Can’t believe you would sink that low.

Not by those Dads

That makes so much sense. Explains why the same bug within like 100 mi.² is called a Slater, a pill bug, a roly-poly, a potato bug, an armadillo bug…

Any (consenting) hole’s a goal!

Do you have an app that does anything at a specific time or a fixed interval eg weekly? Eg. Remind you to go for a run, or prompts you to log an activity like timesheets?

Particularly any new apps or ones that need to access system time and/or date?

I recognise, not a one.

Fuck this is specifically brutal.

Still more appetizing than that coleslaw abomination I saw earlier this week.

Just for ease of use my process is: If FlightRadar24 = null then ADS-B.

Mario Kart 2⁶ over here!

I see you too are a master of quantum super-positioning. Until I spot you.

Might as well take up drinking…

I was thinking they may have a process like 3D metal sintering, using a laser to fuse powdered metal layers. In the very early days of that technology I saw a small polyhedra frame like a ball. The texture was very granulated and it felt like it would crumble if it you rubbed it between your fingers too roughly. But it was titanium and indeed a lot stronger than its appearance suggested.

This was (obviously) a very long time ago back when people were Frankensteining their own printers from components and off the shelf options were few and far between and prohibitively expensive. When the early adopters were losing their minds on the daily trying to calibrate, level and troubleshoot all the gribbles and gremlins. It was quite a deterrent to entering the hobby. I couldn’t imagine then that the technology would accelerate so quickly, to the point where a first time user can unbox, assemble and be printing accurate and tidy prints in under an hour.

Seeing what is happening with metal and glass printing these days is still blowing my mind. I love that we’re living in a time where there is so much interesting and fun stuff to discover and so much of it is being shared instead of hoarded.

A hotel in a mining town, one of a few contractors stay at when they can’t get accommodation on site. Mining town = lots of alcohol abuse = occasional fights and violence. They’re never well-appointed places, people always come and go with filthy clothes and boots from site so there’s a level of dirt that could never be cleaned. Didn’t care too much about that if the sheets and towels were clean, but the room was on the outside facing the main road and the door frame was recently (and very poorly) repaired after someone very clearly had booted the door in. Slept with the tool bag open by the bed in case the owner of said boots didn’t get the message that the prior occupant had left town.

Only that guy could make a special forces emblem look like a butt plug.

I too love Good Will Hunting

I’m thinking as well that there’d have to be a significant number of crashes where it’s just the driver in the car (also a chunk of those where there isn’t another car involved). I’d be interested in knowing the # of occupants, and single vehicle stats given Waymo is removing the driver from that equation. I’m not sure it would change anything and I don’t think the data is being misrepresented - just curious if it would inform my perspective at all.

Comparing Waymo to taxi/uber services would be a direct comparison I’d like to see.

I think Mallrats is very in this vein - just more PG than Clerks.

Yah, I think we’re on the same page. We’re all a product of our experiences and recent context probably informs how we all interpret posts like this.

Not sure I follow this line of thought. I honestly didn’t think of anything nefarious - just someone who was privy to a situation or piece of information that they hadn’t been instructed to keep quiet. I’ve had that exact thing happen to me so many times where someone mentioned something that happened conversationally and then the official line was something different. No reason to make waves or bring it up - just initiates some curiosity/wariness.
