Robobluey

Getting this light to flash has probably taken years off my life. It’s my first completely custom microcontroller board and while I have stuff to finish with this project still I think it can wait a bit

BREAKING: A robot developed by Caltech and funded by DARPA has successfully built part of a structure in orbit without astronauts, marking what researchers describe as the first autonomous construction of a structure in space. The experiment, called ASTRA, uses a robotic arm to retrieve individual structural tubes and connecting joints, then assemble them into sections of a larger framework directly in orbit. Launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 in March, the system has spent approximately six months in space testing the technology. The robot successfully constructed a new section of a truss structure, demonstrating that spacecraft could eventually assemble large structures from smaller components rather than launching them fully assembled. The experiment is part of DARPA's NOM4D program, which aims to enable construction of enormous structures in orbit, potentially hundreds of meters or even kilometers across. Potential applications include: > Giant space telescopes > Large satellite communications antennas > Orbital solar power stations >Future space infrastructure too large to fit inside conventional rockets The demonstration did not complete the full planned antenna, but establishes an important proof of concept for autonomous orbital construction. The technology could eventually allow the size of structures built in space to exceed the physical limits of the rockets used to launch their components.

the ebeneezer trailer is really funny. “you think you know his story… you don’t.” yes i do. it was in the book

I think being at a theme park right now would fix me

R8-26, from Star Wars: Tales of the Empire, is the latest Build-A-Droid release with one more to go to finish the RX droid! #StarWars #DisneyParks

IT'S MOTHER FREAKIN' TIFFY TIME! 👏⏰ @tiffstrattonwwe

🚨 NEW: The Government's "Black Sky" contingency plans for a national water or power blackout - Around 100 BBC staff would be deployed to run an emergency RM radio studio stocked with enough food, water and fuel to keep it running for 3 days - The BBC would broadcast pre-written Government scripts through the studio, including how to ration water, what to do if toilets stop working and which food to eat first (see scripts below) - Radio masts would switch to diesel generators to keep broadcasts going for up to 72 hours without electricity - BBC teams would use satellite phones to stay in contact, with agreed meeting points and backup arrangements if those phones stop working - They would also report from emergency centres across the UK using satellite-equipped BBC vehicles to help keep information flowing to the public - Emergency services would have alternative ways to communicate if mobile phone networks stopped working - The Government is putting £70m towards aircraft that could restore mobile phone and internet coverage across the UK for over a week

A future prediction of mine is that if Puerto Rico (or DC) becomes a state the 50 star flag will become a *huge* culture war issue. Like cons will refuse to update the flag in protest

I've been looking through my old projects to put on my portfolio recently and was reminded of this. I'd really like to make and sell more things but, despite my stuff being objectively better now, I've kinda just lost all confidence in my work which is annoying

I went out to watch fireworks tonight, we got bored and decided to go out drinking and now I’ve drank the most I have this academic year
