The output is sorted due to the fact that for each number, a timer is started that prints out the number after waiting a number of milliseconds equal to said number.

Therefore, 1 is printed first after delaying for 1 millisecond, 5 is printed second after 5 milliseconds etc.

The comic highlights the differences in the portrayal of women and men in media, often oversexualizing women in any number of contexts.

A medieval maid milking the cows would probably not have looked (or smelled) like a supermodel.

If my limbs would operate using hydraulics, I'd love for my dead body to be repurposed like that. Mount my carcass on a mobile platform and have me grab things from the top shelf while I shed flakes of decaying flesh, constantly surrounded by the scent of rancid fat and formaldehyde. Give me purpose beyond death.

A 4yo has no business having unrestricted access to media, let alone YouTube. Current recommendations are 20 to 45 minutes a day at that age, depending on country / organization.

YouTube has so much questionable content, kids shouldn't be in a position to be able to click next and consume that crap.

YouTube kids exists since 2015, but Elsagate happened around 2017/18, so I don't exactly trust their content moderation.

I have absolutely done that in the past, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I can slice off exactly how much I want, getting a good feeling for the portion size. The noodles stick together, there is no unfurling and subsequent mess when transferring them to a dish. They'll loosen up a bit when heated, but stick together enough to offer a superior eating experience - just cut a piece off and consume.

That's a pretty normal picture if you have regular, social interactions. What's weird is posting that anywhere outside your circle of friends and the picture becoming the topic of public debate after one of the subjects allegedly shot someone.

That being said, and I say this as a married, retired old fuck - that guy definitely fucks.

You mean the company that had a feature in place that allowed law enforcement to request and access video footage from your devices without obtaining a warrant first?

As expected, their security measures were also found to be lacking.

Yeah, no thanks.

They actually joke about it in the show, screaming "Aah, a crocodile", and it's just some woman working there. Same with the director being a lion, I believe.

The exhibit has turtles and penguins.

I'm a big fan of archive.org and I regularly look for manuals, but they don't show up in common searches as a source, so knowing that now is really helpful. Thanks!

Some context:

After Elmo's venture into posting anime stuff on Twitter, this feels rather tame I guess. Or I'm just too jaded to care about this timeline any longer.

As someone who often lifts a finger, types out the first two sentences of a comment and then just resigns: thanks for the well-written comment.

I believe it doesn't really matter much whether you want to protect the environment from vibrations of the machine vs. protecting the machine from vibrations of the environment - in both cases, decoupling the systems is what you want to achieve.

Eventually, you want to build a TMD: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuned_mass_damper

I personally had to deal with the case of a large format CNC machine transferring stepper motor vibrations into an adjacent office via the wall-mounted brackets it was sitting on. People started to complain shortly after installation since the noise was very audible in the otherwise quiet working environment.

The solution involved placing the machine on a plate mounted via rubber decouplers (see https://www.dayco.com/en/product/decouplers) which in turn was mounted to a shop-built TMD using a rubber core sandwiched between two foam plates. The rubber core works as both mass and absorbs additional vibrations. It was built following a paper, but unfortunately, that was around 7 years ago and I'm not sure I'll be able to dig the publication out again.

You can in fact simulate the TMD and do the tuning (see for example https://www.mathworks.com/help/simscape/ug/mass-spring-damper-in-simulink-and-simscape.html , though dedicated software packages also exist) but in all honesty, that will probably be overkill for your case.

Having your NAS sit on a 1/2" board of baltic birch plywood resting on a foam sandwich is probably going to do the trick in your case. You can easily create such a sandwich using foam, a rubber mat and some spray glue. Different foam densities will give different results and yield different "tunings" - you may have to play around with this a bit. I could imagine you'll most likely even be able to skip the second decoupling step (rubber feet/decouplers), in the aforementioned case the second decoupling allowed for another set of frequencies to be dampened (via a different overall rubber hardness) but also brought overall amplitude down.

Don't use super soft foam, as this will yield a wobbly base, something you probably want to avoid for your NAS. Also, make sure not to attach the base board to anything else apart from the foam, or you'll transmit vibrations again. If you don't like the appearance of the foam, you can build a small fence around it that goes up to the top of the base plate.

All that being said, there are also ready-made solutions like speaker dampening feet available: https://www.amazon.com/Tertullus-Speaker-Isolation-Feet-Anti-Vibration/dp/B09QC2L7N3

Most of them are made to decouple subwoofers, so they might fit into the frequency spectrum you specified. Those couls certainly be an affordable and rather quick way to solve the problem.
