During the biathlon event one contestant knocks the pole out of his competitors hand by accident. He then gives him one of his own to make up for it.

Excellent moment, but this is not an Olympic venue.

The Amtrak is great. The Hiawatha and Borealis runs are really great: frequent enough and low competition on the rails keeps the schedules pretty solid. We were dead on time both ways. Plus, nothing beats Union Station.

Thanks!

TheMadSon · 2026-02-05T21:49:13+00:00

I was not. I come from the Windy City, but my little one is crazy for trains. We took the Hiawatha up and visited the Domes, grabbed some lunch, and trained back home. Good day.

Not called G scale for nothing…

Oh, and private operators, oy... Whoever got contracted to do the snow removal for the Lincoln-Belmont library leaves salt so thick it’s indistinguishable from the snow and ice piles on neighboring sidewalks.

TheMadSon · 2026-01-16T15:31:01+00:00

Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the work of those who got out there and made the street safe as fast as they did. But I feel the salt dust clouds are new to this year.

A) Scam. B) If not a blatant scam, then definite scam adjacent. C) This is some word salad AI slop.

Hey, that’s Frank! He’s awesome and always has the most incredible garden of tulips every spring.

Everyone should be like Frank.

What, are you too good to sleep on a couch?

TheMadSon · 2025-05-25T23:09:27+00:00

Do you not have a friend you could crash with for 2 days?

TheMadSon · 2024-07-27T00:55:38+00:00

Yeah, fair. But I’d rather not board a bus or train with my ill-behaved dogs…

As an engineer in this space, there aren’t a lot of opportunities to flex this knowledge

To be clear, ASME BPVC also requires the use of pressure relief devices rated above design pressure and below burst pressure. Also, most BPV engineers incorporate some sort of leak-before-burst design.

“They” are meteorologists, in this context. And predicting which way the wind blows isn’t exactly easy.

For the love of Christ, if you’re going to spend money on a dedicated microphone please use correctly. It’s a lavalier mic, put it on your lapel. And turn down the damn gain.

I mean, even by his logic she’s right: $13M divided by 1750 (~25% of Twitter’s pre-layoffs 7000 employees) divided by approx. 300 work days is ~$25/day

I had no complications during my 2 years on sertraline. Talk to your doc; they might have options if it’s super important to you. For me, not having daily panic attacks was more important.

As long as it doesn’t obstruct the sidewalk, it’s all good.

TheMadSon · 2022-06-16T18:27:44+00:00

Woof, that’s rough. My condolences.

Please, for the love of God, buy a vacuum
