cloth hockey tape, great for adding soft grip to tools


zooming with mousewheel is a bit slow, takes ~10 scrolls to get to ~2x zoom (max)



I believe that may be the spectral test https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_test which I mentioned in the explanation when showing the lattices visually


where's the chimney?


Most likely it's somewhere in the cargo area, connected via wifi or bluetooth.


No, it was routed directly to the jet engine's bleed-air system. Interestingly, jet engine was said to be a tad bit more efficient because of it.


Someone else said the fireplace was electric. But had it been wood and routed into the engine intake it could in fact have added efficiency… feel free to fall down the wood gas rabbit hole https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_gas


This page does say that "coke" is preferred to wood gas for propulsion, which brings us back full circle to Led Zeppelin


Wood gasification jet engine!



Well, `binwalk` is no dice on either of those EXEs, so that's already a bit tougher...

http push, baby!

alternatively, trust the client timer, ship a full 86400 frame gif, and figure out a start-frame hack.


Or just generate 86400 gifs, each 86400 frames long, and have the server deliver the correct one depending on the current time. But that wouldn't be nearly as cool as generating and delivering the gif in real time.


This is kind of what I was expecting. I tried saving the gif to see what happened, and it's empty! It's a pretty neat trick!


or just use javascript Date() object, and display it as text
