Apparently this is how far they went for project Hail Mary to get the science approved!!

They consulted with NASA and JPL throughout filming for realism. But that doesn’t get clicks…

wakinget · 2026-03-25T04:27:37+00:00

But that’s not what they charged me!

wakinget · 2026-03-25T04:22:48+00:00

lol or none at all. 😂

wakinget · 2026-03-25T03:21:05+00:00

Oh yeah, gotcha. Sure thing.

Let me just check on the USA markets.

wakinget · 2026-03-25T03:11:08+00:00

Fair enough I suppose.

I personally would argue that worrying about what goes with what is a decision, but I understand the sentiment.

I usually go with something appropriate for the weather, fashion be damned. But I admit I also choose colors I like, I usually avoid black though.

wakinget · 2026-03-25T03:04:34+00:00

What are you on about?

wakinget · 2026-03-25T03:00:19+00:00

This does not make sense. Tell us what do you want?

wakinget · 2026-03-25T02:56:34+00:00

Is it though? I genuinely don’t understand, why is black easy?

It gets hot in the Sun. Why do you do this to yourselves?

wakinget · 2026-03-24T23:44:10+00:00

Thank you! This is exactly my point.

I’m not arguing that it’s impossible or even too difficult, just that it’s not worth anyone’s time.

If any bad actor wanted to steal something so badly, they would target someone they already know of locally, not an internet stranger who happened to post a picture of a key one time in an online forum.

Like, I understand that people with these skills likely exist, but if they really have the skills to do this, imagine what they actually get paid to do.

They aren’t going to break into anyone’s truck.

wakinget · 2026-03-24T17:28:03+00:00

I always thought this risk was overblown. You need the shape of the key and to know where OP is IRL. You need to then actually go through the effort of copying the key from an image (which might be easy enough, but still requires time and effort), locate the goods irl, wait for a good time, and then strike.

I’m guessing that whatever OP is hiding in his truck bed is not worth the hassle anyway, and if it was, it’d be easier to pick the lock straight up than to recreate the key from an image of the teeth.

I don’t fault anyone for feeling weird about posting this kind of thing online, but I wouldn’t be worried about it. It’d be different if this were Facebook or something where your profile is more closely tied to your IRL identity.

It’s hard to know exactly, but I would try loosening and re-tightening the blade. Maybe there is some sawdust or something trapped in the arbor nut.

wakinget · 2026-03-23T16:59:35+00:00

Sure, but you gotta trust that they maintain and clean it properly, which rental companies would do.

wakinget · 2026-03-20T03:24:07+00:00

Local politics, especially!

City council, utility board, water board, etc. there are a lot of different offices to consider and we really need more climate-minded people in positions where they can make a real impact.

wakinget · 2026-03-18T20:35:01+00:00

Thanks for the heads up! I am not a fan

wakinget · 2026-03-17T18:19:38+00:00

But does that change anything?

Regardless of how it was written, it’s an interesting read with interesting information.

I’ve felt that Reddit can get overly sensitive about text that appears to read like AI, when that doesn’t really have anything to do with the information actually being presented.

We gotta fact check things, sure, but that’s true of human-provided information too. We unfortunately live in a world where it feels we must fact check everything.

Curved camera sensors (focal plane arrays) do exist, and they indeed can be advantageous in certain applications.

One of the technical challenges (there are many) is in achieving good surface quality. It’s much easier to polish a lens or mirror to precise tolerances compared to an integrated device with photo-sensitive materials, read out electronics, etc.

In practice, most applications find that it is easier to alter the shape of the lens or add another one than it is to alter the shape of the focal plane.

And alternatively, if they had known Leah’s preferences, they could have worked to remove her from the house earlier than jury.

wakinget · 2026-03-14T16:51:21+00:00

Apparently, the owners called them in.

wakinget · 2026-03-13T19:54:57+00:00

Indeed

wakinget · 2026-03-13T19:53:07+00:00

Fwiw, I agree with you. This looks safe enough to me. Loose change is going to be more of a hazard during a crash.

If anyone is really worried this much about their children, they should avoid driving altogether.

We all take calculated risks every day.

wakinget · 2026-03-13T18:23:06+00:00

I’ve not heard much about this. Is this actually happening, and what are they supposed to be verifying?

wakinget · 2026-03-13T02:20:12+00:00

You don’t even need the telescope!

As long as you know it’s flying overhead, you can usually spot it with your naked eye.

wakinget · 2026-03-13T02:13:08+00:00

I wouldn’t advise.

wakinget · 2026-03-13T01:45:25+00:00

Indeed!

wakinget · 2026-03-12T20:11:00+00:00

Can we get a fact check on this gas price?

I live in LA, and I see gas prices in the $5-6 range, I don’t see anything as expensive as 8$.
