It's pretty appropriate that frogs are becoming the #antifa mascot when you consider that the main force against the secretly evil King Andreas (a newt) in Amphibia was frogs. :3

From here:

Sprig and the Plantars gradually start adapting to Amphibia’s new reality once they start training under Sasha and taking missions seriously, but after a while, it becomes clear that the frogs alone won’t be enough to take down king Andrias. Knowing they need reinforcements, Sasha plans to have the toads join them, starting with Grime’s sister and her army. But her rivalry with Grimes and her unwillingness to join forces with frogs makes the arrangement problematic, and things go dire when she chooses Sprig as the one to fight her when Grimes challenges her, forcing the young frog to train under his former enemy in order to have a chance against her. While training under Grimes, Sprig openly voices his disdain for him for threatening Hop Pop back in Toad Tower while Grimes likewise hates him for defeating him in Newtopia, The two are unable to get along until a close encounter with some Hybeenas forces them to work together and come to an understanding. Grimes starts training Sprig, taking advantage of his agile frog form while at the same time teaching him to use his rage to his favor like toads do. Despite almost losing, Sprig manages to beat Grime’s sister using a combination of both frog and toad skills, gaining the toad army’s loyalty in return.


The army continues to grow when Sprig and the others find former enemies like Tritonio Espada and Apothecary Gary, convincing them to join forces to take down the common enemy that is King Andrias and making the Resistance grow each time. When needing to decipher the olm’s prophecy, Sprig and Polly volunteer to lead Sasha and Anne to the olm siblings they encountered at one point, arriving to the city of Proteus to meet Mother Olm, the oldest and wisest of them to learn more about how to stop king Andrias for good. After venturing inside the giant olm’s brain in order to trigger her memory, the old olm tells them about the prophecy and the existence of the Core, and how they need the Calamity Box’s powers in order for king Andrias to be defeated for good. Frog, toads and news continue training in order to be ready to face the king in his castle to claim the box and rescue Marcy, but they need to act fast since king Andrias plans to invade Earth.

"Abandoned Industry"


For the longest time, this was some sort of abandoned industrial complex. The buildings have since been torn down to make room for a new business park going up soon.

Oh wait, I found how to fix it:

  • When in a save, you can bump the maximum vehicles per company under the Limitations section in the settings dialog.
  • For later games, you can change the limit settings under [vehicle] in openttd.cfg.

Soldering this aluminum pipe isn't working (it won't stick before the solder just flows out onto the floor), so I guess I'm learning how to braze with my butane torch tomorrow. :P
in reply to Neil E. Hodges

Going to have to order online. None of the welding shops or hardware stores around me carry flux for aluminum. :(

I should be able to get by with soldering alone for this project, though. :)

in reply to Neil E. Hodges

Ended up going with Sn95Cu4.8Ag0.2 solder. Wish me luck. :P

(I also added some brass and some aluminum coupling nuts in case the steel ones refuse to be wet by the solder.)

in reply to Neil E. Hodges

I was going to say, standard lead/tin isn't a great choice, high zinc is definitely better. There are tin/lead based solders that stick to aluminum but they aren't in the 50/50 range, and the best solders have some more exotic stuff in them.

Found something interesting out the hard way. #Python
from string import Formatter

a = 0
b = 1

print(f"{a or b}")  # Works
print("{a or b}".format(a=0, b=1))  # Does not work
print(Formatter().format("{a or b}", a=0, b=1))  # Does not work
in reply to Neil E. Hodges

Makes sense, but I definitely see the potential for confusion there!

Why Are So Many Pedestrians Killed by Cars in the US?

https://www.construction-physics.com/p/why-are-so-many-pedestrians-killed

Pedestrian accidents getting more deadly seems like fairly strong evidence for the theory that the rise in large SUVs is behind the uptick in pedestrian deaths: it’s not that more pedestrians are getting hit by vehicles, it’s that the ones that are getting hit are more likely to die.

Still really enjoying having my own image board and wiki on our intranet and not accessible from the public Internet. :3





Instead of "demanding" Microsoft continue to update software for old machines, how about we encourage 1 billion Windows 10 users who can't upgrade to Windows 11, to upgrade to GNU/LInux instead?
