I didn't say it was for full-motion video or arbitrary images. Interactive calibration is possible.

4N is hard to beat because it can hold dozens or hundreds of components in place for one-pass of through-hole soldering versus needing to flip the board each time and 3 "hands" to hold 1 or 2 components. Lindstrom and Piergiacomi

Still not proof of terrorism. That's only evidence of bad judgement.

That might be why the plasma rifle and the BFG don't work if it embeds a shareware WAD file. See also: https://archive.org/details/DoomsharewareEpisode

It's funny. Some of the physical wall art I collect has a similar character of walking the line of tacky, like a psychopathic 16-year-old bully's pin-up spank fodder from the '80s, to exuding inherent value independent of sex

Ryder rented both vehicles used in Oklahoma City and '93 WTC. This is a meaningless grasping at straws unless we want to forbid rental vehicles entirely because of what 1:10 million outliers might do with them. Maybe we ought to figu

Apply Hanlon's razor. There was zero shrapnel and most of the force blew upwards. It definitely could've been a really poor use of judgement of storing flammable gasoline and fireworks in a confined space that then found an igniti

I feel the same way about Ideal-tek PCSA-4N through hole components PCB holder. Often, there are better tool(s) for a job. Lindstrom or Piergiacomi (Hakko or Piergiacomi branded) flush cutters.

IDSPISPOPD, IDKFA, and IDDQD work but the only weapons that work are the chainsaw up to the rocket launcher.

Yes. That's the compounded price because the cheapest retail price of Wegovy for 4 weeks near me is $1311. It's compounded with vitamin b6 as a hackaround for $250. The manufacturing of semaglutide outside of Novo Nordisk was lega

Had to look it up because I can't remember nitty-gritty details: DD manufacturer under class 10 FFL or class 2 SOT. I imagine the various types of insurance needed to operate such a business are expensive and painful too.

Not true. 16 colors at a time. EGA had a color palette of 64 colors. Depending on the card, precise palette cycling can be used to appear to have all 64 colors available so long as too many different pixels aren't used too close toge

The short-barrel shotgun (SBS) (modified or original) without an NFA tax stamp is the holding charge. They're working on determining if was just unlicensed destructive devices (DDs) or there were specific terroristic plans. That's

Yeah. I don't think even Brandon Herrera would advocate for privately-owned WMDs. Perhaps the initial and continual suitable personal stability and trustworthiness for owning different categories of mass-casualty-capable weapons should

There exist private ownership of artillery field pieces and Bofors L/60 40 mm autocannon in America. The thing though is that any sort of exploding shell requires a DD NFA tax stamp for each.

Pipe bombs can be legally owned by private parties with an DD NFA tax stamp. They probably require a certain type of BATF manufacturer cert to make as well.

Something (Wegovy) I need for medication-induced obesity, but cannot afford ($250/month or $3k/year out of pocket) because Medicare won't cover it. Even when it is "covered", it's a "specialty tier medicat

Anything fun in life is illegal, immoral, fattening, or dangerous. In high school chemistry, I once superheated magnesium in a covered crucible and then blew on. That was fun.

In the 90's, Tower Records sold The Anarchist Cookbook no questions asked. Its recipes didn't appear very well researched and some seemed outright lethal or impossible.

Exactly. Dynamic languages that allow self-modification create tech debt and bugs implicitly, which is why I prefer statically-compiled languages that have stable ABI/API guarantees. When there are too many "freedoms", there

Corporations' motivations rarely coincide with deep, consistent systems strategy, and largely operate reactively and in a manner where individuals get favorable performance reviews for adding profitable features or saving costs.

I wonder if Jeff Bezos also hoses-down Blue Origin workers with ice-cold water to passive-aggressively attack demands of livable wages and sensible working conditions for Amazon warehouse workers.
