Thanks! And I do wear it almost every day, as evidenced by the multiple scratches on the crystal

Commemorative Soviet watch made in the late 80s or early 90s, for the Buran space shuttle.

Yeah, I wish there was a company that made a fully dumb electric car

I’ve been thinking this too. How hard is it to start a car company, I wonder?

Of even if they have nothing bad to say, obsess about it anyways and think they must be lying to not hurt your feelings

The postwar attitude towards food was somewhat different than ours today. Back then, processed food was seen as a technological marvel, a symbol of man’s mastery over nature. Fortified bread meant your kids could get their essential nutrients. Any kind of vegetable could be found in a can - no more reliance on whatever was in season. Everything a housewife could need was pre-packaged, condensed, powdered, canned, or frozen. Processed food was advertised as tastier, healthier, and easier to prepare. Food companies would publish recipes like this, which were basically just “toss a can of this and a can of that together for an easy meal!”

You could experiment with astrophotography, maybe try and catch some star trails with it.

Everyone has to slow down so they can point and laugh.

 

"[The water] rushes with great impetuosity; the foaming surges dash through the rocks with terrific violence; no craft, either large or small, can venture there safely. During floods, this obstruction, or ledge of rocks, is covered with water, yet the passage of the narrows is not thereby improved."

The rapids, along with nearby Celilo Falls, were submerged in 1957 with the construction of a dam.

 

Several years ago I leapt enthusiastically into the realm of 3D printing by buying a massive, expensive delta-type printer. I had to put it together myself, which was fun, but after that I struggled to get it to print well. Even simply trying to get the prints to stick to the bed were difficult, leading me to add huge brims to all my parts which were a pain to cut off afterward. Eventually I gave up fiddling with it and it’s been gathering dust ever since.

I know that a lot of you treat the hobby as an opportunity for endless tinkering and optimization, which is great, but I think I’ve realized that what I’d prefer is something that just works out of the box with a minimum of adjustment.
