I’m a geek, always around computers, gaming, tinkering, etc.

Once I moved for work, to Spain, didn’t know the language. My laptop broke, like, when opening it, the plastic was fatigued and the screen just bent.

I was broke, expensive training… Couldn’t replace it before a few months.

So I went to the bar of the inn I was starting at. And just, tried to pick up some words.

Long story short, after a while I knew everyone in town, had many friends, and after work, laptop or not, I would go to the bar. I got fluent in Spanish too.

Happiest time of my life. I don’t think my mental health has ever been as good as back then.

I’m not fast but this looks like Taiwan indeed (compare with the pole in the upper left of the picture).

Double edge safety razor. Edwin Jagger DE8x is a good choice as not aggressive (the x doesn’t matter, it’s the design of the handle). For the blades, I use feathers, but it doesn’t really matter.

No need to press. Just glide softly on the stretched soaped surface, in no specific direction, while lifting your dick with the other wrist and holding the balls with the other hand. For the shaft, don’t go against the grain. You’ll nick yourself (no big deal).

Also I typically reserve the brand new blades for my face, maybe it helps.

For the hero image, that could possibly just be an attempt at a “fun” way of showing that they can carry a lot by mean of hyperbole.

“Look at that tiny truck, it’s bursting with boxes!”

They just fall off when unpowered.

Because if they didn’t have human form they, by definition, wouldn’t be humanoids ? :)

Thanks

I have this, even with a single fry at the start of a meal. Starchy or dry food in general. I’m about to get hiccup from that fry, then I down a half glass of water and I’m good for the rest of the meal.

Yeah the 777X. Weird, the 777 is so successful.

Exactly. I flew the 777 for a living. It’s a tank. Extremely reliable, flies like a dream, plenty of power. I haven’t flown the new generation 777 though and you can bet it’s not as safe. Nothing Boeing makes now is.

I used to be a “if it’s not Boeing I’m not going” pilot. I feel stupid now.

Airlines suffer the exact same problem. Greed. Boeing doesn’t make the engines. GE does (or Pratt and Whitney). They are very reliable engines too. If they start failing in a specific airline, it’s a maintenance problem.

Edit: also as comments started, this could be nothing but normal issues, haven’t read the article. I stopped reading at “engine issues, including tyre falling off…” What??

There’s a guy, Isaac Newton, he’s 57. Ask him about his second third law, hopefully he came up with it already.

I steer gigantic metal birds pulled by armies of horses carrying dozens of people, to the antipodes… in less than one day… using dead animal juice.

Yes, otherwise he would have said “les Anglais”.

If you tried copilot at the beginning, it’s improved a lot since, now it’s using GPT-4.

Don’t blast heavy metal.
