This made me realize, I often see things about the invention of the printing press, but I know almost nothing about how color printing was developed. I’m sure it was obvious that early on that different colors could be used, I believe basically what is called spot color today, but I’d be far more curious about the development of process color to reproduce a full color spectrum.

My university advisor pranked me into taking a senior-level class on color theory from the college of art & design, which was interesting and an insane amount of work. The professor might have gone into it some but the main thing I remember was the way they used to use grid screens at different angles to make sure the different colors landed next to each other on the page and not on top of each other.

I thought that usually used yellow

Rarely; I think the last time was a live CD to try Linux on an older computer

I’ve been feeling over the past few years that the increasing removal of human interaction from our lives, including random conversations in real life, has made it easier for people to be more divided and view strangers as an “other” instead of a fellow human.

On the one hand, I understand the manufacturing appeal. On the other hand, this is how we get to crap like subscriptions for physical features in your car, like heated seats. I don’t want automakers taking the hardware I bought hostage.

I feel like those are going to get a lot more expensive from people customizing them, potentially like Jeeps, maybe even more with all the factory options

I’ve long assumed a hybrid would be better for long haul trucking. Diesel has plenty of torque for starting moving but I’m guessing electric would still be more efficient and reduce pollution. Keep the diesel running more at a steady speed for the highway and some charging of the battery, use the electric for low speed work and acceleration. Probably not that simple, though.

I feel like it would need to be some relatively early show that has maintained a degree of popularity. Maybe an early cartoon that was seen as appropriate kid’s programming, like The Flintstones or The Jetsons.

So this is the strategy of putting 4 houses on your properties in Monopoly and never upgrading them to hotels because that way there are no houses for your opponents to buy

I sure thought new albums came out on Tuesday when I was in high school and college, around the turn of the millennium. Am I misremembering that or did it change at some point?

Is that an albino kiwi?

Iceberg or wave for me, thanks

I’m assuming it’s for the employees on the drive-thru; they’re already wearing headsets

If they’re wearing headsets I’m assuming it’s for the employees working the drive-thru

So in Germany one often has to move out of Harms’s way?

The Roman senate didn’t have chairs?
