Fun fact, sodium flouride is a naturally occuring salt in ground water.

A gaggle.
Of dicks, specifically.

I definitely forgot the moleskin in mine. I’ll have to add that in next time I’m home.

Decide what your end goal is. Trauma kit, or just an ouch pouch? For basic injuries I pack adhesive bandages of various sizes, a little bit of gauze to help slow down a decent cut before bandaging, some ibuprofen, gloves, burn ointment, and maybe some antiseptic towelettes. In my camping ouch pouch I add in Neosporin for bug bites, tick tweezers, instant cold packs, and some nausea medicine.

In my portable trauma kit (it’s actually a small pack with both ouch and emergency compartments), I have more gloves, a fair bit of different sized packing gauze (quick clot), a compression bandage, emergency foil blanket, chest seals, a sharpie, and mounted on the outside are trauma shears and a CAT Gen 5 tourniquet in a dedicated holster. As a bonus, I have a moldable splint in an emergency survival bag with the rest of my kit.

If I remember, I can share some pics in a few days.

I want to say late 2000’s to early 2010’s was when my friends and I all built our own PCs for about $500.

I recall it being a period of at least 10 years. A prior generation GPU would run about $150-200. The CPU/Mobo was the most expensive part

I miss the days when $500 could build a “console killer”

That looks like the mini SATA connection for my external HDD

I’m definitely going to have to check those out. It’s been a minute since I was in midtown. I used to head over there to get an EDM fix at Canvas on a Friday night.

Granted, I’m on a new schedule, so I have a lot of catching up to do now that I finally have nights and weekends off.

That Mexican absolutely is fantastic. I got hooked on Los Comales for a couple of weeks during a training class.

I’m stuck here for a long time. No plans on changing jobs any time soon.

Come for the BBQ, learn it’s all been replaced with Mexican food, stay because someone stole your car.

I know it’s a bit more niche here, so I try to chime in when I see airplane stuff. An account I had on a now-defunct instance had a bunch of airplane memes and comments.

Absolutely on the delamination. Paint on metal can go for a minute and be okay as long as there’s primer still protecting the metal; but on composite the flaking will just lead to more flaking. Plus, the water intrusion damage and wicking you can get with carbon fiber. Gotta check that stuff often.

Hi, aircraft mechanic here. I don’t have a lot of experience with the 787, but here’s what I know based on composites, working PAX service, and general airplane BS.
787’s are new-ish, but not THAT new. An airplane even a year old can start to show wear and tear depending on the carrier.
787’s have composite wings, which flex a LOT. Great for performance, no so great for rigid bits like paint.
Aircraft paint is typically a two-part mixture with an epoxy resin base. It’s pretty tough stuff designed to handle temperature changes, UV, abrasion, etc. That being said, paint mixed later in service for repairs might not quite match in color and texture. If the airline buys cheap paint to cut costs, well, it’s going to flake off quicker.
Typically, your brushed-on paint done during overnight maintenance isn’t going to last as long as the paint sprayed on in a clean, well prepared environment with even application. It’s likely you will have to repaint that area.
When I worked PAX, we took extra care to keep the top of the wing painted in good condition and avoid using speed tape to temporarily cover missing paint patches unless absolutely necessary. It’s well known this is a high visibility area for customers. From what I recall, the airline would respray entire areas of the aircraft as needed during heavy checks to keep the paint in good condition. Cargo service? Who cares! As long as it meets airworthiness requirements per the manufacturer, send it! Most of the time, the paint is such a poor match it sticks out like a sore thumb. I recall seeing a 747 freighter at one point that looked like it had a green, receding hairline from all the exposed primer it had running down the hump.

So, all things considered, yes, that paint job looks terrible. However, it’s not going to affect the performance of the aircraft. Any exposed composite is going to get covered or painted as soon as it’s spotted to help protect it and prevent further paint erosion. If anything, all those paint patches might cost the airline a few extra drops (and I do mean drops) of fuel by the end of the flight from parasitic drag.

If we include Pluto, we will have 14 planets in our solar system, and I’m okay with that.
In order of proximity to the sun, we have Ceres, Pluto, Huema, MakeMake, and Eris.

Granted, there’s currently only 5 officially recognized, and the IAU says there may be more than 100 objects in our solar system that qualify that are yet to be discovered.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any good advice, but I do want to point out that making friends continues to become more difficult as you get older. From what I understand, it’s important to have some sort of activity that takes you away from home and work where you can potentially meet people. When you get older and have a family, that becomes even more difficult as your spare time dries up.
