I honestly couldn’t care less about the actual rocks.

But pretty colors are pretty colors.

…

That’s literally my point.

I’m saying you can’t tell the difference between two materials unless they are cut the same.

If they are cut differently to achieve the results you are seeing, you can’t tell whether the difference is because of the cut, or because of the material.

Yes, but a clear crystal is a clear crystal.

If you want to split light you can do what regardless of refractive index (as long as it isn’t zero), you’d just need to cut different angles and/or project the light onto a surface that’s closer/farther to get the same effect using a different material.

That’s what I was immediately thinking.

Getting pretty colors out of a clear crystal is more about how it was cut, than what it’s made of.

Unless it’s something like opal that produces lightshows through completely different optical effects.

I’m asking about the light. The lightshow produced by a crystal is down to both the optical properties of the material, but also the geometry of how it was cut.

The image is really cool, but it only demonstrates a difference if the moissanite was cut into the exact same shape as the diamonds.

A prism doesn’t split light because of the material its made of, but because of its shape.

Is that a difference in the material, or is the Moissanite cut differently?

If Moissanaite just does that, then damn, that’s pretty.

You can actually deGoogle android.

You can’t really deApple iOS or macOS, or deMicrosoft Windows.

I’ve often felt that genuine politicians can’t possibly have it easy.

To even get started, step one is getting in bed with social media.

Both are perfectly serviceable, but for the self-hosted storage/office suite combo, Collabora simply fits into Nextcloud better. Which is likely why you don’t see OnlyOffice discussed much.

Collabora is just more integrated. The NC and Collabora developers actually directly collaborate on integrating it into NC as the “official” office suite.

And AFAIK the backend of Collabora is simply LibreOffice, meaning the “desktop” version is: LibreOffice. The UI is the same, too, though they might’ve diverged since I last used LibreOffice on desktop.

Personally I’m not really concerned with formats, as long as I can finish documents as PDFs, and Collabora has brought a google-drive-like experience to my nextcloud instance that OnlyOffice didn’t manage. Either way I was able to do a google takeout of my drive storage, and just plop that into my nextcloud. But with Collabora, actually interacting with the resulting files within the nextcloud UI has been nicer.

I guess by libre office you’re not referring to Collabora?

Collabora is the online version of Libre, and absolutely integrates with mobile, nextcloud, web browsers, collaboration, etc.

I initially used OnlyOffice with my Nextcloud instance, but switched to Collabora with my own CODE server once I realized it was MUCH more thoroughly integrated into nextcloud.

Any car tire.

For road bicycles 7 bar is just “normal”, 8 and above isn’t unheard of.

A guy once asked if I was crazy when I was pressurizing my hybrid bike to 6 bar, and I just pointed to the sidewall where the rating said 4.5-6.5 bar. The range is wide because the pressure you should use varies depending on what you weigh, and how you want to balance rolling resistance vs comfort.

And even then the safety margin on bike tires is more than double the max rating, so it’s perfectly safe to go a full bar over if you want.

That’s not the Yamato tho.

It’s the Andromeda, developed years after the human/gamilan war.

Cats will tell you when they want you to stop.

Most people don’t notice, but when you know, you just kinda know.

Also private equity.

I am.

How would a pedal that opens a door towards you work? Unless it’s like a handle for your foot?

Makes sense.

Is that a thing?

Feels like something door closers make irrelevant.

You’d think fire code would require exit always be push, because that makes evacuating smoother.

If you have a bunch of people wanting to go through a door, you do not want them the be pull.

Even while orderly, requiring a crowd to step back to provide the space for the doors to open is not ideal.

Haven’t seen that.

You can also push a door open with a foot as you take a step forward.

It’s trickier than using an elbow, as it involves the balancing act of putting your weight on the door, which will give way, before allowing your foot to actually land. Do it wrong or with a door that’s much lighter than you thought, and you fall over as you deliberately shift your weight off the one foot you’re still standing on :D

I initially started doing it to push open doors while holding stuff with my hands, but now I kinda just walk into doors and open them with a foot as I do.

You shouldn’t be touching any handles upon exiting a bathroom.

The door should be push to exit, so you can open it by pushing with your elbow.
