My 13yo held up a glass of water and asked me if it had microplastics in it. "Probably," I replied. He then said he wasn't going to drink it, and I told him that microplastics are EVERYWHERE. You can't avoid it, they're in all the water and air. I explained that it's a problem we need to solve at society's level - a huge amount of environmental microplastics come from car tires, and we need to wean ourselves off of fossil fuels.
He and the 8yo both then as…

We had a surprise opportunity to go to the beach this weekend, near Southport NC. I have the weird preference to sling my hammock under the house, between the clotheslines, instead of sleeping indoors. Half camping? I use a big rubbermaid box as my "suitcase" and put my shoes on it overnight... It was cold at night, but an underquilt and reflecting bubble insulation in the hammock, with an inflatable mattress on top of my down sleeping bag, kept me cozy.
My wife and I went to …

Stop Giving Harm a Microphone by Andrea Fomera
"But still, it’s caused me to want to withdraw myself and disengage in the communities I found purpose and belonging in. This is a direct consequence of giving microphones and amplifying the behavior of people who post their “opposing views” online and engage in bad faith arguments."

In the Skyraider II crash in Oklahoma the other day, I hadn't previously seen this angle showing the stop sign. I guess they did eventually come to a complete stop!
(Everyone on the ground and in the plane was OK, thanks to a driver with a dashcam noticing and swerving out of the way, whence this sti…

I'm looking for inexpensive linear actuators. I bought a $15 unit that uses an M3x0.5mm threaded rod and it's not horrible, but the effector has a lot of backlash. This has more stroke than I need; I only need about 65mm of stroke. But I wouldn't want to be particularly larger than this. Roughly 20mm x 20mm x 100mm would be my target envelope.
I'll fall back to using this with backlash compensati…
