My brother has this completely redpilled friend. He’s taken college level classes on aerodynamics and aerospace manufacturing (so have I). He’s always pointing out the contrails and saying something about mind control or Bill Gates…
I always sarcastically ask him about what other medium would he expect them to be projecting the sky on. Gets him to shut up real quick. For an hour or so… They really aren’t that bright.
I’d probably go to bed because I am clearly not awake and this must be a dream.
I thought the same when I got it. I ordered it online and when it arrived I was kinda surprised… But I’ve gotten through a little bit more than 3/4 of it in about a week so I guess I like it lol!
Right now I’m reading Leviathan Wakes and I cannot put it down. It’s such a good book!
At work I’m listening to The Digital Plague and it’s pretty darn good. Book 2 of the Avery Cates series which is in the dark, gritty cyberpunk genre with a good amount of dark humor.
Both are really good books!
My tiny flashlight will light up my whole yard and then some like it’s day. I do admit that’s a little bit excessive but it’s great for when I hear something out there at night. I don’t exactly live in the best neighborhood… Makes clearing the property a hell of a lot easier and when that things pointed right at you, you can’t see shit.
Even on the lower settings though it’s far better and faster than using your phone. Also I guess it’s a little bit more specific to my needs because I am a machinist, it’s a lot easier for me to just pull out a flashlight than to strain my eyes trying to see something.
A tiny keychain tape measure. It’s one of those things you have no idea how much you’ll use until you have one on you all the time.
Looking at something online? How big exactly is it? It says 16.5" but can you picture that in your head somewhat accurately? It’s just easier to pull out your tape measure and see.
I’ve also started carrying around a small flashlight everywhere I go. I have an Imalent LD70 Mini. It’s small enough to fit in my change pocket and it’ll put out a blinding ~4000 lumens on turbo (for about a minute before it gets too hot). I do admit that it’s not the best flashlight ever. It has a ridiculous magnetic proprietary charger that will short on whatever if you leave it plugged in but it does what I need it to do.
Alright so how about we build an air tight enclosure around a small part of the door, just big enough to get, say, a small drone through. A mechanical part of this enclosure would be saws or something to breech the door. Would probably want to draw a vacuum in the enclosure first just in case… maybe the enclosure could act as an airlock so researchers could access the drone for charging, upgrading, repairs, and whatnot?
I heard of this tomb when I was really young and ever since I’ve kinda used it as an engineering exercise in my head. Sometimes I draw things out for myself but this is the first time I’ve ever told anyone about it lol
My favorite trick is using another bottle to open a bottle.
All I can see is an axolotl minotaur…
When I was in rehab I got a cigarette injector and would sell cigarettes. They regularly made runs to the smoke shop for us and took shopping lists. Yours may or may not but it was a good source of income and good for bartering.
Reading, drawing, playing card games were mostly how I passed my time. I’m assuming that since you’re going to rehab you know how to play spades but if not I’d highly recommend learning.
They’re of course going to give you a lot of coursework too so you can look forward to that.
I took would like to know. I’m currently DAW shopping and this is the first I’ve ever heard of Ardour
