So they said the quiet part out loud?

ps did I mention it's illustrated by ALAN LEE

I mean... it might be $200 that I'll never justify spending. It might be entirely pointless and tarnishing professor Tolkien's legacy. But it's still going on my wishlist, yeh

to be published in a limited gold embossed leather bound volume with 500 pages of commentary, March 2024

Ambient and some styles of classical music come to mind.

Hey some of us still find time for orgies.. some of us are paid to do so. And figs are always delicious.

I've legit seen an electrician do similar in a 480V switchgear in the US... used to help with installs of industrial submetering equipment, but rather than waiting for a facility shutdown, we would often install our CTs on live equipment. IIRC he wasn't even wearing arc flash gear...

but the rest of the state is rednecks and meth heads.

feels true about every state these days...

Isn't TNR a print font? It looks rather bad on a screen actually. I certainly wouldn't (and never have) use it for a technical report.

You think you can get the media again if need be.

Depending on how large your collection is, would you remember every item in it? How much effort did you put into organizing it?

IME it's far more of an inconvenience and expense rebuilding data from scratch than properly backing it up. And the peace of mind from a robust, tried and true DR process is golden.

btw NHD data tends to be too large for JOSM to handle... my one complaint about JOSM, I feel it could be more memory efficient. Qgis can be used to process and extract large datasets, just split them up into several files per state. (You also need to merge the source files.) But it's totally worth the pain, because you get a lot of rich, high resolution data.

Depending on where you live, your state or city might also have open datasets available.

I've only used vespucci and it gets the job done.

Chick-fil-A isn't that great.

I would never eat there because of their bigoted politics, but I am always shocked at how many people act like they can't live without it. Weird.

Fwiw I agree, the concept of "true randomness" never set well with me... often we use probability to model systems that are too complex to understand or calculate directly. However, in this case I defer my personal beliefs to genius scientists and mathematicians who have spent their whole lives exploring just this dilemma. So far we have no deterministic model for quantum mechanics, and no indication that such exists.

(not an expert or formally educated on the subject, but I recommend reading A Brief History of Time for an accessible overview)

yeah, it's addictive, I started with sidewalks in my neighborhood, and before I knew it, I was mapping parking zones, fire hydrants, trash cans, benches, traffic signals, speed limits, turn lanes...

Be sure to check out the osm wiki! For editing, you can use their web viewer, but I personally prefer JOSM for more advanced work. Vespucci is a great tool for mapping on your phone.

National hydrography dataset and national geodetic survey (but I actually meant USGS, they provide a lot of data, their map viewer is a good introduction).

Agreed, I've learned a lot doing this. Sometimes it leads to a story, like the ruins of a federal fire watchtower that was destroyed by arson, or discovering one of the largest fisheries in the country. I've also noticed a lot more houses are torn down in my city than might be expected. Whole blocks are empty fields now, or maybe have one derelict house remaining.

It's also disturbing just how much trash people collect in their yards... and the massive wounds of foresting and strip mining.
