I am not sure that it is unintentional. The observers may just have not asked what was going on. The reason I'm unsure of intent is the height of the stumps. That's rather abnormal as trees are usually cut much closer to the groun

Oh, I own several dozen bows, a wide collection of arrows, and a couple of crossbows. I take a couple of handicapped people out to hunt and Maine allows handicapped people to hunt with a crossbow. Wow... We are so far off-topic, but we&#x27

My link was arguably worse. Combining the two made it tolerable. Maybe my expectations for the NYT are too high but they did once have a very good science and technology section. And yes, I like bears and buffalo. I do live in the woods for

Indeed, it is entirely subjective. I speak only for me and can only share observable trends. I do see the appeal of urban living and I can find beauty in the structure. What I really appreciate is the combination of aesthetics, tranquility,

Someone mentioned that it may be due to our first exposure being a medical doctor and that makes some sense. I really don't know why this is. I've noticed this for years, to the point where it has even made me tired of responding

That's called lying with statistics. About 22% of the population owns a firearm. However, about 3% of us own 50% of the firearms. In other words, the number is accurate but misleading. Here is some recent data: https://qz.co

Yeah, that one amused me. It's almost worth getting an Alexa for that.

I did have it piping jokes to me, but they weren't very funny. Hmm... I should make the cow tell me the weather.

I will not be baited into math puns. At HN, going off on a tangent is frowned upon.

An alias into my terminal emulator gives me weather, scrapes some news feeds, collects my public IP address, updates a couple of things, and adds stuff like the IP address, along with date and time, to a text file. Silly things like that. I

Many of these people have spent time in academia. Surely, they encountered doctors who weren't medical doctors.

That was rough! I'm really not sure why people assume it is an MD. This happens with great regularity to the point where I've long since discarded the title and ask to not be introduced as Dr. KGIII. It seems a strange assumption

I used to drink, a lot. My then wife would take me to fancy parties where we ate things I can't pronounce and I pretended to care about the appropriate cutlery. She'd introduce me as Dr. KGIII and, sure enough, I was asked medical

Multiple notarized copies, just to ensure it hasn't been altered. If you do alter it, again make sure there are multiple copies and that it contains verbiage that it supersedes the previous document Not a lawyer, not legal advice, you

I hate being introduced as Dr. KGIII. Almost invariably, I'll get asked medical questions. I'm a mathematician.

Other than the hunting, it's a hobby. It is something that you can always practice and improve. At one point, I was enlisted in the Marines and seriously considered sniper school. Had I not been enlisted with the goal of paying for my

If privacy isn't your primary concern, and this is absolutely not private, you can also just use a redirection service and access .onion domains without installing Tor. Just take any .onion domain and append it with .to and it should w

I don't want to derail the thread. I'm outside Rangeley, Maine. If you would like some pictures, I'd be more than happy to email you a few. It is absolutely beautiful. It was comparatively inexpensive and you can hike all day

25 minutes on a bicycle will probably just barely get you to the neighbor's house, though you can take the trail through the woods. What you're not seeing is I've got about 3200 acres of mountainous woodland. I can have a few

Yeah, I did the suburban life for a while. Not quite urban, but a single occupancy with a fence that might have been ten feet from the sides of the building and maybe a thousand square feet of back yard. Getting out was great. It's not

This is so far off topic, but are you a farmer? I am sort of a farmer, blueberries and trees. I do have a tractor. It's an L6060, I'm kind of pampered in that area. Technically, I don't harvest most of the trees or blueberrie

I don't think anyone wants to be shot. Well, nobody sane wants to be shot. My politics lies on the err towards freedom side but I would absolutely not complain about reasonable regulations concerning firearm ownership. People seem to h

I'm retired but I am a scientist. I am technically a mathematician, but I still apply the method and use the philosophy of science in many areas of my life. I say that because I think it gives some color to my next comment. I have some

Oh, they are going to smash a hole right down the middle of it. You'll see I mentioned that. However, that just makes the cleanup last longer. They are also probably not going to smash all of the vehicles. Keep in mind, there are local

Username checks out! I really do recommend people take a break and go do some of those things they did as children. Go skip rocks, play tic tac toe for hours, and climb a tree. It helps ground me, and who doesn't like catching frogs? A

That is certainly one of Python's strong points, at least from my perspective. I haven't touched much code in a number of years, as I've had no reason to, but Python keeps tempting me. While generally a horrible idea, I can s

I believe Fark uses it to auto-generate story tags when they go green. I'm not actually sure if this is a compliment, now that I think about it.
