Dude I remember visiting the Caribbean, a car ran over one of these lengthwise and it was badly injured but alive.

Where the what the fuck??m

I actually got to play with a toucan once, their beaks aren’t very powerful, and they can be very friendly.

Very silly screechy little fellows.

100% this. Nevermind a VNA.

I’m masking and spray painting cameras. Cry about it, butterball.

Diala works great for… Cooking… Steaks. I don’t know where to go with that because of how nope it is.

Always fun stuff to work with, DI water or oil are great insulators, though one sucks to clean up if you spill it 😓

This saddens the hell out of me. I’m doing what I can to keep my impact minimal but still. To be alive, to engineer, hurts the planet if you’re not very very careful.

😂

Nah, I like using C for low level stuff, it balances that it’s reasonably high level and procedural with pretty great performance, size and flexibility. ASM is faster, but you are slower when it comes to understanding someone else’s work.

For projects that aren’t size or performance sensitive, write it in python or whatever the fuck you like, idgaf.

I as well. Seattle transit, NEC Amtrak and NJ transit live off of these. If these systems work for them, they’ll work for us all

Oh, these are the new billionaire inbreds?

Just kidding, fuck yeah, I’ll always upvote “the thing”.

For what it’s worth, it’s a bit nostalgic seeing that “look” of 90s film making and I grew up sorta near that diner.

It was a student film as well, and I appreciate how both good and bad the acting is. Why would the one with authority be in a band-leader getup, if not because in their fractured understanding of us it would make sense?

Dunno, lots of small interesting touches to it.

They’re made out of meat.

Having worked for a municipal water system, no, they are not incompetent when engineers are at the helm. Corruption I saw was related to giving small incidental work to friends, some weird politics sometimes, but that was about it.

More importantly: everyone understood our job wasn’t to make money, we were foundational to our city’s livelihood & health, that of our neighbors, our mother’s and brothers. Quality was job 1, and I really do mean that. Could we have moved faster and for less money? Maybe. But I’m glad we picked doing the job right over doing it fast.

There are some fusion designs that use direct energy conversion.

Some work went into fission designs as well.

Yep. I’m on a bike older than me, she’s light and dependable even in the Seattle rain. Street bike, but I still camp with it 👍

Be safe and don’t forget to get there, https://shouldispeed.com

I really, really dislike the guy, but if he didn’t actually use imagery from the film… Does this suit actually have standing?

C’mon guys, cripes. What are we doing here, feeding lawyers for the sake of feeding lawyers??
