  • Looking for recurrent information to republish

    Jump

  • I can’t say that it has broad interest, but he FAA in the US publishes weather reports from many airports in the US called “METAR”. There is a publicly-accessible API you can use and the data is updated hourly or more and it contains a date-time group so you can check freshness of the data.

  • I have no idea. I used a web translator.

  • Could gunpowder be chemically addictive for humans ?

    Jump

  • The constituent parts of gunpowder are sulphur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate. None of these chemicals are psychoactive in humans.

  • The beauty of agglutination. New words can be created without new vocabulary, sometimes regardless of technological changes. In Esperanto, there is no dedicated word for “cell phone”, but a word is needed to refer to these devices, so it’s “poŝtelefono”, or “pocket phone”.

  • It's quite impressive that most English speakers across the world understand each other, despite variations in accents/dialects

    Jump

  • Well, part of that is owed to the fact they were basically using a speaking code, Cockney.

  • It comes with customizable alarm clock snooze, right? Right..?

  • The boat garage

  • That’s got to be a great photo, too!

  • The tide swings can get pretty large in any season on the bay; there’s also wind-effect tides as well. This photo could be nearly anywhere, my guess is just conjecture from seeing what looks like brackish water and a dilapidated covered dock.

  • I’m willing to bet somewhere on the Chesapeake.

  • ICE is using smartwatches to track pregnant women, even during labor: ‘She was so afraid they would take her baby

    Jump

  • The device was not an ordinary smart watch made by Apple or Samsung, but a special type that US Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) had mandated the woman wear at all times, allowing the agency to track her. The device was beeping when she entered the hospital, indicating she needed to charge it, and she worried that if the battery died, ICE agents would think she was trying to disappear, the hospital workers recalled. She told them that, just days earlier, she had been put on a deportation flight to Mexico, but the pilot refused to let her fly because she was so close to giving birth.

    This situation is still fucked up.

  • Plastic bag bans are actually working, a new study suggests

    Jump

  • Anecdotally, it has curbed my own use. At first I was a little irritated but quickly realized that the collection of bags at home was an overwhelming waste when 80% of the time I was only carrying 2-3 items, which I can easily hand carry.

  • Why don't compasses have just two Cardinal directions (North, East, -North, -East)?

  • Evil DMs keep two color-identical D4s, one with numbers up and an evil one with numbers down, and they’re the only D4s allowed on the table. When directed to roll a 1D4, it’s drawn blind and rolled. The hopeful see what they want before their faces give way to crestfall.

  • I’ll just check real quick first if clicking the first link in Wikipedia articles really does eventually lead to Philosphy.

  • A fight to your death it is, then.

    The triangular shape naturally draws our eyes to the pinnacle. Bottom-numbered D4 are evil and should be banned.

  • It would be so funny if China colonizes Mars, then the Martian Colonists declare independence, and Mars become a new bastion of Freedom and Prosperity.

  • Video/Photo work flow suggestion wanted

  • However you go about it, keep it simple. If it’s complicated or a chore to do, compliance will likely fall off and you might not maintain it.

    I do the YMD thing with folders, but fail to do the text file; it’s not a deal killer for me, but there are times we have to figure out what on earth we were doing. We can get a lot of contextual clues from the photos themselves. Depending on what you’re shooting, establishing shots can be really helpful.
