Salamander?

If the numbers were a date, the sign is wrong.

I think they have one(s) for a lightweight/portable setup that was based on an aircraft engine. But the serious power generation gas turbines are designed for that purpose from the get go. Optimized for shaft output at low elevations. They much heavier/bulkier.

Probably peaks with demand as water use also peaks during the day. Assuming they are in pipes that see flows follow demand. At 42 inches, that's bigger than what's in most neighborhoods, but probably smaller than what's coming down from Bull Run, I would guess.

I wonder where they are?

I wouldn't tell him that second part unless you want him to look into using them again.

I think it's been pretty disconnected from company fundamentals since high speed trading became common.

The current state of the world is just making it more obvious.

Ok. I know this is not the part you are talking about, but now I need to know if he has had that Hotmail address for 25 years or 25 weeks.

After getting hooked on outsourcing by introductory pricing, companies now pay more for each worker because each worker now needs to contribute to the costs of executives at two companies.

My horrible opinion is no bags with wheels inside security.

The thing about Burlington is, a few decades back Bernie Sanders was mayor. So how could it not be the scariest and/or worse city in America.

This is a real thing that people believe.

And say versions of out loud.

In public.

Do you know how big the gap between lenses is? Could you drill the bezel at points across from each other and blow it out? Or get a cleaner of some sort in there?

I guess finding a good lens in a broken camera may be possible? Then you could try a risky repair on this one as a spare...

Was the bakery open?

This one is a pretty much a fixture on this corner.

A leader from the glory days won't get you back to the glory days by acting like they are now.

But, that's totally an ad from the glory days. Always had things targeted to the hardcore of each sport minimizing other sports.

But it was in targeted advertising and at events. Not the general message.

And they had enough goodwill that it landed differently.

Also, in Seattle winter clothes are summer evening clothes. I haven't had to do this since I've lived here.

But when I lived with more divergent seasons the closet would get reshuffled seasonally. Never had to deal with storage, though.

Their mascot is excellent.

Porter's.

I don't know if Embraer has a mascot.

But, if you really want one photo to be seen, it needs to go out into the world on its own.

No but you can still see it bigger. And zoom in on stuff.

That doesn't bother me as much. Even singles need to be clicked and opened. If the photos don't slow my scroll, I'll see too much news too fast.

Long term, any task that needs doing all the time is better off in house or eventually you don't even know if the contractors are doing a good job.

That will save money in the short term as introductory pricing gets companies hooked. But eventually there's gonna be a whole second company's worth of upper management that needs a cut.

Oh yeah. I think that's often right. But I know I'll get lazy and just post too many at some point.

More is not better here.

Spoken as someone with a tendency to fill the space available rather than make decisions about what to cut.

Well, yes. I really like the image you made and that's why I said something. But my issue is more with how most people take pictures in museums than with what they take.

Many are very oblivious to those around them. But you don't get this shot without being aware of the whole scene.

These photos are a palpable vibe.

That's the one!

Before scrolling to this, if you had asked me my position on photography in art museums, I would have said, "Against."

But Peter had caused me to rethink that.
