It’s a scenic railway, so it’s antique train cars that serve dinner, sight see, or recreate the Polar Express for kids in the winter.

It might do 50kph (about 30mph) briefly, but mostly just puffs along at half that.

Enablers are bad, yes, but invading aggressors are worse.

Your comment reads like “both sides” Russian propaganda.

Jim Crow and the KKK maybe. There’s always a backlash when civil rights are gained.

We’re living through one right now. I hope we make it.

The proof is sort of in the lifespan of the milk.

I haven’t noticed it going bad sooner yet. It’s possible that other adulterants start showing up, but there are still lawyers that can sue companies if they find them fucking around.

That said we need to kick the fucker who are enabling this shit, out of the government ASAP.

We put out nog and cookies for Santa (me I’m the dad now) and carrots for the reindeer.

Worked in tech for 18 years, now I fix rust old cars and try not to touch computers beyond looking up wiring diagrams and replacement parts.

I used to write html, JS, and CSS on long flights and saw some side eye looks, but then I’d have to test load the website I was working on for mom jeans and the jig was up.

The weather in New England and upper New York is very much like German weather, and sometimes worse. We’ve had snow on the grounds since the 30th of November and it’s only barely reached 0C in the last week.

It was -15C a couple nights ago at roughly the latitude of Rome, next to the ocean too. And only about 50km northwest (inland) it went down to -25C.

This has been a colder December than average for the last decade, but we have mountains that regularly get meters of snow each winter, and they are way lower elevation than the alps too. Also as we all know the last decade has been stoopid warm.

Mt Washington has measured the highest wind speed in the world.

I used to use ORMs because they made switching between local dev DBs ( like SQLLite, or Postgres) and production DBs usually painless. Especially for Ruby/Sinatra/Rails since we were writing the model queries in another abstraction. It meant we didn’t have to think as much about joins and all that stuff. Until the performance went to shit and you had to work out why.

Or just building a straight close of your idea and crushing you. Happened to my startup.

Even then it would be most likely seeded by a probe from so distant that they’d never be able to travel here. Think Voyager probe, but maybe faster. If we’d sent one with a bio seed package and sent it right at the best life supporting planet we could find it’s still gonna be 10s or 100s of thousands of years before it even arrives, then a couple hundred million years for anything to evolve there.

It would be sorta hilarious if we were a distant science experiment though.

I’ve always used desoldering braid and patience. Always tinned first with 60/40 rosin core and some flux to get the heat flowing in faster and break the oxide layer.

Maybe finding a stand to hole the reflow gun above your work to free up a hand would help.

A good pcb clamp helps a lot too.

I haven’t been, but I thought the long hike limited the amount of visitors, or possibly tour ticketing as well.

I don’t think the matted grass is too bad considering that really any minor traffic in a limited area will compact the soil too much for grass to grow.

At least they have an erosion control in mind.

You mean like a Carriage. Where the term car came from?

And snakes hide in grass.

Pretty sure the Trump team would have plastered that all over the media if it had happened.

Good choice and those wheel weights aren’t too expensive either. Plus they stick in place. I’ve got a bunch left over from replacing rusty ones on my snow tires too!

One is a corgi and the other a Swedish Valhund. They are controlling our every move at this point.

Really though the 11 y/o corgi is in charge and the 1.5y/o Valhund is a maniac that just wants to play and run in circles with the 7 y/o kid. Utter chaos.

It’s like an acid response for her that causes her throat to swell. Not quite an allergy but feels similar to one i guess (she has a strong pine nuts allergy that she carries an EpiPen for).
