I scored a mitutoyo dual caliper, micrometer, and bore gauges. I also got a fowler indicator, stand, and surface plate. Managed to get everything for $50. 
Also pictured is the poolish I have fermenting for bread I'm going to make tomorrow.
I've used that script and can confirm it works. I was actually coming into this thread to recommend it. I don't think there is anything nefarious in that script. Or at least I haven't had anything bad happen on the machine I used it on. I suppose someone with more knowledge could look through the script to see if anything looks out of place.
Burgerland has fallen. 
Why is every drawing Ben does somehow weirdly horny? Pete has a pretty flat ass so I'm not sure why he drew him with that dump truck. Unless it's a play on his last name or something.
Yeah I used a powershell script to activate mine.
The show "Suits" is probably the most lib a show has ever been.
Is it just me or has American ~~media~~ literacy gotten noticeably worse lately?
Yes, tho it was always piss poor.
I have been editing vids of myself flying missions in dcs that I never intend to show anyone. Yet I still do it. 
These flashy fuckers are 1.5 meters tall and have these beautiful bright orange flowers on them. The species is "Lilium Lancifolium" or "tiger lilies". The previous owner of our house planted tons of them around the yard and now each year they come back.
It also functions as a portable Gameboy cartridge player. 
I'm the opposite. American conservatism looooves to be the martyr. If you meet them with atheism, they'll calcify in their beliefs because you're proving their world view correct.
In my opinion, the only way to counter American religious conservatism is to explain to them how far divorcd their beliefs are from the actual words of Christ. There is plenty of revalutionary text in there, you just have to know where to look and how to frame it. I quote Acts to these heathens every single opportunity I get. I attribute quotes from Marx to Jesus, and I explain communism through the lens of Christ vison of his church. Just don't say the word communism.
What is the criteria they used to determine these targets? Looks like it's just a "towns over a certain size will get nuked" type thing.
I like to play flight sims, and a rudder pedal is a pretty important accessory to me. The problem is that the ones that are available to purchase are either prohibitively expensive or they're designed to be thrown away when they fail.
Well, after throwing away my second set of pedals, I decided to design my own. Serviceability is my primary design consideration. Having to change out a potentiometer every couple hundred hours of use is a non-issue if the process to do so takes 10 mins from start to finish.
The pedals operate as an accessory to the throttle controler (TWCS T.1600M) that was part of the set the original pedals came with. The throttle has a rj12 connection on it that allows it to connect several additional axis's. So I'm just feeding the potentiometer directly into that jack, letting the throttle controler figure it out, and then assigning it an axis in game. I will eventually replace the throttle interface with my own onboard Arduino controller but that's a different project for a different day.
I originally tried to use a small rotational dampener I scavenged from an industrial cabinet that had soft close drawers. But it didn't give me enough resistance, so I added the cheapest motorcycle steering dampener I could find. Now it has great feel. The only drawback is that it doesn't self center, but that's a feature since I primarily fly helicopters.
The parts bill was around $70~
