Yeah I was really disappointed when I saw that. Went to a show on their “farewell tour” last year, and they were really hyping up the fact it would be the last opportunity to see them live. Tickets were already stupid expensive. Not only was that a complete lie, but now they’re playing at this ridiculous monolith? I feel slightly betrayed.

That’s a fantastic analogy lol

The future really is chrome

I was curious about that too. They look like Torq-set to me, being that the slots are offset from the center of the screw. If that’s the case they’re shouldn’t be any cam out at all.

In either case the fasteners that were stuck appear to be Hex head, and the phillips looking fasteners just held a protective cover in place (?)

I would imagine NASA would know better than to use Philips for anything lol.

By the way there is a link on the page to more images of the assembly

I really want to see the tool they developed to do this.

Edit: This NASA blog page has some images and more details of the tools themselves

oh my…

I actually kinda like ambient mode when watching on my phone

In the US its always been the standard as far as I’m aware. I think its so its impossible to confuse cents for the dollar amount if you have poor handwriting. For example mistaking the value of this check as $401 instead of $4.01

That’s a different Linus

I love the grand tour, but especially in the last few specials you can tell they’re getting pretty old to be doing the kind of traveling and shenanigans that is expected of them. With clarksons farm, our man in x and the few youtube channels they have I’m ready for them to move on and embrace new avenues of creativity.

16/24. That was surprisingly difficult lol

Nanotechnology

Yep, we both failed there. So what’s your strategy for organizing cables that reduces waste without sacrificing convinience? Personally I’ve been using the same exact ziploc bags for 13 years, so is that really waste?

Great input. Fantastic perspective. Everyone give this person a round of applause.

What the fuck

Haha, true

I don’t think I agree. Who watches Hells Kitchen and thinks, “man, doing extremely complex and fast paced cooking in a stressful environment with a chef who’s verbally assaulting me at every moment seems very appealing, I should change my occupation!” Aside from people with a superiority complex and a ‘Can’t lose’ mentality.

I honestly think it’s more likely to drive people away from jobs in the food industry, especially if they’re not already interested in cooking. That being said the dramatization factor is definitely there, and I would hope that most people at this stage would recognize that “reality” tv and competitions like this don’t actually represent reality at all, at least in most circumstances.

Is this supposed to be surprising

It’s actually the most reliable PC we have in terms of actual hardware lol.

I run a CNC machine which requires XP for the control program. The only other option was DOS. We installed it via floppy
