the webb space telescope is producing its first test images. here it is compared to the previous best IR space telescope, the spitzer: seems pretty good! i like knowing that there are still good things happening.

yeah it is. check out this video from a guy who built a 3d printed copy of the actuators that move the JWST's mirrors. using a single stepper motor and some incredibly clever and cool engineering, it can drive its segment of the mirror back and forth a couple of inches with 8 nanometer precision. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MxH1sfJLBQ the zero-backlash flexure that achieves the final precision totally geometrically, like an old fashioned reducing pantograph, is just so drat cool.

TITTIEKISSER69 posted:i once stayed in a house in rural france (airbnb) and it had a wc that only had a toilet it's very common in Europe to have an extra toilet room in houses and decently sized flats. often referred to as guest toilet. what's really strange though is that not all of them have sinks and some only sinks with cold water. It's probably has something to do with old buildings and how they were retrofitted with pipes for running water. most buildings here are built out of bricks or reinforced concrete, so remodeling them is a lot more Labour and time intensive than in the US. Replacing pipes alone is often a big challenge and rerouting them can require getting the consent by multiple parties as very often the Appartements are individually owned. Our current apartment is in a 4 story building from 1860 that had its last floor and attic converted to 3 two-story units. We just moved into one of those new units and got a bathroom with a bathtub (and shower head), toilet, bidet, sink for 2 people + another small room containing a toilet with a small sink.

I have never seen a EU toilet without a sink. I have seen old city apartments where they have retrofitted a toilet and sink into an actual tiny closet. In buildings that are old enough that they used to have outhouses in the courtyard or shared bathrooms in the basement.

weird poo poo about the G4 iMac: • it took both DIMM and SODIMM memory (the DIMM was "internal" to the unit behind some Torx or Security Torx screws, forget which),the SODIMM was considered user-serviceable and behind 4 captive Philips head screws in the baseplate. If you look at the picture below, think of the user-serviceable area as being a thin plate under the unit, whereas the "internal" area is splitting the bottom half of the ball off of the rest of it where the two pieces join (the seam under the optical drive). • the service kit available to Apple service providers included a foam rig for holding the display in the correct service position and a tool to release the screws on the neck - these screws had three holes arranged in a triangular pattern and like anything properly Apple were hilariously proprietary. • the NSW RTA (think DMV) at one point replaced most (all?) of their workstations with 15" iMac G4s, so I'm guessing they were reliable enough. • the 20" iMac G4 is objectively one of the most beautiful pieces of industrial design I think I've ever seen. I mean, they all look pretty good but something about the bigger screen really gets the proportions spot-on  sarcastx fucked around with this message at 13:00 on May 10, 2022 |

Doc Block posted:hot water helps kill bacteria the most important thing is obviously soaping up properly, and also if you're really that concerned about bacteria you'll make sure either to use a non-/single-touch faucet or clean the handle after turning on the water because otherwise you're just grabbing hold of something just fondled by dirty hands (possibly someone else's at that). i'm pretty sure basically nobody ever even thinks about that, though

Sombrerotron posted:if you're washing your hands with boiling water for a while, sure, but i'm a little doubtful that washing your hands with regular hot water for 10 seconds tops (which is probably a generous estimate - i mostly see people taking only a few seconds) will seriously hurt bacteria The purpose of hot water when washing hands is not to kill bacteria, but to loosen the oils that can harbor bacteria. The soap kills the bacteria by destroying the cell walls.

Hot water is very helpful if you're trying to shave. Also you will need some hot water piped in to avoid having freezing cold water in the winter. people tend to wash more thoroughly if they're given warm water to work with versus plain "as cold as it gets".
