And if any younger people are reading, you can get a hostel for 20-50 per night. My daughter started working at mcdonalds at 16 and saved up to spend 6 weeks in Europe right after she graduated high school (2024). She bought the plane ticket a year in advance but once she was there she probably only spent $2500.

As we get older we need a nicer hotel, a pet walker/housesitter, time off work, money to pay bills ahead of time, etc. I wish I knew that was possible when I was young.

That’s worded poorly. I guess literally it translates as the “study of time” but physicists study the concept of time, and nobody would say they’re doing horology. If you read on it explains it’s the study of the measurement of time in general but horology has specifically come to refer to mechanical timekeeping devices. Watch and clockmakers are horologists, watch collectors may say they’re “into horology.”

It is like horoscope in that “horo” refers to time. Horoscopes are the “study” of the time of a person’s birth and how that affects their life or whatever.

There are things called stovetop fans that look like just a metal base with a fan attached to it, but they have a Peltier module or Stirling engine hidden inside. They use heat from the stove to turn the fan and blow warm air around the room. Should be able to make something using that trick that sticks down into a pot and stirs things. The thickness of the stuff being stirred will be the issue.

Watches I suppose, although I wouldn’t want to be called a watch collector because I have zero interest in most of the watches that most watch collectors consider must-have

It’s been a few years but I don’t remember it being too hard to set up. I did it on slackware, compiling everything from source, so anybody should be able to do it on a distro with dependency resolution.

They provided a zip file that is updated every so often (hourly?) and contains data for your specific region. I just used that. It does have an option that people can use their own data, but I think it’s because most NWS offices run this model in addition to the national models they get from upstream. No normal person has enough input data to be useful.

I haven’t done it in a few years but I used to run my own weather model. If fed the correct data and given time to crunch the numbers, several times a day you can create your own weather forecast that is probably (hopefully) similar to the freely available forecasts from the weather service, TV, radio and apps.

It’s fact that breaking up your outline works, just Google “science deer camouflage.”

It’s common sense that if you dress like a tree, you’ll look like a tree to a deer no matter how they see trees. If they see trees as yellow triangles and you dress like a tree, you’d look like a yellow triangle to a deer. The only other thing is they see UV better, so don’t use UV reflective cloth or you’d look like a strange glowing yellow rectangle.

It still breaks up the hunter’s pattern and is still an advantage to look like sticks and leaves even if deer see sticks and leaves differently than we do.

Update: I found a family of them. The first one was behind the building I work at on one side. I was on the other side today and found these.

Not an answer but you might be interested in looking up “parachute landing fall,” a method parachutists use to distribute the force of hard landings throughout their body. I guarantee every stunt person knows the PLF and the stair fall is probably somewhat related to it.

I’ve noticed they definitely have a method for rolling down hills in movies, they always do it like this Princess Bride clip. Nothing but their arms and back and knees touch the ground.

I think most people who aren’t good with knots tie knots that don’t hold and people who can tie a decent knot can untie them too.

Really, you can untie any knot, it just depends on how good and patient you are.

I’m not sure but whenever I need a pen I go to penisland.net, they might have some small ones

I’d say that’s right. I’ve never seen one before, and neither has anyone at work

I drive a Jeep and don’t feel a kinship with Jeepers. I used to. Mine is a 2001 and in those days I could drive across town and see 1-2 other Jeeps. We’d wave, and if we stopped at a red light next to each other, there’s a good chance we’d talk and possibly invite each other to go offroad or even just stop and have a beer or something. Most Jeepers knew their Jeep inside and out and had built, modified, installed and worked on every inch of them.

Nowadays, it’s weird. There’s 3-4 Jeeps at every red light, so why wave? A lot of Jeeps are superhero or cartoon themed which is the dumbest most childish shit to me. There’s orange Nero jeeps and blue Dory jeeps, green Shrek jeeps, and they’re all covered in so many damn LED lights they could signal Jupiter. I’ve never got into the duck thing either.

That’s enough of an old man rant. I won’t get into how I’ve seen Jeep events cancelled due to light sprinkles, how Jeep “offroad shops” mostly just sell LED lights and Jeep branded clothes now, or that time a trail leader interrupted me giving excellent advice to a Jeep experiencing brake fade coming down a mountain, to recommend taking the Jeep to the dealer.

You’re lucky to have that. My radar has ads.

They are doing it. There is a ton of decoy and anti-decoy research

A lot of 70s cars were pretty damn ugly too

“The 10 plagues are proven, that there was a “tower of bable”, Sodom and Gomorra, the city, from what i know are also proven to have existed.”

None of those are proven. Egyptians kept good records and there are no records of Hebrew slaves in Egypt, and no records of the plagues or their escape. Furthermore, the Bible says the hebrews had 600,000 men in their army, which means easily 2-3 million people in all. This is roughly the same as the population of Egypt at the time.

I’ve never heard anyone claim there’s any evidence for the Tower of Babel so I can’t comment on that, but people claiming Sodom and Gammorah existed point to naturally occurring Sulfer deposits as proof.

“But i’d gladly would like to hear, why you think Iesus of nazared is supposed to be fiction?”

Mythicism, the idea that Jesus wasn’t a real person, is not new but has risen in popularity on recent years because of historian Richard Carrier. There actually isn’t much real evidence that Jesus existed but there is a little. Carrier basically ignores or misinterprets this evidence and isn’t well regarded in scholarly circles. His most recent work failed peer review, which he attributes to a conspiracy against him.

“The apostals all existed and their letters are one prove for that.”

We don’t have a single thing that we know were written by the apostiles. They were most likely illiterate anyway. The Bible books Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were written anonymously. Hundreds of years later, the church put names on them.

Now you’ve done it. Here come the EDC people

Motion sensor positioned really close to the shower controls so it doesn’t see anything but them/your hand moving.

The bigger question might be how do you turn it off? I like the vibration sensor on the shower head
