What happens when: 1) Being wrong on the internet generates the most interaction. 2) Twitter Promotes the tweets with the highest interaction. hmm...

@supertanskiii This frame.

Israel deliberately targets and nearly kills British journalists with a precision attack as they report on Israel ethnically cleansing a region of southern Lebanon. Motherfuckers.

@BuschidoEra @liveinnoto 99.99% of trains have solid axle wheelsets. You can't add camber to an axle. These need individual axles (with added linear thrust bearing) Steam engines require the connection to the opposite wheels with a 90° phase offset on the cylinders (4 strokes per revolution 2 each side)

@liveinnoto Cambered wheels only really become an issue if the wheels can deform (metal driving wheels don't much) or if there are turns (crossing Siberia is basically a straight line).

この調子では何十年先になるか分からないけど、車両をフルスクラッチできるようになったら挑戦してみたいルイジ･コラーニのシベリア鉄道超高速蒸気機関車コンセプト 動力はテンダードライブにするとして、ネガティブキャンバーの強い動輪をどうするかが課題ですw

@FancyEggGaming @TheCinesthetic Oooh Betty!

@TheCinesthetic Ridiculously over the top and near impossible to find now. Cant believe it was this guy..

You may not remember it, but Disney once made a movie called Condorman (1981), about a comic-book artist who becomes a secret agent with a winged flight suit fighting the KGB. A wonderfully bizarre piece of Disney history.

@TheCinesthetic Oooh Betty!

@AntiEVidiots @HMRCgovuk Fk'd up isn't it... And soon you'll have to pay 3p a mile on top of that too...

Genuine question: what is the logic behind a dirty old diesel paying £20 VED whilst a much cleaner EV pays £195 (or more)? It’s certainly not about air quality, emissions or the need to raise funds for the @HMRCgovuk.

@NoelDolphin Hyper energised for this! Absolutely wired.

I will also be doing a clubbing version of my presentation....(video needs volume).

@Pebble Coming to a wrist near you. Soon?

From render to real life. Coming to a wrist near you.

@RealEmirHan Can't be copied [By Green Light Photocopiers] - (but they went out of existence 25 years ago)

Christopher Nolan sends scripts in red paper, so they can’t be copied.

Someone needs to redo Scrapheap Challenge, but at a higher engineering level, with something more serious than a rusty Trebuchet as the aim, but with one team allowed no computers at all, and the other allowed all modern engineering analysis tools. I would bet that some rather surprising things might happen. Team A could be called the "Luddites", and I nominate myself as their first team member.

@JShodanVR In 1993 I was playing Heavy Metal* in VR. (*A Mech Warrior style game). timeextension.com/features/virtu…

I don’t understand. This stuff is real, it exists, you can actually buy it, and yet the VR market is almost dead. What happened to the kids in the 90s who dreamed about this possibility? Why do modern kids now go crazy for games where you don’t really do anything, where at most you just swipe up and down, or spend their time screaming in stupid games that require no concentration, like amoebas with no curiosity? This stuff finally f***ing exists, and yet the videogame market pretends it’s invisible. F***! F***! F***! In 1998, when we were 13 playing Resident Evil 2 on the PlayStation with my friends, we would have killed to be able to play something like this.

@MancerAI_ @davepl1968 @thiojoe Nasa was planning to use a Free Piston Stirling Engine Generator on @NasaCuriosity rover, instead of the traditional thermocouples found in a RTG.. nasa.gov/technology/rps…

@davepl1968 @thiojoe Iirc (long time since I took thermo) Sterling cycle is superior in many ways but for some reason it never got widespread use. Hmm should probably read up on it

I've got a single-cylinder Stirling engine that runs on the heat from a @thiojoe coffee cup!

@davepl1968 @thiojoe if anyone wants one.. stirlingengine.co.uk/products/ks90-…

One day I WILL own one of these 😍

@killermcknight Must be time for a bit more Ritchie and Eddie.. It's time for Guest House Paradiso.

@LEGO_Group if your SLA is 48 hrs why not send an email every 48hrs with an update saying there is an ongoing delay.. it'd be better to get an automated "you're still in the queue, we will get to you as soon as we can" email than what it looks like at present, just ignoring customers..

@Parax We’re sorry for the wait. We’re busier than usual right now, but we’re working hard to respond to everyone as quickly as possible.

@LEGO_Group hey I sent a message to customer service last week about the wrong bags in my wife's set (we have two bag 6 and no bag 9!) I've not heard anything back yet, what's up?

@LEGO_Group Already completed online service request, but no reply for 5 days. I have waited 30 minutes on support phone queue to customer service with no answer. Will putting in a second online request fix the first request or just trigger a second support ticket that will also be ignored?

@Parax Hi there! Oh no, we're sorry about that! Please give us another shout at LEGO.build/Service, and we'll send you the correct bag in no time. 📞

@ViewParkside @garethpig @accurascale These calculators may be useful. (the back calc button will decode your CV29 Value into the individual bit options) 2mm.org.uk/articles/cv29%…

@ViewParkside @garethpig @accurascale If you put 1199 directly into CV17 (=196) and CV18 (=175) but Bit5 of CV29 is not set then it'll still use the original Address that is set in CV1. Read CV1 to find the short Address, and try using that to see if it responds.

Need DCC help Now chipped and programmed and nothing. No movement not even a flicker of lights. Same with my @accurascale 66 Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?? My HSTs which I programmed at the same time are fine
