    It only looks sloppy because there’s no method to the madness. You just need some lacing bars and it’ll look AWESOME! I used to build racks for work and cleanliness was my thing. Here’s how to properly use lacing bars:

    1. Put a lacing bar behind every piece of equipment. Wires should run straight back to it then run left or right, Velcro to the vertical bars, and onto the next lacing bar. The only “floating” wires should be from device to lacing bar, everything else is attached to something

    2. Pick which side is for power. Power wires are run on that side, everything else goes on the other

    3. VELCRO STRAPS instead of zip ties. The only acceptable place for zip ties is DC power cords…but do it right by the brick or device, never the middle

    4. With premade cables, slack can be hidden on the vertical rails. Never the lacing bar or in the air!

    5. Labels are really nice if you can swing it. I quit that job so I don’t have a label maker anymore





  • The article is paywalled but the gist is in the tagline: people kept peanuts but babies for fear of allergies but lack of exposure leads to allergies.

    I’ve been casually following this for awhile so here’s some further insight: peanut allergies were on the rise worldwide except in one place…Israel.

    Have you ever seen those “puffs” baby snacks? They’re like Cheeto Puffs but made for babies. Easier to eat with a weaker flavor. They’re popular across the world but there’s a brand with a peanut variety that sells particularly well in Israeli.

    After realizing the connection, they started studying it. I am assuming this article is the conclusion of that study.



  • Personally I liked how vague it all was. I love when movies leave stuff unexplained for the viewers to figure out or interpret instead of having unrealistic exposition. The characters live in that world, they don’t need to talk about how things are. The only real exposition is the news report in the beginning

    Unlike most movies, I felt like I was IN the world. This was helped by the cinematography. I haven’t watched it in a long time but I remember the first time I saw the last (?) gun fight scene. Asking myself “Did [character] just die??” as the camera keeps moving. Yes, they did, but there’s no time to even let the camera hang.

    Not the best story, not the best characters, but I still loved it.
