I swam to the bottom of the first chute st Jacobs Well. The cenotes in Tulum Mexico were also pretty cool.

Yeah, I was in that storm. We were without power for 3 days. Fortunately it was not over 100f that during that stretch but It would have been so much worse if it had been. I personally know people who were without power for almost 2 weeks after it came through. Centerpoint was negligent in maintinging their equipment, right of ways, and getting their crews where they should have been.

Frankly, I am amazed it has not already happened in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, or Austin. The power grid here in Texas is a disaster and the weather conditions are unforgiving. At least in the desert you can do evaporative cooling. That doesn't work where its hot and humid.

I really like growing tomatoes indoors, just can't get enough of those sweet sweet red berries. I like them so much, they make my eyes red.

Someone check the pizza trackers around the Pentagon. If it's busy, we are in trouble

 

Google made lots of stuff that I used and enjoyed, then slowly made them worse or outright killed them off. Hangouts was imo the gold standard of simple chat programs, their podcast app was excellent and ad free. Both are now gone.

They also have been ceaselessly working to wring every last cent out of their products at the expense of the user experience. The products and services were fine and they were making loads of money even with adblocking and tracker blocking in place but they knew they could make more money and most people would just accept the inconvenience so they said fuck em and ran with it.

Yep, no one else will.

The awesome thing is that those marks can be counterfeit and you only know by looking up the number.

Is there a way to disable it on mobile? I have not seen anything yet.

Did you see any Bort license plates at the gift shop?

I went the same route, it was significantly less expensive to get a nicer custom ring made by a local jewler I knew, to my spec/design then to get a commodity one from a store.

The answer is it depends on a lot of things, my answer comes from my current financial situation which is stable but not anything crazy.

If I have been working a lot and have money to use, I value my free time at ~2-3x my equivalent hourly wage. If the task is something I enjoy and I have time, I'd rather do it myself than pay someone else. If it is something messy, something I don't want to do, or something I am bad at or might screw up, that is a problem that money can solve.

It shouldn't be controversial to say this but humans deserve free time, we should have leisure and hobbies. You should not have to constantly fight/work to survive. We as a species are past that point and it is sad that society has not figured that out. Instead society chooses to keep the status quo where some people have to work 60-80hrs a week to exist.

No, I don't have the answer on how to change that.

No zoom, it let me get that close. Xperia 5v.

 
 

I am swapping a seadoo rotax 255hp motor into a kawasaki stx hull and I needed a way to set the axial, angular, and radial position of the thru hull seal so I printed up some guides to hold the tube on the driveshaft while I fiberglassed it in. It worked brilliantly.
