This sounds like the sort of infrastructure project the Linux Foundation should be supporting.

We should also be able to see their eyes and mouths, no? ;)

 

Just wanted to give a shout out to city services. That is all ;)

It's easy once you realize that it's talking about the river -- the water flows from uphill to downhill. Quebec is downhill of Ontario.

I don't think fishing was the activity that the game was missing. But sure, why not haha 😂

They're slowly laying the groundwork for EU5 being released. And that means slowly end-of-lifing EU4. I expect to see more and more DLC moved slowly into the core to keep people buying EU4 for a year or two.

Mods like Anbennar are doing more to keep EU4 alive than Paradox is, at this point.

No but I have an expired bottle of T3s from a wisdom tooth extraction a decade ago. What could possibly go wrong?

The original sound is indeed from the spacecraft -- it's taken from the mission control recording. However, the filter is entirely fabricated.

No problem. We will solve our housing crisis by building everything out of concrete then -- an even higher emitter.

Unrelated to the other question: any geoguesser?

My best guess is Kluane Lake, Alaska Highway through the Yukon. But Google Street view says there is more taiga there.

What does the original say? Poetry? Fanfics?

This is actually brilliant

Delay it, maybe, but for how long and will it matter? 🤔

 
 
 
 
 

Hey folks, pardon the rookie question. We need to build a few hundred of these per year, so I thought I'd tool up, and wanted to figure out how to do this "cheaply".

Parameters. Stainless steel rods, with one end sharpened to a point, and the other end deburred. Typically 30cm long with no real tolerance issues, and no real parameters on the point other than "if you hit it with a hammer, you should be able to drive them into the earth." Typically made of 3/8" or 1/2" stainless.

My main problem is: stainless is fucking hard and destroys my bench grinder when grinding tips onto it. Is there a better grinder I could be using? Or perhaps I should be cutting these on a small lathe?

Also, when I buy stainless stock, I usually have the metal wholesaler cut them to length for us, but they charge quite a bit. The stainless destroys my bandsaw blades, so perhaps there is a better option? Is there a mitre saw blade that is rated for stainless? Or should I also be using a parting tool on a lathe here?

Thoughts are appreciated. Such a simple thing, but stainless so...

 

Just won the Oscar for best visual

 

I'm kind of okay with this. It was a reasonable take -- not a hot take or an incendiary comment or something. Mods using their power to shut down discussion -- expected on that instance I guess ;)

This is my first time getting any sort of ban on any lemmy instance. Now I just need to get banned on a right-wing server for some other centrist take, to keep balance in the universe ;)

How many of you have experienced this on lemmy.ml?
