I am owned by several dogs and cats. I have been playing non-computer roleplaying games for almost five decades. I am interested in all kinds of gadgets, particularly multitools, knives, flashlights, and pens.
It isn’t glamorous and it doesn’t grab headlines, but that is how these problems get fixed.
Making to tomorrow is sometimes not a small undertaking.
Not to far. Thanks for letting me know about it.
I certainly won’t disagree with that.
I do understand. I am constantly fighting that myself. For me it’s an aspirational statement, not necessarily one I always manage to live.
A Tilley LTM8 to keep the sun off my head without holding in heat. They aren’t exactly stylish, but they work well and seem to be nearly indestructible.
There is some evidence to suggest that the Saudis were involved in setting it up. Beyond that, there were endless conspiracy theories, none of which were widely believed. I’ve talked about it with a lot of people over the years and have yet to meet a single conspiracy theorist. The vast majority have never believed in a 9/11 conspiracy.
If you strip the DRM and keep a local copy of your digital content, you are no longer at the mercy of whatever services the provide it. Then you can keep a backup in case something happens to your primary copies.
GalaxyQuest included an alleged commentary track that was all in Thermian. No one should ever listen to it, but my hat is off to whoever put it together.
The right wing has been actively working to undermine our educational system since the early 80’s. A poorly educated populace, particularly one without critical thinking skills, is much easier to manipulate. After four decades of underfunding, restrictive policies, and anti-intellectual propaganda, those efforts are really paying off.
Newt Gingrich and his co-conspirators have been waging war against the people of this country since Reagan was elected. And they are now dangerously close to winning that war.
I would be happy to see it replaced by something better, but I don’t want it to disappear. Having any kind of reference for source reliability, even just as a reminder to think about it, helps provide perspective on political posts.
We live in an era where it has become normal to dump masses of bullshit online in the hope that sheer volume will convince people it’s true. Pointing out the credibility gap between NPR and Fox News is important.
Getting a university degree is essential for a lot of professions, but it should not be your only purpose in attending. It’s an opportunity expand yourself as a person while training for a job. Take some classes in non-technical areas that you know very little about. A few of them may lead to lifelong interests. Even if they don’t, they will give you a broader view of the world and the people in it.
Even if you end up loving your job, there is more to life than work.
I have a computer science degree and work as a developer and consultant. The most important things I learned in college were from some anthropology classes I took out of curiosity. Technical knowledge is not that hard to acquire. Gaining new perspectives on the world is a lot harder to come by. Take advantage of the opportunities.
Dell did some non-standard trickery to allow more than 100W charging through a USB C connector. If it’s one of those laptops it will only charge over 100W with a Dell USB charger.
My thought was than an inset, taken as a whole circle, could be referred to as a cylinder. Like you, I couldn’t really make sense of the description and was trying to interpret it. Based on the response above I was way off.
I think I understand now, but I’ve never seen a ring like that.
This comment and response elevated this discussion. I’m still laughing.
I think I understand. When you talk about cylinders on top of the ring you’re referring to what are basically stripes inset into the surface of the ring. Do I have that right?
It sounds like you’re looking for something similar to this, with more rounded edges: https://i.etsystatic.com/icm/a6e7f9/662727769/icm_fullxfull.662727769_1ui1u9fyb0hwgk0ogkws.jpg?version=0
I had that one custom made for me by a maker on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/titaniumknights?ref=profile_header
I don’t know whether they could make what you need, but it is a place to start.
Best of luck!
NWS is a great resource, but there are a startling number of other organizations that collect weather data.
I appreciate that. :-D
Depending on the source, Wall Street is somewhere between 3 and 25 feet above sea level. It wouldn’t take much to dampen the market’s spirit. :-)
