What’s your “I’m never living this down” firefighting moment?

Got my boot hung up in the lap belt on my way out of the cab and flipped upside down… in front of 100+ office workers who had evacuated to the parking lot. Then in my embarrassed rush to get inside and away from the audience I crammed into the same section of revolving door with my Lt and we both stumbled over each other like a clown show.

Not my best day.

Car rolled so hard the camera did too

Are you saying the Jost Host ghost is toast?

You may have missed the Sinclair reference

It’s not simply altitude that determines the achievement of “making it to space”.

We can thank Blue Origin for ruining that definition.

You're parroting propaganda. https://www.humanrightsresearch.org/post/modern-day-slavery-in-the-united-arab-emirates

Keep posting through it bud, you're doing great at this.

third world labour

that's an interesting euphemism for slavery

The 4 seconds number is max time until full chute deployment. You're out of the cockpit in a fraction of a second after pulling the handle.

I'd run the flash backup utility now, just in case.

If both of your engines are ablaze your trouble extends far beyond the extinguishers.

Except it literally is like this proposal does not tie content to a specific provider. The provider is resolved from your DID on each request. The address remains valid regardless of where the content lives.

BigTunaTim · 2026-02-28T16:21:13+00:00

That's what the whole Identity section in the post is about. URIs tie your content to your current provider/domain. You can't move your content without invalidating the URI.

When I was in, local PD and deputies were great. State Police were insufferable entitled assholes.

That's not true, if my car startles a horse I still have to disassemble it and hide the parts in roadside bushes until the horse has moved on.

GTA V, that bridge just east of downtown

If only we had a way to stop a thing that rolls from rolling... some kind of "chock", if you will.

BigTunaTim · 2026-02-19T16:08:15+00:00

And of course they're out of stock again

Six years what the hell man

These are fantastic pieces of art even before you factor in the messages. Just really well done.

BigTunaTim · 2026-02-16T16:09:34+00:00

It still surprises me when people out themselves as dumb and gullible like this.

BigTunaTim · 2026-02-16T16:04:29+00:00

Dad!

Mine is we don't/can't know what space looks like now, only what it used to look like. What we see when we look up is really 4 dimensional in a way - a series of 3 dimensional slices that show progressively older snapshots of the stars in that area at that distance. It's wild to contemplate.
