@dch That is going to cause some issues.
Scientists make major discovery while working with scrap EV batteries: 'The need for developing sustainable recycling methods is pressing'

@scattapilla@jorts.horse Oh my God people just have no idea. You end up broken, or running the country.
@yngmar I can still feel my back tightening when I think of a bolt just losing all resistance as the thread in the block gives up.
@yngmar ha also motorbikes!
@nyquildotorg She also does that thing where she blames Trump for Obama's policies, but this is normal now.
@yngmar At least they're not so fussy with alignment like a shaft fitting.
@yngmar It is one of those things where you think "It cannot possibly need this much force".
@yngmar Shaft couplers are just endless pain.
@yngmar I remember thinking what a massive hole in the hull it was, like a toilet fitting
@yngmar I helped someone with theirs and I remember a lot of hassle getting the transmission off the engine. Yours was a lot cleaner than theirs...
@yngmar "Changing this will be easy!) 3 days later..
@yngmar you just made me think of sail drive (shudder...)
@yngmar My wife's car has a V6. The rear bank of spark plugs require removal of the intake plenum...
@yngmar If only everything was like marine diesel
@yngmar lol never change Citroen
@yngmar Head gasket problems are a giant pain in the ass. Better to walk.
It's tempting to shit all over Boeing and NASA over the #starliner debacle, but the engineering team worked very hard under intensely political conditions and it did fulfill a fully autonomous return with no real problems. It did not meet NASA's criteria for a crewed return, but all of this is fixable.
@AkaSci This is just spectacular.

While we were not watching, the Voyager 1 spacecraft underwent another surgery.
In August, V1 switched thrusters used for orientation control, because the fuel tubes in the thrusters had clogged up with residue.
To perform the switch, the thrusters had to be warmed by turning on its heaters while turning off another set for an hour.
All very tricky and risky operations, performed from 22.8 light-hours away on 1970’s era hardware.
Kudos again to the Voyager team.
