The context is obviously software development...So this popped up in a Discord chat I'm in, and I've decided to leave it here with no context....
USS Samuel B Roberts: World's deepest shipwreck discovered
The US Navy ship "Sammy B" sank off the Philippines in a ferocious WWII battle with the Japanese.www.bbc.com
Given that the tin cans at Samar fought off the freakin' Yamato, it's a tragedy that the Montana class battleships didn't get built and named after them.
Say, instead of all these Admirals and Presidents, howsabout we name the next four ships of the Ford class "Samuel B Roberts", "Johnston", "Heerman", and "Hoel". We've already interrupted the "name it after brass" tend with Enterprise and Doris Miller, let's make it permanent.
And a star trek fan judging by the shape of the logo... Going on like this, it won't be long and the space force will be renamed to the nerd forceSomeone's a Stargate fan
Heh, we have an industrial solution for that, for which I developed much of the software side. A bit too expensive for a timelapse of a couple plants growing though, I'm afraid. Unless you happen to have a serious research grant for observing them.Planning to do a few long term (days, maybe weeks) timelapse projects with plant growth etc as subject. Outdoors. Got a 10W solar panel (the size of an open notebook) to basically charge, or keep charged, a baseline Xiaomi phone with a high capacity battery running a timelapse app.

Most of our customers are construction companies...
I just realized: Canadians have a reputation for being very polite. Canada geese, on the other hand, have a reputation for being quite grumpy.
Shouldn't they be called Jersey Geese?
Not sure if it's related to the whole Jersey Devil cryptid thing, but seems legit?

Yeah, tell me about it... I have all the code to actually parse animation sequences from files. I've written it way back when for IMS. The biggesst regret in hindsight is that I tried to emulate the Orbiter cfg syntax instead of just going for json...The idea was good... but not good enough.
