Yeah, just no

That's a pretty normal picture if you have regular, social interactions. What's weird is posting that anywhere outside your circle of friends and the picture becoming the topic of public debate after one of the subjects allegedly shot someone.

That being said, and I say this as a married, retired old fuck - that guy definitely fucks.

The cherry on top is the warning about the PowerShell team cooking up their own version of a download command with an incompatible syntax, but still calling it curl.

They actually joke about it in the show, screaming "Aah, a crocodile", and it's just some woman working there. Same with the director being a lion, I believe.

The exhibit has turtles and penguins.

As someone who often lifts a finger, types out the first two sentences of a comment and then just resigns: thanks for the well-written comment.

It's not that they might be correct, it's the fact that it got this bad in the first place, and that people accept it.

Arthur should be equally devastated, pissed, burned out, not dismissive and potentially praising some made up grind while succumbing to survivor bias.

The output is sorted due to the fact that for each number, a timer is started that prints out the number after waiting a number of milliseconds equal to said number.

Therefore, 1 is printed first after delaying for 1 millisecond, 5 is printed second after 5 milliseconds etc.

The comic highlights the differences in the portrayal of women and men in media, often oversexualizing women in any number of contexts.

A medieval maid milking the cows would probably not have looked (or smelled) like a supermodel.

Jesus Christ.

I'm a big fan of archive.org and I regularly look for manuals, but they don't show up in common searches as a source, so knowing that now is really helpful. Thanks!

I have absolutely done that in the past, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I can slice off exactly how much I want, getting a good feeling for the portion size. The noodles stick together, there is no unfurling and subsequent mess when transferring them to a dish. They'll loosen up a bit when heated, but stick together enough to offer a superior eating experience - just cut a piece off and consume.

Some context:

After Elmo's venture into posting anime stuff on Twitter, this feels rather tame I guess. Or I'm just too jaded to care about this timeline any longer.

I argued that exact same way with someone very close to me. Their answer was:

But those gods aren't real!

Nothing you can do if that last conclusion isn't there.

If my limbs would operate using hydraulics, I'd love for my dead body to be repurposed like that. Mount my carcass on a mobile platform and have me grab things from the top shelf while I shed flakes of decaying flesh, constantly surrounded by the scent of rancid fat and formaldehyde. Give me purpose beyond death.

I don't care if they participated in a satanic ritual, Christian mass or if they summoned Yog-Sothoth, that has nothing to do with school, there should be no way for people to be expelled for something like that. And to top it off, it was a fucking dance ceremony.

At the time, her private school’s teachers were mostly white people who would often discuss the satanic nature of Apache traditions

Jesus fucking Christ...

I believe it doesn't really matter much whether you want to protect the environment from vibrations of the machine vs. protecting the machine from vibrations of the environment - in both cases, decoupling the systems is what you want to achieve.

Eventually, you want to build a TMD: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuned_mass_damper

I personally had to deal with the case of a large format CNC machine transferring stepper motor vibrations into an adjacent office via the wall-mounted brackets it was sitting on. People started to complain shortly after installation since the noise was very audible in the otherwise quiet working environment.

The solution involved placing the machine on a plate mounted via rubber decouplers (see https://www.dayco.com/en/product/decouplers) which in turn was mounted to a shop-built TMD using a rubber core sandwiched between two foam plates. The rubber core works as both mass and absorbs additional vibrations. It was built following a paper, but unfortunately, that was around 7 years ago and I'm not sure I'll be able to dig the publication out again.

You can in fact simulate the TMD and do the tuning (see for example https://www.mathworks.com/help/simscape/ug/mass-spring-damper-in-simulink-and-simscape.html , though dedicated software packages also exist) but in all honesty, that will probably be overkill for your case.

Having your NAS sit on a 1/2" board of baltic birch plywood resting on a foam sandwich is probably going to do the trick in your case. You can easily create such a sandwich using foam, a rubber mat and some spray glue. Different foam densities will give different results and yield different "tunings" - you may have to play around with this a bit. I could imagine you'll most likely even be able to skip the second decoupling step (rubber feet/decouplers), in the aforementioned case the second decoupling allowed for another set of frequencies to be dampened (via a different overall rubber hardness) but also brought overall amplitude down.

Don't use super soft foam, as this will yield a wobbly base, something you probably want to avoid for your NAS. Also, make sure not to attach the base board to anything else apart from the foam, or you'll transmit vibrations again. If you don't like the appearance of the foam, you can build a small fence around it that goes up to the top of the base plate.

All that being said, there are also ready-made solutions like speaker dampening feet available: https://www.amazon.com/Tertullus-Speaker-Isolation-Feet-Anti-Vibration/dp/B09QC2L7N3

Most of them are made to decouple subwoofers, so they might fit into the frequency spectrum you specified. Those couls certainly be an affordable and rather quick way to solve the problem.

A 4yo has no business having unrestricted access to media, let alone YouTube. Current recommendations are 20 to 45 minutes a day at that age, depending on country / organization.

YouTube has so much questionable content, kids shouldn't be in a position to be able to click next and consume that crap.

YouTube kids exists since 2015, but Elsagate happened around 2017/18, so I don't exactly trust their content moderation.

Just in case you're not in on the joke:

You mean the company that had a feature in place that allowed law enforcement to request and access video footage from your devices without obtaining a warrant first?

As expected, their security measures were also found to be lacking.

Yeah, no thanks.

Jaguars actually eat the leaves of b. capii, which acts as a MAOI in the Ayahuasca brew.

While there is some discussion that the harmala alkaloids in b. capii might also be slightly psychoactive in high doses, the actual main compound in Ayahuasca is DMT, which is certainly very psychoactive, but not bioavailable when consumed orally without a MAOI. Unless the jaguars have figured out how to combine the two and/or brew ayahuasca, I strongly doubt that's their intention and that they'd get comparable effects.

I think the idea stems from the BBC show Weird Nature showing a jaguar eating yage leaves in episode 6, "Peculiar Potions".

I'm not really sold on how well that content was researched.
