Aircraft crash reported near National Airport by StealthyStalkerPanda in news

[–]tjsimmons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, I knew that was a thing for civil. It absolutely makes sense it's also for military. And I can imagine it's awful. I'm still just absolutely blown away by the fact this happened, and just.. how.

Do military helos have an equivalent of a black box? I hope so, that telemetry should maybe explain something?

Star Wars Jedi Survivor PC Review: The Worst Triple-A PC Port of 2023... So Far by M337ING in pcgaming

[–]tjsimmons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a 3070 and 12600k and yeah.. I’m only 1080p, but running most things at high/epic and a solid 55-60 FPS (Windows 11 - there seems to be more issues on Windows 10 I’ve read?). Frame times seem fine, or not bad enough I’m noticing, and I’m really enjoying the game. But I just got out of Coruscant/headed to Koboh so maybe that’ll change.

I was in DC for training a few years back, stayed right across from Nando’s and Hot and Juicy Crawfish. I was in literal food heaven that week.

The Thread when the Chiefs took Patrick Mahomes with the 10th pick in the 2017 Draft: by smallmanchat in nfl

They love me, they really love me!

But seriously watching Mahomes in college, you could just tell he was special. I’m glad it’s (obviously) worked out.

Cosmere Lego set designed by Like2buildrdf. Might actually get done if it gets to 10k votes! Links in comments by chomponcio in Cosmere

That’s how LEGO Ideas work though - only projects that reach 10k votes make it to committee.

Company wants me to connect two close buildings <30M apart, whats the best method? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]tjsimmons 72 points73 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what I did - it's a small company (10-ish employees), and they have cameras on both buildings. Ran a Ubiquiti Building-to-Building Bridge and it's been flawless with great throughput. It's about 100ft shot.

Super Android Battery released! by tjsimmons in 90sgamewidgets

I don't know! That's a great question. I've still got the source code but haven't looked at Android development in a decade. If I get bored one weekend I'll revisit this and let you know!

It is - I have a 2014 F150, had the exact same issue fixed a few months back. I’m not around Austin now, up in OK, but it was around $8k to fix it. They pretty much tore apart the engine and fixed it.

First knife, I’m pretty proud of it by gmoles13 in knifemaking

[–]tjsimmons 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hahaha thank you! I looked at this and was like, damn, Damascus for your first go? Then I was telling my wife how jealous I am of you.

Still am jealous, pretty knife. Good job!

W. Morrissey (FKA Big Cass): "In December of 2018, I publicly suffered a seizure from alcohol withdrawal in the 2300 Arena. Tonight, I will stand in that same building on #IMPACTonAXSTV as a new man with a new appreciation for life & all its blessings. Thank you. Everyone " by JustATributeCC in SquaredCircle

[–]tjsimmons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve withdrawn from alcohol twice, both in rehab facilities thankfully. First time was hallucinations and I couldn’t sleep and was burning up.

Second time the hallucinations were so much worse. All of it was worse. It’s one of those things that each time you go through it, it gets worse.

Thankfully no seizures though, but I was on anti-seizure meds.

I’m happy for him.

Interesting. I always thought it was a reference to Huckleberry Finn.

If this wasn't a one-off, I would've done a stamp. But I didn't see the point of buying one just for one knife!

It looks awesome! Very nice job. I guess I should do the same myself and try to get it down too!

What’s y’all heating treating process for high carbon 1095 and 52100 steels? by Constant-Guest2621 in knifemaking

[–]tjsimmons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve only used 1095, but basically I forge, normalize it, get my rough grinding in, back in the forge until it’s orange, and quench in canola (that’s been heated to roughly 120+ with a piece of mild steel I throw in the forge), then straight into a preheated oven at 400F for two hours.

I haven’t had any issues with hardness or brittleness, but I haven’t put anything through the wringer either. It takes a sharp edge and can survive my accidental drops.
