  1. 🎹 Behold, the Wanamaker Organ: because who wouldn't want to visit a department store for an epic earful of gargantuan pipe dreams? 😂 Just be sure to consult Wikipedia’s cryptic robot policy first, if you dare! 🤖🔒

  2. ...even if the federal government lifts the emissions cap, waives the tanker ban, and makes significant amendments to the Impact Assessment Act, it still won’t clear the biggest hurdle standing in the way of Smith’s pipe dreams: math.

  3. But they're all trucks and SUV's. If you want an engine and wheels, then the price goes up. Not that this is a solution either, we have too many of them in the world. Believe it or not, I've loved cars since I was a teen, but climate change isn't going away by feeding our dependence on them.

  4. Hi @analgesicsleep - I know you're an admirer of the pipe organ, and every Sunday at 11pm ET, WQXR.org broadcasts the program #PipeDreams (which also has a website with some episodes). Enjoy 🎶 #BaroqueSun #SymSat

  5. I have bought a #Euromillions ticket for tomorrow. If I win the jackpot, I promise to build the UK Laser museum to preserve the history of the laser display industry, and to teach and inspire the next generation of laserists to listen to something other than Pink bloody Floyd! 🤣

  6. @c_9 I'm reminded of that elevated expressway that fell over after the San Francisco earthquake in the 80's. Traffic was forced to re-route itself, having lost that highway .. and it actually managed just fine.

    The Gardiner could terminate at Dunn Avenue, then we could tear down the elevated portion. The Lakeshore would replace the Gardiner.

  8. 21 years ago, I was splayed under a tarp in a steady rain/downpour in Molina Basin in the Catalinas, ~200 miles or so in on the #ArizonaTrail ! My passage through Sabino Cyn would be similarly wet and dreary. Too bad. Mebbe do a Mulligan here?

    #SouthCarolina #NuclearPlant's cracked pipes get downgraded warning from officials

    By The Associated Press
    December 29, 2023

    "The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission downgraded its preliminary 'yellow' warning for #VCSummer Nuclear Station issued this October to a final 'white' one after owner and operator #DominionEnergy showed its generator could still run for six hours in an emergency, the agency announced Thursday.

    "That demonstration calmed officials' concerns that Dominion Energy's failure to maintain #cracks and #leaks — discovered at least five times over the past two decades — had neutralized the plant's ability to cool down its reactors if electricity failed."

  10. I really want to buy a #flugelhorn this fall. But I can't decide whether I would actually take the time to rebuild the embouchure of yore, or if it would simply end up in the cupboard.

    I have my bass guitar, but it's stacked away and 95% of the time I settle for keyboard bass. And there's the electric guitar, for simple rhythm parts, but I usually chop up an old loop instead. But brass is a different beast altogether. I imagine I'd put it to good use... Would I, though?? #pipeDreams

    Protecting the Amazon requires fresh thinking, eminent ecologist argues

    news.mongabay.com/2023/08/prot

    When it comes to the trajectory of Amazon deforestation, “we’re in a bad spot,” according to ecologist and conservation biologist Tim Killeen. With 30 years of experience living and working in South America and participating in the first environmental impact study conducted in Bolivia, Killeen has unique insight into the drivers of deforestation.

  12. @travissouthard maybe if renters couldn't be evicted, investors would quit buying up all those cheap properties, and ... people could actually afford to buy them to live in! #pipedreams

  13. I wish that swiftUI had a `.enabled()` to go with `.disabled()` for readability purposes. #work #pipedreams

  15. @werwolf totally, but the problem with email for site authentication is the site developer has to write the authentication mechanisms themselves, which leaves them open to security vulnerabilities.
    In short, the site could store your password in plain text and you wouldn't know.
    Using third party OAuth takes this requirement and concern away from the developer - if you self host your own OAuth all your authentication mechanisms take place on your own equipment, it would be great.
