Inconceivable!

Nerds of the scientific persuasion.

Nothing active. But even Santa Lucia is a former volcano (about 15 million years old).

You say pickerel and know about Goldeye. Manitoba or Minnesota or similar? ;)

That would qualify as work according to the US gov. Because by doing these chores, you are potentially causing someone to not need to pay a nanny or whatever. Be careful how you define work – you don’t need to be directly paid.

I hate fishing games. Just chance games to waste time. But I also hate fishing so…

While we’re on that topic, Negash Coffee (Niverville, MB) is an interesting one. They are locally owned in Niverville. But the owners are immigrants to Canada and their family runs their actual plantation in Ethiopia. So it’s vertically integrated with known sourcing.

On the windows gaming machine, I let it do its own thing with UAC clickthroughs basically just notifying me when something is making system changes.

On Linux, I have a separate root password and use some combination of su, kdesu, yast, or whatever, but I never log in as root directly. I don’t game that much on Linux (that machine is lacking in graphics horsepower), but things like EU4 work well enough.

Important questions. Does Fudge ever eat fudge? Maybe the cat should be call Cheese!

I want to take him home and train him to hunt my fruit flies.

There’s quite a few nice apps for Lemmy. I’m using Connect for Lemmy on android and it’s wonderful.

American ingredients in domestic made stuff is the next target.

Yeah, it’s easy to forget sometimes that they were actually pretty good coders to get started. Obviously that doesn’t always translate to corporate leadership. But hey, assembly is far better than Zuckerberg’s start (PHP?)

Leetspeak is older than AIM haha. I’d wager it is solidly in the pre-internet BBS era in its inception.

The show is worth watching, just as a show, even if you disagree with the message. It’s unique in its presentation. The single cut style looks like it might hide some subtle cuts (I don’t think so), but it’s actually quite impressive. The topic is interesting and can spawn interesting conversations.

It’s actually just an odometer wheel that drags behind the unit. You need the antennas to be in contact with the ground for best data. So the instrument isn’t exactly balanced on the wheel. But close enough to a wheel barrow for illustrative effect :)

Tl:Dr; small business; pictures of shipment components from the lease pool.

I run a very small scientific equipment company where our primary income stream is the lease pool. A lot of the equipment is modular, so before sending the equipment to the customer, we have to assemble and test in whatever configuration is appropriate for their study. We take photos and send them notes on how to use the device as configured. Then we disassemble and take a picture of all the components we’re sending, then finally package for safe shipping. This picture is one of the steps in the process of making sure that we get all the components back when we get the equipment back.

Because of the modulatity, it would take a lot of time to individually itemize each shipment, so the picture saves a lot of work. But only if the picture is actually useful and you can see and recognize every component. So there is an art to laying it all out. It feels like laying out Lego components, trying to optimize the view.

I just set a subset of the photo above as my LinkedIn banner because it looks cool (to me). Thus, “art”.

We are very small. Aside from myself, I’ve got a business manager and an electronics technician. As we grow, more will be needed. But I suspect ~10 people is the max we can grow to before our market is saturated and we will always be a small business.

Yes. ;)
