I feel like digital billboards have made stuff like this less fun, if only slightly. The investment and energy required to pay for people to climb way the fuck up on a billboard and paint or glue or stretch, or whatever the fuck people actually do with “normal” billboards makes it all feel a little more delightfully unhinged.
Due to JPEGification, I’m only about 75% sure this is a digital billboard, now that I think about it.
Britons will be urged to stockpile tinned food, batteries and bottled water under a new campaign launched by the UK government to encourage the public to prepare for emergencies....
If there’s some there there, it’s that between Brexit, global warming (specifically affecting Europe’s scientifically complex combination of high latitude and mild temps), and war on the continent, Britons might be more subject to disasters and shortages than in recent decades.
They don’t blow off your fingers. They do hurt like a motherfucker and leave you with a first degree burn and the gunpowder equivalent of a henna tattoo.
I was checking to see how a 3/4" dog hole would look in a vise jaw made from two 3/4" pieces of plywood. Just clamped for the test, but would be glue for the real thing. Interesting to see the hole opened up. And luckily no splitting, but do you think it would work as an actual vise jaw? This is for a Veritas quick release front...
Paul Sellers has been known to use plywood jaws in years past, but he is using some nice stuff with a lot of void-free plies, and he is not putting dogholes in it. Honestly, though, even the material you have there, if laminated to 1.5" and with just one or two 3/4" dog holes, it should work pretty well and would be easy to replace. If you are on a budget but want to do hardwood, this is a perfect job for red oak.
So, mens rea gets slightly misunderstood a lot, especially with more white-collar stuff. Generally, you don’t have to know that you were violating the law, just that were doing the action that happens to be against the law, at least for the basic fraud laws in question here.
The election interference part is murkier, and really all you have to do to avoid charges under the traditional federal interpretation of the federal statute is to claim ignorance; it’s one of the weird exceptions and has basically rendered federal criminal prosecutions for campaign finance violations as a charming hypothetical, except when committed by campaign managers with law degrees. There is a revised standard that says you don’t have to know the law inside and out, just that generally this sort of thing is not allowed, but that is untested.
There is NY election law that could be held to a lower, more traditional standard, and while itself a misdemeanor, it could be enough to trigger the felony standard. Overall, it is probably the weakest part of the prosecution’s case, but the prosecution would say that falsifying the records to make sure that Trump got elected is enough.
My favorite is always going to be that first segment. You know they told him he should speak to the camera, and by god he was gonna do it right, even while oh so agilely wailing on that dresser, sending at least two pieces of it flying into the air.
Very solid and mature parametric modeler, and if your workflow doesn’t rely on booleans too much, the hobbyist version is generally under $200 for a perpetual license.
Funny. This doesn’t look like a roadside stand in Neuvo Progreso, Mexico selling elote en vaso and badly cammed copies of Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.
Geese must be so pissed off at their ancestors for evolving away from teeth, like when you accidentally navigate away from that smart, insightful, humorous comment and it disappears. “FUCK! Now I have to completely start over and it’s never gonna be as good.”
Now the meta question is, is this version 1 or 2 of my gooseteeth comment?
Luke Skywalker had a weird wife named Mara Jade who was a femme fatal ex-Sith assassin with a purple lightsaber.

the type of earwax you have comes down in part to your skin type, Dr. Shapiro explains. People with oilier skin may have wet earwax, while those with drier skin tend to have dry earwax, she says....
And yeah, that’s nasty. I had to get my earwax flushed out once. It was unpleasant and super gross, and I’ve used the specialized peroxide solutions a couple of times in the years since. My wife has the dry wax gene, and finds wet wax both gross and confusing.
The only thing I’ll add is that having used a cheap camera earwax cleaner, the magnification makes every normal little waxbooger look like a Star Trek brain slug, so while still dramatic (don’t get me wrong), the videos always look just a touch more dramatic than they really are.
Yup. Big-ass syringe full of warm water, possibly with some solution in it (I don’t recall that part). It was affecting my hearing in one ear, and the flush fixed it right up.
So Hubble has 10 useful years left in its current orbit. I say let the private spaceflight tech bro give it a try… in nine years.
The article goes into a lot of good detail about why it might not make sense to let a Friend of Musk pop on up with an undertrained crew and an under-specced spacecraft and try to bolt on some aftermarket hardware.
Yup. I don’t doubt he has a lot of confidence in his entire team, but NASA really come off as the adults in the room here. “Move fast and break things” only works if it’s easy to fix or replace them or if no one would miss them. Hubble is a useful scientific instrument and would be ungodly expensive and involve not-insignificant danger to replace, so I can completely understand if they ultimately decide it’s not worth risking 5-10 more years of data on the hope that his wanting to play-act Starfleet includes the boring preparation parts.
It earns a lot of grace with me for its heart, and I also can’t help but be entranced by the neverending meta-drama of the writers and producers trying to figure out what they want it to be and committing to absolutely nothing for more than a season.
LD pulls a bit of The Orville bait-and-switch where the humor never goes away, but there’s clearly Star Trek bones under there and over the course of the first season it commits more to that than to being an anarchic romp. Frankly, while I enjoy both, I like LD a lot more than the Orville, which has some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen on network television, tends to resolve most (though not all) moral dilemmas by just aggressively picking a side, and cannot escape Seth MacFarlane’s obsession with American pop culture, circa 1950-2000.
If you have extended universe stuff, that’s lovely. If you reference it, that’s fine. If you rely on it, that’s troubling. If I only learn about it because I had to google WTF was happening and whether I’d completely missed an episode, that’s bad.
