When ads give you lemons, you send those lemons back. Say, “I don’t want any of your damn lemons!”
Now do the version of this comic that calls out all the women that voted to take that choice away from themselves and others.
Take up paragliding. Highly recommend (unless you have an addictive personality, social commitments, other hobbies, etc).
The real villain in the story is Charlie's family.
EDIT: except for his mom.
Gotta post the OG if you’re gonna say it:
Well I think the oval office would be much more well suited to a 100% carbon-based humanoid like Ted Cruz:
You might have heard the news about the recent development of paragliding race harness protectors.
Good write up on the ongoing debate over harness protectors (especially about the effectiveness of newer materials like koroyd).
Same. Ridiculous design decision and I would either leave it on its side or upside down.
Educational and wonderful!
Keep em coming.
Soooooooooo……. More ads and bullshit then? I regret not the 5 or so clicks it took to delete my account.
Yeah - totally fair response and I agree.
Interested in sharing the database? If I get bored, I’d consider rebuilding this.
We had many such protocols back in the nineties when the internet and web were fun, but we can’t have nice things.
Yes, this was a jaded-gen-xer-get-off-my-lawn moment.
These have 500 mile range - baffles me that none of the EVs being made by the west can provide better range than they are now. Seems like 250 is the standard cap for “normal” models. Some way less and some slightly more.
Will our new robot overlord still allow us to hate on Elon?
The proof that he uses Arch is that he told you about it. Arch user confirmed.
Been enjoying these hike and fly videos in the UK by one of the FlyBubble gang. He’s done Scottish highlands and North Wales - very chill and well produced and good mix of hiking, nature, light alpinism, and PG with light gear.
Is “maintaining the integrity of the presidential election” even fall under the responsibilities of POTUS? Wouldn’t that be more of the judicial’s or legislative’s wheelhouse? If it’s not, doesn’t that completely invalidate Trump’s argument that he was acting under his presidential duties?
Great video on how to fix a bunch of zipper issues. Handy to have on hand for harness, rucksack, and concertina bag zipper problems. Implemented one of the fixes in the video (took less than a minute) and that fix is still going strong after a year.
For personal projects, I've favored gandi.net for many years, but I'm trying to get a few candidates together for the organization I work for. Not a fan of GoDaddy, NetworkSolutions, or many of the all-in-one web host / registrar / app hosting / whateverelse sites.
Hoping there are a few modern alternatives out there that I haven't seen yet. We had all of our domains on Google Domains, but since they got bought by Squarespace, I'm surveying our options.
Looks like super lightweight, loads of pockets, and 70L total storage volume. Might be a good rival to the BV1.
Not a sailplane pilot, but thought this was pretty neat. Uses the airflow to push the wiper out to the end of the wing and then either a simple electric motor or a hand crank to bring it back towards the fuselage.
Have been fiddling with removing the brummels from my speed system and wanted a nice stopper knot for the larkshead to grab onto. Hope this benefits someone else.
Looks like none of the consumer-grade security cameras (Nest, Arvo, Ring, etc) support being able to embed the feed on a web page anymore. I think many of them never supported it, but looks like since Google bought Nest, they are slowly stripping features out of that one.
I'm looking to set up a security camera or two in a park-like area (it's a parking lot and landing area for a freeflight club), and am looking for something that checks the following boxes:
- Ideally, a solution that doesn't need an external computer (a full blown machine that's running software that might have to be restarted by a human on-site; a self-contained hardware device or rack mounted solution that would start all necessary services up after a power outage or other failure would be fine).
- Video would be ideal, but if there's something that would take snapshots every few seconds, that's acceptable.
- Stream (or photos) would need to be publicly-accessible. A webpage embed would be ideal, but not something where a whole bunch of people have to use a dedicated mobile app to access it.
I looked at some of Unifi's product offerings, but hard to tell if some combination of their cameras and routers would accomplish that. Anyone put something like this together recently and can recommend anything?
Product page is up for the new Scala 2 (looks like a high-C wing).
