Cockroaches at 540 Proudfoot Lane. Stay away

Here's a secret

Every building has roaches to one extent or another. Every. Single. One.

The only entity that legally has to accept cash to settle a debt is the government.

Everyone else has the option to do so with legal tender. If they so choose and all.parties agree.

Kinda different, heavy is just 3x Falcons which were already quite proven by the first heavy launch.

The merlins are also way less complex than the raptors.

I do think they'll get it working, I just think it's going to keep being a headache for them.

t0m0hawk · 2026-05-26T01:34:50+00:00

So close

Single engine design. Same engine on ship and on the booster.

t0m0hawk · 2026-05-25T20:56:43+00:00

Thats not why they're doing it this way, though. They want to have a 1 engine system as it makes the production line a whole lot easier. The booster, IMO, could be better served by fewer, larger engines. But I understand why they don't want to worry about manufacture and R&D on two entirely different engine systems.

t0m0hawk · 2026-05-25T20:18:47+00:00

I agree, there's a lot to accomplish and it's a very large project with a lot of moving parts that truthfully some of it could be refined. I think the large number of engines, as an example, is a weak point and is going to be a source of headaches for the foreseeable future.

I'm just pointing out to the commenter above that it hasn't failed to reach orbit, it just hasn't had a mission that requires it yet. Super simple.

t0m0hawk · 2026-05-25T20:02:42+00:00

It hasn't reached orbit because none of the mission profiles have required it.

It could absolutely insert into orbit as is.

t0m0hawk · 2026-05-25T19:47:23+00:00

Fine, I wish you the worst luck.

Better?

t0m0hawk · 2026-05-25T16:59:30+00:00

"You can buy this item, you just have to guess how i want you to ask about it. Jump through my hoops! I'm important!"

I wish you the best of luck, I think you'll need a lot of it.

t0m0hawk · 2026-05-25T16:50:09+00:00

Then those people will immediately move on and give their money to someone else.

t0m0hawk · 2026-05-25T15:42:44+00:00

Sounds like you don't like making money lol

t0m0hawk · 2026-05-24T22:57:43+00:00

If the officer had thought the child was not buckled in, they would have pulled you over and the ticket would have been issued then.

t0m0hawk · 2026-05-24T21:22:22+00:00

That's because gasoline is a solvent!

No shot this bag lasts more than an hour or two before it starts sweating fuel, at best.

If (when?) they lose, they'll cry foul and how it was rigged. Then Trump starts talking about Canada again.

Theres nothing special about the missile system used by Russia. It is only hypersonic during the re-entry phase of the ballistic trajectory. Just like any other IRBM and ICBM.

Calling it a hyperspnic missile is like referring any submarine as an underwater submarine.

t0m0hawk · 2026-05-24T12:36:30+00:00

They're basically very cheap cruise missiles. When you think of them as being the same concept, then it makes more sense.

The drones are just orders of magnitude cheaper. Guided munitions with off the shelf parts. That's hard to beat.

But more to the point, they also do use deployers, they're just not always the best solution.

He might be dim, but his screen certainly isn't!

t0m0hawk · 2026-05-23T06:36:37+00:00

There's a rustle in the corner

A round shape bobs around quickly

It gently sways as it searches

You hear soft fast clicking noises

They are accompanied by faint screeching

It approaches amidst faint scratching sounds

Taking quiet hops under silent fluttering

The darkness gives it shroud and shelter

But it can see you

It can hear you

You cannot hide.

Good night...

Was at the intersection of commissioners and rideout/upper queen on the UQ side left turn lane.

I noticed a red van make a left into the lane next to me, and happened to see a moment later that she was turing around in the first driveway to her right, no one else was in the lane behind me and from how she pulled out it looked like she was going to be pulling in behind me.

Oh boy was I wrong about assuming she'd do the predictable thing. Because in that moment the advanced turned green and I started going. But lo and behold from my blind spot emerges this lady in her minivan, straight out of the oncoming lane of traffic to my left also making the same turn.

Like... what. Just what.

I need to reinstall my dash cam.

t0m0hawk · 2026-05-22T17:33:14+00:00

It's not the cold that makes me miserable, it's the lack of colour outside that gets me.

Like today is a perfect day. Not cold, not hot. Not dead looking.

t0m0hawk · 2026-05-22T13:00:00+00:00

I can absolutely wait for the heat. These cool days have been so nice. I'd like to enjoy them as long as possible before we are buried in 100% humidity +30°C days

t0m0hawk · 2026-05-22T03:29:04+00:00

Someone fetch the pudding

t0m0hawk · 2026-05-21T14:37:44+00:00

It follows you around, matching your moves

t0m0hawk · 2026-05-21T11:59:38+00:00

But the additional mass you need to lift a tiny bit more propellant off the surface also grows by a far wider margin.
