This sign is still available per the 11th edition of the MUTCD but under a different designation, EM2-3. Section 2N.06

Easy, it'll just grade everything 5.9+!

Could this be used to grade routes? It would be cool if a photo or short video of a route could be used to better assist in grading climbing routes. Grading is a massively subjecti…

I decided to use FreetaxUSA on the advice of another HN thread and I was very happy with the results. I had used TurboTax for the last 8 years and can say that FreetaxUSA was much …

I am kinda excited to integrate some of these sets into a real location map built in ArcGIS! It may not result in a spatially perfect map, but it will be way more fun to build and …

IBM also manufactured guns for the Allies, so take that as you will. Having their businesses on both sides of the war co-opted by the various governments is a tough position for an…

Would this mean that an emergency call would be available anywhere without a service contract, at least in the US? As it is now, if I were to dial 911, any tower that can connect m…

I highly recommend Continental Gatorskins. I have ridden about 2,000 miles on my current set with no punctures. https://www.continental-tires.com/products/b2c/bicycle/tires...

Ryan Zinke, one of Montana's congressman, has been critical of the permit system lately. This article https://montanafreepress.org/2023/04/11/zinke-calls-for-chan...

I choose to do it solo, for the most part. I enjoy the solitude. I have been mountain biking more and that has been more group rides.

I can't agree more on the shared adversity. My three main hobbies are rock climbing, hockey, and cycling. With climbing you have to battle against yourself and your limits. Good pa…

The nomenclature of 1 in x years is based on statistics and equates to the chance, 1/x, that in a given year this event will happen. You don't need 1300 years of data to say this w…

I watched a good video on the subject of adaptive clearing taking too long to calculate and it helped me to improve the processing and machining time of complex geometry. https://y…

Cool guide to get started with! I gave it a quick glance and noticed two things I struggled with when I started with CNC work, work holding and feed/speed calculations. Both of the…

Safeway is under the Albertsons umbrella already. https://www.safeway.com/about-us.html

I was going to say the same thing. Seems like a lot of art focused vector programs aren't as rigorous with their polygons as a CAD program. But, I suppose it is just a matter of th…

Yeah, for sure. I would imagine for those that have learned to live with it, the side effects won't be worth the benefits.

It will be interesting to hear how this drug impacts those with alopecia universalis, a sub type of alopecia areata. My sister has universalis from birth. I doubt she would want to…

I spent a stupid amount of time figuring out how to make a custom splash screen for Windows XP. And then a service pack reverted all my efforts. Good times.

Tools for sure, power and hand. Aside from a voltage regulating circuit most power tools are super simple, make a thing spin to cut other things. I also love using proper hand tool…

Older clothes washing machines, maybe? Though, they are getting replaced by machines with ic type controllers too.

If SpaceX were to deny OneWeb the launch space, or charge an excessive fee as compared to other commercial launches, would that have run afoul of anti-trust laws? Seems to me that …

For me, 5.13 is my life goal with climbing. I tend to agree that nutrition is a huge component. When I am more focused on training, not just climbing for fun, and eat right I make …

I agree with you for sure. I don't think 12d is unattainable to a typical fit person, it just takes a lot of training and focused desire to get to that point. It isn't a grade you …

Can't the reverse be argued? Why should they pay you more than the value of your work just because you live somewhere expensive?
