  • Looks fine to me

  • You dirty rat. You put that under the spoiler tag to sucker me into looking at that unholy thing.

    I should not have clicked. It could have been something nice like tubgirl or goatse.

  • Data centers are now hoarding SSDs as hard drive supplies dry up

  • It's an old saying, longer version I know is:

    "Saddest thing in the world is a cat scratching at the window because it used to be an inside cat."

  • After a foray into consulting and plant management, I'm back in the shop working with my hands and programming. My favorite part of the trade is teaching kids. (Enough grey in my beard that anyone under 30 is a kid). I could make more money doing other things but I don't need the stress.

    I hope I'm able to work until I die, even if I 'retire'. I've begun learning Blender and mixing it with CAD so that I can do sculpture.

    I love the smell of black cutting oil.

  • Skinner's glare of disdain would have flayed the flesh from his bones. It would have been a Monster of the Week episode. Mulder would actually help with the coverup and chalk it up to a one time involuntary psychic event. Scully would have cocked her head, pursed her lips, squinted, and said, "hmph."

  • Lead shot for waterfowl hunting has been banned in the US for a few decades. It's still used for upland bird hunting. I think it's still frequently used illegally for waterfowl.

    Not an expert, but have a decent layman's understanding. Could totally be wrong about the next part:

    It's my understanding that lead contamination of wild animals through hunting primarily occurs due to various sizes of bird shot. The greater surface area allows a much higher level of contamination. It also forms lead dust in the shell from friction and when fired. It's also easier for animals to eat it. Rifle rounds and slugs are fairly inert as the larger size prevents most consumption and less absorption when it is consumed.

  • My guess is that migratory waterfowl eat lead shot when 'grazing' the bottom of wetlands. This bio-concentrates the lead in eagles when they prey on ducks and such.

  • ICE agents keep accidentally shooting themselves

    Jump

  • Read about this years ago. This is the only accidental discharge I've heard about. Worn leather holster pulls the trigger. In fairness, an argument can be made that using a worn/flexible holster was negligence.

  • And batteries. They really wanted to sell you those batteries.

  • The boiled peanut is superior to the baked bean.

    Jump

  • Kind of nutty but more like a chickpea/garbonzo than peanut. Very salty, a common variety is cajun. Texture is somewhere between water chestnut and a firm Lima bean depending on how long they've been boiled. I prefer them on the firmer side.

  • It would require Von Neumann machines to do it. Of, course, we could end up being turned into grey goo with that sort of tech.

    But, yeah, simply invent self-replicating nanotech. Shoot it at the moon, Mars, Ceres. Viola, data centers in space. Use the same tech to clean up the enviroment and eliminate oil dependence. Might as well rebuld the coral reefs and old growth forests. Also cures cancer and the common cold. And is the fountain of youth. And we all live happily ever after in the computer.
