Same in northern Michigan in mid summer. And most of New England as well.
- Comment on Are 'micro-apartments' converted from offices the answer to the housing crisis? 5 months ago:
Most houses in my area are wooden and at least 60 years old. And there are plenty of 100+ and 200+ wooden homes too.
I thought the reason Japan has so many younger homes was all the carpet bombing in WW2. Same with German housing stock.
- Comment on What Ever Happened to Netscape? 5 months ago:
Saved a lot of memory. Even though we had upgraded to 24mb in our Mac Performa at the time.
- Comment on Can I not be an adorable junkie 5 months ago:
Yup the real 1984 is all corpo-advertising driven.
Well, that and wannabe fascists.
- Comment on Help Identify This Connector 5 months ago:
Here’s the important part of your looking to re-pin this type of connector:
Aptiv Sicma Interconnect Sealed Headers are offered in 6, 24, 56, or 90 cavity count (ways) in 1, 2, or 3 rows with 1.5mm, 2.8mm, or mixed cavity configurations.
Looking at Delphi 1.5 or 2.8 connectors might get good results too.
- Comment on Drink it, I dare ya 5 months ago:
I would thing the plastic lining in that container would probably be high on the bonding list, but I haven’t taken a chemistry class in 24 years.
- Comment on Opened an old scientific instrument to see if it works... 5 months ago:
Coca Cola works really well if you don’t have citric acid on hand. I’ve cleaned car battery terminals with it a bunch of times (over decades). The only bummer is that it’s sticky, but you can drink the leftovers.
- Comment on 3D printed cloverleaf antenna maker 5 months ago:
Looks like stamped or laser cut pieces that then need bending in the 3rd dimension.
Then soldering a coaxial connector or wire to each half to finish them.
- Comment on I have the weirdest aesthetic preferences 6 months ago:
The error correction isn’t enough to overcome a bad background?
My memories of the early days of designing these things for ad clients (we’re talking 2010-11) were that like 20% “damage” was allowed before scanning became difficult. So of course my art director wanted to put cutesy shit all over them to be “unique”.
I just didn’t want the client to ask when it didn’t work because their phones didn’t like them.
- Comment on I hate how anything without "world" in its name is just about the US 6 months ago:
I took German in highschool, but all that’s left is: Darf ich aufs Klo gehen?
- Comment on You'll have to use pto time to drown, but make sure it's approved first 6 months ago:
Did it wash into the building, or just the people in the parking lot trying to save their means of transport that allows any type of work in most parts of this country?

In hindsight, your job is probably secure now that they are short staffed (which is fucking disgusting).
- Comment on Sample Text 6 months ago:
Could be his dad for now old it is, but now I’m wondering if this is where he got his hair style from.
- Comment on All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases, Which May Explain The Company’s Apprehension Towards A Launch 6 months ago:
Yeah, iPhones have similar modes, swipe down and the screen scrolls down you can also swipe the keyboard to either side for better access too.
I hardly ever do that though, except by accident.
- Comment on If Trump loses the election and flees to another country to avoid his sentencing in his (multiple) lawsuits, does the Secret Service have to go with him? 6 months ago:
That’s also not the look of a man with much of anything in his head.

Where $5 foot longs are now on sale for $11.99, and still aren’t a foot long.
