  • It would require Von Neumann machines to do it. Of, course, we could end up being turned into grey goo with that sort of tech.

    But, yeah, simply invent self-replicating nanotech. Shoot it at the moon, Mars, Ceres. Viola, data centers in space. Use the same tech to clean up the enviroment and eliminate oil dependence. Might as well rebuld the coral reefs and old growth forests. Also cures cancer and the common cold. And is the fountain of youth. And we all live happily ever after in the computer.

  • It do be like that

  • I often code directly on the machine control, including single blocking a running program and adding a line while the program is paused.

    Editor on older CNC machines usually doesn't even do lowercase and often has limited alphabet keys. Think '80s green or amber screen.

    A machinist's coding workflow can be real fucky. I go from CAM which is like a highly complex visual programming IDE to notepad. If I'm being fancy I use notepad++ for syntax highlights and diff'ing.

  • Got tired of paying high prices on razor blades, using disposables was wasteful, and the exponentially increasing number of blades wouldn't get under my nose.

    Switched to an old school Gillette Tech safety. Switched to Barbasol instead of the thicker stuff. Shaves better, cheaper, just as fast. No stupid rituals required. No shaving soap, mug, bristle brush or horseshit required. (I do recommend starting with one of the combo packs of razors to find the one you like).

    I even shave my balls with it.

    My son has his own tech, and has never tried any of the goofy 'modern' crap.

    This was a solved problem nearly 100 years ago. Funny how marketing works.

  • I like to mention this when the subject comes up.

    Late one night, slide under the truck with a 1/4" drill and a grease zerk fitting. Pop a hole in the muffler and screw in the fitting.

    Using a grease gun, add the filling of your choice: silicone, tar roof patch, etc. Maybe add some canned tuna for fun.

    This sailor probably enjoyed your hospitality back in the day.

    Thank you much!

  • Did you get your Limewire Wrapped?

  • That wasn't SOAD? What about the Metallica Imperial Stormtrooper march?

  • Sorry, I don't. I looked and can't find it.

  • What are some of the worst code you have seen in a production environment?

    Jump

  • G Code is basically a geometric scripting languge and isn't Turing complete in basic implementations. Every manufacturer pretty much also has their own dialect that is Turing complete.

    Gcode with control commands and variables is called, no shit, Macro G Code. It's Turing complete. That form of variable names is normal and is inherited from hardware registers/banks and TTL.

    It's not unusual for a save dialog to be labelled Punch as it has a direct lineage from punch tape.

    Kind of like assembly and a graphing calculator had an abortion together.

  • Yup, I was referring to seeing the original post the other day.

    On second thought, the fediverse girl one is probably the true first copypasta.

    I was there and witnessed the orginal.

  • U R so fucken wrong. I am the best driver.

    Idiots always be driving too slow in front of me or maniacs with a deathwish tailgating me. Wish everyone would get off of my road.

  • Trichocereus bridgesii, monstrose form. Called penis cactus or toothpick cactus depending on spines. T. bridgesii contains higher levels of alkaloids, including mescaline, than the more commonly used T. Pachnoi "San Pedro". The monstrose form is said to be particularly potent, although it is slower growing.

  • Porque no los dos?

    I've found that subs really dig it when you've machined your own spanky tools...

    Also, HAAS are some jank ass machines. Tiny ways, newer controls are glitter covered shit, they fucked up the remote handwheel...

  • Huh. I'm not sure how far back furries go.

    If not, it's certainly proto furry porn. Pretty sure it predates the formulation of Rule 34.

  • This is great info! I use the plain jane P100 instead of dust masks all the time.

    General respirator info for all my peeps:

    3M 6000 half face and 7000 full face series reapirators are where it's at. They're worth the money even if you only ever use it for home repair.

    I use one of them with the P100 disks all the time for dust, mold, grinding, drilling into possible asbestos, etc. Also effective against droplet born disease such as coronavirus. The organic vapor cartridge above also does particulate as a P100 (the organic vapor portion has a limited lifespan once opened, IIRC, but the filtration is indefinite). P100 particulate filtering lasts a long time, however, before they clog. Years with normal homeowner use.

    Read up on sizing. Most average cis male sized heads will be a large. Average cis female sized head is medium.

    If using a half face in an infectious or chemical environment, swim googles will protect your eyes.
