Oh hi, this is me too. Since 1.0alpha ;)

Must be Canada. They’re sort of threading the legal loopholes for drug advertising

“Perfect is the enemy of good enough” is one of my favourites.

Windows tinted effectively black, giant wing, and a plate cover they think makes them immune to cameras. Total douche canoe.

Bought my 2006 Toyota Matrix during COVID form $7k (Canadian – approx $5k US). Damn, this thing will run forever.

It’s also a really fun example of operator overloading. __div__ is overloaded to allow this syntax.

>>> p = PurePath('/etc')    
>>> p    
PurePosixPath('/etc')    
>>> p / 'init.d' / 'apache2'    
PurePosixPath('/etc/init.d/apache2')    

That’s not a lot. Three to five F35 equivalents, depending on configuration.

Sreaming “weeeeeeeee!” the whole time, occasionally pausing to catch his breath. Those close enough to hear him wheezing can hear “hillary’s emails” under his attempts to exhale.

It’s too bad we don’t have details about the other company involved that they were targeting. Seems like the sort of thing that could rapidly escalated – blinding all of your competitors birds on purpose. If those birds are in Geosynch, you don’t even need to be in the country to do it – just same longitude, approximately.

Return of the K-car!

Good for gaming, good for linux, good for a lot of the other open source projects involved. It’s so close to being critical mass :)

Only if your hockey players play for our national team.

Checkpoints will now included everyone having to pee on this stick. Yeah, it looks like a COVID test, but making you get those tests in insane fascist government overreach, but these other tests are totally legitimate.

Definitely absurd. But if you were a sci fi author trying to make a consistent world building thing, it would actually be a useful video.

… I see you Neal Stephenson, hiding behind the couch.

He doesn’t. He is lower density after transformation. Basically inflated. Also, he doubles as a life raft.

Pool. Floating dock. Strapped on scissor lift. Definitely in the SOP binder ;)

This is definitely unstable – a lever arm that long is going to sway like hell.

Additionally, normally when working at heights you should be harnessed and clipped on. But if this thing tips over, you’d spend precious moments trying to unclip while underwater. A conundrum to be sure.

Their website speaks corporatese. Not immediately clear what their business model is.

Because no one does any actual engineering in space. At best you’re a technician running other people’s projects; at worst, you have to MacGyver something. But every ISS crew needs a medical specialist on it, and a backup specialist in case they need to work on their medical specialist. So it gives you the highest odds.

Now if you wanted to work at JPL designing probes, that’s a different story. But you’re not going to space.
