It's not near as polluted as it was in the `40s-`70s but it's still polluted and will always be muddy. I get the feeling the person who wrote that has never actually seen the Mississippi River. It's far from a clear mountain

As someone who moved to LA in the early 70s, and left LA in the late 80s, and spent some time to visit Palm Springs, Phoenix, and Las Vegas, I can say with full confidence that anyone with a lick of sense knew there was not enough water to

I worked at a place that would often take me off whatever I was working on and put me on something entirely different. In my case some of my fellow employees got riled about that. They thought I was getting some sort of special treatment an

I had a student ask me if he could work with me for free so I gave him a few tasks to do. He did great work on them. When he graduated he asked me for a letter of recommendation and I gladly wrote one for him. He used it to apply for a job

Well, yeah, but it's only a brief description of a service concept and they did that well enough.

I used to run a website called "Perlhelp.com" and would do that. I got some work from it, but I also lost my ass a few times because I didn't charge up front and there was one particular guy who'd tell me after I sent th

Three wheeled cars are an inherently bad design. They tip over too easily. The width between the front wheels looks like it's about as wide as what's legal, and that would help, but I don't think they've solved that prob

I went and checked https://brutalist.report/ to see what the latest HN posts they had, read the headlines and then moved on. A few hours later I went to HN and they were back. I wasn't worried about it, I figured dang

I peeked at their website and didn't find if there is a way to send an email from a web app. Do they have an API that makes that easy? (or at least doable?)

I have friends who spent a huge amount of money and time in "Arcades" playing pinball and then video games in the `70s-`80s. And others who spent even more on blow. I never got into gaming or blow myself. I was much more intrigued

I became a single parent when my daughter turned 1 year old. When she got old enough we'd go fishing, bicycling, swimming, and hiking a lot. We'd also go to a used book store twice a month (on pay day) so she could pick out a few

I made my own weather app for the area I live in. NOAA makes that easy here in the U.S. so it's trivial to hack for anyone with some web skills: https://azartiz.com/branson/

I can't speak for anything but my old Mac Mini (late `09). I have two monitors connected to it, both using 3rd party adapters I bought on Amazon. They go bonkers every now and then and I have to jiggle the cables on them to get them wo

Teens have always done stupid shit. They'll drink till they puke at every party they go to until they grow up and get tired of it, or they become adult alcoholics. When I was a teen I watched my friends having contest to see who could

I just looked into crime rates and they're actually close to historical lows. But that's not really a measure for rather we're "desensitized", and maybe that's the wrong word for what I feel about this. Basical

That is so spot on. When I was in my early teens I started working for a few small businesses that made mods to vans for people in wheelchairs to drive. I built and installed those as instructed without question. By the time I was in my lat

I can't say there are many things I do not want to know, but there are things I do not want to see like videos/photos of deadly car crashes, war battles, murders, etc. So I also never watch "slasher" movies/TV, or r

Ok, I get that. The political examples you give are valid, but couldn't gold (for example) work as well to fund Wikileaks? At some point you need to convert any currency to goods or services so to me the real value of a currency like t

Thank you. I missed that post, did a search for this url, and then submitted it. The conversation on that previous post did answer my questions and I learned a lot more.

It may have changed since I lived there but that was certainly true when I did. And I spent a lot of time rambling around the mountains, creeks, and NFs and NPs there and most all of it bushwhacking off trail.

When I lived in So. Cal, and even when I spent time in the Sequoia NP and NF, I never found a tick on me. I think I only found one on the entire 15 years I lived there, and I spent a lot of time bushwhacking around in those parks and the Te
