    I miss all the old forums that have died out. Still some gems out there, but not nearly as active anymore as far as my hobbies and interest go.

    Pretty interesting. I recently got some cheap Meshtastic devices just to play around with and it looks like the longest line of sight from my house is about 20 miles. Might have to…

    Ugh, maybe I need to see it inside an actual car but overall looks like it could belong inside a small truck/SUV if you took away the Ferrari logos. I like the physical controls. I…

    I'd imagine scratchers would be almost impossible unless you could somehow get all the tickets from every place they are sold. I'm not into gambling, but I guess it might work if t…

    Who is really heating teflon pans to 850 F on the stovetop?

    As someone who started going to school for Mechanical Engineering and ended up in Comp Sci, I think your last paragraph is what drew me in. So many different ways to solve the prob…

    This is the one that I remember having in elementary school. Such a funky shape, always thought the top looked cool.

    I've also got a Flexispot (from Amazon, assuming its the same brand) and its been good for a little over a year now. Seems well built and sturdy at any height. I don't stand a lot,…

    Yeah, that line came off really strange to me also... being a POW doesn't sound so dreamy to me.

    Same. Got a laptop and Blackberry at my first job out of college. Didn't take too long for me to realize that it actually sucked. Later worked as a govt contractor and could leave …

    I remember having some goofy message for my voicemail when I was in college. Some recruiter left me a voicemail scolding me for being so unprofessional... finally changed it severa…

    It's not really. Any decent bike shop has bins full of spare parts and take-offs. Then you always have eBay, Marketplace, etc. to find something strange.

    Same thing here. I dumped Alexa stuff 4ish years ago for Google Home devices and its become somewhat of a let down. They really don't seem to have anything new while Amazon keeps r…

    Worked for a govt contractor years ago and I would imagine the payout from the govt contract was at least 2-3x. There were usually 2-3 layers of people getting paid and I don't thi…

    I've wrote a few, more like scripts to do something repetitive. Wrote a script to scrape pictures off an old website from the Wayback Machine. Wrote another program that scraped so…

    Same. I pulled down my dad's old camera from the closet a few years ago and it probably hadn't been used since the 90s so the batteries were dead. Threw in some new Duracell batter…

    They already do on some. I bought a pack of 2032s (Duracell maybe?) a few weeks back that had the coating.

    This is generally what I notice also. Seems to be less about riding the actual bike and more about telling people you have a Peleton.

    Yeah, or any McDonalds in the Midwest around that time. I always feel out of place if I happen to stop at one during that time on vacation.

    This seems like a very difficult way to do things unless you really needed to mess with items in the background. I would think there is still plenty of room to crop a single image …

    Yeah, I don't think there are any issues with people moving to cities if they want to live there. Just because there are protests, etc. going on doesn't mean the entire city is on …

    This also seems off to me... Sounds like some well paid grocery store workers.

    Yeah, had a college professor that hunt & pecked on the keyboard. He was smart and good at teaching, just terrible at typing.

    Steve Rinella also talks to him in an episode of his MeatEater podcast. Its a good listen if you have some time to kill. Episode #179 if anyone is interested.

    I think you may need to separate religion from churches/pastors/missionaries/etc here.
