DNS uses distributes hash tables, which is decentralized. Though, yes, there is centralization in terms of trusted entities able to issue domain names and top level domains, you can already host your own distributed and decentralized name servers

Wow! Is that a career? What’s the coolest place or thing you’ve performed?
What kind of windows?
VLC runs great on Mac and Android as well
You know, “hatch”. But it’s funnier saying door. Could a ship just dock with it, equalise pressure, and open the hatch? Or is there some sort of security? I tend to think ‘no’ because of a macabre situation where the crew are dead and the station is being recovered. But it’s amusing to think in space they don’t need to keep the doors locked.

Behavioral mirroring is often a sign of trust or comfort, and applies to levels of eye contact as well. If someone is subconsciously doing the same things you are doing (e.g. longer and more direct eye contact if you initiate, more or slower blinking, more smiling, more relaxed postures to mirror yours), those are good signs of interest.
The converse is also true. If you are doing a lot of direct eye contact, and it seems like the other person is often looking away or closing up their body (crossed arms or rotating their torso away), that’s a sign to reduce some of those behavioral signals to match.
I’d say there isn’t a “This exact amount” to most things, as people are all different in their preferences, and it’s more about adjusting up and down with someone, in response to their small non-verbal or body language signals. They will likely be doing the same with you. Also, as others have mentioned - you can be more direct with words. If this is something you’re unfamiliar with and there’s someone you trust, you can say directly that you’re uncertain and ask something like “I’m not great at knowing how much eye contact feels correct, could you let me know if you notice too much or too little?”. If they are friendly with you, they’ll also likely be comfortable with the small request.
Also, just to say it - eye contact can mean the general eye area - it doesn’t mean your exact pupil to their exact pupil. I find that if I focus on the literal eye/pupil, then I get strained trying and keep attention on that specific small area. If I focus on the general eye area (nose/forehead/eyebrow/general eye) - they both can’t tell that it’s indirect eye contact and it’s easier to let my body auto pilot focus
Hardware stores might have cheap gel knee pads ($10 -> $40 for fancier ones)
There’s also these kneeling mats / pads
and there’s so many DIFFERENT purples! Lavender, fuchsia!
You’ve never used charcoal for a grill?
yea, crazy that you can raw-dog in Wildermyth. Did NOT expect that cutscene.
I think the people that spend their time focusing on this are really creepy. They freak out about something that genuinely isn’t an issue and demonize people who are just trying to live their lives. There are better things to focus on
See, I feel like this was written by a coder. WAY too accurately specific.
That’s cool. I had no idea there was a python variant for visual novels! https://www.renpy.org/
I know it’s a typo, but I like the idea of composting code. A lot of it is turning to shit and has gotten moldy, so the metaphor is apt. Gotta mix it up with some fresh stuff, and turn it around every so often and you’ll end up with gold if you can give it the proper time
Oh this dude makes good motorcycle videos.
Another unfun fact (dunno if it’s mentioned in the video) is that Teflon is a PFAS that is currently in our environment and ground water in harmful amounts, is definitely giving us cancer, and can’t be easily extracted or broken down :(
I hope we can go back to waxed coats and boots or something, soon.
edit:// the video does mention it. Cool video
