Why not compare 720p 265 to 1080p 265? I don’t get anything in 264 these days, 265 support is ubiquitous and the performance is so much better.

Detect fires, save lives.

Perhaps it’s a bit pedantic, but I’d consider that a road sensor not a weather sensor. Road condition and a webcam is related to weather but not one of the primary instruments like a barometer, anemometer, thermometer, rain gauge, etc.

I see what you’re saying though, it could be one of those road sensors.

Doesn’t look like any weather sensor is there to me.

I’d like to point out that grilling and barbecue are different things. Most guys do not barbecue. Grilling is extremely common, though.

“tactically acquired” was a favorite of mine

What stood out the most to you about Americans sexual hang-ups?

The thing that stood out the most was some latent inherent shame to being naked. When my wife and I first got together, we’d rent some cheap hotel rooms and go there to hook up, she’d get there first and shower. I’d arrive and she’d answer the door naked and it was just wild to me. She was so comfortable in her own skin and fine just existing totally naked (in the appropriate circumstances). I had to quickly recalibrate what I thought was “normal” and my life was improved as a result.

Should have used a Texas ID, Mr. Sample.

The biggest thing I learned from living in Italy for two years and then marrying a Korean woman a few years after that is that Americans have fucked up views on sexuality and nudity. I came from a pretty liberal secular hippie type family and I was surprised to find I had some residual cultural hang ups just from growing up in the US.

It’s a robot you hook up to your PC or phone and it jerks you off

The drugs: weed vapes
The computer/human interface: VR goggles and a stroker

“Military ammunition” sounds scary until you realize it’s only made to be acceptable for military purposes, and the truly excellent grade ammunition is made for civilians.

I’ve had about 275 BTC pass through my wallets throughout the years. I actually used it. My friend who was “too stupid” to use it still has 2 of them from the $10 BTC era.

Never saw it as an investment, just something to help me get acid in the mail.

I recently re-entered the dating pool for the first time in a decade and it’s incredible how much attention I get from just appearing clean, having my shit together, and not posting a picture with me holding a fish. Never got so much attention from women before in my life. Had a date in like one week.

The bar is very, very low. I am sorry, ladies out there.

Radio is the OG fediverse and I want to promote decentralization and self-sufficiency. Amateur radio is a lot easier and more accessible than you might think.

No worries! It’s a cool hobby. Getting licensed was a bucket list item, as nerdy as that sounds. Still gotta learn Morse code but I hope to one of these days. Seeing some old heads tapping away at a local HAM event was pretty damn cool.

I did - I’ve got my general license. Missed extra by 2 questions despite not studying for it whatsoever.

Honestly I’ve been doing this for like 2 years now and I’ve not really keyed up and transmitted in the amateur radio sense, just GMRS walkie talkie stuff with the homies. Still, it’s super cool being able to listen. Picking up satcom stuff is just neat. I also take it to the airport and listen to the pilots talk with tower/ground crew.

One of these days I’ll transmit for real, but I have no problem following the “LURK MOAR” guideline as applied to amateur radio as I learn the culture.
