I've been using OBS since it first came out (11 years ago?) on just a 2012 MacBook. Never had a single issue.

Aside from the buzzing rotors, wouldn't wind noise be a big issue too? When recording your flights, what noises do you want it to pick up?

Too many liabilities, squatters, delinquents, etc for private landowners. It's a legal headache to create a "camping ground" on your property in the US.

Thanks for sharing, I love minimalist CSS frameworks that are easy to digest. My go-to for the past ~5 years has been https://milligram.io -- mainly for the grid and basic styling -- although, the author hasn't updated it i

I didn't see a Medium banner. But just curious, how did this Medium banner you mentioned hurt your experience? Did you have to scroll past it, or press a close button on a modal? We need to stop pretending that internet platforms/

This is one of the craziest, most convoluted approaches to randomness I've ever heard of. I love it. Personally, I would've just had a third-party roll a die to establish the order. If there's a tie, roll again. More than 6 s

I haven't been past page 1 of Google in the past decade. For those paying for search engines (eg. Kagi), do you have examples of what you're searching for that you can't immediately find on Google?

All the more reason to attempt to harness this insane amount of power if we can also alleviate potential devastation by sort of venting that natural build up of energy resulting in eruptions.

To be fair, there are also metal gates, probably aluminum... but they only close after 8pm. I think it's more for aesthetics really. The communities in Palm Beach County miss the mark on being bad & boujee.

Nature is beautiful. But if this were a possibility, to create clean energy to power a nation, wouldn't you think that's more beautiful? I mean, is it any worse than hydroelectric dams?

A similar argument I have with my wife: She insists on only living in gated communities. I'm like, "it's just a PVC pipe that goes up and down, it's not fort knox." But for some reason that gives her peace of mind,

Funny quip, but my children aren't going into creative fields, the topic at hand. And for what it's worth, they're both graduating high school early to pursue medicine.

As an artist by trade, you're damn right I want my kids & grandkids to profit from my IP (though I'm no Walt Disney), whether 20 or 100 years later. Art is different my friend. I'm not piecing together code from StackOver

People said the same thing about Twitter with its original 140 character limit. Just easily-consumable content you can scroll through. I enjoy the artwork I find on there. If I want YouTube links, music videos, news articles, etc I'll
