Usually thought to mean both small and cheap. Also something you could give several people without too much thought.

AP and CNN both reporting, for days, “no known motive”. That says all I need to hear.

3-4 a night?! That’s nothing at all.

Shortish, but having a long dick makes up for it. :)

Love this one and the comments. I can tell them apart at a glance.

Ah! The blurb made me think so. Anyway, the dude spent $2,300 in shipping. Yikes. That and the other money he has in it, I can get a boat hull and make it electric.

That was neat! Been screwing around with my huge canoe and 10’ flat-bottom. If I had to do it all over I would have gone for this. OTOH, we can get those two boats in the water by hand.

How’s it do against current? We could barely move the boat upstream on a quick-ish creek. I’m also in Florida (NW) so I imagine our ideas of current are about the same. Everything’s flat, nothing is fast.

Yeah, solar and a LiPO4 battery are game changers. My trolling motor isn’t nearly as nice as yours but I’ve never come close to wearing out the battery. Wish I know about those all along! Why 2 batteries instead of a fat 500Ah? Something I don’t know?

Nav lights yet? I love rolling my own electronics and it’s pretty cheap for what we’re doing.

Man! I’m sorely tempted to ditch the 10’ and look into this. Can’t afford it right now, but maybe next year. Got a purchase link?

LOL, we only have wussy black bears. There’s coyotes around but I hear they’re shy as well.

I’ll keep rolling. Don’t dislike it enough to quit, but if something else comes along I’ll put it down for now. Dropped out after book 2 for a Stephen King collection I didn’t know existed. Started book 3 today.

I’m far more into science fiction than fantasy, but the original 6 Dragonlance books are my favorites. Characters you care about and seem real are essential, which I why I love King so much.

For example, I like Eland a great deal, but rolled my eyes when he magically became Mistborn. Sazed has really shaped up nicely as well. But Vin (FFS, couldn’t even remember her name, had to search) I can’t relate to. You mean this 18-yo girl out her whuppin’ ass and stacking bodies and she has zero PTSD or anything?! It’s like she has no feelings.

I should probably note that Dune is my favorite sci-fy/fantasy novel. Love me some world building.

I’m assuming it runs on AI and the company has to provide the backend. So yeah, if you purchase something that requires a company’s infrastructure, it can certainly be bricked.

AWS does exactly this. They will roll up with a semi and move your drives anywhere.

EDIT: Crud. They ended Snowmobile this year.

Finished the 2nd Mistborn book today. Pretty good, but I’m not dying to continue. Should I?

Came here to say Discworld. But I wouldn’t want to live in the city any more than I do here.

Somehow this set off a mod. And I cannot imagine why.

The CEO hate around here is childish. If the CEO doesn’t do what the board of directors wants, he’s fired. And the investors can fire the board. And next I’ll explain how golden parachutes actually work.

OTOH, I have zero problems with targeting healthcare CEOs. None. Zip. Zilch. NADA. They know the evil shit they signed up for.

Which one exactly? Seeing a few.

Safety gear. When I hike:

• whistle
• emergency beacon
• road flare
• fire starter
• pistol, sometimes an extra mag
• spare cold-weather clothes
• first aid kit
• walkie talkie
• food
• compass
• space blanket and regular blanket
• plastic poncho

On the water is a little different, but you get the idea. And yes, loaded with beer it’s a 19lb. bag. Good exercise though and it fits and rides like a dream. I’m not really aware it’s on.

Haven’t had a delivery in 14-days, didn’t work. Bummer. I like my guy.

Massad Ayoub is the man when it comes to firearms and law. I know of no one more expert.

Rain forecasts are mostly spot on for me. Keep in mind, %chance of rain is covering a wide area. If we want better rain forecasts we have to dial in the resolution.
