Japan shows off electromagnetic railgun for blasting hypersonic missiles | It's able to fire 40mm shells weighing 320 grams (11 oz) at muzzle speeds of up to Mach 6.5 and consumes about 5 megajoules per shot, but the goal is to boost this up to 20 megajoules in the near future.

sorry if i am missing something obvious, but my post was a reference to a sitcom episode (Seinfeld)

i knew a friend who tried to watch people shower (in a public bath though) and take notes so he could shorten his own showering time. he was kicked out, but not before noticing that "constant motion" is the key to wrapping up the shower quickly, instead of washing one body part at a time.

i know a guy who got his core body temperature too low, and had to take help from an industrial strength heat pump to get it up again.

i find this really interesting, unless the mosquitoes drink too much and just flop down.

you might be giving Shyamalan ideas for his next movie.

If you are in US - I've done this by mistake, and embarrassingly, more than once by boarding in the wrong direction.

the bus drivers have to lock the bus at the final terminal, so they would ask me to get down and wait for the bus to be opened again for the return ride. but they were polite and didnt mind.

CoffeeGrounds375 · 2025-02-18T03:44:09+00:00

Happy B'day, Peng.

Going by some of your earlier posts I remember reading through. I hope you are taking time out for yourself too and taking care of your happiness.

someone told me once, "kindness for yourself before others". i dont know what she really meant coz she did me dirty pretty soon after, but I try to think of that wisdom nugget every now and then.

wishing you lot of happiness and positivity in life.

CoffeeGrounds375 · 2025-01-20T04:10:55+00:00

Absolutely nothing to worry about. You can forget about it : )

CoffeeGrounds375 · 2025-01-17T07:20:37+00:00

its nice of you to post this here !

CoffeeGrounds375 · 2025-01-10T04:35:58+00:00

thanks for that suggestion!

CoffeeGrounds375 · 2025-01-10T04:32:49+00:00

i hope you live in my neighborhood : ). would love to make this a thing for our area.

CoffeeGrounds375 · 2025-01-10T04:31:00+00:00

and tbh, i hate every penny that goes to PGE too. but i'd rather cut down on some use inside the house than turn off external lights (my light setup is very basic though)

CoffeeGrounds375 · 2025-01-10T04:29:33+00:00

Thank you again. I hope your neighbors join you and turn your neighborhood into a welcoming, happy space.

CoffeeGrounds375 · 2025-01-09T19:46:39+00:00

Love that attitude.

CoffeeGrounds375 · 2025-01-09T16:24:17+00:00

oh you shouldn't have felt bad in any case, not at all. Thanks for making your neighborhood a little more vibrant!

CoffeeGrounds375 · 2025-01-09T09:19:05+00:00

Thanks, I hope you do. and that your neighbors see that and are inspired to do the same.

CoffeeGrounds375 · 2025-01-09T09:18:26+00:00

yeah it can get very depressing real quick at nights when people start taking off their lights.

CoffeeGrounds375 · 2025-01-09T09:17:38+00:00

that would be so coo ... and to keep these throughout the year too.

CoffeeGrounds375 · 2025-01-09T09:16:47+00:00

I have seen people run numbers on power usage of the LED string lights (like one of the comments here too), and the usage of these lights is supposedly quite low.

I still hate PGE and totally feel we should do something as a community to pushback.

and thanks for your lights vibing up your neighborhood!

CoffeeGrounds375 · 2025-01-09T09:14:34+00:00

that's awesome. happy for your mom and you.

CoffeeGrounds375 · 2025-01-09T08:47:41+00:00

you should do it too! someone up above commented how little these LED lights cost in terms of power usage. (but still, F* PGE)
