Call her Spanky Bobcat, call her Modern Bubsy or Trans Bubsy. I call her one of the best. She cracked so many eggs that we all was eatin omelettes for weeks. She was a character that is a trashy tran, by a trashy tran, for trashy transes. She got some folks to accept that they’re into trashy trans girls. Basically what I’m sayin is she had a good effect on so many folks, I’m constantly told so by others, n I’m sick of pretending otherwise. I say this in the best way possible - suck her fat undead transgender cartoon bobcat toes, all you lil freaks out there. Hell yea.
3D-printed clay tiles designed to restore coral reefs
Architects and marine scientists at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have jointly developed a novel method for coral restoration making use of specially designed 3D printed artificial ‘reef tiles’ for attachment by corals to enhance their chance of survival in the Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park in Hong Kong waters.
The artificial reef tiles are specially designed to aid coral restoration by providing a structurally complex foundation for coral attachment and to prevent sedimentation, one of the major threats to corals. They provide anchors for corals of opportunity, i.e. dislodged coral fragments that are unlikely to survive on their own, giving them a second chance to thrive.
The 128 pieces of reef tile with a diameter of 600mm were printed through a robotic 3D clay printing method with generic terracotta clay and then fired at 1125 degrees Celsius. The design was inspired by the patterns typical to corals and integrated several performative aspects addressing the specific conditions in Hong Kong waters.In addition to the novel design of the tiles, the materials used are more eco-friendly than the conventional use of concrete and metal. The tiles were printed in clay and then hardened to terracotta (ceramic) in a kiln. The team plans to expand their collaboration to new designs with additional functions for seabed restoration in the region.

Sorry, I could never be a capitalist, I suffer from “wanting humans to have their basic needs met” disorder, where I care about people who aren’t me.
Someone once asked me if, assuming we got universal healthcare, I would be okay with the rise in “healthcare tourism” where people who are sick come to our country to get their medical bills taken care of and life-saving medical treatment cheaper than in their home countries.
I was just like, yeah thats fine, I’d actually prefer it if 0 people died from preventable causes kept behind a paywall for no reason.
“even the addicts?” yeah dude did i fucking stutter
This scene will forever leave the biggest impression on me
Thank you so much. I adore when this crosses my dash.
I have watched this clip every time it crosses my dash; probably a few times a year since it was released.
One day I’ll actually watch the film itself.
he even saved the fish 😭
literally the only good scene in age of apocalypse
i would have no problem with so many comic book movies if they were actually shot like comic books instead of two men in a brown sludge wasteland growling at each other for four hours
