First one, then the other.

I once had a box of drone parts dropped off in my office at work. Inside the battered cardboard box were two big 6S 16,000 mAh batteries that were both swelled up like footballs. This had been just sitting inside somewhere. I (carefully!) placed them outside until I could get ahold of an electronics recycler who could take them.

Building walls in satisfactory be like

It’s just a comment to make themselves feel better, while ignoring the right wing creep of their own country.

Something happened to me once that doesn’t have anything to do with AI, but it made me feel sad for a lot of people.

Before I got married, a couple of my friends took me to an impromptu bachelor party. Went to a bar, got me drunk, then took me to a topless bar, which was something I’d never done before. One of my friends paid for a private dance, which involved just me and this nearly undressed woman I didn’t know being in a room together. I asked her kindly to just sit and talk with me, I didn’t need a dance.

She told me that actually happens a lot. Men who don’t want a dance they just want a human to talk to them.

The point isn’t to win.

Adjusts tinfoil hat

The issue is, there are stupidly religious people in the US government who desperately want to bring about the rapture/apocalypse because their special book said so, and they are in a position to do it. The point isn’t to win, the point is to end the world because rapture.

This is what happens when you don’t question Christians/evangelicals in government. They get worse and worse over time.

Could have easily been a small plane instead

Couldn’t it also cause problems for a large plane? I’m pretty sure if I shined my little green laser into the sky under the approach for a local airport I’d get a knock on the door pretty fast.

This was covered in the classes I took to get my Pt 107. Someone didn’t look at their maps.

I bet they just found some guy who had his own DJI mini-2 and decided he was the drone guy.

The whole situation is hilarious, now. The issue was, his mother also has four other children, younger than my son. None of these children are mine, I’ve never even met them. So of course the first month of No More Support, and she’s blowing my phone up demanding I keep paying because of the other children. Where are their father(s)?

I read the first book, and the sequels when I was younger. The sequels were a struggle I remember.

If starfighters work like aircraft, an engine swap should be easy and normal.

Seems like actual local police would want to get this stopped fast, but they don’t seem to understand cause and effect.

I used to work as a drafter at a precast concrete company. We mostly built parking garages.

You’re basically correct, paving for a parking lot is cheaper than building a multi story parking garage. A three level parking garage could cost about $20,000,000. And you still have to do the paving on the ground level. The parking garage needs engineering from licensed P.E.'s, hundreds and hundreds of yards of concrete, tons of rebar bent just so and placed just so, thousands of feet of high-strength steel cable, multiple trucks running from our plant to the site over and over to move the parts, then welders, crane operators, grouters, cleanup crew, finishers…

As opposed to just packing the dirt down, pushing some gravel over it, a bit of rebar and an on-site concrete pour.

It goes like this nowadays: “Hahah, I fooled these suckers into hiring me”

My little paid-for econobox saves me so much money

The longest I left them turned on without starting the car was five days, and it didn’t have any trouble. Interesting enough, I bought a car the same model but two years newer than the one I had rodent problems with, and the mice left it alone. I think some wiring insulation is made of something that tastes good to mice.

Someone called me a deadbeat father because I stopped paying child support… On my now-adult child.

Interesting. I use Mint. I’m not a Methodist.

My wife on the other hand is a Methodist lay speaker so…

And they still don’t have any info on the kidnappers.

Should we report magas for being in the wrong bathroom? Gum up their little bounty system?
