hey is the statute of limitations up on the whole JFK thing? i have one hell of a story i've been sitting on

anyone want a challenge? I am trying to identify an obscure RF connector and having no luck; it's on an "AirPort Extreme" wifi card inside an iBook G4, it doesn't look like one of those normal tiny SMT connectors like u.fl, it's still tiny, but beefy, this right angle barrel, multiple millimeters deep.

If anyone's interested i can post pics and some measurements tomorrow, i've spent quite a bit of time online searching so i think it needs Someone Who Knows RF Connectors to crack it

note: rules lawyering about what exactly counts as a "piston engine" is allowed and encouraged. however, the more it resembles a normal car engine the more bonus points you get.

There's a lot of bonus points; you can actually lose the race and still win if your fuel is cursed enough or your engine seems impossible enough. conversely, you can just barely squeak past the Problematicness Requirements with your Crude Oil car, win the race, and still lose to the Random Fragments Of Unexploded WWII Ordnance team that barely makes it across the finish line

  • your fuel must be dangerous and impractical, as approved by a panel of judges
  • no rockets or turbines! your fuel must go into a piston engine

food, gross piss question 

imagine you have a garden. you have several lettuce plants, but there's one in particular where all the neighborhood dogs come by and piss on it. this happens at least once a day, throughout the plant's entire life from the moment it first sprouted. it's time to harvest! do you:

just put some hepa filters on the nozzle part it'll be fine. maybe a heatsink on the tube going to the turbine. what do you mean it'll blow up? obviously you have to build it pretty strong, c'mon guys i'm not the engineer here

new car idea: take a regular internal combustion engine, make it a bit stronger, and just do Project Orion inside the cylinders

i wonder if there are any organic human languages out there with strict quoting and escaping rules. there should be

hey remember when 99.9 BOB FM's slogan was "the 80s, the 90s, what ever"? well I'll bet by now it's like, "the 80s, the 90s, the 2 thousands, the 2010s, the whatever!"
