So, have you considered a large jar screw top jar?
Maybe even a bear-proof canister?
I’m hopping the answer is yes and that you share horror stories,
Itty Bitty Boop sounds like it could be a hit.
Unfortunately, I suck at this sort of thing so that’s as far as I got.
Can I make a request that it follows K2-S0?
That clanker saved rogue one from being complete trash. (That, and everybody dying.)
Honestly, you assume that a) the events are transcribed as they happened, b) that the people writing the letters and what have you that comprised the “books” weren’t just making shit up and c) that Jesus himself wasn’t a Joel Osteen-esque grifter holding his hand out telling rich dudes to give him all their wealth with a cheesy grin.
Most likely he had more in common with Osteen or Joseph Smith or Ron Hubbard than he did with some one who was actually socialist. He was, after all, purported to be a Jewish mystic and faith healer.
which do you think is more likely: it was all a grift or that he somehow managed to do all those miracles he’s ascribed? And all those disciples doing miracles too…. (And yet no one today can? Even though they realllllly believe?)
it would be very tempting to me, to turn the car over to the slowmow guys for general slow-motion abuse.
unless I could convince mythbusters to get back together for something fun.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one with an overly active imagination!
The primary strength of the federation wasn’t that it’s technologically advanced- rather that it was relatively technologically adaptable.
It was that adaptable nature that allowed Janeway et all to defeat the borg (and everybody else.)
I subscribe to the theory that the reason Q screwed around with humanity as much as he did was to push them towards being able to defeat the borg- throwing them at the cube let them see what they were up against and begin preparing before the borg were on the federation’s doorstep.
As for humanity in particular, I suspect it’s because the federation is unique in that, as seven of nine said, a collective of many voices in harmony. (More or less.)
It’s a lot of diverse worlds working together, without there being some controlling force (like the borg’s hive mind, or the Dominion’s founders,) keeping everything from flying apart.
This diversity of thought was its real strength, and it was humanity that laid the foundation for it. (Because off course we did.)
I always find it amusing how supposedly pacifist Starfleet ships could take on their counterparts two to four on one and still come out winning on a routine basis, despite Klingons being both an older race and vastly more violent.
Them and Romulans. And borg. And the species that were kicking the borg’s ass.
I stand by my assumption that it’s all based on who gives the best blowjob.
i mean he advertised on social media.
As if the feds weren't all over that.
Gonna replace Noem. She only killed one dog.
So, Peter at the gates comes from a more or less literal interpretation from the passage where Jesus was making Peter the first pope. “To you I hand the keys to the kingdom of heaven….”
What Jesus was saying is that Peter got to decide who was in the Blood Ritual Cannibal Club,
Keep in mind, the books were written well after Jesus died, and the scriptures weren’t canonized until 300 years later; at the council of Nicaea- which was called specifically to “unify” the church. A lot of the choices about what was canon or not was specifically made to protect the bulk of the bishop’s authority (by drawing a straight lineage of succession from Peter.)
oh, i was saying musk's money.
I’m thinking it’s trying to say:
(2/6) + (1/6) = (3/6) = (4/6) - (1/6)
But either in “colloquial English for those who want to give other people aneurysms” or “colloquial English for those trying to sound smarter but aren’t”
Basically that the degree of difference between a half and a third is the same degree of difference between a half and two thirds- and that degree of difference is “one part”.
i really love the video floating around of a guy laying down in the elevator with his good pupper (maybe this one?) in a spider costume as people try to get on. (of course, the dog is doing normal dog things when their people get on the floor. hilarious.)
but... I don't want to save the world from red pandas.
I want to leave, and dying from cuteness overload sounds like not such a bad way to go.
Granted, I was going to slap it onto one of my parent’s shiny kitchen appliances and make jokes about it being a mistake to let them have WiFi…. But still…..

Saw this going to a friend’s house- they bagged the fire hydrants….one thought was snow; but this is the first year apparently. And snow has been a mild issue this year compared to most.
Gotta ask, what kinda candy was she making? Soft crack. Hard crack. Pot….
Even has the donuts on there for, you know, dealing with the munchies.
Okay, so I was making chicken soup from stock I had made using a (lightly,) browned carcus and neck. just before dumping the the dumplings into it, the stock's color was a nice light brown. I added about 1/4 cup of lemon juice, turned my back for 30 seconds after a stir and it turned it an almost milky-off white. Eventually it deepened to this:
It's delicious, and tastes as expected, I'm just curious as to what happened in the broth's chemistry?
Seasoned with salt (duh), a sprig of thyme, some ginger and garlic, (just a hint of ginger,) black pepper, lemon zest (which was added with the torn chicken,) and white wine deglazed the pot from browning the dark meat.
The stock was from garlic, onion, celery, carrot and maybe ginger scraps cooked with the chicken carcass..
Due to reasons... I've "adopted" a CR10s that a friend had bought. It was used, and was already well on it's way to being a janky Printer of Theseus. My hope is to get it up and running and put through it's paces before the holidays so I can give it back as a gift.
With the linear rail upgrades, I picked up the hardware and it's on it's way; which got me looking at how to do the upgrade, which I have mostly figured out; the question I'm having is, most upgrades seem to place the rails on 2020 extrusions sitting on top of the base frame- same as how the original y axis 2040's were designed.
Which raises the question- why not lower it so the 2020 rails are even with the frame, with the mgn12 rail sitting on top? Like so:
The short answer I came to is this would necessitate replacing the brackets for the y stepper motor and it's idler; but it should be possible. the easiest solution would be something like:
which raises the question: are printed parts rigid enough to hold against the tension on the belts? The motors can't handle too much tension anyhow, and the printer already has the screw-cap tensioners for x and y printed that seem to have been holding up well.
has anybody replaced the OG metal bracket on the back? does it stress and need replacing often, or is it fairly reliable (and above all, consistent,)
I mean, like incompetent. For the record those organs I just stole? literally on the desk in front of him. Time to hike on over and sell it. To the Trade Authority.... all 20 feet away...
(this was in the UC security in the Well, new atlantis)
Which do you use and why? Which one gets it cleaner. If it matters we have “real” winters here, meaning snow cruft and salt that absolutely must be removed.
Edit to clarify: I’m talking about a choice in automated car washes- not hand washing cars. Seems people are getting confused. Touchless is a few passes with a pressure washer. Soft touch adds spinning car-wash brush things.
Lockouts save lives
Usually idiots, but sometimes we’re all idiots.
Okay, so, with structural modules- specifically the cowl/belly/hull modules you can slap in... aside from the trivial gains to hull, are they basically just for attachment points/decoration?
could i protect things that can be targeted- the weapons, shields, engines, and grav drive- by placing 'under' hull components? or does that just not matter?
