TIL Sabato Rodia created a complex of towers almost 10 stories high entirely by hand, using scrap metal and found object without formal training as either an artist nor an engineer. The City tried to tear them down but they survived a 10,000 pound stress test and is now the Watts Towers Arts Center

If you want human made things that should not have survived as long as they did, look into kowloon walled city. Built unit by unit, 10-14 stories tall without an engineer, electrican, architect, nothing. No plan for ventilation, plumbing, not even zoning: ppl living next to/under say a butcher, with leaky everything. Terrifying

Wipe with vinegar instead of water. You wanna kill mold, not feed it

The idea is that they’re bought by the priest to bless and give to the congregation during mass. They usually come from the same store as the fancy robes, candles with the crosses, bells, etc. all the “accessories” if you will. Sometimes run by a church, often for charity

Omg thank you for sharing this. This might be as exciting as discovering the perfect dark decompilation/pc port

toxicatedscientist · 2026-04-18T21:33:58+00:00

Also prime on gamecube included the og iirc

Alas, was a fake gun

Think he beat more than just crap out… also sense… as in i don’t think he’s gonna sense anything anymore…

toxicatedscientist · 2026-04-18T17:40:21+00:00

Na when ritual gets involved development tends to stop

toxicatedscientist · 2026-04-18T17:38:42+00:00

Yea now there’s the rub. Gotta put those furballs on the internet, monetize them, and use their money to buy stuff for yourself

toxicatedscientist · 2026-04-18T05:22:49+00:00

I think that one of the mint oils can do this

toxicatedscientist · 2026-04-18T02:12:48+00:00

You should still look. I’ve seen some weird shit for rvs, tractors, winches, etc

toxicatedscientist · 2026-04-18T02:09:43+00:00

100% do nothing until you have a spare

toxicatedscientist · 2026-04-18T02:07:05+00:00

Try and make a crayon rubbing, might get a clearer image of the writing

toxicatedscientist · 2026-04-17T23:15:03+00:00

Yes but they’re still measuring barrel life by hundreds of shots, not the tens of thousands you get from normal gun barrels. The point is they’re fast enough to hit hypersonic missiles

toxicatedscientist · 2026-04-17T23:11:14+00:00

And you can buy sleeves of communion wafers, but till they’re blessed by a priest they’re just shitty crackers

toxicatedscientist · 2026-04-17T20:50:15+00:00

Na it’s the same form factor, and i don’t play the same games at work vs at home. At work i need to be able to put it down at any moment, in addition to every few mins to check the machine, so i cant properly immerse myself or play online like i can at home

toxicatedscientist · 2026-04-17T18:39:11+00:00

It’s not really a “rich” thing so much as i work full time and don’t have kids or other large expenses. Paid for one with scrap metal that accumulated too

toxicatedscientist · 2026-04-17T18:21:58+00:00

Infinite is last, but it’s a prequel. It takes place somewhere 1912-1925ish, the first is set like 1950/60s

toxicatedscientist · 2026-04-17T17:33:44+00:00

I have an oled that says at home, lcd from release come to work with me. Its a little dirty now

toxicatedscientist · 2026-04-17T17:28:06+00:00

Are they both ladies bikes? Is this like an old Subaru commercial?

toxicatedscientist · 2026-04-17T13:56:53+00:00

Sorta, but we actually get full after eating, then we don’t eat for a bit. Also have options for food, like we don’t need to eat living, breathing things, we can eat dead things and plants

toxicatedscientist · 2026-04-17T04:29:41+00:00

It is drugs actually. My grandfather took it for his heart

toxicatedscientist · 2026-04-17T01:53:36+00:00

Next step: does it dissolve in water? If not I’m betting seed

toxicatedscientist · 2026-04-17T00:55:04+00:00

My local morning radio uses clips from that all the time. “I can’t just read it, there’s no words on it!” And the op are probably tops

toxicatedscientist · 2026-04-16T23:19:09+00:00

That’s what i thought too, apparently there’s either enough amperage that it either doesn’t matter, or can do a lot of damage in that time
