I had a Mazda MX-6 as my first car. Not super rare but I’ve only ever seen 2 other ones.

Currently I have an 09 Lexus GS460. Only 1600 total built and only 56 in 2009 so it’s exceptionally rare but no one cares.

Turns out a $65000 V8 sedan didn’t sell well when gas was $4/gal and the economy was in shambles.

Yeah WD 40 is great for adhesive removal. I used it all the time on materials that can’t stand up to acetone or harder solvents. Just wash with IPA or dish soap after so you don’t have slippery shoes.

I mean, collecting only nazi stuff is weird. But I’m into history and if I had a bunch of other older military things I wouldn’t think it was weird to have an old nazi badge or something. Not to praise it or anything but it’s a real part of history.

9mm, safety, always off.

It is in the us. Imperial gallons are bigger than us gallons for some reason.

Sort of. I work closely with geophysics in the rock mechanics world. I don’t personally know if any machines that create folds at large scale due to the heat and pressure required but rock deformation is a big thing they do. I’ve built a few machines that do this.

Small scale experiments at the temperatures and pressures required are done using diamond anvils at extreme pressure and sometimes with laser heating.

Larger scale is done with giant hydraulic presses called triaxes that use confining pressures up to the Gigapascal level.

I am guessing the reason it’s done has something to do with mining and trying to solve material density problems.

This is definitely part of it. Oil companies have labs that run samples all day every day to study the density and porosity of rocks to see how much oil or gas they could hold when they’re trying to find new areas to drill.

Most of what I’m familiar with is research labs at universities where they are studying it to simulate tiny earthquakes. It’s just pure research to learn more about how the earth functions as a system. All rocks are different and all situations are different so the more data you collect the more you can understand exactly what happened during an earthquake and why. Maybe it can lead to better earthquake prediction or it can let us use those earthquakes to know more about the structure of the earth.

Quartz is a mineral. Jesus Marie!

Lmao I’m sorry. It’s a breaking bad reference.

Four members of the Arkansas supreme court are trying to jump to different seats on the bench, a situation that could empower the conservative governor by granting her more appointments. (boltsmag.org)

Voters are filling two supreme court seats in two separate nonpartisan elections. Neither seat’s current occupant is seeking a new term, so at first glance it may look like the cycle will add two fresh faces to the court. But of the six candidates running for these two seats, four are already sitting justices on the...

Me too :( love the state. Hate the government.

Glimpythegoblin ,

Ive been all over the US but I still love Fayetteville

Glimpythegoblin ,

Still 3-5% more possible buyers for your car by the logic I guess. Not that I agree with the system but marketing is fucked.

Looks like it, doesn’t it :)

Apple announces that RCS support is coming to iPhone next year (9to5mac.com)

In a surprising move, Apple has announced today that it will adopt the RCS (Rich Communication Services) messaging standard. The feature will launch via a software update “later next year” and bring a wide range of iMessage-style features to messaging between iPhone and Android users....

Glimpythegoblin ,

It already has support on Android. I send rcs messages to other friends with Android. Read receipts. No longer mms and sms. It’s great.

Glimpythegoblin ,

Wow. I’m disappointed this was posted.

Glimpythegoblin ,

Oof

Glimpythegoblin ,

You wouldn’t happen to be Zephram Cochrane would you?

Glimpythegoblin ,

Mindwoeld?

Glimpythegoblin ,

“moderates”

Glimpythegoblin ,

Or you could build a new and better building instead of patching up poor construction.

Glimpythegoblin ,

Yeah they’re cousins.

Glimpythegoblin ,

Yeah fuck all of us in Arkansas I guess.

Glimpythegoblin ,

You need to go outside dude.

Glimpythegoblin ,

I’ve been to most states, many large cities and travelled internationally. I only moved here a few years ago.

Not everywhere in the state is a backwater hellhole. I’m not happy with the politics here either, but I also dont interact with those people if I can avoid it.

Glimpythegoblin ,

Northwest Arkansas. The Ozarks, around the Buffalo river. Great place if you love mountain biking, hiking, camping, local music, breweries.

Southern Arkansas and the Delta near Mississippi and Tennessee is the bad part.

Glimpythegoblin ,

You know, of all the things to fix, an instant pot would make me nervous. Don’t mess with the safety valve.

Glimpythegoblin ,

I did that when I was a teenager. Way easier than trying to keep an illegal plant alive that smells strongly of weed.

Glimpythegoblin ,

The car won’t let you break it. Give it a try.

I got stuck on there the other day. If you tell the robot you want a human it instantly forwards you.

😵‍💫

Sarah Huckabee Sanders has been the worst thing to happen to this state in a while. I live here but she has really changed things here.

For being in the south, Arkansas is/was fairly libertarian and more aligned with western states as far as government was concerned, but for the last few years it has really regressed.

This made me want a mash type start trek series about a medical base during the war.

Oh shit, here we go again.

The dominance of cat content VS dog content on Lemmy reflects its current techie userbase

I originally joined Reddit in 2011, and in the beginning it was dominated by cat content. It was rare to see a post about dogs. Sometime in the mid 20-teens this phenomenon reversed. It’s always been a “pet theory” of mine that this reversal was due to Reddit becoming mainstream, and that it’s initial nerdy/techie user...

Pure toxoplasmosis

I’m surprised to see Lexus on that list.

Here is a good guide:

James Channel is good. Very new so there aren’t many videos but he does good technical dives and general nonsense with old arcade games and retro systems.

Also made a handheld super Nintendo with duct tape and hot glue.
