spent the past few days trying to diagnose a crank/no start on my car. no codes. suspected it was the fuel pump this whole time. finally had a friend just try rocking the whole car back and forth to disturb the contents of the tank. it worked!!!

This is a more poorly lit eye, but it was physically closer, so i was more willing to risk a slower shutter speed(1/500) to get the ISO down(450). Great opportunity when it was a captive audience! (drinking from a feeder) 🪶

mildly annoyed that siriusmo released an entire album a month ago and didn’t notify me personally (kidding)

saw an IVAR a while back, didn’t like the price, built it out of $65 worth of lumber instead. takes advantage of our house’s absurdly high ceilings and is built in a way that everything fits in an altima for ease of trips to the hardware store. someday i will have a small crappy truck

i bought the cheapest $400 hotpoint dishwasher 3 years ago and genuinely don’t understand why $1000 is considered a good price for one. you don’t need stainless trim and a boatload of sensors that can render the appliance inoperable. i can disassemble and repair any part of it in about 15 minutes.

OTD in 1958 at 4:35 PM MST at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, experienced chemist Cecil Kelley, 38, stood on a step ladder peering through a viewport into a 1,000-liter stainless steel tank holding what he believed to be dilute aqueous and organic plutonium solutions as he switched on the stirrer.

amazing how many talks at c3, defcon et al boil down to "we looked at the protocol format and it's as though nobody ever thought to do this before"

‘I began to wonder if there was anything significant to write about. But when I began to investigate photovoltaics, I found that here was a success story that begged to be told… …1973, annual output pv ~20-30 kW, next year doubled. In 1978, 1 MW - 1998, >100 MW’ Space to Earth, John Perlin, 1999

NEW LOSCIL EP / photo zine!!! "Musically, Ash [joins my] more sparse and somnambulant works like stases, coast/range/arc// and Umbel. It embodies the stillness of a forest after a wildfire. There’s a similar feeling in the desert. Life at its arid edge." loscil.bandcamp.com/merch/ash-ph...

This is totally normal

I tore apart the original receiver hardware and built UV and backlighting LEDs, cooling components, and driver circuitry into the space left behind. Wrote code to control brightness, LED animations, etc. I wanted it to look stock until you turn it on, revealing the fluorescence.

i’m not sure what kind of magic with a k occurred when i plugged a ps4 controller into bazzite, but it has immediately paired in a way so native that i don’t even have to press PS+share for bluetooth pairing anymore

a really neat way to couple sheet metal to a motor shaft. I leaned this from photocopier teardowns.
