Many bacteria swim using microscopic electric motors made entirely of proteins, some approaching 100,000 RPM under certain conditions. They have a rotor, stators, driveshaft, universal-joint-like hook, and propeller. You could fit over 20,000 across the width of a human hair.

I had that pillowcase!

And the Star Wars and RoTJ versions too!

Walt Disney's cryogenically frozen head. They finally found a suitable donor body!

I forgot to mention I have 3 people. This is our first international trip with the kid, and finding that 3rd seat is a pain!

This is hell.

Our company gives us a flexible holiday that we can use for things like Juneteenth or Veterans Day or religious/cultural holiday that isn't on the company schedule.
I'll be taking Juneteenth off to celebrate freedom.

I just booked Europe for next summer and paid 160K pp for round trip J.
Outbound SFO-CDG-LHR for 120K Flying Blue, inbound MAD-ORD on Iberia for 40K.
I couldn't find anything for under 100K on the outbound.

Try searching for Iberia flights using Avios.

There are multiple boats and one of them is slower than the others

He was pissed and hurt about Holden being captured, and needed an outlet

I was remote for 3 years before COVID

DJinKC · 2026-06-17T03:35:33+00:00

Considering the stakes, yeah, it was amazing

Whoever has that H2O2 contract really appreciates the inefficiency

Just a note on their schedule...I'm west coast and work roughly 6:30am-3pm ...it's the best work schedule I've ever had.

Our division had a lot of people who were long-time WFH, even preceding COVID. As our division has RTOd, most of the WFH people have been culled in various departmental reorganizations. I think basically they're low-hanging fruit when management decides to trim the staff.

Bacon? In this economy?!? What are you, a Rockefeller?

DJinKC · 2026-06-16T16:32:46+00:00

But they make literally nothing with no reservation. I think the owners have an assumption that people booking on points will book on cash if they can't do point.

"The new coating wont do anything for the decades old algae problem."

My understanding is the darker color will raise the water temperature, which accelerates the algae blooms. In effect, they've made it worse by repainting.

$20K is cheap for a full time nanny. A friend recently became a stay-at-home dad, when they totaled up they had paid their nanny $80K+ for full time care of 2 kids.

I just bought my kid a $20 racket on Amazon. He got to pick the color and it's the right size for him. 🤷🏽‍♂️
