@jalcine election theatre is an expensive business

@futurebird without even any context i just have to ask:

show us the cat

@lanodan @a1ba I love the succession over time too. This station absolutely belongs to Tama's spirit.

@lanodan @a1ba there is absolutely no cringe about this car, it is one of the most wholesome things ever

I've been looking for this dumb sign for years and it finally reappeared on my Facebook feed. Behold, the Tingly Bridge Warning.
@MLE_online I think I was trying to find it in relation to some discussion of this zappy nonsense we were having.

@a1ba asdtokfjhaisdfguioaerujhg I love these ridiculous drama noodles SO MUCH

@foone oh you're missing an opportunity to make it even sillier

ip delivery over ethernet using MoCA converters

@foone that and connections to Stockton, Tracy, Davis, Sacramento, Vacaville, and Fairfield at least

@foone I need to show this to my German bilingual coworker and ask him if he can make it switch on the fly

@kaia this reminds me of the behavior of my weird hacked together Nixie clock that uses a long cascade of 7490 counters, when you first plug it in, it will come up with some strange invalid mess until you rapid-advance it. It's a limitation of the way the reset to 0 and gates are wired back to the outputs; it will trigger a reset when the 10 minutes digit tries to count to 6, for instance, but it can wind up in some other impossible states without tripping it

@kaia What is that style of pin lock called? I've had a couple of knives over the years that have had that, and it's my favorite mechanism for a folder - it holds the blade in place very solidly with very little friction.

@kaia @maia hmm. ProsePriest?

every time I have to touch vmware esxi it makes me feel a little less like I'm not living in a simulation where everything is completely and totally broken and actually running on a bunch of moldy cauliflower rice someone abandoned in their desk when their job got "right-sized" five years ago #fnord

@pony i would strongly suggest it, it looks amazing

@synx508 Reminds me a little of the way the iris/paint controls work on our Sony camera remotes at work - if it's in relative mode (and it usually is), the absolute position of each control is ignored when you push panel enable, but further movement of it affects the control. It's all good until you go to try to, say, iris down and the iris joystick is too close to or sitting on one of the end stops, you have to turn off panel enable, move it, and turn it on again.

@synx508 these guys

The R/G/B level and black level pots, master black (ring around the iris lever) and the iris lever itself are all like that, they all have endstops.

The little wheels under the LCD are 360 degree rotary encoders though.

@thanius I wanna boop the dark lord!!!

@ryanc ah okay. It's probably just perspective then.

I do have a kinda broad torso and shoulders, though... haha

Today I learned about the absolute bonkers layout some of the Caltrain bilevel commuter cars have. Just positively unhinged.

Do you have to crab-walk down that miniscule aisle on either side of the top level? I just plain wouldn't want to go up there at all, there's no way in hell it's easy to get out in an emergency

@7666 well that was probably momentarily expensive
