That's your fault for having your own RAM on your own device instead of renting VRAM from cloud services!

(/s, in case anyone didn't pick up on it...)

Lumisal beat you to it, sorry buddy

Yes, it was a latin v

You still need to seal out the ghosts who fart mold spores

Oh, I see. The atoms are representing the vertices, of which the octahedron has 6. (Oddly enough, the hexahedron has 8 vertices...)

That makes a lot more sense. For some reason I was thinking in terms of faces, but that wouldn't make much sense molecularly...

I don't mean to contradict you because I'm on your side here, but do you mean a hexahedral molecule? Cubes have six faces. An octahedron looks like two pyramids placed base-to-base

Quartz has an octagonal crystal structure, which is the only thing distinguishing it from regular glass. Both are silicon dioxide.

If you melt quartz and let it cool, it will just be regular glass with an amorphous crystal structure. Conversely, if you melt glass and mix in some ground quartz, it will crystalize around the pattern and become quartz.

Selenite has a very straight crystal structure. It can even splinter.

Yeah, this is them closing holes in their blocking browser access over a VPN. And also tracking their users so they can sell data to advertisers.

Just all of them. Write a python script to download one for every entry on distrowatch 🤤
