   Much more useful tips on how to start up properly can be found in the comments. OP seems to have been pretty ill-advised.

   I second the grandparent and would like to add that your name has stood out to me in quite a few stories you've told on HN. This is without a doubt one of the funnier and light-hearted ones, but I enjoy them all, and many had me thinki

   Given the current heat wave, it might be a case of "trains not running because it's too hot"? As opposed to, you know, "trains not running because it's too cold", e.g. because of icing on the overhead lines.

   To both of you I highly recommend watching Mars Express (2023 movie). It might not always be as straightforward.

   These airframes aren't physics, they're engineering.

    They are not symmetrical, the joint light field is rising towards the right for exactly this reason. However, this is always accounted for in the headlights themselves. There's no need to "misalign" them manually. ;)

    So, anyway, how's work progressing on the Torment Nexus?

    "In theory" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. ;) Depending on the product and quantity, you can factor your purchase price level times 2-10 for every level of sub- and sub-sub-supplier you want to have audited to your &quot

    Part of my job is to keep siloxanes out of a complex, multi-step, multi-sub-contracted manufacturing process. A supplier change that should have been a simple affair has cost us several kilobucks in analyses in the past months. I hate the s

    No no, it's third party sellers. There's absolutely nothing that can be done about that!

    No it won't. You're not "taking a stand". This isn't a bar fight. You're mistaking responsible defensiveness for cowardice, and passive-aggressiveness for civil courage. There is zero chance they'll recogn

    >Its steering wheel resembles the four spoke wheel found in BMW’s e36 3-series What? This is a standard issue Mercedes Benz W123 steering wheel, even the logo is right there. Why would the author need to refer to BMW?

    See my other comment - it's neither bamboo nor rattan, but a kind of asparagus.

    Akshually, it's an asparagus - dracaena sanderiana (or, usually erroneously, - braunii ). Thanks for inspiring me to look it up! I'm gonna have so much fun at the next party :D

    Your comment made me think of those helix-shaped bamboos from IKEA. While this is of course on a whole different level, it does suggest some kind of shaping is possible for bamboo as well. And it wouldn't take decades...
