If ‘they’ desire an increased drone market ‘they’ need to lift a lot of restrictions. In the Denver metro area, for example, there are cities that ban flight on city property (including all parks and roads). All local counties ban them in open space parks. There is an airport or hospital helipad within 5 miles of…

Bran, aka Lord of Light, brings back Lyanna Mormont who single handedly defeats the golden army and takes the throne from Cersei.  Everyone else spends the rest of the season cleaning up bodies.

My facebook friends are pretty much just relatives...

What do you mean “don’t do all that much”?  It passes butter.

Thanks for the tip!

Fun Fact:  using a dimming app on a kindle fire will disable the ability to update software and firmware.  Super weird, right?

This article briefly mentioned sobriety that’s not part of recovery. I just don’t like alcohol. I’ve never been ‘fun’ so it tends to be a non-issue with the kind of people I date. The only time it’s an issue is when someone tries to get drunk around me. It’s like going from a happy fun date to having to babysit a sick …

What is the advantage of running a plex server instead of a simple file share?

Since learning about DNA I’ve wanted humans to figure out how to change it to the extent that different bases code for the same proteins, similar to what they modeled. Humans genes could be translated directly from old DNA to new DNA, plus some minor ribosome changes. The advantage is that viruses work on old DNA.…

This applies to most holidays. Pink Reese’s hearts (or white ghosts or yellow eggs...). I really liked Reese’s cups, but I’m practically allergic to chocolate. About half of their non-chocolate stuff still contains cocoa butter and I don’t really like the white cups. There’s usually one thing I can eat every season.

I saved up for a month then walked into someone’s house, handed them the money, and declared that I live there now. It was 2009, so that was pretty much how it worked back then.
Seriously though, I couldn’t afford anything in 2006... 2007... nothing to do but save until the prices of houses dropped and my savings went…

WHOOSH —Martinez fires a burn from the nosecone array. The thrusters fight against the slow tilt of the spacecraft...

I rather enjoyed kayaking during the Balloon Fiesta. Some balloons came down and dipped in the river right next to the kayaks, a great photo opportunity. Be prepared to walk in the river when the kayaks bottom out in the low-tide summer months.

I can’t eat a few things because of migraines. My go-to phrase is “it’s not an allergy, but it’s close enough”. Most people take that to mean I can’t eat the ingredient, but they don’t need to change gloves and scrub down their work space like with a real allergy problem, which is exactly how I intend it.
Regardless,…

‘waiting for stats.g.doubleclick.net...’ My freezing web browser agrees with you in theory.

I witnessed two big problems with my friend’s surgery. 1: The oral surgeon said nothing about birth control pills, time of the month, and dry sockets. It turns out she got surgery on exactly the wrong day which practically guaranteed dry sockets. 2: Too few pain killers. They would only prescribe one day at a time,…

Apparently peacock/turkey hybrids are a thing:

I was just looking at the Thermoworks BlueDot a couple days ago. It seems to have features comparable to the iGrill Mini and, presumably, better quality.

The Finnish president probably did tell Trump they rake their forests just to see if Trump was dumb enough to believe him.

I’m a skeptic. I wouldn’t assume that the head of the government was involved in every little assassination. That said, now that Trump denies it it’s hard to think of the Saudi crown prince as anything but guilty. That, and this article lays out a pretty good (but not conclusive) case.
As a side note, are other…
