Agree. I rely on OSM for exactly this sort of detail for all kinds of outdoor recreation activities. I contribute missing features when I can.

I would guess that your lack of concentration is due to boredom, maybe because you're working on stuff you don't care about. If circumstances requires you to work on uninteresting things, putting the distractors out of easy reach

The Canadian federal government ended its similar program in 2014. According to an unsourced report in https://www.immigration.ca/how-ottawa-halt-thousands-quebec-... , 50k of the 60k residents admitted under QIIP have move

It's not so much "degeneration" as making sure the prerequisites are covered. For many students, learning the use of "tools" like math and grammar is more effective in the context of an application than for it'

The difference between the most detailed written instructions and apprenticeship / personal instruction is instant expert feedback. Skills transfer can happen much faster when the loop is closed.

For my application (guitar amps), Alpha pots definitely belong in rare category of components that are both cheap and good. The problem with manufactured gear is that pots and switches are often not readily available for DIY.

That is what I meant, without any intention to disparage. Both Flying V and Explorer arrived in 1958 and promptly flopped until the age of metal. They are definitely icons of metal as the prototypical "pointy guitars". The class

Seconded to the max. Being able to finish things is a more important ability than being able to do things perfectly. In my 30's, I put aside the pursuit of perfection in favor of developing the discipline to finish with acceptable re

What's interesting to me is how quickly the solid body electric guitar reached its technological optimum. The Telecaster, Stratocaster, and Les Paul represent the iconic forms to this day (No offense towards metalheads, who tend to pre

I'm still enjoying my 2013 Nexus 5. The first replacement battery (2015) was a winner, but last year's was a dud. I wonder if the batteries sold by ifixit are any good? It began boot looping a few months ago, which I fixed with

Loved your comparison to the historical Elvis. Whenever I saw news articles reporting on artifacts purportedly related to the historical Jesus, I always thought how little we know about the historical Shakespeare.

Indeed, the "America the Beautiful" $80 annual pass, good for vehicle + occupants admission to all Federal fee areas is an incredible value. You can buy it right at the gate as you visit your first park, instead of the standard en

That's great news. I came into contact with your father's work with vacuum tube audio. I always admired his solid engineering approach without mysticism.

Double same! Doesn't matter whether I like the music or not: it must be dissected layer by layer. Some of my non-musician friends wonder why I never have "background" music on at home.

Tonight I successfully upgraded my home router from LEDE 17.0.4 to OpenWRT 18.06. I was somewhat surprised that I didn't even need to reconfigure. As an OpenWRT user for about 10 years, I've appreciated its reliability as a primar
