It’s amazing the lengths that politicians will go to waste time doing anything but that which would benefit society.

The one near me got torn down this year…so not a whole lot I guess.

There are quite a lot of fairly good quality IEMs that are really inexpensive these days. Most of Linsoul’s brands come to mind.

Right, if you’re somewhere cold, you can cover up pretty much everything and not be out of place. Now, eating a meal at a restaurant or spending an extended time indoors like that would be a little out of place.

I have a lifetime pass and switched to Jellyfin years ago. Plex shoving their streaming content down my throat while putting my local libraries in the most tedious spots to access in the menus was a very quick turn off.

Sorry, but the shit companies have bought up all the smaller, non-shit companies, leaving us with shit for options.

Avoiding paved roads was a bit odd on first thought, but could definitely be something I’d use living in a place where paved roads may turn into skating rinks, while the many gravel roads are passable.

There’s a reason why data hoarders were archiving the entire CDC website (amongst others) once Don won the election.

If you have a powered doorbell, the Reolink cams can be powered by that too.

Gonna throw in another Reolink recommendation. I use Blue Iris as my NVR and have both that and the Reolink integrations in Home Assistant for motion notifications and lighting control. The cameras are durable (even in my very cold temps like -30C) and have really good image quality. If you don’t have an NVR or Home Assistant, the built-in motion detection and app is still pretty good and you can just pop an SD card in for recording.

This is the government’s favourite sport. What do you think all the tariff announcements and later withdrawals are doing?

I’m always curious if a non Android OS would work on these devices with multiple displays. I’d imagine likely only the main display would work without a fair bit of tinkering, which diminishes a fair bit of functionality for a device with 1.5 screens.

Former land surveyor. Was definitely counting my paces when I was not surveying.

Background: you’d often try to capture a grid of points, or cross section of a road, for example, at regular intervals. You’d roughly know your normal stride length conversion to metres, so if I were doing a 10m grid, it’d be: shoot a point, walk 11 paces, shoot a point, repeat for hundreds, sometimes thousands of points. It wasn’t long until you would be counting paces when you weren’t actively surveying.

No one went to jail the last time subprime loans in the US crashed the global economy, why would anything change? Might as well do it again.

I think Via needs to make substantial changes to become half-decent still, but that would still improve it.

I’m really glad the strike challenge is coming in next year. The strike zones were far too variable not just in the World Series, but the entire playoffs.

An incorrect call can have huge implications, like Jays winning game 3 if Varsho walks as he should have and Bo not getting tagged out in the confusion. Not just the Jays either. Smith’s strikeout in the 9th tonight was on a wide pitch too, and there were many other poor calls for a game 7. It’s just far too late to be relying on some dude behind the plate when we’ve had the technology for years.

With that, the Jays did far better than expected. Many were saying Dodgers in 5 or 6 with their pitching staff. The Jays fought a team with an obscene payroll to the bitter end, really 8 games plus two innings, and it was just a couple lucky home runs off missed pitches that did them in.

Hell of a season, hope for more of the same next year, see y’all then!

I think he was out, the foot looked to land back on the plate first, but does IKF beat the throw if he head first dives? Suppose we’ll never know.

Via Rail operations are at the mercy of CP and CN given their ownership (and lack of maintenance) of the tracks, though.

Yamamoto is going to be tough to beat, but to have two chances to win it all, both at home, I don’t think the guys would have it any other way.

Brains? You think any of these people have the capacity for logical thought?
