Ever go to show someone how a thing is messed up, and somehow it's now working? Vorführeffekt. Go figure there's not an English word for it, but the Germans got you covered.

@hackaday That's how some fuel level senders work. Float turns the ribbon with a magnet and pointer attached. Magnet turns a potentiometer / HE sender for electrical output. Face is clear with a scale for local readability.

@smartereveryday Is that a bunch of bales of corn stalks?

[Alston Pike @ninjan33r]

@Etferg I don't think I woulda live-Facebooked my thoughts from the other side of a government shutdown the same way I did here.

Elon really Jimbo Fishered this didn’t he

@hackaday There's one more left, so there's still time! Does @justinlin still direct these?

Hypothesis: Billions of pens, teaspoons, and lighters are produced every year to replace those that go missing.

This indicates the universe is a simulation. These small objects are below a basic resolution level that means they stop being simulated when not directly observed.

@Etferg @Malwarebytes The whole bit about the intern. Priceless.

@Etferg One of the few good laws that came from Illinois.
