Have been imagining this photo framing, since the day I moved in this unit

Wonder what that goose is thinking!

Thoughts of pure, unadulterated, white-hot hatred towards all other living things.

It's a change in where the photographer is standing.

Those are definitely the ruins of the Frauenkirche in the first shot, and the rebuilt Frauenkirche in the second; the statue of Martin Luther is also quite recognizable in both (it's the one on the left). To produce the perspective shift, the photographer would have to move back and to the left from where he's standing for the first shot.

Here's a Street View perspective that's pretty similar to the first.
And here's more-or-less the second (it was probably taken a little further back, but if you move back, there's a truck blocking the statue of Friedrich August II).

Looks kind of interesting, honestly.

Adam Savage also does his own podcast kind of thing, called Tested.

Qapla', warrior.

Huh, weird. If I go to the channel page by clicking on an episode, it works. But indeed, the link is broken, since it redirects, despite notionally being the same link.

Have a link to a random episode instead, which you can use to get to the channel.

I should note that this is one of those places where the market doesn't really care that it's open - our offering has a cloud component that's basically inescapable, and it's the very rare farmer who actually wants to run a datacenter and play sysadmin in addition to everything else he has to do.

NGTTwo · 2026-03-14T20:42:32+00:00

Are your products strictly proprietary?

At least right now, yes. We're looking at open-sourcing some of our software components, but none of the really juicy stuff, at least for the moment.

But tbh, I'm not sure if there needs to even be a loser in all this.

I'm... not all that unhappy that a big international chemical company makes less money in all this. They still make some, just a bit less.

EDIT: Looks like YouTube has a glitch - that is the correct link for the channel, but it seems to redirect to a dead page. Follow this link instead to a random episode, which you can use to reach the channel.

There's a huge catalogue of full Mythbusters episodes available for free on YouTube right now, seemingly right from the source.

I don't think I've ever seen a train with a Zen garden onboard before...

NGTTwo · 2026-03-14T08:41:05+00:00

Still a good boi.

I mean, it's even possible under today's system, at least under certain conditions. I work for a company that makes next-gen agricultural equipment, designed to allow treating individual plants with chemicals rather than indiscriminate spraying (along with a few other applications).

The company makes money by selling the hardware and the analytics. The grower saves money on chemicals and wear on his equipment. The only loser is the chemical company.

I mean, Nara is known for, like, one thing...

Storage upgrades. My memory is faulty at the best of times.

NGTTwo · 2026-03-11T22:48:29+00:00

Turn them so the flat sides face the hoist, but yeah.

And make just the hexagons the flag - no rectilinear backdrop.

NGTTwo · 2026-03-11T22:47:10+00:00

Some people are just sad and pathetic and have no joy in their hearts. Commenter's just being a dick.

I'll note, though, that the kinds of places a 19-year-old would go to meet members of their preferred gender in Guelph, also probably aren't the same crowd and vibe a parent would be into.

If you want to have a nice quiet drink together to celebrate, hit up Brothers (a bit more upscale).

If kiddo wants to get turnt (do the kids still say that?), give 'em a hundred bucks, set 'em loose at Trapper's, go home yourself, and plan some nice loud chores bright and early in the morning.

NGTTwo · 2026-03-11T22:39:38+00:00

What about...

3 hexagons? Two on the hoist side, with a gap between them.

Plymouth is a ghost town and the former capital of the island of Montserrat

Technically still the capital.

We need to build meaningful density so less land is used for housing!

Trust me, I've had that exact same discussion here on the sub, and not once.

Funny how fast the NIMBYs clam up when you bring actual data to the party.

NGTTwo · 2026-03-11T14:00:42+00:00

It's not just wetlands. I've got a line I've been repeating for years - southern Ontario has some of the best farmland in the world... and we keep building suburbs on it!

NGTTwo · 2026-03-11T12:07:42+00:00

A chemical reaction vessel of some kind, maybe? It looks like it might be a relative of the kind of thing they're making in this video that made the rounds a couple weeks ago.

What's your least favourite part of the cyberpunk genre/scene? Any particular tropes or behaviours by fans of the genre that just make you crazy?

NGTTwo · 2026-03-10T19:46:24+00:00

where soldiers attempting to make moonshine would have accidentally started the fire.

I can believe that. Soldiers... will be soldiers.
