  • Denver isn't great with public transport either. There's at least a minimal light rail system and buses go pretty much everywhere, so that's the good part, but the city is so sprawled out that unless your destination is a direct route you're looking at an hour or more to exclusively use public transport. And that's really the main city. Start getting out into the expanded metro area and there's not many choices except for a handful of spur rail or bus lines.

    It's a lot more than many American cities, especially on paper, but in practice it's pretty rough to use as a primary transport.

  • Classic case of know your audience. I don't think this is going to be a particularly unpopular opinion here. I know my personal anecdote doesn't mean everyone else agrees with me, but myself and most people I know with social media have dramatically backed off. I think if it weren't for fb shoving strangers and paid content in my face, my feed would be dead. As it stands I only even log in for my bootleg weather guy's posts.

  • At the time of this comment, 3 down voters. Who are these people? Anti foie gras people to the point of it being even mentioned gets a down vote? Heavy drinkers that hate French food? Ducks or geese that have opposable thumbs?

  • I guess that's a caption not a "what's going on" but I'm sticking with it

  • The poor tree never crossed tiger again

  • Book bans all the way down

  • That's a good point, and lithium batteries get sparky when the lithium gets exposed. In the boat example I'm not going to worry too much about lead acid batteries, if they leak it should dilute quickly. Honestly unless punctured, I'm not going to worry about the lithium batteries really either. You typically find out about punctures in those rather quickly. Like before the water is the issue.

  • No expert but do have an electronics degree and somee EE theory courses later in life. I don't think much would happen. Don't be a direct bridge across the terminals yourself and I don't think there will be much of an issue being in the same body of water as a battery with even close proximity.

    But I could be very wrong.

  • Yep, using one to run clipper for my 3d printer with armbian as the OS. It's been rock solid for me. There obviously some adaptation and discovery when trying to use the io as it's similar-but-not the same as the raspberry pi io and manipulating it is not the same. But it works, it was available, it was competitively cheap, and it's been stable

    Plus I get to say I'm running my 3d printer on a potato

  • Yeah, I was texted the other day to fill out a survey and didn't even reply with the "stop to opt out". Just, leave me alone. I'm not excited for Biden but I'm going to do what I need to do. That won't show in any polls.

  • It's probably NaCl

  • In other news, several border patrol agents seen chasing tornado with tasers drawn.

  • Devs fault, missed the deliverables promised by mid level managers and/or product owners that were impossible to meet but needed to be released anyway

    Not a bitter dev who's been there/done that or anything

  • I really hate it when questions are put this way. Forget about need. Needs are food, water, shelter, health, etc.

    Why can't we just ask, "would anyone really benefit from 1khz gaming display?" Then we can discuss the merits of the subject and whether there's actually a reason to move to it or if it's just more marketing and dick waving points.

    It feels like asking if anyone "needs" it is unnecessarily loaded with snark and judgment.

  • Literally 5 kobolds in a dragon coat.

    Hahaha, this is so brilliantly funny. Well done. If I were in your party I certainly would have approved.

  • It wasn't too heavy for me, but I'm a pretty stocky dude. I don't regularly backpack, but I have backpacked with mine. 5lb 5oz plus footprint. Honestly I might not be the right person to answer that question considering I'm the type that even brings a 3lb ax backpacking. If it takes up too much space in one pack, you can split it between both of your packs. Poles and footprint in one, rest of the tent in the other.

  • I can't vouch for that one specifically, but I have the REI quarter dome t3 and it's served me well for a decade, and I was looking at getting the 3 person of the one you linked just because mine is showing its age at the taped seams. I don't think you'd be disappointed with it based on your criteria.
