retro game store a few weeks ago and finally sat down to play at the weekend. I see what all the hype is about, it’s like diving into a 90s espionage thriller. Looking forward to playing further!

Best of luck, get well soon

I’m British, visited an anthropology museum last week and left feeling angry. Give it all back.

The video is great, there’s no T2 style transformation going on, they just melt the metal, move it with a magnet, then cast it back into the original shape.

Comments like this are why I like Lemmy, y’all are good people.
