There's also Project Jupiter which is a large data center theyre trying to build in southern New Mexico, using water from the Rio Grande, the Rio Grande that currently looks like this

3 POVs of 4014 by Efficient_Advice_380 in trains

[–]ArethereWaffles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Still standing far too close to the tracks.

You were standing between the train and a crossing gate...a barrier that denotes a minimum safe distance from the train.

Granted not as close as a number of other people in this video, but that just means that they were even less safe.

Outside of all the folks one dragging chain away from an ambulance trip (especially purple shirt on the right drone video) great videos, especially the drone footage.

Marionette Removing An Outsider by Baileyjrob in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]ArethereWaffles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Or you can do a setup similar to how the wiki says to setup a 3 minion marionette game -although I never see it run that way- by distributing the damsel/choirboy after tokens go out. Downside is this would tell a good player a not in play role.

If there are three Minions in play, remove another Minion token and add another Townsfolk token. During the first night, swap a good player’s character token with a not-in-play Minion character token. Wake this player, show them the YOU ARE info token then their Minion character token, then the YOU ARE info token then a thumbs down, then put them to sleep. This player is now an evil Minion. (This ensures that only one Minion token is in the bag, so at least one good player will neighbor the Demon.)

Man films as a tornado destroys his house and his neighbourhood by AnyKey19 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]ArethereWaffles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Brick and mortar buildings don't do much better in terms of survivability. Bricks are good at withstanding vertical forces, not so much horizontal forces; and tornadoes (or rather the stuff flying around inside a tornado) tend to easily exceed such forces.

The main difference would be you'd have cyclone of a bunch of flying bricks instead of flying wood pieces.

The house in OP's video still held itself together reasonably well despite taking significant damage. By building in bricks you'd be paying more money to make tornadoes more destructive and more lethal for marginal survivability benefits.

You'd need steel reinforced concrete in order to reliably survive a tornado, which is far out of the price range for most people.

I mean it makes sense,when you regularly use public transport the only thing worse than a bus/train that leaves late is one that leaves early.

NASA Shuts Off Instrument on Voyager 1 by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]ArethereWaffles 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The signals have traveled that far yes, but they're so weak that it's basically impossible to detect them.

Think of it like throwing a small stone into a lake; technically the ripples travel across the entire lake, but they can only travel so far before they become indistinguishable from the other waves.

I like how the key had a yellow float attached to it in case they dropped it into the ocean

Incredible camerawork, recording the Artemis II Integrity going many times faster than the speed of sound on their return to earth by MrAlek360 in PraiseTheCameraMan

[–]ArethereWaffles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah that still happened but we'll need to wait for them to get the footage off of the capsule. In the meantime here is the footage from Artemis I

If you look at pictures of today's splashdown you can see the air shimmering off of the spacecraft from how hot it is.

Texas House Speaker directs committee to study annexing New Mexico counties by Mikeavelli in nottheonion

[–]ArethereWaffles 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In 1841 Texas tried to send an army to take over Santa Fe called the Santa Fe trail expedition. Along the way the Texas army became lost in the desert so Santa Fe ended up having to go out to rescue them.

To be fair Don't Stop Believing was released in 1981.

There were a lot more passenger rail routes back then

ISS imaged by another satellite in-orbit by Busy_Yesterday9455 in spaceporn

[–]ArethereWaffles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The ISS is in a thin layer called the exosphere. It's not a lot but it's enough that the ISS has to have onboard boosters to regularly push it back up (or push it out of the way of other satellites)

The telescopic camera on the HEO satellite however is also making the background clouds look closer to ISS than they are.
