if people think google is a bad search engine, clearly they've never tried to find a specific mod in the steam workshop for a popular game

my last post actually made me think; how prepared are you all?

as in,

• if you get a burn/cut/etc, where's your medkit?

• If there's a fire that needs extinguishing NOW, what's your fire extinguisher?
  (Everyone has one, i.e the thing you grab, and if that extinguisher causes hot oil explosions or short circuits then it's a shitty fire extinguisher.)

• If there's a nuclear incident, where're your iodine tablets? (okay maybe I'm a bit of a prepper but they won't do much for you 9h too late 🤔)

pro tip: if you put honey in the microwave for 10 seconds at 1kw, make sure that that's the appropriate amount of energy for the amount of honey leftover in the container

pro tip 2: when opening a bottle which just contained a boiling liquid, make sure you open it upward and aimed away from you, not downward, even if the honey container is made to be opened with the opening facing downwards

pro tip 3: zinc ointment is great for mild burns, make sure you have some at home before you need it

when you see a moot unfollowed you without any comment or anything leading up to it and you're left to wonder

• did I fuck up
• did they dislike a thing I said even though I put a content warning on it
• did their fediverse software bug out
• something else

dear dutch farmers: government regulations around nitrous oxides may be a pain, but realize that the south netherlands is currently MORE POLLUTED THAN FRICKIN NEW YORK, we are one of the most NO2 polluted areas in the entire fricking world, up par with South Africa, and I promise you it's NOT just the cars doing this

Reading into tuning cars, and slowly starting to get an idea of how it's done, and now I'm really tempted to buy a KESS v2 or KTAG or alike set to try and reprogram my ECU and see what I can get out of that little Twingo GT.

If I'm mistaken all you have to do is:

• Take the ECU out of the car
• Hook up the KESSv2/KTAG according to the pinouts you can find online
• Backup the current mappings
• Start editing the throttle/boost/injector/etc mappings
• watch with OBD2 tools and adjust accordingly🔧

I messed up, accidentally broke off the dumpvalve instead of nulling it. It's very null now, and very good at dumping. Tried to fix it with ducttape, but...

Same area but the hole has been wrapped with ducttape (poorly)

Have something cursed, because I beer'd my laptop and it made the keyboard sticky. I'm too lazy to take it apart entirely just to fix the keyboard, so I'm just dousing it in distilled water :drgn_3c_evil:

It'll be fine.. Probably. Likely. Hopefully. Only one way to find out and that's Science! :bongo:

Apparently 'the USA' (probably some republican?) sent this threat to the ICJ for trying to issue an arrest warrant for Netanyahu for their war crimes.

I have a feeling there's bits of zionists spread out across the globe, infiltrated into various govt institutions, pressuring and sending out these kinds of letters, pretending it's for the good of everyone but they just have the very specific agenda of letting Israel get away with whatever they want. Probably similar to Russian infiltration tbh

Oh yesss it's all coming together, dump valve nulled and induction system tightened up extra, now just install that fuel pump upgrade and I should have a whole bunch of torque and power extra

"What's on your mind?"
oh idk the commercial supercomputers at work are pretty crazy, 3.5+ exaflops & 1.2 exabytes of near-singular compute performance per superpod, many superpods per building, many buildings per site, dozens of sites, and they can all be connected to form a singular supercomputer as soon as someone decides to want it badly enough. What someone could do with zettaflops worth compute power in a singular cluster with terabits of planetary interconnect power? idk play god probably
