Except for that mojoey cat, I hear he's pretty cool.

If you consider a .gif collection larger than one orbiter install with HD textures "cool".

Can't wait for October 21 of this year.


Miku visits Uchinoura Space Center

They're going to need a lot more of them if they want to assemble spacecraft.

we get reports of deaths of people walking along the railroad tracks on occasion. Often enough that people will get up in arms about the trains/speed/horns/crossing gates etc. Walking along the rails is trespassing, people don't realize that. Trying to "beat the train" is stupid!

When I was younger Southern had a good many safety announcements reminding people to "Stop - Look - AND Listen". My Grandfather worked for Southern after WWII until he retired in '90 (as the oldest and longest serving engineer on their books). I've got tons of memorabilia (and a really nice set of glassware) with the SR logo.

"Looks ahead for Safety"

Reminder to self - build a shadow box for all that stuff.

In a little over a year's time, I'll be going to Washington, D.C. to see the sights, including, most importantly, Discovery. :woohoo:

To any Orbinauts in the area, we should arrange to meet up if you're willing.

I forget how big a full Orbiter install with HD Textures is :facepalm:, but my amusing pictures folder is at 955.9 mb

I dread the day it passes a GB in size :lol:

Can anyone tell me what this is?

I found two of these living beings (not exactly if an insect or arachnid). I think they can be dangerous, so I ask

What's this?

Looks like a whole lot of NOPE!

Time to set Argentina on fire then.

@Matias: Google search seems to indicate they are "harvestmen", arachnids related to spiders. I couldn't Google that scariness for long though... you'll have to check my results.
Some results say harvestman just refers to daddy longlegs though. (which this is not) But there are image results showing what you have. So... follow links I guess.

At least, those tropical harvestman are not venomous. Only ugly as hell.

Believe it or not, daddy longlegs and this thing are in the same group, collectively known as harvestmen. None are venomous, despite the myths about daddy longlegs being extremely venomous but unable to pierce human skin.

Here's a weird one. When I plug the headphones into my phone, it starts playing the music via speaker, only at a very low volume. Tried with multiple pairs of headphones (which work fine on other devices) and got the same result. And it recognizes the headphones, because it pauses the music when I remove them.

Is it a Nokia?

 

[steph]

Nope, Samsung GT - I5500. I've had it for 4 years. Quite a sturdy old beast, really. I've used it mostly as a backup phone until my main one died. Had it doing timelapse videos most of the time. It went through a lot...including getting forgotten outside in the rain, cold etc etc, being dropped numerous times and getting taped to an RC plane, and apart from the headphone problem, it works fine.
My main one was a newer Galaxy Young model which, surprisingly, in not even 2 years of "normal" use, is basically falling apart, aspect and button-wise. It eventually developed a glitch in which it would spontaneously restart. I'm thinking it might be a problem with the start button, since it also likes to start on its own when I insert the battery and, while functioning, the start button (which also controls airplane mode etc) ocasionally doesn't respond. Did a factory reset, but to no use..

So they confiscated my Nutella at the airport. Apparently it was a liquid and in a handbag so it was a no-go. Seriously though, what were they afraid of? That the calories would suddenly explode out of the jar? It was even sealed and untouched, for probe's sake. And why is it a liquid if it doesn't even budge when you turn it upside down? Hell, even plastic is a liquid if you heat it long enough.

Maybe there were on to something :lol: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-31594956

Apparently, a Nutella jar set a house ablaze :tiphat: I mean, I knew it was a nice fuel to "burn" during my runs, but...setting off a fire? Just read now that an empy jar did the trick though. Can you imagine the damage it could have done if it were full? :lol:

Ah, man, you almost made me say something...
