Used to be you could include a page with nothing on it. Now that everyone’s gone woke you have to let the world know the page is intentionally left blank

I saw one article where they said the machine has to stop its descent to do the acoustic structural measurements shit, and that they planned to pause and get readings every hour

Which sounds fucking crazy, that is nowhere near often enough I’d think. A fucking lot can change in an hour, and when the thing reaches its limit you know it’s not gonna be a “oh, we better deal with this soon”, but instead an essentially instantaneous rupture

I do know that actual non-failure engineering projects can use sounding hammers and acoustic shit like that to assess the structural soundness of tanks for fluids etc., in general it is a valid technique. But it looks like in this instance it was a pretty big flop

In the West, authorities have to create elaborate Rube Goldberg-style scams with CIA cutouts literally called “OceanGate” in order to curtail a single billionaire

Rockin that 9/11 truck banner, feels classic

These pictures do load slow

I guess we couldn’t do displayed comment images before, so that’s new

I didn’t realize that there was potentially a single gen other than 1 that people could coalesce around. I’ve played since 1 but get do get tired of seeing them, would definitely prefer a better mix.

Ironically, though, gens 5 and 6 are the only ones I’ve never had a physical copy of and am consequently the least familiar with them

We’ve got under sink 3-stage (not reverse osmosis) and it seems pretty decent. I’ve been meaning to get the regular tap vs filtered tap tested at a home improvement store, but it just hasn’t happened yet

I’ll also say that tapping a supply line for a water filter was my introduction to basic “around the house” casual plumbing, which is mostly fucking with shutoffs. I’d definitely recommend it for anyone interested

We did a few (edit: nine???) months ago, the kitten is now a full year old. Time flying…

Congrats on the kitten, cats are great

With advice like “steal shit on the way out”, are you sure you’re not a lawyer?

Incredibly online and liberal to take time out of a monster-based fantasy novel to talk about the voting habits of a niche demographic

Finally living out of the new place, spent last night here. Cats are still confined to the bedroom, and I’m beyond excited for them to see the rest of the place. Probably 3 more hours then you little goofs get free rein!!

They’re obsessed with the windows and birds

Fluids guy has the sigma grindset

I’ve been seeing more solar at work, I’m pleasantly surprised. ~100 MW max solar plants. These were generally planned 2-4 years ago, and I haven’t paid attention to how max compares to typical output.

No clue what they’re planning for 3-5 years from now, but it is just money that decides

DJ Screw, a way to listen to a ton of 90s west coast and southern rap on shuffle

Chapter 070 - Endonesia is especially solid IMO. The mixing/flow is amazing. The transition between 1st and 2nd songs kills me every time. Super smooth

That sucks. It really is fucked up how hard it is to make a living playing some music

Not the kinda thing headphones out of an amp can replicate, or is that not a thing?

It sucks ass but I hope you can do it

Yeah that’s impressively terrible, and not what I’d expect from NYT

Yeah I realized I should be commending whoever was supposed to proof but didn’t lol

I bet Jeffrey Tubin understands what the hell this means

Also the last sentence of the 2nd to last paragraph has a repeated-phrase typo, damn does nobody even proof this shit
