Most of the damage is in an industrial area just south of the runway, but, yeah not ideal

An image describing the sight lines of several common trucks, plus an M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank and a Peterbilt 587 semi-trailer tractor. From shortest sightlines to longest: Peterbilt 587: 6.25m F250 Super Duty: 8.5m Silverado: 8.85m M1 Abrams tank: 9.45m Ram: 10.35m Sierra 2500 HD: 10.6m The differences are worse if you measure the distance required to see a small child, with the Abrams tank faring the best.

Went on an adventure today chasing down some of the relics of Louisville's interurban system. The right-of-way of one of the lines is still used as a utility easement, and this old building, now a tiny post office, was a station building.

They also claim to be the only coding tool that runs code on hardware

I guess I wasn't aware that all the other ones were using magic!

I've been brave, but I've never been "route an nvme pcie expander board through 0.1 inch headers on production hardware" brave
A small NAS box, opened, with the nvme daughterboard visible. It has 4 nvme connectors, and a 2x20 2.54mm connector to the mainboard.

some programs are so actively user-hostile that creating them ought to be treated with the same level of public health concern as a radiation leak
A screenshot of model-train diagramming tool "Templot", with a crossover shown on screen. The interface is stunningly antiquated for a program in active development in 2025.

An exploded view of both a male and female MC4 connector. The female connector has a protruding socket, the male connector has a recessed pin. Meme template, mischievous-looking smiley face rubbing its hands together: "When the connector got a really transexual notion of male and female"

Ah, so I guess that glue wasn't foam safe, then
A pink foam tiered block, the base of a diorama, on a hobby workbench. It was a large canyon running down the middle, carved by an incompatible glue.

Gelli printing is a trip, it's so tough to figure out how a magazine or image is going to pull, and what paints are gonna work best
Two colorful prints on a table, both contain vague collages in blue, pink, purple, and black. On the right, the outline of a bird is clear.
