If Mark said this was a labor of love built over months, it would still be impressive, but somehow the Master Builder erected this epic wonder in just 24 hours.

Yeah, those are some serious Lego skills there.

cursing like a naboo

Are the Naboo… known for that?

Isn’t that only Pacific salmon? I thought Atlantic salmon could make the trip multiple times.

on my work computer, 99% of my issues are related to botched updates running in the background without my knowledge

I take responsibility for ~2% of the issues on my work system

Congrats on having 101% of your issues :)

Starbase activities (2025-04-25):

• Apr 24th cryo delivery tally.
• Build site: Ship lifting jig and the ship thrust simulator stand arrive at Megabay 2, suggesting a move of S36 to Massey’s is up next. (ViX, HarvardRogerS)

• Crews perform a second attempt at fitting a clamp arm in the Pad B launch mount. (ViX, Starship Gazer)
• Clamp arm animation from Killip.
• Launch site: “A new fire suppression system installed on the Pad A Launch Tower. This will either be for spraying down the tower before the booster returns for landing, or extinguishing fires on the vehicle after touchdown.” (Golden)
• Work on the Pad B gantry structure continues. (Starship Gazer)
• Road closures: 2-hour road delay is posted for Apr 26th between 12:00 and 16:00 for transport from factory to Massey’s.
• 2-hour road delay is posted for Apr 28th between 00:00 and 04:00 for transport from factory to Massey’s.
• 2-hour road delay was posted for Apr 29th between 00:00 and 04:00 for transport from Massey’s to factory, and subsequently ammended to between Apr 28th 22:00 and Apr 29th 06:00 for transport from factory to Massey’s.

McGregor:

• There is a possibility the vacuum engine spotted a couple days ago could be a Raptor 2, not a Raptor 3 as initially suspected. There is as yet insufficient data for a meaningful answer.

he would ring up expensive but wrong tires and then charge the customer. He would then get it refunded in cash and then charge them for the correct amount, then he would pocket the difference

Where were the cash refunds coming from? The customers, or the tire supplier?

“You have to be tri-lingual just to read the directions.”

Another one of my favourite lines. I also love how Calvin and Hobbes aren’t really talking to each other in this strip. They’re each voicing their own separate commentary.

First read this comic as a child, am now “grown-up”. Yeah.

However, the Stellantis cells are not all-solid-state (ASSB) units. They’re polymer-based semi-solid-state cells which focus on stabilizing the anode, the part of the cell where active material gets deposited during charging. This is more of an interim solution that could help pave the path towards ASSBs.

Still good, but not quite as good as the title.

Yeah, Lemmy needs more OC.

Isn’t that every squirrel? They’re just adorable arboreal rats.

These ones?

Some species, like T. ultimus, are estimated to be as large as the modern rhinoceros.

Thanks for the reply! Sounds good.

Deployment of 28 @Starlink satellites confirmed

Seconded. I’ve been wanting this for some time now. I think it is the feature I miss most from Joey For Reddit.

I think it should be native.

It will be, per Nutomic last year:

Here is the relevant issue, but no one is working on it currently.

Two weeks ago, Nutomic added a commit which “fixes #3069”. Maybe this feature is coming soon?

Sidebar and rules look good! Daily active users are trending upwards.

You might want to consider posting on !newcommunities@lemmy.world (as an “under new management” post) and on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca. I’d recommend spacing out the posts by a few days to reach more people.

Also, any idea what happened to Bee? Sal added Bee as a mod, Bee added you and Bitswap as mods, but now Bee’s account and comments have vanished.

Any idea what happened to Bee? Their profile page and comments have vanished.

Elon regarding Raptor 3:

“Many improvements still to come. The ugly, unreliable and heavy bolted flange between the thrust chamber and hot gas manifold will become a welded joint.”
