  • I felt the same until some point in high school when I realized all food ultimately grows from recycled rot, so I decided to try liking mushrooms. It was a lot easier to overcome the texture of those than of raw tomato or onion and opened up a whole new world of umami flavor. Just wash them and cook them; there's no understanding the people eating them raw...

  • What ever happened to doing this with UHF RFID? Getting the cost of the individual chips down was always just a matter of scaling production.

  • I do wish Robertson heads were more common. They're almost as tough as torx, but tapered to stick on the tip of the tool, which is so convenient.

  • I'm a big proponent of buying government surplus office printers. I have this huge print center collater thing that came with more toner than I'll ever use in my life. $55

  • Human error is a far more reasonable explanation than complicated conspiracies, but I understand the thought. It really looked like that ship aimed for the bridge. Planning such a conspiracy would be far, far harder and more expensive to pull off than simple bridge failure, though.

  • Believe it or not, the insurance companies drive maritime safety requirements since they hate having to pay out for things like this. The classification societies that regulate and inspect ships to approve for insurance coverage have very strict and well thought out safety requirements that get better any time a new failure mode is discovered.

    I personally think this one was human error in an emergency situation.

    Theory: They lost primary electric service and began a slight drift to starboard. When they got backup power online, they began a crash reverse to slow down. This would hinder rudder control since the ship was still going forward and now just creating turbulence with the prop. Reverse would torque the stern to port, swinging the bow to starboard, as we saw. The bow thruster was offline due to the power issues.

  • Five comments down, maybe, but I'll take what we can get.

  • Do people really not appreciate simple trolling around here anymore? Everyone's acting like they think this is serious, and that's the most disturbing part.

  • I imagine those other targets are in much better positions to prevent such attacks right now. Russia is kind of busy elsewhere, so maybe they were seen as a better target with a higher chance of pulling off an attack.

  • But... there's no i?

  • US Subs has offered these for decades and they're a legit commercial submarine firm. I'm not sure anyone actually wants to buy them.

  • Seriously, it's great to see Valve digging deeper into my heart with improvements to services like this.

  • Title

  • I particularly appreciate the armored cow.

  • The cheap, dumpy masks are still going to somewhat reduce your intake of particles and significantly reduce your output, which is their main point.

  • The fact it's almost believable is both real and a serious problem.

  • Not with any pci-e expansion sockets. I'm not even sure it could address a proper pci-e GPU.

  • That would be pretty impressive, actually.

  • FYI, it's "hear, hear" as in, hear this, hear this.

  • Yeah, the US public is much more aware now than they were in 1967.
