I keep looking for good deals on a R1T, CT, or Lightning in the used market. To be fair they’ve dipped but not enough to make an amazing deal.

On my iPhone I end up using a screenshot to select text via OCR and copy it from there. It’s frustrating when apps like Facebook won’t let you copy and paste stuff into Google Maps…

Are there any labs in the US that a regular joe could use to get their water tested? I’ve got quite a few properties with natural springs and I can send the water to get tested for…

Solar energy has become a significant topic in my rural Virginia county, where I serve on the Board of Supervisors. During our discussions, the issue of food production has come up…

I noticed something similar with images as inputs to Claude, you can scale down the images and still get good outputs. There is an accuracy drop off at a certain point but the toke…

I’m so glad to see this game getting some love. It’s been a constant for me ever since I found it at Dollar General when I was a kid.

Very exited for this, hopefully it works well.

If anyone from Starlink or SpaceX is reading these comments here’s what you want to do: Sell your own branded trail cam with solar charging and LTE from orbit. You can charge $25-$…

How does one get started with robotics? What's a good onboarding project?

Are there any good blogs, communities, or Discords to get more into robotics? Specifically outdoor applications?

Love this! I'd love to take the underlying data combine it with data like average income for a county and see which counties had the most affordable Taco Bell.

The roughest thing that Ballad has done is take the brand new NICU from Holston Valley in Kingsport that was opened in 2016 [1], shut it down and move it 30-45 minutes further away…

It hit this area hard. I’m from neighboring Scott County and I left in 2015 to pursue a job in a larger market. When I brought my family back in 2021 we shocked to see just how muc…

You'd be surprised! I'm a politician in a rural county in the USA and Cell Phone coverage is one thing that people complain about the most. Probably only 30-40% of the county has g…

I think an equally interesting point might be why Daffodils tend to outline the foundation of where a house used to be. Yes of course because people planted them there but then you…

Probably not very many. Fun anecdote: When the Google Glass first came out I wanted to use it to record procedures so that we could create an annotated video dataset of medical pro…

Either you become their inspiring leader with your zeal to push your self or you become like them. There is no middle ground. So think about what you want and act accordingly. Btw …

No one ever seems to talk about the fact that RSUs should be treated as bonuses not as real income. It’s nice if they work out but you should never rely on them being worth anythin…

Adding to this if voice recognition is just the first part of a process can you eliminate it? Can you show them an example of how to use it based on text? For example “type your co…

Here in Southwestern VA I’ve seen an interesting trend: people are buying yard barns. Sometimes very large yard barns and are converting them into living quarters. These are folks …

Hey we should talk! The county I live in has pretty good fiber with a population under 20k. I’ve been tossing around the idea of creating a curated list of properties for sale here…

I'm from a rural area in the mountains of Appalachia, grew up on a farm, and I just recently moved back with a remote job. I have seen at least 4 families move in from places like …

I'd say gearing in the transmission is the biggest factor. Newer cars have more gears, more gears and better shifting mean that your engine gets to work at max efficiency more of t…

Happy New Year! Hope you have a great 2022! My themes for 2022 are as follows: I want to spend more time with family. We recently moved back to the area where my wife and I grew up…
