The mics I mentioned have an internal pre-amp. Sure you can get even louder signal using external one, but they provide enough gain for one person speaking few inches from the mic.

Audio-input-wise, I fail to understand why anyone whose objective is to capture their own voice, would choose a condenser over a dynamic microphone. Dynamic microphone hardly those fan/AC/room nearby phone calls that the author ha

It would have taken less time and money to just sew it by hand. You can use scrap material, or order fabric from ripstopbytheroll.com (a popular supplier for anything MYOG). I buy most of my long distance hiking gear from US cottage shops w

Oh, hi there, it is good to see other thruhikers here indeed!:) Yes, I can imagine that being the case, I'm actually reading Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey, mostly about the times he worked in Archs National Park and it sounds just

That is why I mentioned that the SHR is not a good test case, it's an outlier - very few people hike it every year, there is really no trail other than where it coincides with the JMT highway. In that case, cairns are nothing but impac

lol, as a general rule, I think that's a good call, below the treeline for sure. The original Steve Roper's guide book for its brainchild — Sierra High Route, opens up by instructing hikers to do just that so it doesn't end u

Since my original comment didn't include explanation for why it's a good thing to restore lands back to their pre-bushcrafted state and the fact this very task is done by NPS and USFS, I edited my comment to add that missing info.

And for people who follow the LNT protocol, and perhaps even carry other people trash, the next step I suggest is to destroy bushcrafters' "shelters". They disrupt soil, more often than not made out of live cut trees (and hin

Unless I missed a quick hand maneuver, the storage technique you demonstrate, while result in a neatly coiled cable, doesn't involve a counter clockwise twist for every clockwise one, thus creating tension in the cable. For thin cables

The principle that induce this technique is that every time you create a loop in one direction of a cable, you twist the cable, the exact same twist that would have occurred if you held a cable with both hands and twisted one side (as if yo

Since patients are likely to have geographical proximity, such an effect could be observed even if a Doctor commit that fraud just in just few occasions.

"Fun" touchscreen story - I had to file a warranty claim for my not so cheap blender that had mechanical controls. The company replaced it with the newer model, that had, you guessed it - touchscreen control. Not long after that,

Given that I find it natural to use second person (singular) pronoun for the "voice" in my head, I find it weird that only second and third person pronoun (sigular) were part of the research.

Yes, I wasn't suggesting an increase in the wolves population but rather that this solution could worsen the rancher's problem (of the ranchers) by educating the wolves to feed on livestock rather than hunt elks and deer. Strictly

That kind of solution could create a Cobra Effect ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_effect ) where ranchers feed wolves with their stock. I'm surprised that livestock guarding dogs were not mentioned in the arti

Very nice, I didn't know about the Deedy Resume template. I'll give it a try, to see if I can squeeze my 2 pages (modern-cv) into a one page.

Does the output include the tex file itself? The main reason I chose to use LaTeX for my C.V. aside from the obvious typesetting capabilities is how easy it is to edit and source control it.

Do you know if git objects' size header was designed to deal with a possible collision or does it serve another purpose as well? Just some context - git calculates an object's name by his content in the following way. Say we have
