Erh What. There is only one foodstore on Kodiak. I had what I could carry in one dry-pack. I sometimes made bear-proof stashes, because coast guard nannies so suggested, but it did not seem to matter. Only foxes were real nuisance, they che

I am also real life Grizzly Man. Watching Herzogs film 10 years later caused some indigestion. Those damn bears totally ignored me. At this beach family of bears walked past my tent and did not even bother to investigate. https:/&#x2F

Wrongness is that nobody bothered to explain what it means. Only 60 years later watching Youtube-video I learned that is was that simple. Mind blown. Could not find good video for EigenVectors and Nabla and all that shit. So incomprehension

Also now that we are modifying hardware and 3d-printing, one could make USB-4 hub which is practically invisible. And because we want to use some particular RF-mouse, we can also strip that dongle and insert it inside this selfmade hub, mak

Dont buy funds. Make your own. Buy 100 stocks every year for few euros and sell those that have no life. Five years ago I sold such dead duck at enormous loss. I bought NVIDIA, because maybe those Bitcoin-nuts support it. Also very similarl

In ADM-3 (or some such) there was only one backspace+overstrike character and it was underscore. So Ä and Ö was marked thus. Otherwise HYVÄÄ YÖTÄ was HYV{{ Y|T{, which was only little miserable. But if you changed the ROM into Swedish ROM,

I did not understand why recently HN-referenced "which-key" does not work at emacs 25, but work at emacs 27. ChatGPT parsed the cryptic error message and suggested remedy, which was (defun string-empty-p (x) (= (length x) 0)) For

Chinamen should amp their game. You can charge 30€ more on a shitty watch if it was "open-source". I have LilyGo T-Watch for 40€, and if it was waterproof, it would certainly to be only watch I ever need. https://github

CS was weirdly like a dream. When waking up, it took some moments to grasp where you are now and what time of day it is.

Erh. What? I bicycled across America in 1984. Never seen in any other country that a food store can be open at midnight. As regards 1979 Finland, this was far after beforementioned reforms. I remember I almost died on a 100km sunday trip in

Fascinating thing about america 50 years ago was it seemed to work 24/7. In Finlandia it was illegal to work after 16:00. Then we got a nazi government who decided that small shops and kiosks can extend their hours upto 18:00. Worst th

Achually I am an expert. When I was kayaking in Chile all those small boats had such reflectors made of tin cans. The construction was so particular and uniform that it must have been goverment mandated.

The aim is to make it totally foldable and flat. For example: In life rafts they often have inflatable balloons, which have metallic foils inside in this 3D - configuration.

This works with two, but you need third to make 3D-reflector. There is no elegant solution except cutting 90 degrees slices. And it does not fold easily.

There are only two eras. Simplex-era when had to check everytime if chain is aligned. First you do it by ear, but if it does not sound good, you do it visually. [edit] This is btw why Eddy Merckx was constantly checking his crotch. And Shim

I need to combine CDROMs so that they form a radar reflector. With lots of 90 degree corners. Preferably a folding radar reflector. Some attending Origami Master might have solutions that are less obvious and simpler than just cutting them

Where and when energy is truly needed, the sun does not shine and there is no wind. So this is kinda futile lip-flapping in style of the German Green Party.

I have 420 mm folding bike with Nexus-3. The correct ratio is less than 2:1, which meant changing both sprockets to smallest and largest available. I do not even know what to do with 622 mm wheels.

They are always sold with wrong sprockets. The high gear is never usable. Number 2 gear is connected directly, and so it should be the default on no-wind flat road. Then it lasts forever on flat country like holland.

Forth was the sweetest thing in fixed length machines 60 years ago. When everything is one word, you can assign unique symbol for that word and keep those symbols in separate file (aka paper tape). Some Forth primitives were also machine pr
