VMI has a number of cannonballs embedded in the turrets on the backside of Old Barracks as well. They're more placeholders now than anything, but were left in situ after General Hu…

Just a head's up, I'm getting a 404 on the link to the relay docs ( https://www.iroh.computer/docs/layers/connections ) when attempting to click through.

Very cool. I was surprised to see the 40W-60W equivalent value; that's much better than I would have guessed, but makes sense based on the Philippine's equatorial location. Kind of…

Not OP, but I use solar and H8-size AGM batteries as primary with a backup diesel generator that I've converted to run on wood gas (and occasionally coal gas). Added a triple stage…

Completely rational. It makes sense that an area with a highest concentration of defense/government contractors would see a ton of ads geared towards the procurement folks. I grew …

Extremely accurate. L3Harris pumped so much ad money into the walkways at Dulles I'm surprised they don't have naming rights to a terminal. There was a time not too long ago where …

I grew up in northern Virginia and very fondly remember going to Dulles with my dad as a kid to watch the Concorde take off for the last time. That this is the engine off the same …

I install replacements for friends and their referrals who've had them stolen; it's a serious and unfortunately common problem in LA. Roughly 80% are off of Priuses (Prii?) and mos…

I'm not sure what aspect of this conversation is "low intelligence", but automotive technician salary data doesn't often match reality where techs can (and often do) make close to …

I hope their Trust & Security team has a roadmap that prioritizes topic and thread-jacking. The advent of GPT and their recent changes to creator compensation has created a massive…

This guy was undoubtedly the kid who reminded the teacher to assign homework.

New cylinders can get a little pricey but used bottles can be found dime-a-dozen on Craigslist/FB Marketplace/etc. Just need to know how to properly inspect a tank. Gas supply stor…

Having to handle lead for a practically unretrievable amount of gold would (I hope) be enough of a deterrent for the vast majority of "citizen scrappers". Worst case, I think a Pb/…

I used Grav for my CS capstone back in 2016. One of the requirements was to create and host a web page with project details, abstract, etc. I completely forgot about that portion u…

Not OP but I rent and have to use my deck for solar. I only have 2 x 100W panels that sit on the ground, and that feeds a 135Ah AGM battery in a box. The box has a 500W inverter on…

The orange creek bed stands out vividly against the background and reflects light extremely well compared to the shale. It doesn't glow per se, but it gives that impression. I uplo…

Centralia has long been a bit of personal obsession of mine, so I had to double take seeing it on HN. I travel between northern Virginia and the Poconos fairly often and always hop…

This. Better to pull the parachute than wait for the federal retrorockets.

Weird indeed. Blank buttons in base model vehicles are at least user-accessible as opposed to a camera module behind glass. Any time I add an accessory, the button fascia gets popp…

Absolutely this. I stood up a negative test suite for continuous DB queries late in 2020 and it's caught many potential show stopper integration issues since; about 45% more YoY th…

The new Defenders are awesome. I got to borrow one for the day from a buddy in Colorado and it was the ideal vehicle for the terrain. My only qualm was that the turbo lag felt pret…

I'm working through similar gamification of map update questions right now, specifically with aerial imaging. We're trying to crowdsource aerial imagery using (for now) passengers …
