From what I understand the polished limestone is accurate for many pyramids, but the gold pyramidion seems to be more of an edge case on some smaller pyramids.

A gold top wouldn’t even be visible from the ground on a large polished white pyramid.

CarPlay/Android Auto doesn’t require a modem in the car. Your phone already has a modem in it.

I thought this would be a mammogram?

I wonder if it’s not so much the density/opacity, but rather refraction. Significant difference in density meaning diffraction, and we’re seeing the comparatively dark sky refracted through the exhaust plume?

Would love to see some of the 3d models showing how this all fits together.

I do like how modular the shifting mechanism is in SRAM levers. I’ve seen aftermarket parts available for these sort of 10-11 or road11 > mountain12 swaps. Also easy to remove whole shift mechanism for 1x or singlespeed setups.

PAGWGs? (Phat-Ass Great-White Girls)

I’ve done plenty of skate skiing, and thought about getting the skates as well, but never tried it so far.

Is it something you’ve done before, or are looking to get into?

I wonder how many re-makes of TR1 we’ll get in all. So far:

• TR1
• Tomb Raider Anniversary (same story, similar levels, new controls and engine)
• TR1 Remastered (original engine, new models and textures
• Legend of Atlantis (modified story? Otherwise all new)

Not tired of them yet, played them all so far and won’t stop now.

Hyped for this!

Wonder why they decided to announce both at the same time though. Seems like a bit of an odd choice.

What I got was a bit bluer teal, I think. Didn’t feel like a colour that couldn’t be reproduced by adding a bit of blue to the mix, but definitely different than just the teal on the screen on its own.

Interesting video though.

Weren’t each of the pyramids built by one pharaoh? Then each would be about one generation of work only?

Horsehead Sheeran?

That makes a lot more sense. I was struggling to parse that sentence out as being about civil union.

Thanks.

‘How can a woman marry a man who won’t marry?’

I’m not sure I understand.

Finally got some new outlets installed in the basement, near my workbench.

Surely, if printing money (theoretically) causes inflation; and if collecting taxes reduces inflation, then the two are somewhat closely related.

If the amount of money that can be created by the government is somewhat limited, then surely tax money is another valid source for that money.

Wouldn’t that be 60 Hz without a rectifier, and 120 Hz with one? If the voltage crosses zero twice per cycle, but goes negative only once.

Makes sense.

In that case better for efficiency than interior blinds, but still blocking your view out.

Would be handy for an especially hot day or week, but I wouldn’t like to have to keep my windows covered all summer.

Interior blinds are mentioned in the video: basically since they’re behind the glass the energy is still getting in and green-housing a bit. Blinds heating up is heat inside the room. Also block the view out, which awnings don’t.

Run energy changes sound like a good idea. IIRC this is already similar to how RS3 does it; Iwonder when it changed there. Though weight feels like it has no impact in RS3, so that’s probably a good way to balance it.
