Okay, I need some input from people on an upcoming project idea. I am trying to decide what works better for the "terminus module" for my train. Do I just make the end with one switch to allow me to shove cars? Or do I make it with two switches and the blue area holds the engine?

@InAnOtterPlace I have no problem with members-only content, but that just feels like the most LOW effort content, ever.

@Hotshot_Movie It would be better for aerial mapping of a fire area & firefighters to avoid getting trapped. Just my grumpy $0.02.

@CaLandBird Honestly, if people know how to use them, they aren't bad! The problem is when people who don't know how to use them use them...

@DJSnM What I love is how they were genuinely super chill talking about what was considered impossible. Mad respect to all of them for what they did.

@eevblog I remember watching an episode of "Impossible Engineering" as a kid that was about a transatlantic tunnel that had a vacuum inside to reduce drag. They mentioned the problem with trying to evacuate the air, and then, in the event of an emergency, where do the passengers go?

@MCCCANM Not to mention, medical will kick you out ASAP. I know a railroad conductor who was a CFI until trying to get an FAA waiver was too much, and he decided to put it on pause.

@Bartfare @SFBART Big yikes.

@MCCCANM One of the people I do full-size trains with is trans, and honestly, they are low-key about it. It doesn't change my trust in them at all.

@lwoodhouse I know at least 3 addresses that I either got mail at or used to live at...

@StephenMPinto SMH, then throw in the fact that you have the Leaning Tower in the area, that alone ought to be enough to nuke the project.

I miss the "random Oreos in the break room" days... If you know, you know.

The USA has junk food varieties that would have never even crossed my mind as possibilities. 🤣

@StephenMPinto I'm one to argue that if you can show me quotes from contractors with guarantees to fix said issue, I'm more likely to say yes. Otherwise, absolutely not. I mean, how much did Caltrain spend on their EMUs to end up almost worse off?

Welcome back to the https://t.co/DqtqUG3ugM Hall of Shame. This week, we are shaming John Deere and the high-stakes battle over software ownership and the Right to Repair.

You buy the tractor, but they keep the keys. While a historic July 2026 FTC settlement forces John Deere to share repair software, DMCA loopholes mean farmers still own the iron, not the code.

@SFCCM I know Guinness had an industrial railway that hauled kegs & supplies around. It makes sense given the low rolling resistance of railways and the fact that stuff wasn't light.

Still making things. 🙂

@MCCCANM No one said it had to look pretty if it tastes good 🙂

[Make It With Calvin @MakeItWithCal]

@InAnOtterPlace I mean, TBF, hot dogs can be pretty tasty if done right.

@linusgsebastian People choose to leave a company for a multitude of reasons. It's not like the old days when you started at 16, sweeping the floor after school, and worked your way up to CEO. Now, it's strange if you last more than 5 years without hopping to a new gig.

@BlabberingC If you are into ziplines, the Fremont Street Zipline is fun 🙂
