And to think that plumbers and electricians and welders and pipe fitters and fabricators and coating specialists and scaffolders and marine engineers and shipyard laborers built this technological marvel.
You know what's missing from this list?
Ass-clown late night comedians. Don't see them this list.

This is the inside of an LNG cargo tank on a modern LNG carrier. It may look like a metallic maze, but every layer is carefully engineered to safely contain gas at -162°C. Most modern LNG ships use the Gaztransport & Technigaz membrane system, where the tank is built directly into the ship’s hull using a layered containment system rather than separate spherical tanks. In the heart of this system is the primary containment. This is the layer that directly holds the LNG. It is made from thin corrugated materials such as stainless steel or Invar (a nickel-steel alloy). The corrugated design is critical because it allows the material to expand and contract under extreme cold without cracking or failing. It’s a cryogenic material because LNG is extremely cold. Behind this sits the insulation system, which is what is most visible in the image. These are prefabricated insulation boxes made from materials like reinforced polyurethane foam or perlite-filled panels. Their role is to minimize heat entering the tank and maintain the extremely low temperature required to keep the gas in liquid form. Next is the secondary containment system, which acts as a backup safety layer. In the unlikely event that the primary barrier fails, this layer prevents the LNG from reaching the ship’s hull. It is typically made from composite materials such as Triplex, combining aluminum foil and fiberglass for strength and impermeability. There is also a secondary layer of insulation that adds further thermal protection and structural support, ensuring stability throughout the voyage. All these layers sit against the ship’s inner hull, which is shielded from the extreme cold. Without this protection, the hull steel would become brittle and unsafe. In simple terms, the primary barrier holds the LNG, the secondary barrier provides backup protection, and the insulation keeps everything cold and stable. What you’re looking at is not just a tank, but a highly engineered cold containment system that makes global LNG transportation possible.

There’s a huge problem with naming a street after Chuck Norris.
No one crosses Chuck Norris and survives.

This is a sign of a HUGE shift, & few are talking about it at all.
With the "credible organization age" dead for 10-15 years now, and the "influencer age" beginning to die out, ALL news/political media on both left & right are scrambling to identify the next trend.
Thread. 🧵

RIP @chucknorris. In 1990 he founded Chun Kuk Do, which included these principles to live by:
1. I will develop myself to the maximum of my potential in all ways.
2. I will forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements.
3. I will continually work at developing love, happiness and loyalty in my family.
4. I will look for the good in all people and make them feel worthwhile.
5. If I have nothing good to say about a person, I will say nothing.
6. I will always be as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
7. I will maintain an attitude of open-mindedness.
8. I will maintain respect for those in authority and demonstrate this respect at all times.
9. I will always remain loyal to my God, my country, family and my friends.
10. I will remain highly goal-oriented throughout my life because that positive attitude helps my family, my country and myself.

Everyone loves the hero, right? Wrong.
In America, we're conditioned to believe everyone loves the hero. But a hero is never universally loved. They're hated.
Every hero is hated by the people who oppose his mission and his principles. The true challenge for a hero is to live his principles well enough to achieve his mission despite the people who oppose him.
If he develops the courage and discipline to overcome those who oppose him, he can succeed. If not, he’s destroyed and defeated by the opposition who hates what he stands for and what he's trying to accomplish.
It's not the hero's destiny to be loved and celebrated. It's the hero's destiny to be criticized and opposed.
It's overcoming those forces that is heroic and makes the hero.

Why the fuck are we calling them ”suicide drones”??
They are just guided bombs. There is no “suicide” involved. Normal bombs don’t return home after their shift is done.

Password rotation or Forced changes lead to "password hedging," where users just add a number or change one letter (e.g., Summer1! becomes Summer2!).
It is biologically impossible for most people to memorize a high volume of complex, random strings every few months, leading to "sticky note" security risks.
When security is a hassle, users find dangerous shortcuts, like reusing the same "strong" password across every site they own.
The most important fact is that NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), the global authority on cybersecurity standards, officially retired this method
In its Digital Identity Guidelines (SP 800-63B), NIST now explicitly states that organizations "SHALL NOT require" periodic password changes.
They’ve shifted the focus to Length over Complexity.
They recommend allowing passphrases of up to 64 characters and only requiring a change if there is actual evidence of a compromise.

Password rotation every 90 days actually makes your company LESS secure. Change my mind.

Whenever Paul Ehrlich comes up, this letter comes to mind.
I don’t like celebrating anyone’s death. But Ehrlich’s legacy should be remembered for what it is: apocalyptic environmental predictions that helped legitimize coercive sterilization and ruin countless lives. Horrific.
