@i2cjak house walls are just really thick 2 layer boards. Outlets are just vias

idea: put copper wire in the walls of your house. then put electricity through them to power various items.

@Bad_Fawkes @AngryAssetOwner like 20 years ago

@dpedu @AngryAssetOwner You've never worked in a machine shop have you?

IT guy unplugged a dusty serial cable from the back of the CNC controller bc it "wasn't labeled in the database." That cable was the only thing telling the coolant pump not to melt the drill bit. He looked at the smoking machine & asked said he'd submit a "trouble ticket". FML

@HarmonicLodge @Thinkwert in motorcycle classes in the 2000s they told us to stick a magnet on the bottom of our bikes to help trigger these easier

@Thinkwert These used to be ubiquitous. Used to be super annoying for bikes (either bicycles or motorcycles). Now most intersections used cameras to detect when vehicles are present.

I had a buddy in college (prone to tall tales) who told me that there were secret sensors embedded in the pavement and if you didn’t pull your car up far enough the light wouldn’t turn green. He was right?? All these years I thought it was just a fantastic tale he told me.

@blind_via it is particularly annoying that the swelled cells cause the bottom of the laptop bow out too, making the laptop sit on its center and rock around

Wow, do thin laptops actually do this? How many batteries is that? All the tablets I have opened up lately just have one large flat cell, nothing like this. fake?

@postsofkittens omg its ton ton

Don't jump from the 7th floor

@PLA_MilitaryUpd wouldn't we just laser the balloon? Doesn't seem like a threat.

Here is a concept for the PLA with weather balloons armed with loitering ammunition packed on racks. We could float thousands of these 70,000-80,000 feet up on the air (Where the F-22 cant even reach as we tested a few years ago😉) and launch saturation attacks on enemies.

@QuinnyPig @awscloud why the heck did they make the kms-related error message for ec2 launches "Client.InternalError: Client error on launch" ???

“kms” is gen-z shorthand for “kill myself”, and should not be confused with @awscloud KMS which makes me want to kill myself.

@nikitabier do I lose the Dim theme if I update the app?

We’re rolling out an experimental new feature for everyone monitoring the situation right now. In the US and Canada on iOS, you’ll be able to filter your timeline by topic — by tapping on the For You tab.

@HSVSphere Google Barf 🤮🤮🤮

remember when bard and llama were a thing

@patio11 Enpass is just as good on its free tier

1Password continues to be the largest gap between what I’m invoiced and how terrible life would be if the service went away.

@rjonesy i have that amp on my desktop computer and it randomly stops working and starts playing max volume static. PC though

7 years of rock solid AirPlay. No hiccups, lag, reboots, anything. I've never even turned one off!

@TansuYegen wow that metal gear sure is solid

I’ve never seen one of those be stopped…

@unusual_whales "giving the president control" ??????

Reportedly, Trump will kill Netflix’s bid for Warner Bros. and help Paramount win, giving the president control of Fox, CBS, CNN, and TikTok, per Washington Monthly

@amphlux @ChallengesCss 2517 😎

@ChallengesCss I submit 1571 as my top score

In graph theory, there are algorithms that find the shortest path between two nodes. I made one with pure CSS (including the graph drawing). Drag the nodes, and the shortest path will update in real-time! css-tip.com/graph-theory/ A demo powered by all the modern CSS features🤩

@victorpds1 @f4micom flash and the camera island are the wrong shape

@f4micom Close enough

ok what chinese oem is manufacturing this

@blind_via I would have expected the opposite for the purpose of reducing BOM variety

The thing I dislike most about this design is the use of identical connectors. It's a good idea to not do this if possible, making the connectors dis-similar makes more obvious when plugging into the wrong jack. Unfortunately, this was a user choice not mine, and he is aware of good practice of not doing it, but it's convenient cause he has a big pile of these already. Requirements come from all kinds of different reasons and sometimes counteract good decisions. But it is what it is.

@blind_via scribble over the permanent marker using one of the dry erase markers, it should make it wipe off

Run your pcb DRCs. Don't forget your fiducials. Is it possible to fix white boards that do not erase?

@samleham @realgracchus @milichab @N4GGERS @javilopen did you not look at the screenshot?

@realgracchus @dpedu @milichab @N4GGERS @javilopen well i assume it works the same as rollercoaster tycoon, you needed to build these right next to the ride and pathway

@25YearsAgoLive why was it so close? Did they ignore TCAS?

Over Yaizu, Shizuoka, Japan, two Japan Air Lines (JAL) aircraft, a Boeing 747 and a McDonnell Douglas DC-10, very narrowly avoid a midair collision by a margin of only a couple hundred feet. Both aircraft noticed each other and took radical evasive maneuvers, resulting in seven serious injuries and 91 minor injuries, but both aircraft make it down to the ground intact. If the planes had collided, 677 people would have died. It would have been the deadliest single aviation incident of all time. But it was just barely avoided. Below is a simulated recreation of the incident by The Flight Channel.
