The world record for longest underwater breath-hold using oxygen is often viewed as much as a conjuring trick as an athletic feat - and at one time the title
yea so simulating a macpherson strut with a spring, embeddedin your assembly with dynamic spring compression, turns out to be more difficult than it should be.
that's ok i found a workaround just by splitting the strut assembly in 2 parts and estimating where the strut is going to bottom out and where it's going to rest by default. not ideal but i'm also gona make everything adjustable to optimize the physical part
grok whipped up a tutorial for me but it was full of bugs and stuff that (at least my version) of inventor can't do. so oh well i may do some *actual* old style web searches or find some jeet tutorial vids on youtube

Universities are in a very tough place. I think most people in academia understand what the dynamics are.. thanks to 2008 and the fertility drop off, there are a lot less kids hitting college age right now. Match that with the continuing erosion of government financing for higher education and especially the war on America being wage right now. Higher education is in a bad way in the US.

Reminded of all the times in the 2000s when I had what I would later discover to be gout flares but multiple doctors told me I was just fat and putting too much weight on my joints. If you don’t know, gout is a form of arthritis and one of the most acutely painful conditions known to medicine.
Yeah, it’s a form of joint inflammation, to begin with, but it’s progressive if untreated and can really fuck you up. Even in the early stages it’s definitely top ten most painful things ever. 10/10 pain. A common thought is that you’d rather it be amputated.
I’ve cut my own toenail down the bed and ripped it off with pliers, I’ve had a nail through my foot, a heart problem that caused pain like a rusty knife being dragged through my sternum to my jaw, and a bowel obstruction where they had to give me IV morphine in the ER. It’s worse than those.
Several. Colchicine, NSAIDs, and corticosteroids for attacks & allopurinol and febuxostat to (ideally) prevent attacks. Dietary changes can help but it’s not caused by diet, just exacerbated by eating certain things. It’s an inborn error of metabolism.
There’s no cure though. And there are drawbacks to all of those drugs, and I know from personal experience that allopurinol causes me to have a massively disabling attack, because changes to your serum uric acid levels *either* way can cause that, even if lowering them helps in the long run.
Honestly the way it’s seen by doctors as kind of trivial is so fucking weird and that’s what really upsets me. It’s a cultural bias, almost a delusion.
I know it used to be attributed to overeating? that was always my vague sense of what it was. and I hadn't realized it was even still a thing honestly.
It’s not uncommon. About 4% of the US population has it. And it’s not at all related to overeating. That said, if you have it, there are things you should not eat, that are high in purines. Shellfish, aged cheeses and meats, alcoholic beverages, etc.
But for whatever reason it’s seen as this old-timey sore foot thing where you take a couple Advil instead of it actually being way past pain they’ll even now prescribe oxycodone for.
GAGS (#GWA Advanced Gender Search) is a tool for searching #EroticAudio / #AudioPorn subreddits like #GoneWildAudio and #EroticHypnosis. unlike GWASI, GAGS lets you search for exactly which listener genders and speaker genders you want. for example you could search for only files by trans men or genderqueer people, and exclude all files for men. I hope this will be especially helpful for beings with complicated sexualities and/or genders who can’t just search for something simple like
[F4M]so if you’re interested in that, please give it a try! keep in mind that it might be a little bit slow because I’m using a cheap VPS, and the reddit API is also very slow
please let me know if:
you use a screen-reader and run into problems screen-reading GAGS
you’re confused about how to use GAGS (I want to make the UI as easy-to-understand as I can)
you get an error page when trying to use it, or you can’t connect to it
it takes more than 30 seconds to load a page (this is way too long)
you find a security vulnerability
most importantly, if you like GAGS or it helped you find something good. I would love to know that I was able to help!
I have very limited energy, but if there’s enough interest and I have the energy to spare then I do want to keep improving #GAGSProject, so feedback is appreciated 💙
also, if GAGS was helpful then please consider boosting this post so that more beings can try it. I don’t want to get deluged with traffic or anything but I’d like to help as many beings as possible find hot audios to listen to that are tailored to their gender and orientation
@GravyWagon I had never heard of such a thing. It’s not like carp which are gross mud fish, nobody should eat that shit. They’re basically just little tuna.
I think they’re usually canned and generally I think we associate canned fish and meats with Depression Era/Cold War food, aside from tuna. A lot of Americans don’t like fish. Mackerel are beautiful, I’ve caught a few around this time of year in NC.
"grey greta" @rogerwaters does not understand there are some conflicts where it is unwise to choose a side. He prattles in his dotage about human rights yet has derived pleasure from belittling other people his entire life, including wives and bandmates 🙄 counterpunch.org/2025/08/01/th…

People often ask me, "how did you learn all of this stuff?"
And quite frankly, at one point in my life, I did, " ls /usr/bin"
and then read the man page for every single fucking thing in there.
and that attitude never stopped. Hell, that attitude existed for years before that moment. I read everything I can get my hands on.
But, I digress.
A few years later, I knew a thing or two about UNIX.
I read the fucking manual.
When I buy a new refrigerator, I read the fucking manual.
When I get a new stove, I read the fucking manual.
When my home's furnace stopped working on Dec 24 2012, I blew the technician on the phone's mind away because I had already read the fucking manual and knew what the flashing lights meant. I didn't have a fix from the manual, but based on my description, he lead me to a basic short term solution, got my house warm again, and saved me about $700 in emergency repairs.
Before I ever touched a computer, I was reading the fucking instructions.
I realize it is now high and mighty to place ourselves above end users who.... don't know how to RTFM.
@The Psychotic Network Ferret It's all about staying curious. For me, it's just wanting something, wondering if it's possible, and reading up on related things with the goal in mind of achieving that thing.
A week ago, I'd never even really looked at PHP or CSS. But I wanted to make a theme for my fedi software. Now, I've made two of them, just from looking at the code and asking, "what the hell does that even do?", and reading to find out, a million times.
And breaking things. A lot of breaking things. Not being afraid to make the stuff that already mostly works not work whatsoever in an effort to eventually make it work perfectly.

Nintendo Music "Special Release" Adding Tracks From Kirby's New Switch 2 Game
A first for Nintendo's music app.Nintendo Music is mostly known for regular retro soundtrack updates, but this week it's completely different, with the Japanese firm announcing we're actually getting some music from a game that's not even out yet.
So hot and muggy this evening. I work outside for 15 minutes and cool off and enjoy another cup of water for 15 minutes, repeat. Maintaining the garden is hard work.
I repaired the air conditioner in my car this afternoon in the blazing heat. Finding the problem required hooking the computer to the car. The diagnostics showed no communications with the air compressor. That's right, the compressor has a CPU and a high voltage motor inverter inside.
The connector looked good, so I did the other wiring troubleshooting trick of pulling the wires if there's one broken. And yes, I found two broken communication wires. I soldered and heat shrink sealed them, reinstalled everything, vacuumed the system for an hour, then charged the specified refrigerant.
And the air was cold. All electric and quiet. The computer in the car was amazing, showing the evaporator had two temperature sensors, one for the refrigerant inside the evaporator and one on the fins. The expanding refrigerant temperature was computer set at freezing and the fin temperature was a few degrees above that to prevent ice accumulation. It showed the compressor running at 5000 rpm and over two kilowatts. There were dozens of other sensors displayed too. I was a total nerd and reading them all while adjusting the temperature.
The sun has set and the house battery is now charging the yard tool batteries. I plan on setting up a hammock on the porch and lay in front of the fan. The playful raccoons and opossums should be out to join me again tonight. They love finishing off what's left of the bird food I left on the ground. The nocturnal animals are amazing and friendly. Even the skunks. Fireflies and glow bugs are out too. Feels delightful to be alive off grid and away🌌
