testing facility for thyssenkrupp elevators in Zhongshan City
weird testing infra is doing numbers, so here we go:

anechoic chamber testing of avionics and electronic warfare systems
destructive testing
butt testing
cannons for firing chickens at aircraft for birdstrike testing
testing how loud floors are
animatronics test
testing bowling lanes
testing a monastery bell
testing video game controllers
testing highlighters
testing the limits of a helicopter
testing pallet packaging
testing ambulance safety
testing wind turbine blades
testing aircraft carrier launch systems
testing cats
testing a very scary torpedo
testing bus stability
testing (more of a demo) of tank brakes
destructive test of a spacecraft
I can’t believe I’ve waited this long to look at elevator testing facilities
There’s a whole world of elevator testing I am just now starting to appreciate

I don’t understand Dean’s constant self-congratulations for being a socialist.

He’s literally blocked >8,000 homes including >4,000 affordable homes on the basis of “this would look ugly next to my mansion” Image
Original reporting of @DeanPreston regressive legislative history by UC Berkeley:
It’s literally on the record that @DeanPreston blocked new housing after a rental landlord asked him to.

This isn’t a debate on socialism—it’s a statement that Dean consistently acts against his stated ideology and in the interest of wealthy landowners (including himself).

The reason I’m doing Alison Collison commentary instead of the usual machine shitposts right now is bc I’m a first gen Asian immigrant that went to a public school and dealt with holier-than-thou gatekeepers like her the entire time.
Your parents come barely speaking the language, sometime fleeing war or famine, and desperately try to figure out how to give their children a chance. Work multiple jobs to have a shot at a good school.
You have no idea how the social capital of extracurriculars work. People think your food is weird (or, I was on discounted school lunch). You keep your head down and do your best at what you can - the schoolwork you get.

Since this is still up, and I have relatives that were literally (not metaphorically) shot against the wall by communists, here are some thoughts 1/
2/ communism is dangerous because it gives the state a monopoly over everything. Those CEOs and monopolists you hate under capitalism? Make them legislator, judge, jury, and executioner as well. That’s communism
3/ capitalism is not statecraft, nor is it a perfect solution to unbound problems. It’s very good at rapidly finding optimal solutions to parameterized systems. The state exists to set proper parameters based on its societal values, which are worth debating

When @DeanPreston says “tax the rich” he really means “tax young workers but not my landlord friends w tax free capital gains!” - not quite as pithy 🤪
For reference, SF’s per capita budget is significantly higher than NYC’s but SF is the one with uninhabitable streets, sandbagged development, underfunded schools and transit, record setting property crimes, and Supervisors letting it all burn

Joking aside, it was very edible, the limon was a bit strange but I ran out of Cheetos Puffs which was my first choice. The leftover milk is not as weird as I thought it’d be. Honestly think savory cereal should be a thing. Image

I’m seeing articles on how camera white balance and #nofilter are surprisingly hard concepts. A thread:

theatlantic.com/technology/arc…
1/ the human brain is really good at “normalizing” colors in a scene given context clues. ie the spectral wavelength that hits your eye may be remapped you a different color in your perception. See Adelson’s illusion: Image
2/ the challenge is that photos remove viewers from spatial and illumination context. You ever look at an unflattering picture and think “why am I so blue/yellow/red/etc?” Lights IRL are tinted, and your brain normalizes it for you. The camera records the actual tint though. ImageImage
