Paps needs to walk from his room to a car, wait for you, the player to sit with him into said car, and then drive you across a town to a completely different location. Seamlessly.

alojapan.com/1256782/tokyo-sub Tokyo subway line extension project targets 2040 completion #2040 #completion #extension #Line #project #subway #targets #Tokyo #TokyoTopics #東京 #東京都 TOKYO — The Tokyo Metropolitan Government expects to complete an extension of the Oedo subway line by around 2040, according to a draft plan to improve transportation access across the capital. The extension would add roughly 4 kilometers of rail that spans three new stations in the northwestern…

Got to use my *very best* swear words today! This is the line pressure sensor on a 545RFE transmission in an 02 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I'm having issues shifting 2-3 and 3-2, and I got an error code P0932 (LINE PRESSURE SENSOR CIRCUIT FAULT), so it was pretty obvious what I needed to replace.

Now, the video to replace this used a Ram 1500. Lots of room, super easy! The Grand Cherokee does *not* have that sort of room. I had about a millimeter of clearance to get a socket in here and remove the bolt holding the sensor in place. Threading the bolt back in was especially awful.

But hey, it works! Nice clean shifts now and I don't have any more codes!

Trying to bid for a #research #project fixed maximum cost, partners over Europe, and highly ambitious. I might get some 8months 20 days of postdoc time, vs the 2+ years partners elsewhere will be getting. The 100% overheads system in the UK is bonkers.

There used to be a commercial version of
#Firefox originally.
It was called
#NetscapeNavigator.
Then
#Microsoft made #InternetExplorer and released it for free.
Then you saw most websites have a little plaque on their home page "Designed to work with
#Internet #Explorer".
Then Netscape went away and Firefox was born.
Then you saw
#Google release its own #Chrome #browser.
And
#Apple. (Internet Explorer and Firefox were both available for the Mac originally).
And then Apple borrowed the source code for the
#Konqueror #web #browser from the #KDEProject and release their browser for free. (Apple didn't pay anything to the #KDE #project too by the way.)
See a pattern here?
They already tried charging for a browser.
#Netscape #Navigator cost $19.95 back in the day.
It didn't work.

Started to work on the chair cushions. Not done yet. Shaping the foam was a little harder than I thought. Attempted to pull the buttons enough to cause creases, but doesn't look very successful. (Can try those again of course). And I have a ton of excess material on back after stretching which I need to trim... the vinyl is REALLY stretchy. #reupholstering #diy #project #furniture

Who needs a 3D printer or commercial thread stand, when you have Talenti ice cream containers and scrap copper wire? (A thread stand allows you to use the large spools of thread on a normal machine, and also helps improve the feed of modern cross wound sewing spools onto vintage machines) 🤪#diy #project #sewing

#Project #Tiger is a wildlife conservation movement initiated in India to protect the endangered tiger. The project was initiated in 1973 by the Ministry of Environment, of the Government of India.

As of March 2025, there are 58 protected areas that have been designated as tiger reserves under the project. As of 2023, there were 3,682 wild tigers in India, which is almost 75% of the world's wild tiger population.

The challenge for Dani's Race is deliberately not to be a movie. As in the game should not have cuts, nor there ever should be a moment when the player loses control over the character. Yet through all those limitations I want to continue a story I started in an actua...

Ooh, this reupholstering will be doable for sure. The beading on this is just stapled on the edge of the cushions. And everything is screwed together with wood screws. Need to acquire foam. The stuff in here is actually quite terrible and cheap. Thin cheap vinyl. Also have to figure out buttons. 🤔#reupholstering #diy #project
