🖌 How to Create a Gelli Plate Monotype with Your Own Photo:

1. Apply Acrylic Paint: Spread a smooth, thin layer on the Gelli plate using a brayer.
2. Place Your Image: Lay your laser-printed photo face-down on the plate and press gently for solid contact.
3. Transfer the Image: Use a brayer or your fingertips to apply even pressure for a flawless transfer.
4. Peel and Reveal: Carefully lift the photo to reveal your image on the plate.
5. Reverse Painting: Add one or more layers of acrylic paint, letting each layer dry completely.
6. Pick-Up Layer: Apply paint or gel medium evenly, press Bristol board onto the plate, weigh it down with books, and let it dry for 20–30 minutes (or overnight).

The UNION and UNION ALL operators allow us to combine results, but there’s no guarantee that each set of results uses the same data types. So what data types are returned?…

Lazyweb, why doesn't this regexp match in Perl 5.32.1, 5.34.3 or 5.18.2 but does in PHP and JS: perl -le 'print 0 + ("ABCDE" =~ m/ABCF|BCDE|C(G)/);' Changing nearly any character, including the C before the G, or removing the parens, makes it match.

To achieve perfection, Di Maio’s group, aided by mathematical models, simulations and experiments, invented “periodic cooking,” a method that calls for starting an egg in a pan of boiling water, leaving it there for two minutes, transferring it to a bowl of tepid water at 86 degrees Fahrenheit for another two minutes, and repeating the cycle eight times.

It looks like 6 cycles (24 minutes) would be just as good, and 5 cycles (20 minutes) pretty close.

But it wasn’t just overegged fear of Mr. Putin’s nukes. The Biden and Trump administrations recognize the many ways Mr. Putin can make their lives difficult: cyberattacks, assassinations, sabotage, threats to undersea cables and now satellites. Russia can peddle ICBM technology to North Korea, submarine technology to China, antiship missiles to Iran, etc.

Willing the ends without willing the means is the happy prerogative of the pundit through the ages.

But no principle is advanced by making the perfect the enemy of the good. The reality principle defines every armistice ever concluded, including the many ugly ones you’re already thinking of.

Mr. Trump has a reputation for bold moves only in a relative sense: Politics makes all politicians risk-averse. They prefer small, reversible steps. They kick the can down the road whenever possible.

The special sounds and gestures made by infant bonobos also known as pygmy chimpanzees when they are tickled suggest that the origins of laughter may pre-date human evolution, according to a new report

Zimmerman believes that her findings confirm a hypothesis that laughter originated in primates, as a universal signal of wellbeing in a playful situation to help regulate social interactions, the report says.

A number of recent hypotheses have attempted to explain the ultimate evolutionary origins of laughter and humor. However, most of these have lacked breadth in their evolutionary frameworks while neglecting the empirical existence of two distinct types of laughter—Duchenne and non‐Duchenne—and the implications of this distinction for the evolution of laughter as a signal. Most of these hypotheses have also been proposed in relative isolation of each other and remain disjointed from the relevant empirical literature. Here we attempt to remedy these shortcomings through a synthesis of previous laughter and humor research followed by (i) a reevaluation of this research in light of theory and data from several relevant disciplines, and (ii) the proposal of a synthetic evolutionary

I'm just starting out with Clojure and I was trying to implement vim's keywordprg, which displays documentation for the word under the cursor. I want to call the doc() function on the value of a variable, but I'm not having any luck:

user=> (let [x "println"] (doc x))
-------------------------
user/x
nil

In Perl, I think I could use the eval() function, but I'm not seeing anything comparable in Clojure. Any suggestions? Thanks!

It all started back in 2019 before I was working at Skyscanner. I remember sitting in a cafe in Budapest reading the latest conversations online about the new brand update.

✅ Choose a night color that is slightly lighter than black.
✅ Your colors will need to appear on different backgrounds.
✅ Create color sets with transparency for such cases.
