Notorious b.s.d. posted:having some jams at the beach is good fun speakers at the beach are okay as long as it's the sort of beach where people bbq and party and you aren't blasting it so you can hear your awful taste in music from 500 feet away. do not bring bluetooth speakers to a rocky beach on a pristine wilderness lake. if you take speakers into the forest or the mountains you are instantly damned for all time

Honestly we need a better word than Tech to describe what we're actually talking about here Like -- arc welding is technology, but that's not what's ruining the planet (except in a very abstract "capitalism ruins everything" way). Surgical tools are technology. Air traffic control is technology. LED light bulbs are technology. The bad technology is computer technology, and more specifically it's computer technology where the overarching goal is harvesting your data to sell you things, and playing little psychological tricks to keep you coming back and revealing more about yourself and buying more poo poo We need a word for that

one of the things my dad left to us was a 25 foot cedar strip canoe built for moose hunting. normally it would have been paddled by a team of 8 guys but it also has a square transom for an outboard motor. we have a 10hp mercury and it scoots pretty well. long, narrow waterline. it's a gigantic loving pain to haul it to the water but it would be a pretty dang classy way to take the whole family on a trip if i had like 5 kids

yee i mean it's just a giant canoe, ultimately, but deep in the canadian shield that's what it was built for. carry a whole hunting party plus a week's supplies plus a dead moose or a couple of deer or like five hundred birds

Jimmy Carter posted:kind of considering getting Private Pilot's license these days now that I have some amount of money, even more so now that I just found out how many US Forestry Service airfields there are and how you can just land at most of them in your standard Cessna 172 and camp out in the middle of nowhere  your renter's agreement will often prohibit you from landing on grass strips (without getting permission from the aircraft owner/flight school's chief pilot)you can always buy a plane too, though, i suppose. get something with a tailwheel if you're gonna go into the woods

Well, I rise up every morning at a quarter to eight Some woman who's my wife tells me not to be late I kiss the kids goodbye, I can't remember their names And week after week, it's always the same And it's Ho, boys, can't you code it, and program it right Nothing ever happens in the life of mine I'm hauling up the data on the Xerox line Then it's code in the data, give the keyboard a punch Then cross-correlate and break for some lunch Correlate, tabulate, process and screen Program, printout, regress to the mean Then it's home again, eat again, watch some tv Make love to my woman at ten-fifty-three I dream the same dream when I'm sleeping at night I'm soaring over hills like an eagle in flight Someday I'm gonna give up all the buttons and things I'll punch that time clock till it can't ring Burn up my necktie and set myself free Cause no'one's gonna fold, bend or mutilate me.

yeah the best way to protect your bike is to keep it inside and out of sight, and to not have a super desirable one in the first place. like i will lock my bike up with a good kryptonite lock while doing errands etc but while i'm at work i bring it in. and forget about leaving it outside overnight

Tons of my students prefer to use their laptop trackpad rather than a mouse in all the graphics software we use and it drives me loving insane "You should really get a mouse" "Oh I just got used to this haha" "No, I'm serious, a mouse will make you like three or four times faster" "I don't know I just don't like them and I'm really good with this and used to it now haha" Then I demo something and whip through in 8 seconds with a mouse and shortcuts what would have taken them a minute or more and they're like "omg how did you do that so quickly" Argh

i dream of someday buying a little tiny float plane and flying it up to any of the 100,000 tiny unspoiled lakes in northern quebec where no humans ever go and just existing in the real world this is a random 40x40 mile chunk of land a few hours north of ottawa. infinite lakes, one road, no cities, no people

yeah i get that but idk, a little ultralight isn't especially loud and if all you do is come in and land and shut down it's not despoiling anything. maybe in the future they will have electric motor-glider floatplanes so you can glide in silently like a bird and only make a few seconds of whirring when you leave a few days later

Was it an irukandji jellyfish? Cause apparently their venom has a weird psychological side effect where you get an extraordinarily powerful feeling of imminent death, to the point that people who have been stung literally beg the doctors to kill them and get it over with It goes away after like a day but you have to put patients on suicide watch until it does lol
