Starlink has to be making tons of money, unless Musk is pilfering it’s profits like he is doing with Tesla and probably the other companies. Between the military using it, airlines using it now for their inflight internet, RV’ers buying it, as well as people who are not near the grid to get cable or regular internet…

RV’s are dropping price since this year sales have been down. Down some last year too. Dealers and manufactures are dropping prices right now to move units that have been sitting. I’ve see reprots where dealers have new ‘23 models on the lots that haven’t sold, not they are marking down ‘24's as it is time for the…

Ah yes, I remember when Trump went to that Carrier plant and saved all the jobs from going to Mexico........... but it happened anyway.   Or the time he went to the big Foxconn factory announcement to to bring jerbs to that area............... that never happened.  There is a deal no just announce dby Biden to fill…

I have ventilated seats. For me, I find they only work well if you have the AC going to the feet so the fan pulls the cold air from the footwell up through the seat. I don’t really use it.  Plus if you fart, it will push the methane up in your face.  I accidently did that with the cooling seats in my old Jeep GC with…

I usually drive with mine turned off. I have to have my hand on the wheel anyway, seems like a waste. I did accidently turn it on earlier this year and the steering fell notchy and stuff. I thought something was up with my Jeep. then I saw that I had turned on lane keeping and it was adjusting my steering inputs and…

They are and I have a front trail camera on my Jeep which helps parking and getting into spot evenly. I actually have 2 front cameras, one regular and one thermal camera. I use that in the fall/winter at night to see people/animals/police speed traps.  It can see and pick up objects farther than my headlights do.

Heated seats are great and not just for winter either. I used to use mine in the summer after playing golf and driving a long way from the golf course. Used to to keep my lower back from stiffening up.

Other than all the sleep moment stuff people are talking about, it is about your sitting position and bent knees as you blood flow through the knew is lessened when it is bent, leading to pooling of the blood in your lower legs and clots possible forming. When you stand up, the blood and clots are released to other…

That makes more sense.  

Wow. I have a Jeep GC 4XE and it is 5500 lbs versus the ~4700 lbs for my old v6 GC. What did they put in that Acadia? Definitely could feel the weight difference when driving it for the first time.

I rented some sort of Nissan sedan, maybe a Sentra, out of LAX one time for a business trip. Thing was a colossal POS. My older ‘85 Sentra that I used to drive was better. This thing has loose seats, like instead of 4 bolts, it had 2 bolts and they were the rear ones. The whole center armrest console was loose to the…

I don’t GIS much at all. TBH, QGIS for me is just a viewer and sometimes reprojecting shapefiles. I process lidar collections all the way from raw data off the plane to gridded final products do I am in before all the “GIS’ing” is done lol. We use QGIS mainly because of costs because it is free and our company was…

I guess this would help charging stations here not getting their cables cut off for the copper if this way of charging were to migrate here. Though those cars may get targeted and the front end ripped off to get at the cable.

Haha.  I don’t use ESRI stuff, we are pretty much a QGIS shop but we don’t use it much on hard GIS stuff.   We use it for setting up collection grids and boxes for aerial survey and associated uses.  

He is also a geonerd. Has a degree in geography and taught it as well. Uses and understands GIS. +1 for us geographers.  Recent talk about a month ago at the ESRI Users Conference out in San Diego.  

They didn’t check the Chili’s bar down the concourse.

Probably a decked out fancy Mercedes Metris.

This is true, but slightly used prices have cratered. I bought my ‘22 GC Overland 4XE “new” (was the GM’s wife’s car for a year) and it was marked down as it should have been. Coworker just bought a used ‘23 Summit 4XE for about $20k less with about the same miles I have on mine now, maybe a little less. He paid…

They are the same kind of person that trusts in-car navigation blindly and drives their vehicle into a river or some other trip ending geographic feature.
