Send me to Mars with party supplies before next august 5th

No guys you don’t understand.

The soil testing equipment on Curiosity makes a buzzing noise and the pitch of the noise changes depending on what part of an experiment Curiosity is performing, this is the way Curiosity sings to itself.

So some of the finest minds currently alive decided to take incredibly expensive important scientific equipment and mess with it until they worked out how to move in just the right way to sing Happy Birthday, then someone made a cake on Curiosity’s birthday and took it into Mission control so that a room full of brilliant scientists and engineers could throw a birthday party for a non-autonomous robot 225 million kilometres away and listen to it sing the first ever song sung on Mars*, which was Happy Birthday.

This isn’t a sad story, this a happy story about the ridiculousness of humans and the way we love things. We built a little robot and called it Curiosity and flung it into the star to go and explore places we can’t get to because it’s name is in our nature and then just because we could, we taught it how to sing.

That’s not sad, that’s awesome.

*this is different from the first song ever played on mars (Reach For The Stars by Will.I.Am) which happened the year before, singing is different from playing

This is humanity

Happy Birthday, Curiousity.

Happy birthday, Curiosity.

MY MAGNUM OPUS

POOL NOODLE AXOLOTLS

(and yes, they are lovers)

There have been many questions! So to answer your questions:

1: each axolotl is 4 pool noodles, each noodle was cut into 24 beads and then beveled individually because I’m an insane person. Each pool floaty also.uses about 50 feet of rope. I know this because I bought 100 feet of rope and cut it in two.

2: they float really well! I went to my local hardware store and bought buoyant rope (like the kind you’d string along swimming pools) and used that. My only regret is that I didn’t pull the tension tighter before I tied them off and burned the knot to seal it

3: the total time was about 2.5 hours to cut and bevel the beads and then 1.5 hours to string and tie them. Most of the stringing time was just me trying not to hogtie myself, and trying to keep the rope from tangling. It tangled anyway. A lot.

4: The style of bead art is called pony beads, so honestly if you have patience and enough pool noodles you should be able to make any pony bead design. My next one will be a penguin! But not until I’ve forgotten how monotonous it was to bevel all the individual beads.

i am not joking we need to force teach cooking in schools. like. it is an essential thing for survival. do you know how easy it is to make things if you know even the bare bones shit about how cooking works. we need to teach teenagers how far you can take an onion and some other veggies it’’s sad that people grow up not knowing how to prepare literally anything. and i’m not talking about oh this home ed class taught me how to make chicken nuggets at home i’m talking about learning the balancing of sweetness and acidity and saltiness and bitterness and shit like that and techniques and oil temperatures and how meats cook. it needs to be taught because it’s literally not even that difficult and it matters so much

i truly believe that knowing how to cook is a basic survival concept and the fact that so many people can’t even make simple dishes is depressing as hell this is the sorta thing that should be taught at a young age. being able to take the ingredients you have around your home and turn them into a meal is like, essential and will make life so much better. you don’t need to be a high end chef you just need to understand some things that can be easily taught… but then again maybe the education system is playing a roll against this and ultimately they want you to grow up to rely on mcdonalds for dinner. i don’t know. please learn how to cook for yourself if you’re able. i’m not asking you to hunt for specific ingredients to make some expensive youtuber’s “best” recipe but if you know the basics of cooking you can do a lot with cheap canned ingredients. cooking can be affordable i promise you just need to learn how to make do with what you can get

Can anyone point me towards resources that teach those basics cus I would LOVE to teach my child this stuff but i dont know how to cook

not comprehensive but heres some:

internet shaquille’s basics but especially:

• making rice
• making scrambled eggs
• making oatmeal
• levels of cooking meat
• using & storing vegetables with recipes in the description (this one has a bit of Sassiness directed at people who dont like vegetables but the content is solid)

food safety + a recipe to demonstrate

how to learn to cook (just a list of subtopics, no actual tips)

• cooking techniques playlist
• how to cut x

basics with babish s1 & 2, but particularly:

• freezer meals,
• weeknight meals,
• kitchen tools (although the specific suggestions are pretty expensive even with the lower end scale items the basic categories are solid, and you can evaluate what items you will realistcially need - eg. if you dont need to read temp for steaks etc the temp reader will not be relevant) &
• kitchen care (mid-high advanced home cooking)

basic knife skills

picking the right pan for each recipe

j. kenji lopez-alt’s tips and tricks playlist

egg recipes

a little more complicated, involved, and longer than any of the rest of these but good breakdown of flavor & how and why to use the basic seasoning/flavor profiles

and then recipe channels representing various cuisines:

• j. kenji lopez-alt (various)
• marion’s kitchen (southeast & east asian, western/asian fusion)
• maangchi (korean)
• future neighbor (mostly korean)
• the western supermarket playlist of chinese cooking demystified (more recipes available but these are accessible if you dont have “specialty” ingredients)
• family recipes playlist by made with lau (chinese)
• not another cooking show (various)
• cooking with boris (bear with me here i know he does it exaggeratedly humorously but a lot of them are actually solid and beginner cook friendly. mostly slavic/russian)
• you suck at cooking (also falls into the intentionally humorous category but most of the recipes are pretty solid anyway)
• how to cook that (baking, also does debunking videos of viral cooking hacks - breaks down the reasons the hacks dont work, pretty important to understand those basics imo)
• internet shaquille (various)
• babish culinary universe (various)
• i REFUSE to recommended joshua weissman because he is fucking insufferable but if you want you can try if you can deal with it, the techniques/recipes seem fine for the most part

again definitely not a comprehensive list but it touches on most of the basics
