The creator of this is a friend of mine and just gonna chime in that he’s a fantastic and talented dude. Nice surprise to see his project listed here! I think he’s working on something new called Liftkit Studio too I’m looking forward to.

He has a cool YouTube channel too. Check out “The Secret Science of Perfect Spacing”

What about all the nuclear powered submarines and carriers? Don’t count?

lmao I will continue to share anything I can build a meat mountain with! Analytics for my site on 5FEB showed 200 people visited my Disqus post and then 50 people clicked on the "Food" tag. Apparently people who consume tech news also like food a lot. Thanks HN.

Disqus was the default commenting system for a Ghost blog theme I purchased for my humble website. It actually broke my site's functionality by directing users who had made comments to really shady advertisements. You can see a screen recording of the behavior here: https://keeganleary.com/disqus-is-evil-trash/

I switched out for ComentBox and let the theme designer know about the issue. I will also forward him this article and have a look at some of the other comment systems provided! Thanks!

Spent 3 years on a fast attack sub and can attest that though difficult and frustrating at times, life on a sub is indeed interesting.

One of my favorite tools onboard was our sound speed profiling software. While it was often wildly inaccurate compared to what we were "seeing" in sonar in real-time, it was fascinating trying to predict what we would and would not hear.

We definitely picked up MODUs (Mobile Offshore Drilling Units) form thousands of km away.

Also, there are many older submarines still out at sea, and many of them don't use sound dampening tech (i.e. rubber grommets) on their noisy gear (pumps). Pretty loud too.
