“Yup. It’s wood aright”
Could be bamboo.
Well, it’s not so easy nowadays after all the R&D that went into imitations.
yep, it’s wood
Maybe it’s a bird.
Maybe it’s Maybelline
And this is going on my grindr picture folder… can’t wait to send this to Chesty Mcdickpic.
No. 1. The Larch
Aspen: you can tell it’s an aspen because of the way that it is.
im sorry but i cannot disassociate jack black with the Minecraft movie.
It’s an older meme, but it checks out.
Hot damn, you actually found it
The Pope’s favourite book.
if only the iceberg had this back in 1912
Ocean-going sailor here. Some people might be surprised how often some people have trouble avoiding huge ships. These days, we have modern systems such as AIS, Doppler radar, proximity alarms, and all can be integrated into autopilot. Yet there are still so many stories of near-misses with tankers, freighters, and container ships.
Meanwhile, I’m a sky-going pilot and I’ve never had much of a problem avoiding airliners. We’ve got these really cool guys called air traffic controllers that help us out with that. I love those guys, they do a great job.
There’s probably some simple trick they are missing. I never have any trouble getting hit by big ships, and I never even learned how to sail.
Step 1: don’t go on the ocean.
They are going so much faster than they seem to be going. And they’re YUGE
Yes but how just overlap is there between people who read books and have trouble a avoiding huge ships
My mind just played out a little skit.
in a library
Librarian is standing at the front desk, doing front desk things. A man enters, driipping wet, comic injuries such as a black eye, fake bandages etc, kelp draped around him. He walks in, looks at librarian meaningfully, stalks off into the library without a word. Stalks back up to the front desk, and presents this book and a library card.
That book is hilariously expensive now. Check eBay or Amazon, $150+.
If I saw that at a store I’d 100% pick it up.
Bc the book would be made of wood? 🪵
That card doesn’t give me much hope for AI designed PCBs. At least there isn’t a shortage of PCIe 1x pins though…
I hate to break it to ya, but that pictures from like 2010. And those are SLI connectors.

God damned Millenials don’t even know about Crossfire and SLI smh
Hey, I’m a millennial! I not only remember Crossfire and SLI, I still hold a grudge against Nvidia for killing 3dfx.
Still miss my first eBay purchase which was a voodoo2 12mb monster from late 98.
Sold an old motherboard a month earlier so it was basically free!
Does anyone have a pdf? I just happen to need this book.
Ask Anna!

Check your library system, that’s where I read it.
Wood you look at that.
Definitely pick up the sequel
Do you revere wood?
i do but my girlfriend definitely needs this book
sorry, cheap boomer humor. i don’t even have a girlfriend.
WOMEN! AM I RIGHT GUYS???
Who doesn’t?
I’d love more wood definetly.
In all seriousness though it’s actually worth a read. It’s fairly short too so it’s not a huge commitment
deleted by creator
How is that a sequel? It’s not even by the same author.
I once posted this picture in response to someone here on lemmy and they responded “I’ve got that book right behind me.” (Possibly paraphrased)
