I work cleaning and examining aluminum parts. To clean them we use a grit blaster with plastic beads. Most other grit would be too hard to use on aluminum. As such, I regularly breath plastic dust. I embrace my fate. I am a child of the petroleum byproduct. I am a child of the modern era, an unholy chimera of meat and polymer.

EO. Bits of people’s lives in Poland, told through the eyes of a donkey

Nevermind, I just remembered Call of Duty exists

They absolutely don’t. I’m just wondering why it works out financially for Marvel and Mission Impossible movies but not for games

I’m curious though, viewing movies as investments has made a some studios filthy rich. Why does that seem to be different for games?

Merry Christmas and I hope you had a joyous Saturnalia

I don’t know if it’s still available, but you used to be able to download many Orson Welles radio dramas as podcasts. It was great entertainment when I worked for a moving company driving hours ever day

Edit: It was called Relic Radio. The last upload was 2023. Iirc the shows had a wide variety of audio quality

That would be where I took this. Great museum. They reeealllly try to hammer home the merits of Mutually Assured Destruction though. It makes sense though, most of the staff there are retired air force who served under SAC

This is the injector plate for a liquid fueled Titan II. They went out of service in the 80s iirc. Modern ICBMs use solid fuel, which are much different

My aunt and uncle hold a big Thanksgiving every year, 25-40 people. I am eternally grateful to them, without that event I would probably be completely estranged from my extended family

Thanks! This is from 6 or 7 years ago though. I sold my camera long ago

Oh Cartman, that rascal

He and his band was my first concert. Great writer and singer

I use both Edge and Chrome for school, and the textbooks are multiple 1000+ page pdfs. Chrome leaves Edge in the dust for ctrl+F searches in the PDFs. I have no opinions between them beyond that, but in that case Edge is borderline unusable

Slurm

I never use escalators. I always take the stairs. It is usually faster, and the little bit of extra cardio is always a good thing

The insistence on showing the AI summary at the top of the page is wild to me. They can be dangerously wrong. It seems like a massive liability for what benefit? Just more AI = good? I don’t get the thinking there on the part of major search engines

Were those the crab people or the dinosaurs?

Your country has great food

He’s donated to a lot of small computer museums. Great guy
