@ryzerth I'll have to try it out!

@elonmusk Kansas City isn't a desert... 😂 But my primary complaint about solar is that grid scale batteries aren't cost effective... And they'd need to be replaced. I'd love them for some uses though. My money is on small modular nuclear reactors...

Correct

@ShitpostRock Skyrim when you could summon a dragon

@MadamePasghetti @vividvoid Parents have an obligation to help their children make big life-altering decisions, especially when they are underage.

@vividvoid So strange that you felt entitled to needing to feel confident in a decision he was making for himself. It’s cruel that you delayed him being able to live as himself because you couldn’t trust him to know who he is. I hope he never speaks to you again.

Before my son transitioned, we worked out a set of conditions together that he had to meet so that we could both feel confident it was the right move: 1. No chemicals or surgery before 18. Period. 2. He needed to be able to dispassionately recite opposing positions, including difficult and critical perspectives, on the subjects of transgender identity and transition as a treatment for gender dysphoria. 3. He needed to fully research and understand the potential complications, including tail risks like deformation, lifelong pain and dependence on the medical industry 4. Two years of therapy dedicated to gender dysphoria issues to see if they could be resolved that way 5. A long weekend in the woods on solo meditation retreat, praying to God and communing with the deepest parts of the self to be sure this would be the right decision. After doing all of these, and a lot of time for contemplation, he elected to begin transitioning when he was almost 20. Given the severity of his symptoms, it was the best option for him. I don't think most critics of medical transition are against it when it's a fully measured intervention that genuinely treats human suffering. I think most critics are horrified by the nonchalance of our culture toward children and vulnerable adults electing to have genuinely life-changing procedures in an atmosphere of social contagion, profit-driven medical malfeasance, and uncritical ideological pressure. But when transition is fully and wisely considered, and limited to consenting adults, I think it saves lives, and the art should be not only preserved, but deepened and improved.

@broblas @gak_pdx Anechoic chambers are NUTS.

@gak_pdx Most MEs I worked with on it still just think it's mostly guessing. Antenna measurement gets pretty nuts pretty fast. Big systems with 0.001-3 repeatability. Loved working on them but spent much more time on way human sized surgical systems.

Each step down the precision rabbit hole tells you how bad you were at the previous steps: - Grinding shows you are a mediocre machinist. - Lapping shows your grinding sucks. - Metrology to the sub µm shows you to be a garbage human and there is no truth in the world.

@gak_pdx @optomachina Yeah I reference that one a lot trying to explain GD&T... NOTHING is round, NOTHING is flat, NOTHING is parallel

@optomachina I was but a lamb to the cosmic slaughter.

@sirspacedragon Is that the new SIG?

Screw it. DEPLOYING TACTICAL BLAIDD

@HLC_actual The 9K111 "tops" the MIG-15 huh? That checks out... MIG-15: "Obliterate me daddy~"

I knew the MIG-15 one but I feel like this tops it in every way 🤣

@funkrautha @KivvyCat I do this, and also count my breaths. Anytime I lose count I start over. It limits how much your mind can wander if you are keeping count, and gets harder the higher you go. I RARELY get to 100, never got to 200.

@KivvyCat sit/lay down for a while and breathe. focus on the feeling of the air passing in and out of your nostrils. feel the air in your throat and lungs and slow your breathing till its a rythmic pattern. literally do that till u sleep

Does anyone have tips or recommendations on getting to sleep easier? :3 I often just find myself mentally wired in bed for long stretches

@Rebels_Raiders I dunno, WWI I'd vastly prefer a Glock to an Enfield for trench clearing... But you are generally right I think.

I get that in civilian life (and even law enforcement), pistols can matter. But in a military context? Pistols are a step above irrelevant only useful to a tiny group, and even then, just barely. I could drop Gucci Glocks into WWI and it would change absolutely nothing.

@Bisckoff Ask for uppies

hes cute but hes 6’4 and im 5’6 so like what do i do

@LlamaIsYourGod @BlackLightTav @FenixAmmunition Based

@BlackLightTav @FenixAmmunition That is a bag of 10mm 180gr JHP

Thank you @FenixAmmunition y’all are doin God’s work. If you wanna buy from someone who actually gives a shit about your freedom, these are the guys.

@Pirat_Nation Halo. The original just has that je ne sais quoi

What game?

@LieutenantRusty @yuval_beery You'd be surprised how little force it takes to bend something by 0.1mm, or how little wear it takes to remove 0.1mm of material around a corner.

@Jake96884288 @yuval_beery (A) if tension on the slide is bending your frame rails when the slide is at rest, then you need to stand by for a slide to the face when shooting; and, (B) I measured mine with the slide off.

My P320 FCU is measurably out of spec. Is yours? Let’s find out. We don’t have a complete set of drawings for the P320, but we *do* have a few useful odds and ends from court filings, including this one, showing the width of the frame rails, with tolerances.

@LieutenantRusty @yuval_beery They could also be under tension from the slide. Dimensions are usually in an "unconstrained" state.

@yuval_beery That’s true, *but* on a drawing, when an angle appears to be 90 degrees it’s standard practice to assume that it actually is a right angle. If it’s not, it’ll be called out. Also, if you look at the CT scan, if those were bent fully, that would solve the width tolerance issue.

@dilanesper Besides, airport food is always horribly overpriced and it's not the point of the destination. You'll get better food for cheaper and a far more memorable experience when you land. The goal of the airport is just to endure it long enough to get where you're going.

@dilanesper Phrased another way, the desire to "treat yourself" with unnecessary consumption is a great way to always stay broke. You're talking about middle to upper middle class people, not billionaires. Frequent fliers on commercial airlines are not so wealthy they can't waste it all.

Delta is having significant problems with lounge overcrowding. I think this is illustrative of something that is truly weird about the behavior of well-off people: they really like free stuff even when they can pay for something better. us.yahoo.com/finance/news/d…
