  • The data theft and possible espionage seems like an even bigger liability for them. They know they did illegal shit, and those star link antennas were there for that reason.

  • I haven’t been, but I thought the long hike limited the amount of visitors, or possibly tour ticketing as well.

    I don’t think the matted grass is too bad considering that really any minor traffic in a limited area will compact the soil too much for grass to grow.

    At least they have an erosion control in mind.

  • You mean like a Carriage. Where the term car came from?

  • And snakes hide in grass.

  • Shared scooters end up being a mess for cities to clean up though. See Lime, Bird etc.

    Many people don’t seem to want to take care of things they don’t feel invested in, or that are used by other people. It’s why we can’t have nice things.

  • Pretty sure the Trump team would have plastered that all over the media if it had happened.

  • Good choice and those wheel weights aren’t too expensive either. Plus they stick in place. I’ve got a bunch left over from replacing rusty ones on my snow tires too!

  • It hit a phone pole 20 feet from our house once and killed our router and everything connected the the coaxial cable.

    All the windows rattled in our house and if it weren’t for the flash you’d think a semi drove into it.

  • Lightning and distant clouds are the only thing I miss about living in the flat Midwest.

    Mountains and blizzards are a good trade off though. We get thunderstorms too, but if you see a lightning bolt, you’re probably in danger of either dying or frying some of the electronics in your home. And your ears will be ringing.

  • I was working with the education division about a decade and a bit ago when they had an open source platform with sensors and motors. Then iRobot abruptly killed that division too, right as our project was getting going.

    I haven’t felt good about that company since.

  • I live both north and east of NYC, I want the later sunlight in summer and winter. The first hour of light is wasted on me and many others. Farmers maybe not, but around here that’s pretty much over by late October anyway.

    I’ve also lived at the most extreme opposite end of the Eastern time zone in Michigan, and like the late evening sunlight even more!

  • In printing it’s a little different, but if you need an exact color you can add it to the process, much like adding a varnish or other fancy finish.

    Orange was always a problem when I was a designer. It had to be specific, you had to send a Pantone chip along, hope it hadn’t faded or changed color over the years (or buy new ones constantly) and then it still came out different than planned.

  • We had a legit swear jar in a vocational class in HS (in the 90s). It was 25¢ per swear unless is was at the teacher, then it was a dollar.

    We had pizza at the end of the semester from the proceeds.

    The teacher later got canned for throwing a hammer at a student, but it was after my time there.

  • They’ll probably just force you to use an app that gets removed from the app stores when the next breaking OS change hits.

  • My wife and I have said the same thing about our son when he’s had a cold. But never when he could hear us.

    It’s a bummer that he’s such a good kid, but winds up when tired after school. Except when he’s sick, then he’s a calm dude who just wants to sit and read, and is happy to wash hands, eat dinner, and head to bed without thinking.

    He’s even said he’d rather not play games or screen time. It’s too bad he’s feeling like shit those times though.

  • The dogs like the lean-to, but we still sleep in the Bus (no mice in it!).

  • camping @sh.itjust.works

    My son's art project while camping at a friend's lean-to

  • You have to go to the failing farmland parts of VT. Way up north and east of Burlington.

    There are lots of small towns with nothing but a dollar store or a 45 minute drive to a Walmart. It’s weird because half the places have those American/canadian friendship flags and the other half have confederate flags.

  • I thought that when I got started, but I really enjoy the building and briefly enjoy the results. Then I’m happy for the owner to take it away while I cross my fingers that it all keeps working.

    It’s equal parts problem solving, fine motor skills, and perseverance that keep me working on old cars. That’s why I’m not at a dealership or quick turnaround repair place.

    It’s also why I’m poor

  • They can keep Toledo now that they’ve ruined it, but it’s clearly a chunk out of Michigan if you look at the maps.

    Fucking Ohio. Except Cedar Point maybe, haven’t be there in 15 years though, it might suck now too.
