Has anyone ever combined something like Wikipedia with something like McMaster-Carr? A community-edited catalog and taxonomy of materials and parts?

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

11 Q. So how did you get yourself started into submersible

13
A.
Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic.
When I
14
set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did
15
was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible
16
program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named

Professor
I. I did that through a mutual friend
18
of ours, a guy named
, who is one of the preeminent
underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a
20
submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the
21
Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was
22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.

For my bsky peeps: Catalyst had her first sea trial today! Went swimmingly. (Which is to say, nobody had to swim).

For every €1 provided through a Basic Income For Artists pilot program in Ireland, the government got €1.46 back. So it’s being made permanent. Over and over we see it. It saves public money to provide public housing. And it makes public money to provide basic income. We can’t afford to NOT do it.

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.bsky.social

I have a friend who was a designer at an engineering firm who got laid off during covid. He took the time to get really good at backcountry skiing thanks to CERB and rejoined the labour force when the jobs came back.

Techbros couldn’t have invented GPS because to have it work at all requires the use of distant black holes; basic research that gov’t needs to fund over decades that tech never will. They don’t realize yet that they’ve turned off the faucet of the tech hose by defunding science.

I’ve just had a fantastic electronics designer drop off my electric boat projects for personal reasons, and another EE/robotics hire who had to withdraw before starting. Would really love to get some more help in that area! Let me know of any leads.

My assumption, but only assumption is: it’s now impossible to sell to the US because the tariffs (as designed) make it more expensive than US domestic supply. Leading to a glut in Canada without enough demand.

I’m on the board of the island’s recycling org. We ship scrap metal off island. We used to get $175/ton for it. Post US tariffs on metal, we now get… $25/ton.

Sure, so the movie version about the Stripe lads will star Mo Chara as John, right?

I can never remember, is a ham and cheese sandwich supposed to be one slice of ham between two slices of cheese, or one slice of cheese between two slices of ham?
