ALL. OF. THESE. THINGS.
YOU. ARE. ALL. AMAZING.
NEVER. LIMIT. YOURSELF.
This is all of the true. I need, like, a daily reminder of how true this is.

(TW: Ableism & Inspiration Porn)
{Image description: a young girl without arms or legs runs with a person without legs on prosthetics. A quote from Scott Hamilton reads, “The only disability in life is a bad attitude.”}
Not. Again. Okay, I know you probably didn’t mean it this way, but this is really really ableist because you’re invalidating our problems. We can’t do certain things, and it’s not because of our attitude. It’s because society and our disabilities suck. Okay?
Also, this is inspiration porn. From a very awesome person:
Certainly. My personal opinion is that this quote is an oppressive piece of garbage; even more so when it is coupled with a picture of some disabled person and neatly packaged as ‘inspiration porn’. It essentially dismisses the systematic oppression of people with disabilities and implies that anyone who has the audacity to voice their frustration on this matter should ‘shut the fuck up and stop complaining’.
It shames people for being rightfully upset with the way they are treated. Disability and society’s negative connotations of it won’t simply disappear because of a good attitude.

^^^ALL OF THIS!
While this may have just been made up, the reality is pretty strange as well.
Google is moving their servers into modular containers (basically boxcars or international shipping containers) and scattering them all around the world. This is mainly for security. They don’t want their whole network to go down if someone were able to take out a major data center.
They also have data redundancy to ensure that every search can be served from somewhere, even if a different server that has the info you’re looking for is busy or offline. The coolers are powered by 12 volt batteries which are both cheap and reliable. They don’t use top of the line processors and they use ordinary SATA hard drives. The whole set-up is remarkably low-tech (optimized for cost as they put it.)
Stunning. Like The Woman herself.
bloody hell!! this is awesome!!!
Is this a New Planet?
The answer to the title is NO. These images are from a project entitled “Devour” by Christopher Jonassen, which displays pictures of the bottom of worn-out frying pans.
