[TV] Foundation [2023] S2:E8 execution collar is deactivated with Wago 221 lever nuts used as switches
While watching I was very amused because I just happened to have one in my pocket from work today.
Weird sound caused by jet flying by
Also I finally get to use the loud noises scared me flare 💪
Just never heard that long wailing sound come from a jet before. Any idea what caused it?
Today I learned these cursed things exist
Idk who is so married to duplex that they go this far but gross.
Last year of the Cults of DragonCon contest
here’s last year’s trophies, I’ve been making them every year and as I’m wrapping up making them for the last time today I got a little emotional. It sort of turned into a Marriott carpet costume contest and the other cults didn’t get as much attention. So if you have one of these trophies I made, congrats. And for those participating one last time, may the favor be ever in your odds.
Edit for clarity: yes, this is the last year this contest will be running
We need a seatbelt mod
Adding a button to the dashboard where you need to actively use the seatbelt every time just like you gotta do in rl would be perfect. Especially since in 1996 people were still pretty resistant to putting them on. Maybe on some of the nicer cars the seatbelt chime goes off as a reminder? I dunno.
Wish I knew how to make mods, otherwise I’d crank this one out. It would be fun.
Defining the Relationship 4GOD maybe?
Idk, googling DTR only gave me that result. What else could it be?

Yeah, I can’t unsee FartLoop, my humor is perpetually driven by a 12yo
You ever see those videos where they are trying to pull a bar of gold out of a tiny hole in a glass box?
I’m convinced they built the cabinet around this Bose acoustimass module. I’m gonna have to cut this out.
My brain is poisoned, I thought I was looking at layer lines
When you know how to jump a pack, you can bring dead ones back
Partner let their battery sit uncharged for months. Almost tossed it out.
of a fidget spinner
I made this sometime around 2016. It was CNC milled from Baltic birch and the bearings are Koyo bearings I got for pennies from a discount store. It’s quite hard to use and weighs 17.8lbs
Veins hurt - anyone else feel like your veins in your arms and legs just ache on bad flare days?

It’s solid bronze I think. It had such a heft that it left dents in the knocker plate. I just happened to have a standard scale banana with me.
Fiber fusion splicing is witchcraft
We’re pretty new at using this machine, we got it last year but only really started using it this week.
What you are seeing is an X and Y axis view of the ends of the fiber being aligned automatically, brought close then using two electrodes the glass is heated and brought together.
0.0db loss from this splice (seen in the middle lower part of the screen)
This is the AI-30 fusion splicer, definitely already paid for itself on this one job.
Made these 3D printed pulleys to help us pull fiber 2200ft
Really pleased with how these worked out, I printed 6 of them and we used most of them.
