Oop! not quite, the SR-71 did beat it by about 10k feet. Nothing else does though.

(the table I was consulting was not in order!)

Huh. TIL the highest crewed flight in an aircraft without rockets the aircraft had no power at all. It was a glider!

Turns out playing with mountain winds and the jet stream can push you higher than an air breathing engine can go.

@Phorm Thank you for subscribing to ServoFacts! The most common name for Servos is Eustace. This is the name by which they call themselves. The other races on Kaladesh do not typically acknowledge this nomenclature. ERROR! NON-CONSULATE APPROVED ENTRY!

Thank you for subscribing to GrubHub Facts! Did you know GrubHub refuses to use Servos are delivery bots, because they come with a free subscription to ServoFacts?

(OK I'm done now)

@Phorm Servos are not edible, which makes them a great low-calorie delivery option!

@Phorm
Did you know, that when a creature with fabricate enters the battlefield, you can create a servo, which is a 1/1 Artifact creature?

@catgoat What species? Many boa are CITES restricted, which means they are going to be very difficult to move internationally. fws.gov/international/pdf/fact

you'll need proof of legal acquisition, approval from FWS via an export permit, and go through an airport with a FWS office. Import into the EU probably also requires an import permit.

Actual shipping is will be pricey and a little risky. Airlines do handle live animals but they kill them a small but still distressing amount of the time.

Hah, that's...something. Modding factorio, it uses Entities to define the objects placed on the map, with lua.

You can edit one entity from inside another. o.O Took me a while to figure out why one thing was randomly not what I set it to, turned out the second thing had one line not renamed properly

@anthracite this one is especially o.O as the only river in Europe that comes close is the Volga and that's half the size *and* barely even in Europe!

vr, exercise, pointy medical stuff 

@kistaro One blade mode?

@Snapai you need to keep them from burning as well, and account for displaced biomass from other plants. A lot of the time invasive plants grow like crazy, overdo it, then go poof in a forest fire..

@JulieSqveakaroo It is amusing, though best in small doses for me :)

Seattle folks: recommend me a primary care doc who's not an idiot about LGBT issues? After the saga of my last few posts, it turns out the new doctor the practice transferred me to is apparently only working two days a week. And both times I've checked the nearest appointment is three weeks + out. Not ideal.

ph, +? 

@kistaro having an air purifier running sounds like a good plan for just on general tbh. glad you found the source of the problem.

I'd suggest a n95 or better for further cleaning, you might have thought of that already? best not go inhale any more nasty dust than you have to

Medical rant, long 

Update: said doctor has now decided to retire. now I really feel like an asshole

@anthracite the fact that modern software is never Done and they can ruin it forever with a patch you can't say no to is one of my biggest annoyances with how we do things
