Break into their safe in two minutes or less with this one simple trick!

Edit: called it, got Kinja’d.

And it was glorious  

UPDATE: THEY HAVE PICTURES OF A BLACK HOLE!!!!
EDIT: LIVE NOW, PRELIMINARIES GOING ON AT THE MOMENT. Starting at 13:00 UTC (09:00 EDT) there will be a press conference from the Event Horizon Telescope team. It is assumed that they will be announcing and showing the first images of a black hole event horizon. This…

This afternoon I got a scammer from a company called Webshop Producers calling me at work. Claiming that we owe them $599 for services that they provided us. I replied that we have never done business with them, etc. but they continued pushing the issue until I hung up on them. She called back about 12 seconds later…

If you’re interested in spaceflight and aviation but you don’t follow Scott Manley on YouTube, you’re missing out. He posts a lot of interesting and informative videos about current aerospace projects going on. He also gets into some of the more interesting technical history of aviation and spaceflight on occasion.…

If you’re ever within striking distance of Pensacola you need to visit the Naval Aviation Museum. Parking and admission are free. It is on base at Pensacola Naval Air Station, so you need to enter through the specified gate and show valid government issued photo ID that complies with the RealID Act. If you show up on…

Double posted because my modem hiccuped and things didn’t appear to save, but then they did because Kinja, but sometimes it showed me the double post and sometimes it didn’t show the double post.

UPDATE 2: Added deorbit burn and splashdown (~13 minutes).

I present to you the greatest ski gloves in the WURLD! These gloves have been in use since at least 2011, though probably before then. They have been on a couple ski trips, been used for skiing locally, been used for shoveling my roof, running the snow blower and have been generally abused. They have held up to every…

If you fall you die.

There was plenty of snow, the problem is that it was too windy to spin the lifts. I hung out for a while seeing if they would run, then got goaded into hiking for a run. It really wasn’t worth it. The wind made things pretty gnarly. Thigh deep wind drifts mixed with wind blown crust made for pretty dicey conditions on…

The forecast for the end of the week is looking pretty solid. Funny how skiers see a forecast like this and get all excited, but everyone else sees that and says “eff that, I’m staying in bed.” I once saw a quote, probably in Powder Magazine talking about skiers that went something like this: “skiers wait until a…

Yesterday it was actually clear shortly before sunset and we got to see a sun dog. The other one was hiding behind the trees, so I didn’t bother trying to get both in the picture. Besides, that would mean having the sun in the middle and would have just ended up with a blown out iPotato picture.

Achievement unlocked! The STI is broken in. Now I can drive it like I stole it and rev it to redline instead of keeping it under 4000 rpm per the break in procedure. Except the roads around here will be ice and snow for approximately 6 more months, so that tends to be difficult this time of year. I took the picture…

It takes 510 seconds and a couple hundred miles to get the Space Shuttle from the launch pad to orbit.  During that time you get accelerated to about 18,000 miles per hour.
