One summer in high school I saw a concert at Darien Lake (B-52s and Violent Femmes (!!!)) and part of it included being in the park after hours somehow. Anyway I rode the Predator like 5 times in a row with no lines which you can only safely do at 14.

Yeah I was clicking through the different Near/Far detector experiments and it didn’t even occur to me that there might be more than one Far detector buried deep under northern Minnesota (despite Richard’s photo of an empty facility…) So cool to work on something like that

The detector has a giant mystic mural on the walls, and the artist statement (www.giannetti.com/pages/statem...) is a loosely expanded Marge Simpson "I just think they're neat"? The experiment's wiki page has a diagram that randomly uses a singapore airlines Airbus A380 for scale???

I had never heard of any of this and this is the most implausibly on-target @halkyardo.bsky.social / @cheatlines.co fan fiction extended universe thing imaginable. An experiment that beams particles hundreds of miles through the earth to northern minnesota (???) into a disused iron ore mine (???)

"are you enjoying duo mobile" does a hamburger enjoy being made of quarks. does a fish enjoy linear time. does the mountain enjoy the first taste of a cup of hot chocolate when you get back to the ski lodge. your question means nothing to me. i couldn't enjoy duo mobile even if i tried

For my birthday project this year, I’ve been learning to carve rubber stamps. I wanted to make something that I could customize so that all of my friends could get an original piece of art. This is what I came up with. Thank you all for your kind words and support. I hope to get better at it.

I can tell what time it is because my coworkers' laptops are chiming like churchbells for their upcoming meetings. Ten minutes to the hour. Five minutes to the hour.

No, I wish, I've never visited or been close. Just in a game, and watching videos which were hard to scrounge up at the time.

So, so cool. Unfortunately these were both really interesting and now you’ve introduced “when is Richard going to make another video?” into the information environment.

The night at a bar in Brooklyn where they played Is It You Girl? by Betty Wright like 5 times in a row. I couldn’t believe how good it was and I was scrambling to remember some part of it for later, then they just kept re playing it. Was better every time.

Love a good boat name. There's one I've seen a few times called "Change Order" on a huge cabin cruiser which is just perfect for a cackling, cigar-chomping general contractor www.beautifulpublicdata.com/boat-names/

"Cobra" I love how people will try to give absolutely any kind of physical device a badass name. I remember seeing metal accessibility ramps with something like "Barracuda" embossed on the side. Hell yeah! 🤘

Today, most cars come in white, silver, and black. That’s pretty much it. It is truly sad to see how far the typical car has fallen from the colorful options that even basic cars had. Just look at these colors from cars on the road in 1973! www.beautifulpublicdata.com/san-diego-ph...
