Recently I saw a meme showing some poor crewman with his window facing the red glow of a warp nacelle, but I've lost it now.

Does anyone know where I can find it?

I think homelessness and despair cause mental illness and substance abuse. If we can prevent "normal" people from losing their homes, I think they would be more stable and able to take care of themselves long term.

Allowing homelessness is far more costly to everyone else than preventing it.

I rented a Bolt EV from Hertz once. The car was fine, but the charging stations in the area were mostly broken, or they required downloading an app and giving personal information to charge.

I got the feeling the charging networks are all about collecting government incentives and the sale of private information from subscribers, and not at all about service.

My new preferred rental car is no rental car at all.

I enjoyed the humor, but the OP did set a boundary of [serious].

So I guess what we are learning here is that setting boundaries is always going to provoke some people to break those boundaries out of spite.

I think ebike, scooter, etc. usage will increase even more if we mod infrastructure to be safer for everyone.

Is porn intake measured in sieverts or mW/cm² or what?

What level is considered safe?

Asking for a friend.

Linton notes that the agencies purposely divided the 405 expansion into segments under one mile to qualify as ‘auxiliary lanes’ that are not subject to a full environmental review.

It should surprise no bros that Southern California still wants to add one more lane to fix traffic.

After the last expansion project, traffic on I-405 only got worse. Metro wants to try again.

Under the proposal, Metro will “add and shift Measure R (Metro 2008 countywide sales tax) Multimodal Highway Subregional Program funds to various projects, mostly freeway lanes/ramps expansion and arterial streets/intersections expansion,

I knew XMPP as Jabber, and I remember being delighted when I tested messages between my Jabber accounts and my Gmail account.

From my limited experience with laying up carbon fiber, I know there's the raw carbon fiber cloth and there's liquid resin that you spread into the cloth. It's also very common to see carbon fiber cloth that is "pre-impregnated" - the resin is already applied to the cloth. Everyone calls this "pre-preg".

So I've seen a lot of folks online scratching their heads about "how can carbon expire?" or "my carbon fiber (bike/boat/etc.) is N-years old, is it expired?" but I think the most likely thing to expire is the resin. Once the resin is cured it is much more stable.

Any materials folks or structures engineers who want step in and correct me, please do.
