nymnympseudonym@lemmy.worldto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK There's a campaign to replace the distorted Mercator world map with the fairer Equal-Earth projection182·8 hours agoDYMAXION MAP OR GTFO
EDIT: details
It has less distortion of relative size of areas, most notably when compared to the Mercator projection; and less distortion of shapes of areas, notably when compared to the Gall–Peters projection. Other compromise projections attempt a similar trade-off.
More unusually, the Dymaxion map does not have any “right way up”. Fuller argued that in the universe there is no “up” and “down”, or “north” and “south”: only “in” and “out”.[9] Gravitational forces of the stars and planets created “in”, meaning “towards the gravitational center”, and “out”, meaning “away from the gravitational center”. He attributed the north-up-superior/south-down-inferior presentation of most other world maps to cultural bias.

Built my kids a game box using Batocera Linux and ROMs from the 80s and 90s (Atari2600, Intellivision, Colecovision, etc)
I was thereby able to show them the True Magic and Wonder of Computers

I just now searched NYT product reviews for “bone conducting headphones”
We recommend the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 headphones for runners who want to hear their surroundings.1They offer a comfortable design that leaves your ears uncovered, producing more bass and less vibration than other bone-conduction headphones.1The hybrid design handles bass effectively, and may change your mind if you’ve disliked bone-conduction headphones in the past.1For swimmers, we recommend the Shokz OpenSwim Pro headphones, which have a built-in MP3 player and use bone-conduction technology for clearer sound underwater.2They’re also comfortable for extended wear and surprisingly stable during swimming.2Another option is the Philips Go TAA7607, which offers similar performance to the Shokz OpenRun but includes a red LED strip for visibility during dusk training.1
nymnympseudonym@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's something incredibly useful you can buy for roughly £100 or less?30·1 day ago£100 is roughly the price point for mid-range bone conducting, outside-the-ear headphones. These rest against the bone next to the ear instead of inside the ear itself. You can get lower end options for more like £45
I cannot recommend these strongly enough!
- Your ear canal is open to the air, not plugged up for hours
- You can still hear your environment, great for biking/walking/running/not getting snuck up on
then it would get visited more often

Thank you for the proper link and info, and apologies for the confusion.
