Thank you for the compliments. The biggest factor was luck, the rest mostly handled itself. I'm sure you have plenty of fantastic photos. It is very likely that you would have a harder time deciding what your best picture is, as the consistency of …

Did you know that you're being tracked by doubleclick and google when you use this site?

This is from the link... the "ascertainment bias" is 5. That is, it's assumed that there are 5 times more cases than reported. The link explains how they reached that.

Not knowing the technology baked into the new iPhones, I am surprised at how well it does. Okay, not really. I suppose impressed is a better word. I know Apple spends a lot of time and money perfecting their products. For the GoPro, there is …

It is clear where the mistakes were. With pressure on to save the game, the center-fielder took his eyes off the ball before it was in his glove. Then, with the winning run closing on home, the catcher took his eyes off the ball before it was in …

I don't use NFC. In fact I turn it off when I get a new phone and it never gets turned on again. I have yet to find a use for it.

One must also consider individual factors like fit, comfort and time. For example: I am required to wear a fit tested N95 for some portions of my day. but doing so puts the nose piece of the mask in a place where I can't wear my glasses, or the …

I believe John Deere is the focus of this type of action as well. It includes an Eastern Bloc hacker who reversed engineered the diagnostic software that can be "illegally" downloaded for farmers.

I loved my 640 Adventure. Rode the wheels off it, figuratively. And while it did suck to ride a long ways on pavement, it was worth the misery if one had ridden the entire opposite direction of the trip on dirt. Like from CA to UT. Or PDX to Hyder …

There can be only one answer. We have a dimension; "2" which allows us to calculate the area of the Square at 64. I reverse engineered this based on a couple of facts. I also submit to everyone that I mislabeled the X and Y axis on my drawing and …

There are ways to fly "under" the airspace. If you look closely at the grids you can see the floor of the airspace. If you register your drone with the FAA I think you can get LAANC approval through Airmap. I'm pretty sure they've opened it up for …

Monument from memorial.

I took this while the state of California was on fire. I can't remember which time.

It's Sunday somewhere, and I'll be offline for a great deal of time tomorrow. This is tomorrow's submission. I took it with the "selective focus" feature on my Samsung S9 and then "auto corrected" the image with the software included in the Samsung …

Edited for Instagram. Exposure and all the details don't really have much meaning when I push the sliders around as much as I did on this one.

...and the interesting part is that I don't see that as an expensive car. Does it cost a lot? Sure. This is an expensive Merc in my …

I'm going to make a presumption that a more expensive vehicle these days comes with the improvements to performance that spending would imply. It is possible that those who have more powerful and better performing cars are merely enjoying their …

Not mentioned in the post is that he reported (to whom, I forgot) that his car had veered toward the divider in exactly the same spot one week prior. Consider also that the Black Box in the Tesla does not keep the autopilot telemetry and Tesla …
