But how can we trust that your Standardized Banana is standardized to the correct standard? Has it been certified?

I don’t want no Metric Standard Banana (MSB).

I just did front brakes on my mk4 Jetta…. in the middle of a west coast snowfall, aka “the world is ending, just like last year!”

Simpler, cleaner design than industrial equipment, and that stuff is made to be worked on by gorillas like me. Actual work time was less than shoveling it out of 14” of falling snow.

All hail the manual shitbox!

Honestly, there’s going to be a hard peak to how fast a 3D printer can go, because physics. Unless we start running prints in a vacuum and start tuning local gravity….

This same issue happened during wildfire season in BC, Canada if I recall. A small polite media outrage over it, then forgotten.

Best case scenario would be an independent, international system developed within and for the emergency services community worldwide. Judging by the way firefighters travel internationally to fight forest fires worldwide, the community could be strong enough to support a solution like that, in my opinion.

There was a fire at one of my local (Canadian) ones, and it seemed like it was closed rebuilding for almost a year, I’m wondering how much delay was investigation and how much was remediation.

Burnt plastics is one of the more rancid things I’ve come across in my industrial career.

Honestly, with how loud and nasty organized religion has been in North America this decade, it reminds me of a concept in training I came across recently called Extinction Bursts (https://study.com/learn/lesson/extinction-burst-psychology.html).

Basically tantrums because the thing that used to work, doesn’t work anymore, and testing if just Trying the Same Thing Harder will get them what they want.

This project looks like a jump up from Seattle’s various tiny homes villages (Nickelsville, Othello, etc), which are around 120sq.ft each and don’t have running water, if I recall. Those are considered temporary housing, but this is a like a next step up.

Curious how these ones interact with building codes, etc, being more permanent.

Either way, people who haven’t frozen to death, been stabbed, or OD’d have more options for recovery and moving forward.

TL:DR for the folks at home:

“The things the women in your life are doing, is providing service for the people around them….”

“Women also want a break, but we don’t get one if no one in our lives gives us one. [note: or if we take it, with all the risks that may or may not entail.]

No, it’s not just women; yes, it often is women due to social factors.

I’ve started to pay more attention to Costco’s “price per unit” entries on those tags, I just wish that other stores that have lots of comparable items side-by-side would do it.

My vet gives a probiotic any time she prescribes an antibiotic now, it’s called Fortiflora and it’s a packet you sprinkle over their food. Maybe ask about something like that?

My dog taking chemo also has a standing prescription for an anti-nausea drug. If it’s this constant for your dog, you should ask your vet about options for the next couple of week.

I realized a latent autoimmune disorder instead! Winner!

My cats will try and murder me for these, they give no shits about any other crackers or human non-meat food, but I’ve had one literally try and eat one out of my mouth. Makes me question what’s really in them….
