All Activity

Remember when I mentioned 19th century railroad bridges a few months ago? A part of my re-visiting of photos I took in 2010, I ran a few shots I took of the Chester Arches and water below through modern software. Luminar 4 is a fine tool if one wrangles it properly. I'm still not much enamored by Luminar Neo. Watch out for that train! Tune in next time for a walk around town with a not very good Tamron superzoom "vacation" lens.

Plenty of tennis. It’s the Nitto Master Finals in Torino. Today semifinals, Sinner won De Miñaur, now to start Alcaraz vs Aliassime.

That's a good point, Rob. I haven't listened to their latest album but I should give you shot. Still, the last time I saw them live was certainly the weakest. Edit: I just looked it up and that last show was the tour for the new album last year. Maybe I listened once before the show but I didn't like the new stuff they played so I didn't go back to it.

I don't know anything about D&D or One Piece, but I can tell you're a good dad!

My reward for getting up and getting my laundry done early. A scramble of orange bell pepper, shallot, tomato, avocado and eggs. Bacon, biscuits and fried potatoes with shallots. Iced coffee with Irish Cream Liqueur.

The Bleak Shop of Old Stuff (2011): Featuring some strangely familiar old faces...

Ok, I think we have our adventuring party for Jack's bday: Jack - Human (regular, which in this gets +1 to all ability scores in this!?) Warrior (based on Fighter) / Elemental Weapon Subtype + Devil Fruit (he actually rolled and got Gomu Gomu and is so happy) West - Mink(Tiger) Rogue / Thief Subtype 4 Friends: Fish Person (Shark) Martial Artist (based on Monk) / Fish Man Karate Subtype Human (Human Giant, think Garp) Chemist (based on Druid) / Genetics Subtype Cyborg Tinkerer (based on Wizard) / Robotics Subtype Human (Variant, for skills and a Haki feat) Marksman (based on Ranger) / Bounty Hunter Subtype If anyone familiar with One Piece can weigh in on this it would be appreciated as I've only really watched the first season.

This is just plain beautiful! All pales in comparison 💕

And a happy belated from me too!

I find that both endearing and annoying.... I first noticed it with someone at my last company (back in 2011). She did talk like that with the "question inflection" at the end of many sentences. We started emulating her, doing the American Pie "Bandcamp Girl" voice that also does that inflection. Unfortunately, we found it started sticking, and we were doing it normally. So we weened our way off of that. I still occasionally hear myself doing it, and try to adjust as quickly as I can.

Thanks but I have a local company that does 3D printing for me plus almost all of the PCB companies offer it for next to nothing.

Our daughter, having lived in Australia for the last 10 years, developed the characteristic rising inflexion at the end of each sentence (listen to the Wombat walkers). She then decided that it sounded just wrong as an ex-pat Brit, and eradicated it totally from the way she speaks.

Hello Are these converters quiet? thanks for reply Is there a difference between the USA24400S-8 or the USA12400S-8? They differ only in the input voltage. Do they create a buzzing sound in the headphones, as is usually the case with cheap DC-DC converters? Can they be used to power an amplifier with +-400V? My HVRV power supply just broke. I'm thinking of installing two of these USA12400S-8. thanks for reply or any information. By the way, here's the HVRV board. I think he was inspired by Kevin's amplifier idea—the photo shows the same 20 transistors, 4 capacitors, and resistors.

I miss when the Decemberists were good.

Learning about the Melungeons.

If you have some designs and need to make 3d printed parts, I might be able to help.

Great album. They're a cool band too, if I remember correctly each of their albums is in a complete different genre. I'm a Trip Hop guy, so Londinium is a gem, but I think their other albums are decent as well. (just completely different) And thanks buddy

Happy autumn everybody...

Qobuz exists. Just sayin.

I will be there Saturday!

At least it's not ipodBJ

Maybe….

Anyone going to this year's? @justin @Dreadhead?
