Hello. Happy national compliance officer day to those who celebrate

In other news, ROCN Chen De (PFG-1208), first ROCN Lafayette to complete life extension upgrades. No longer sporting the silly navalized AIM-9s - refitted with a indigenous VLS system and integrated with BAE's Type 997 Artisan

Had some extended time incommunicado due to business travel.

Obviously things are not great Bob but as far as I can tell, the folks doing nonstop screenshot posting and doomer shit on the interwebs don’t have any concrete roles in their communities or do work to make life better.

Well it’s the third time in 20 years that a new admin decided to throw a wrench into basic science research. Coincidentally always the same people who claim they want to be beat China.

Well that’s inconvenient.

The high efficiency furnaces that side vent with PVC are particularly vulnerable to this. Check them.

I ordered additional copies of birth certificates for my kiddo today and frankly the attack on jus soli is unworkable from an administrative perspective.

birth certificate issued by state and county authorities don’t necessarily include both parents and definitively do not record any information

Not much new can be said about Ichiro's amazing career and quirkiness. But I want to highlight the Ichiro school of functional fitness, stretching and not lifting insane weights and eating corndogs and chicken wings.

New ship, new gym, same view.

Mt. Whitney had a good gym setup. But I need to knock off the rust so I am ready for the CO PRT challenge in April. @concept2

Any other folks who remembered Sheldon Brown?

My memory of him was he was extremely opinionated about headsets and frowned upon annoying weightweenies but also recognized toxic masculinity before we had a term for it.

My 20+ year old plastic rice cooker cup is disintegrated and we bought a metal one.

The Anjin has an annual income of 250 koku.

1 koku is 1000 go.

That’s a lot of rice dude.

I am 40+ and I do not have chronic backpain and that's after shoveling snow and chipping ice.

I am not an anti-masker or covid denier.

But no one is leaving you behind. You can keep masking yourself. Demanding society to become Quarians re all respiratory diseases is nonsense.

At 10°F (~-12°C) the atmospheric density of dry air is about ~1.3 kg/m^3.

At 77°F (25°C) it is about the 1.168 kg/m^3.

That extra 11% density has implications in convective heat transfer, as well as apparent wind.

When it’s gusting 25 knots at 10°F - don’t be dumb.

of course it is steiner

This house makes no sense - what does Isis, Christ, Dragons, Norse Myths, Buddha, and the Zodiac have to do with each other. Was this house designed to give Marie Kondo a stroke?

That is, until you see this:
