    @molly0xfff hey molly - maybe a dumb question but where does this money actually go? I don't really understand how money gets spent to put an ad on TV and who takes a cut. does it go from the PACs to local TV networks? big broadcasting conglomerates?I'm aware i could google this, but maybe you have a post on it you could recommend?

    So, the new Firefly is a prequel. Or a midquel, between the end of Firefly and the beginning of Serenity. Which feels pointless, to me. Like, it's pre-spoiled.I get the urge to get fan favorite Alan Tudyk back as Wash, but...I'm just not interested in that story? At least not interested enough to watch a cartoon.I'd prefer it if they picked up right after Serenity. And, I'd love it if it was live action and picked up 20 years later. That's an interesting story that I'd watch.

    How to Grow Large Sugar CrystalsMany substances display crystallization, allowing them to keep adding to a basic shape to reach pretty humongous proportions. Although we usually tend to think of pretty stones that get fashioned into jewelry or put up for display, sugar also crystallizes and thus you can create pretty large sugar crystals. How to do this is demonstrated by [Chase] of Crystalverse fame in a recent video.This is effectively a follow-up to a 2022 blog article in which [Chase] showed a few ways to create pretty table sugar (sucrose) based crystals. In that article the growth of single sucrose crystals was attempted, but a few additional crystals got stuck to the main crystal so that it technically wasn’t a single crystal any more.With this new method coarse sugar is used both for seed crystals as well as for creating the syrupy liquid from mixing 100 mL of water with 225 grams of sugar. Starting a single crystal is attempted by using thin fishing wire in a small vessel with the syrup and some seed crystals, hoping that a crystal will lodge to said fishing wire.After a few attempts this works and from there the crystals can be suspended in the large jar with syrup to let them continue growing. It’s important to cover the jar during this period, as more crystals will form in the syrup over time, requiring occasional removal of these stray ones.Naturally this process takes a while, with a solid week required to get a sizeable crystal as in the video. After this the crystal is effectively just a very large version of the sugar crystals in that 1 kg bag from the supermarket, ergo it will dissolve again just as easily. If you want a more durable crystal that’s equally easy to grow, you can toss some vinegar and scrap copper together to create very pretty, albeit toxic, copper(II) acetate crystals.youtube.com/embed/shhJGp5h53Y?…hackaday.com/2026/03/17/how-to…
