Used to be you could include a page with nothing on it. Now that everyone’s gone woke you have to let the world know the page is intentionally left blank
I saw one article where they said the machine has to stop its descent to do the acoustic structural measurements shit, and that they planned to pause and get readings every hour
Which sounds fucking crazy, that is nowhere near often enough I’d think. A fucking lot can change in an hour, and when the thing reaches its limit you know it’s not gonna be a “oh, we better deal with this soon”, but instead an essentially instantaneous rupture
I do know that actual non-failure engineering projects can use sounding hammers and acoustic shit like that to assess the structural soundness of tanks for fluids etc., in general it is a valid technique. But it looks like in this instance it was a pretty big flop
In the West, authorities have to create elaborate Rube Goldberg-style scams with CIA cutouts literally called “OceanGate” in order to curtail a single billionaire
Rockin that 9/11 truck banner, feels classic
I didn’t realize that there was potentially a single gen other than 1 that people could coalesce around. I’ve played since 1 but get do get tired of seeing them, would definitely prefer a better mix.
Ironically, though, gens 5 and 6 are the only ones I’ve never had a physical copy of and am consequently the least familiar with them
We’ve got under sink 3-stage (not reverse osmosis) and it seems pretty decent. I’ve been meaning to get the regular tap vs filtered tap tested at a home improvement store, but it just hasn’t happened yet
I’ll also say that tapping a supply line for a water filter was my introduction to basic “around the house” casual plumbing, which is mostly fucking with shutoffs. I’d definitely recommend it for anyone interested
