Allegorical humor is the best humor!

-Plato, probably.

Subtle! I like it!

I like the app or website called "A Better Route Planner". It lets you set up your vehicle and select what your criteria are for chargers. For instance, I like to make sure there are at least 2 charging units in case one is out of order.

I believe this is the inside of an industrial, water-tube boiler. Like where it is being manufactured. If you look in the upper left, you can see tubes to be welded in. It isn't a perfect match, but those openings in the pipes look like where blowdown piping would go in. Source, I designed piping systems for these.

Edit: If you click on the small images on this page you can see a lot of piping that looks just like this: https://balcke-duerr.com/en/service-solutions/boiler-projects-services/

That said, it is really difficult to get a sense of scale here and this could be some much smaller heat transfer device that just uses the same design.

This is the kind of crap that still brings me to the Internet! Thanks to whomever had this ridiculous thought and said, "I'mma make that a thing."

I haven't started to DIY yet, but after reading Becky Chambers' book, A Psalm for the Wild Built, I started researching mycelium building construction materials and am now several days down a rabbit hole of learning the pros and cons of various mushroom and substrate types. Will I do anything with it? No idea, but it is cool and provides buildings that will last if the natural, casein waterproofing is maintained, but will decompose quickly once abandoned or demolished and actually feed the ecosystem.

Weirdly, the only parts of the Internet that I'm really liking these days are Hacker News, Lemmy and the one part that I do pay for, which is Kagi Ultimate. It is very refreshing not to be the product and I do occasionally need to use a search engine for something.

Total Waffle!

Tell me more about this salad! Is there a recipe you like?

I appreciate what you're doing here and I really wish I had better news to contribute, but the wife and I both have COVID (mild symptoms), so it will truthfully just be a sweat pants and T-shirt weekend. Just for you I'll make it one of my Arc'teryx shirts.

Angry upvote.

It totally would have been clear, had I paid attention to where things came from in my main feed. I'll be more careful in the future and I hope I didn't cause any offense.
