Yeah. I gotta say I came in here to see what the problem was. These things support a ton of weight and, while it may not be beautiful, it isn't going anywhere.

I believe this is the inside of an industrial, water-tube boiler. Like where it is being manufactured. If you look in the upper left, you can see tubes to be welded in. It isn't a perfect match, but those openings in the pipes look like where blowdown piping would go in. Source, I designed piping systems for these.

Edit: If you click on the small images on this page you can see a lot of piping that looks just like this: https://balcke-duerr.com/en/service-solutions/boiler-projects-services/

That said, it is really difficult to get a sense of scale here and this could be some much smaller heat transfer device that just uses the same design.

There is nothing honorable here. This code is best avoided. We are not proud of what we have done.

"Enemy ship sighted to the North!"

"Roger that! Commence removal of 'North'!"

This is the kind of crap that still brings me to the Internet! Thanks to whomever had this ridiculous thought and said, "I'mma make that a thing."

Is it federated and open source? If not, I'll pass.

I agree that separating people who do not abide by the contract of society is necessary, but I think we (America) are wrong to make it a punitive experience. Separate them and let them live their lives as comfortably as they can. Causing additional suffering does not seem to be necessary.

This was the healthiest relationship on TV when I was growing up.

I'll be in my bunk.

The Bulls jersey is another nice touch!

For commercial offerings this is probably true for at least some of them, but creating your own VPN isn't terribly difficult if you are serious about your privacy. I typically just use them when I travel to countries like China where I can't get to a bunch of necessary services, so I don't mind if they route my YouTube traffic through CIA headquarters, but if I was doing anything more than that I would just set up my own.

Hey. I'm so happy to hear that you are back doing music! Your happiness and joy means everything to me!

The rest of your message reads as though you think you failed at something, but that really isn't possible. You are amazing. If you ever feel like life is beating you down, it probably means you are trying to force yourself along a path that isn't the right one for you. Long before you get to this point, please stop and look around and ask yourself if this road is even the one you are supposed to be on. There is absolutely no shame in deciding that you need to backtrack, but there can be great suffering, for yourself and those around you, if you keep trying to fit yourself to something that isn't you.

Make music.

Have friendships.

Only worry about money to the extent that you need it to survive. All other efforts should be put into joy and connections.

I'm very proud of you.

Edit: I thought of something else I needed to say. Don't worry at all about the larger world.

In fact, it is best just to pretend it doesn't exist. Live small. Love everyone, even the assholes. Realize that their actions are born of fear. Do right where you are. If everyone stopped worrying about things outside of their immediate scope and instead focused on performing right actions where they are, the world would be better, but you can't control everybody. You can only control you. Focus on the things you can improve and try not to know anything about the rest. You will be happier and better for those around you if you do.

It is beautiful, but is that just a body on the floor to the left? 🤣

That's what I have so far. I've read or referred to most of them. DM me if anyone wants anything.

I bought a 2 year old, 2017 BMW i3 and have had basically no range reduction. I primarily charge at home on a level 2 charger. The i3 didn't have a ton of range to begin with, so if you live in a colder climate, make sure you account for losing some of the stated range during colder months.

For long fasts, where all you drink is water, there is a recipe for "snake juice", which is a blend of electrolytes that matches the body so your electrolyte balance doesn't get out of whack. It is far too salty to drink at full strength if you aren't fasting, but if you mix it into more water then it should be exactly what you need. You can then add flavoring or sweetener as desired:

• 2L Water
• 1 tsp potassium chloride (NoSalt/salt substitute)
• 1 tsp sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
• 1/2 tsp sodium chloride (Himalayan pink salt or mineral salt)
• 1/2 tsp magnesium chloride.

The flavor you are looking for is jackfruit. Just go get one of those humongous jackfruits from the grocery and you can enjoy the taste of juicy fruit for way longer than you would like.

Cries in Autocannon...

Seriously, though! What is the upside of posting AI slop on Lemmy? Everything is made up and the points don't matter. They are only making the Internet worse! Wait... Maybe that's the point...
