Well that’s a gross new dog whistle to listen for.

“Freedom-loving couples” is shorthand for “oh shit I knocked up this ripe fertile child I was fucking, and I love freedom, so now I need to marty/own her instead of going to jail.”

Zink,

Of course I could see them put real life Cruella de Vil on the ticket.

The pussy hunter and the puppy slayer join forces at last!

Zink,

I don’t know if that’s a rule of thumb or not, but it certainly makes sense.

First, the world of reliability runs on data and math. Lots of statistics, of course.

And second, aircraft are over-engineered for safety margins on top of safety margins. The test data might say you need a part that’s X thickness of aluminum in order to be 99% sure to never fail in the field. So let’s just make it 3X thickness to be safe!

So from that standpoint, back to back failures should pretty much always draw a bunch of attention in this industry.

Zink,

🤌🏻

Zink,

This post & username combo has me in a state I can only describe as Terroroused.

Zink,

I’d say “women” in a professional setting, but among friends I don’t see it as an offensive thing. It’s just an informal or casual thing. I’m a guy, and the group of women often includes my wife. But it’s said in a friendly tone.

I think singular vs plural matters too. I would say “good night girls” to a couple of friends leaving, but not “good night girl” to one friend leaving.

Zink,

I agree with that amendment. It’s about context just as much as tone and intent.

Zink,

Sup, fellow XCHWM here. My first thought was to agree and say something about how people’s right to exist and live the life that is normal to them doesn’t depend on anybody understanding or approving it. And assuming it’s peaceful and all that. You know, decent human stuff.

But then I reread your last line and got saddened by imagining the mental state of JKR. Imagine you are not just rich, but an adored famous artist, an American Dream success story, and doubly mega fucking rich to the point that you could just walk around giving random people life-changing amounts of money all day while funding other big amazing shit… and your mind is distracted by anger and fear towards the existence of other people you don’t even know. And now your famous name is attached to that awful attribute.

Zink,

Irrelevant from the American perspective! People all over the world have access to the American dream!

/s for me. I capitalized it for extra snark. Totally not /s for others in this country though.

Zink,

There is no such thing as a truly “safe and stable” battery chemistry.

Is it even possible to have energy storage of any kind that is truly safe and stable? Some are better than others, of course.

Zink,

A couple decades ago I worked at a place that did power generation turbine controls.

One thing I worked on was a redundant sync check for connecting turbines to the grid. A turbine has to be brought up to speed, about 3600rpm in the US, before being connected to the grid. The sine wave coming out of the generator needs to match the sine wave on the grid.

If they are mismatched when the huge breaker closes, it’s not a shock or fire hazard, it’s an explosion hazard.

Zink,

The orbital one sounds interesting. That’s a lot of energy, and it could do a lot of damage, but it seems very stable if left untouched.

My gut suspicion is that with something more safe/stable, you would also be dealing with a low quality/potency source and/or low efficiency.

Zink,

It can mean a misfire too.

I had an old accord that basically lost a cylinder (blew a valve or something) but could still drive down the road with check engine blinking because that cylinder was “misfiring.”

It happened far away from home too. I drove several dozen miles with my unintentional 3 cylinder swap.

Zink,

I found out I could dual boot Linux at work and went right for Mint. I think it’s great. It’s a nice pragmatic choice for people like me who love using Linux and are constantly in a bash prompt, but who don’t want to build up a system from scratch and who are fine not running the very latest.

It’s even downstream from some of the most popular distros out there, but without Canonical’s controversial shit.

Zink,

I’m sure that happens frequently.

I want to learn about the sovcits on disability or receiving social security, lol.

Zink,

Forget the Facebook rage. Hit up YouTube or your favorite more free alternative and you can watch amazingly confident sovcit nitwits square up against cops and judges.

Zink,

I’ll take the civilized society please. Unfortunately I seem to be surrounded by people who think they’re the badass, and they advocate for their ideal Wild West shoot first world from the comfort of their suburban home.

Zink,

Ok but imagine if Microsoft got altruistic and made the Windows store to be as helpful as possible and not as a marketing or user control scheme. That’s the package manager in Linux.

Zink,

Spoiler: when they let you know about the better device, your phone will already be much better at the same client-side processing anyway.

Zink,

Ok you guys, this is too silly. I’m not buying it any more. You can let me out of the simulation now.

Zink,

We have a lot of serious problems in the US to say the least, but to assert it cannot get any worse seems like such a naive privileged thing to say.

We have to keep working to improve things, but there are so many ways things could go way, way worse then they are now.

Zink,

Sounds like it is more correct to refer to it as GOOG/Linux

Whistleblower Josh Dean of Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems has died (www.seattletimes.com)

Joshua Dean, a former quality auditor at Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems and one of the first whistleblowers to allege Spirit leadership had ignored manufacturing defects on the 737 MAX, died Tuesday morning after a struggle with a sudden, fast-spreading infection....

Zink,

Unfortunately there has been a post + username tragedy. They already got to that maggoty user.

Zink,

Oh I think it’s all going how it was intended. Just not going according to the public justification.
