Any corundum without trace elements is colorless. Corundum with trace chemical impurities makes the gems we know. Chromium gives the red to rubies, sapphire has iron and titanium, you can get other colors using vanadium or different ratios. Gems are neat.

Types of corundum maybe but I think that’s a stretch. Sapphire is (usually) blue Al2O3. Ruby is red Al2O3. Transparent aluminum is Al2O27N5.

Scotty would be proud.

Same for me. 650 hours in I’ve got the platinum trophy and golden dice and I started a new character yesterday (gith paladin) because there is still stuff i havent seen.

I’m guessing it’s Lady Ballers since someone else mentioned it was pinned on IPT and I looked up all the movies to see if any were controversial. Here is a quote from newsweek about Lady Ballers:

Yeah, pigs don’t like to be corrected. Or made to look like they don’t know what they’re doing.

Those plates are replaceable plus this looks cool.

Plus for those few occasions when you need to search Wikipedia it’s like a swipe and a tap to re-enable Wi-Fi.

If you want to really sound like a spanish speaker say it like hijueputas. In english I’d transcibe it like ee-hway-POO-tahs. It sounds way more rude like that.

This study considers me monolingual since I never learned my second language in a classroom and. I learned it as an adult. So…I guess fluency doesn’t count. Que grosero.

The delay also does not trigger just once; it is reportedly triggered every time YouTube links are opened in a new tab.

This part got me yesterday as I was listening to music. I loaded a new video in a tab and the other tab waited 5 seconds. I thought I had paused it or something but nope, every time you load a new tab it delays all the other tabs by 5 seconds.

Hilarious is one word I wouldn’t use to describe a company offloading their AI training to users.
