Competitions. In college I did the ACM ICPC and trained hard with my schools programming team.

These days I do advent of code, which will start on Dec 1. But you can go fo previous years now. It is great.

I think the picture is unclear somehow, the spoon is over the pot so it isn’t shifting the center of mass outward.

People seem to expect a lot of wild action over an active stovetop. That hasn’t so much been my experience…I mean after college.

Similar boat here. I got a handful of cheap Baofeng units and I’m pretty happy with them. Set channel and DCS code and enabled lock and not a peep out of them except for us. Crystal clear at least at the extent I’ve tested.

Anyways, I think no one cares about your call sign. Any serious use will be on a different frequency. If you go on GMRS you can expect 6 year olds keying up to say they just pooped. People will probably get crabby if you just open mic or vox constantly.

That is the best compliment I’ve gotten in a while.

Why would anything be swinging over a hot stove?

Note: house is only not covered in objects because the cleaners are literally still here.

I would absolutely take that trade-off. I don’t need a lot of range.

Interesting. I have no stats. Do you have any idea how many miles or how many charge/discharge cycles you’ve done?

Yeah, you can outsource key parts of your business but absolutely need to keep your eyes on it. We won’t know if they are on it or not for a while.

I am not buying an EV until they are using LFP batteries. LiFePo4 have so much more life…I really don’t want to be replacing huge banks of lithium ion in 5 years.

Some manufacturers seem to be getting on board with this. Disappointing that hedge clipper (what I know Fisker for) here isn’t one of them. Sorry…that is Fiskar, a totally different company.

Before looking at the trailer, I was expecting a complete white wash without any of the Chinese history. But after seeing that, I have some hope that it is faithful. We shall see.

Ha, yeah. I like it when I set off the alarms at stores and then ask, you want to look at my stuff? They just wave and say, naw, your good. Couldn’t get caught if I tried.

Yeah, shit got weird but I’m.into it.

Never build a big building without planting the trees for the replacement beams.

Heh, the blackberries will do fine regardless of what I want. I wasn’t trying to take them, some just got mixed in.

It is mixed in with some blackberries…there are some losses in the process. Fortunately blackberries thrive on abuse.

I haven’t watched the show yet but the books were very good.

The author came out of no where and self published on Amazon. Now he just boats around without a shirt. Occasionally he docks, finds a shirt and signs some books.

(I follow him on Instagram…only exaggerated slightly)

I’ve been fighting these damn blue spike vines.

That is actually pretty solid. Ordered one.

Expensive is a little bit a problem. Mostly I don’t want to spend money.

I’m going to try a Zimaboard for the backup server. It should be fine. I might need a USB hub but whatever, performance isn’t a wiggle there.
