I liked them, but I like all of Reeses candies.

If I gave you one of these without telling you you’d be like “hey this is a really good peanut butter cup” probably without being able to pinpoint why. If you looked closely you’d be able to spot the liquid chocolate layer but it’s not obvious unless you look closely.

The chocolate is just slightly richer than the normal cups, they’re just really good Reese’s.

Equal airtime for the Caramel ones too?

Interesting. I used the open source literature clock database for mine.

It’s not possible to overstate how impressive this is.

That’s a spell being cast right there.

I’d never get anything done - I’d be reading it all the time!

Ok. I’ve tied the yo yo strings in knots. What was step two??

That’s incredible.

Huh this is neat, an in-camera effect I’ve never seen before.

@hansepe you’ll find this interesting.

You’re right! That’s one of those “I wish I’d thought of that” ideas.

Here is a resource that may be useful for some people. I might be the last person to know about it, but maybe not. :smiley: Sharing just in case it helps anyone.

There is a free version with basic tools. My daughter is using this at school I guess.

The free version has:

  • Text-to-speech: Reads individual words, passages, or entire documents aloud with dual-color highlighting.
  • Text and picture dictionaries: Provides definitions and displays images to help with word comprehension.
  • Vocabulary list: Creates an instant vocabulary list in a new document, including the words, their definitions, and images.

In case anyone wanted to know why I call my polyhedron projects “creatures”, radiolarians are why.

@evansd2 That would be a really cool model to 3D print. A coffee table conversation piece.

That’s not a model, that’s an electron microscope image of one of them.

As for 3-D printing, if you go looking there are projects where people have made 3-D printed radiolarians
