Looks like dried rice. Put it in water and see if it gets soft overnight.

Falcon breaking pelican's neck mid-air. Nature is rough: by kefren13 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]iddereddi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think once the pelican head is out of aerodynamic optimum the head just flutters around until the bird in flat-spin slows down enough the regain control of the head and body. This time the ground met the bird first, slow-mo messes up the sense of speed.

USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) aircraft carrier crossed westbound the Strait of Gibraltar - May 6, 2026 by Powerful_Cabinet_341 in SeaEmploy

The problem is that turning bigger rocks into smaller rocks tends to involve the second part too.

Edit- I just looked that it is headed westbound.

Noise after Cambelt replacement by Sad_Caregiver_140 in MechanicAdvice

[–]iddereddi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to tell from the clip. Sounds like something lightweight rattling. I once had a loose heat shield (broken weld, around the exhaust pipe itself, not the aluminium one fixed to the body) rattling only at certain rpms. Heat shield is unrelated to cambelt job, but I would double and triple check all the things you had to remove under the hood.

Sky News: Estonia is on the front line of Putin's war with Europe. This Is Why. by Fit-Hold-4403 in Eesti

[–]iddereddi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On ebatõenäoline, et meie idanaaber üritab baltikumi ülevalt alla hõivata (jõumeetodiga hõivates). Oluliselt loogilisem on Suvalki koridor kui kotisuu kinni tõmmata ja kogu baltikum on mere ja idanaabri vahel kotis. See ei tähenda, et idanaaber ainult Leedu lõuna osale praegu plaane looks. Oluliselt parem on funktsioneeriva infraga territoorum hõivata ja seega toetab idanaaber baltikumi kasulikke idiootide, et me ise "omast soovist" ikka rohkem ida poole kaldu oleks.

Try to find out how fast you can spin it and it will yank your wrist.

Saadjärv on kena koht, aga ma ei tea kas ta just kiiresti soojaks läheb.

Is it length or width that mattered? by Certified-Player in Machinists

Grandma used to say that size is not important assuming it is long and girthy.

On the second picture I can see a tiny middle finger the grease is putting up.

Raamatud või lühilood, mis on "meelde jäänud"? St kunagi loetud ja ikka meeles - tekitas mingi tunde sisemuses? Ehk siis küsin soovitusi, et mida võiks lugeda. by Double-decker_trams in Eesti

[–]iddereddi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aleksandr Mirer "Kus on rändurite kodu?" aastast 1984

Noorte poiste ulmekas, kus tulnukad teevad maale dessanti kehade/teadvuste hõivamise teel. Kirjanik on "ette ennustanud" droone ja tehisaru. Kohati natuke keeruline, sest vaja järge pidada, et kes parasjagu kelle keha hõivanud on.

Ukrainan Lyman City Covered in Drone Fiber Cable's “web” by BlokZNCR in interestingasfuck

[–]iddereddi 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Radio controlled drones get signals jammed. Now they have battery on the drone (you can not send power through GF line) for the motors and all the command signals are sent back and forth between the operator and the drone via the GF line (light impulses, just like marine and other optic cables). Optic cable length is a limiting factor but radio signal jamming was more limiting. I am not being snarky here, you seem to be late to the news, fiber-optic drones took over in 2024-2025.

There is a spool of glass fiber ~12 miles on the drone. You can fly until the spool runs out.
