I doubt it.

I’m US based. I’ve been to Mexico, Italy, and Ireland. I still feel like a dumb American that thanks of Europe like Disney land. Like it’s just a place to take vacations and not a place where hundreds of millions of people live and work and have complete lives.

I don’t feel well traveled at all.

I wanted to say fuse…

Fire sprinkler heads have a little glass vile filled with a glycerin based liquid holding the valve closed. When they heat up beyond a certain point, the liquid expands and bursts the vile, releasing the water from the sprinkler head. Note: only the sprinkler head exposed to the fire will dispense water, not the entire system as seen in movies. Also note: that water has been setting in an iron pipe for probably years and is absolutely disgusting.

Similarly, some commercial kitchens have a fuse-able link, which is a metal link in a chain made of some metal with a low melting point. When there’s a fire this link will melt and cause the roll up door between the kitchen and the rest of the building to slam shut.

After writing this I realize that it doesn’t necessarily answer the spirit of the question. But I guess these parts fail to protect the rest of the building, so maybe it does answer the question.

Not only the quality of the late game in the original. But I remember really liking how combat was only one option and you could talk your way through most situations if you wanted or use stealth or some other option. Until a certain point in the game and it was like I had built my character around this aspect and all of a sudden in the late missions combat was the only option and I was just getting slaughtered and giving up.

Please don’t be first person only.

Star Wars the Force Awakens. I remember being super toked when the trailer came out. The movie it self was a B- at best.

This sucks. I have a spot on my shelf reserved for banned books. Whenever I used to see a new banned book pop up in the news, I’d go grab a copy. It happens so often now I can’t keep up anymore. I hope the librarian lands on their feet maybe moves to an area that appreciates the amazing service they’re providing.

Good. Tariffs are stupid. They’re a tax on the people and only serve to slow adoption of green energy technologies.

And people who leave their dogs outside all the time. It’s hot out there for them too.

Same. I dig through my digital stack of games I bought on sale and will probably never play until I find the one I was looking for.

Wuggies.

That’s radar love right there.

What are your thoughts on the new Sony walk man? I feel like this thing can’t possibly have an audience.

Shower team for me too.

Didn’t know this community existed or what it was. Started looking for one.

These are great write ups. Much appreciated.

Crazy awesome setup! I noticed you had an enphase inverter next to your electrical meter, I assume for solar panels. Would you mind giving details about that system? What size array do you have and how efficient has it been? How are you monitoring the solar systems output?

I reading the network+ textbook by Mike Meyers. Riveting. If you’re looking for hard science fiction though, I would recommend “Revelation Space” by Alastair Reynolds. This whole series is incredible.

I couldn’t agree more, this is how they get you. One of the things I miss the most about being a student is access to software. Auto desk gives you completely free access to their entire catalog as long as you’re a student. A professional license for AutoCAD or Revit will set you back $2000 a year or more, every year. However, If you work for a company they will probably pick that up but if you’re a freelancer or even if you work for a small firm, that licensing fee can be really costly.

I graduated with a BS in electrical engineering in May of this year. We used Matlab in multiple courses in the program. We were encouraged to purchase the student version of Matlab. However, all three professors in the program were 100% ok with students using Octave or whatever software you wanted, as long as the work got done.

Your professor sounds like a dick.
