LOST MY VOICE LOST MY MIND FIRST TIME MY NETWORK HAS EVER LANDED ITSELF ON A BARGE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN

[Eric Berger @SciGuySpace]

HOLY SHIT! They landed the booster. Huge congratulations to Blue Origin and everyone who worked their asses off to make this happen.

found out recently that the protein powder i’ve been eating consistently for several years apparently has higher-than-safe levels of lead & arsenic in it. so maybe that explains some things huh

[TracketPacer @TracketPacer]

@0xTib3rius oh no 😥 i’ve just been dry scooping it into my mouth every morning

[TracketPacer @TracketPacer]

@chhopsky thanks ♥️

[TracketPacer @TracketPacer]

@srp0000 nah i’m just dumb

[TracketPacer @TracketPacer]

@Gareth_PanChem thanks for trying to make me feel better but this is not how lead works in the body

[TracketPacer @TracketPacer]

@cybersecdancer it was a specific brand called Orgain, so not all protein powder ♥️

@Dayvee87 dream job fr

[TracketPacer @TracketPacer]

Mike & i recently tested 295 ft of uncoiled CAT6… for science

TL;DR - previously certified CAT6 cable failed via insertion loss in both coiled & uncoiled tests in the field. we believe the insertion loss was very likely due to the heat (it was a bright summer day & the cable sat in the sun for a few hours).

otherwise, the results between the two were so close that we came to the conclusion that coiled vs uncoiled makes very little difference 👍🏼

[TracketPacer @TracketPacer]

@Dayvee87 Mike has done that before! he said the freezer made it perform better than normal 😂
