  • The nazis modeled a lot of their Reich on the Roman state (the eagle iconography was used by both). The Roman salute was just something else they took from their idea of the Roman empire

    So I’m with you, I have no idea how “it’s a roman salute” is supposed to make anything better








  • Made me look at the calendar, I thought I had been in a coma for a few days!

    … It is Wednesday, right?

    I’m out of town and didn’t think a lot about which game to bring, so I just started a second playthrough of Pokémon Scarlet with only flying type Pokémon. I didn’t even like the first playthrough that much, but I had wanted to do a monotype run of any game one day, and this one was right here, so here I am. It’s ok I guess.











  • I’ve always used Al and Au in mine but I’m in a research institute and so I can’t speak for what people use in real cameras, but it does appear that Ag is somewhat used in wire bonding, so you can be right!

    But every element is pure, so it doesn’t make a lot of sense.

    Was this purity in the sense of “absence of impurities” or “absence of evil”? Because if it’s the latter I’m pretty sure I’ve met a few Si wafers with evil agendas.


  • Not an expert, but CMOS sensors (which are the ones used in cameras? I think?) do not use silver, do they? It’s practically all silicon. (CMOS = Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, where the semiconductor is Si, the metal is Al or more recently Poly-Si and the Oxide is SiO2 obtained by oxidizing the Si)

    Unless Si also prevents vampire images from being seen? Does vampire lore explicitly say that all materials were tested and only Silver has anti-vampire properties?

    I could be wrong on any of the info I just told you, even a cursory Google search can fail me.
