How come the 131 foot altitude in the headline is never mentioned in the article? These turbine operates at 4,921 feet, a number that makes a lot more sense when you convert it to metric, 1.5 km. The article is littered with these odd imperial measurements that should have just been left as nice round metric numbers, or least re-rounded after conversion. 130 feet would have read better, but the original number was 40 m.


Yet another “Wag the Dog” attempt.


Yes Great Giana Sisters was heavily influenced by Super Mario Brothers, but someone has semi-recently ported SMB1 itself to the C64, using code from the original NES ROMs. Modern Vintage Gamer did a video on it yesterday, which may have inspired OP.


I’ve seen in the trailers that the
Tuvix
Scenario is in the game. I’m curious if the developers will have any way to generate statistics about which way players make that decision.


From the person who brought you “Pokemon Go to the polls”…


Technically more of an engineering / maker channel, but Xyla Foxlin is great. She does occasionally swear, but a 12 year old has probably heard those words before. Yeetmas, where she launches a Christmas tree rocket, would be a good place to start. (Not a Christmas tree themed rocket, a decorated pine tree on top rocket motor as long as your arm.)


Some of it is geography. The US and Europe are roughly the same area, but Europe has twice the population to draw from. In addition, for some events, each country is limited to only one or two entries, which means Europe gets to enter many teams.


Congress members got access to the unredacted Epstein files this week. I’m sure he’d love to reset the news cycle.


I don’t really trust any statistics put out by this administration, especially from DHS or the Justice Department.


Did you just assume that bug’s gender?


Admitting you have fire ants in your brain makes you ineligible for promotion. Yes, Starfleet needs to reform their mental health policies, but that’s how it’s written.


The Daily Beast includes Trump’s age whenever his name is in a headline.


“To” becomes “t0o,” but “too” is “t1o.”
You’ll need a lucite engine block to show off your shiny new pistons.


this fits with my understanding of cybersecurity and why we don’t mix data with directions.
Didn’t we learn this lesson 60 years ago when phone phreakers used their blue boxes to make free phone calls?
For anyone who hasn’t heard this one: When the Concorde flew at supersonic speeds, the airframe got hot enough that it expanded about a foot longer than it was on the ground. This opened up a small gap between the flight engineer’s console and the rear bulkhead of the cockpit. On each plane’s final flight, the flight engineers stuffed their hats into the gap, which then closed up after cooling off.


He’s right, but for all the wrong reasons.
Trump needs spray tans because his skin is so thin it’s transparent.
