^^ Amusing at first, but once you understand the intrinsic problems with the brachycephalic breeds, it becomes difficult to avoid a somewhat perverse feeling akin to laughing at the severely handicapped. I wonder if that towel was perhaps soaked in cold water to help the little guy. I curse the morons who thought it would be a good idea to breed a serious deformity into a dog for the sake of human vanity.

This evening, I enabled noclip and found a hidden level between the 55th and 56th floors of my condo building.

Not sure if you guys have ever played this game. Came out like 7 years ago.. full of bugs. Fun but unplayable. Well it appears that they released it on steam and have been updating it ever since. No clue if its very stable but this game is like automation. However, this game wipes the floor with it. I'm posting it here because IMO its that awesome.
That said buying now. http://store.steampowered.com/app/497180/ |

https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...765d7e2910.png Brand new Optiplex 7440 All-in-One. i7. Never even had a chance to boot it up. Took it out of the box, set it on a table, and promptly knocked it off onto the concrete floor. Fuckballs... |

Fuck it. I hate All-in-One machines to begin with. Bought a mid-tower Optiplex 7040 and an Asus 21" touchscreen monitor to replace it. Pulled out the SSD and brought it home (it was pre-loaded with the robot control application), just got cloning it so I've got a virgin image as a backup before I install it into the replacement machine. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...e3c49ceefb.png |

Tatra produced armored cars and halftracks for the German Army during WWII. That continued after the war for the Iron Curtain nations. I attempted to import one in the 1990's, unsuccessfully.

https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...e6c1c9ba75.jpg BTW Tatra did also build some spectacular Dakar Trucks and afaik won quite a bit with them... https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...0e5dad7593.jpg |

The difference being that while the GDR was subdivided and annexed as spoils of war, The Czech Republic willingly* renounced its autonomy and became subordinate to the USSR by choice, much as several of the American territories did in the 1800s, to gain membership in the United States.
* = the government, not necessarily the people. * = even the government, not only the people ;-) As this is the pictures/videos thread and not the "past political events" - something to entertain (but with a connection to the former USSR) |

SHELL BLUFF, Ga. – After eight months of assembly, one of the world’s largest cranes is being tested this week at the site of Plant Vogtle’s two new reactors. “It can rotate 360 degrees, to serve both Unit 3 and Unit 4,” said David Clem, Southern Nuclear’s construction oversight director. The crane, or “heavy lift derrick,” has a main boom that juts 560 feet into the air and is rigged with 12 miles of steel cable. Operating the machine requires a five-person crew. Tests involve lifting loads totaling 1,500 tons at 300 feet of reach, Clem said. The Westinghouse AP1000 reactors being built in Burke County are the first in the U.S. to utilize a design that involves assembling large, prefabricated sections. At Vogtle, some of those components are assembled in a specialized building a few hundred yards from the “nuclear islands” that will house the reactors and containment vessels. The heaviest items will be moved along a strengthened “heavy haul road” from their point of assembly to the reactor sites, then lifted into place by the giant crane. Although the equipment is being tested at 1,500 tons, the components to be lifted will likely top out at about 1,300 tons, Clem said. The $14 billion project is one of two expansions that were licensed this year by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. A similar expansion is under way at SCANA’s V.C. Summer Nuclear Plant in South Carolina, where an identical crane has been assembled for use in that project. Unit 3 is scheduled to go online in 2016, and Unit 4 will follow in 2017, according to company officials. |

The first was a young phone phreak named Thorsten who somehow stumbled onto a BBS run on an Amiga 2000 in Florida in the 1980s, run by a (loose) friend of mine. Which now that I think about it is ironic, as the BBS was named Sanctuary of the Krasnians, run by a wannabe communist named Robert Dunn, who was also such a die-hard Cubs fan that the original primary dialup number was 813-625-2827, aka 625-CUBS. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...34969bbdd7.png And yes, he lived with his parents. For real. Anyway, we all know that I rarely post Youtube music videos, mostly because they still lack a search option for "does not suck." That having been said: Yeah. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...8ef4d2209c.png |
