The thing about the more affluent areas is they generally don’t shoot people there very much.

Not sure how to add multiple pictures to a Lemmy post. I have close-ups of the alternator housing and I think maybe the throttle body, melted 80% into the asphalt.

Contrary to my own misleading title, this picture was taken in Death Valley National Park up on top of a mountain where the air is crisp and cool.

This was very cool to learn

My six-year-old and my eight-year-old started fighting and chasing each other around on a skinny trail at the top of the Grand Canyon with very long drop-offs and no fences to either side.

They didn’t die, then, but each time I remember it again they are at risk of being murdered

only going after overt political dissidents and brown immigrants

They seem to have detained some white tourists lately as well.

If that is true, please explain why all the chicken for sale in my country has gone to shit and good quality meat can’t be found anymore.

Regulations matter. Hold on to them.

I spent last Spring in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Quebec. Had a blast. Land's End and the entire Gaspesie peninsula was beautiful. Watching the tides at Hopewell Rocks and walking on the seafloor while the tide was out was wild. Whale watching and eating scallops out of Digby was awesome. All manner of cool things in striking distance of Baddeck. PEI has... um.. a surprisingly interesting potato museum. Go for it!

I was so mad about those catapults. I’m still mad. That battle was just completely unforgivable.

It’s not like they didn’t HAVE consultants on retainer for this series already. Give me a break!

I need to go lie down now.

I can press the entirely local switch and have light.

Are you sure about that? Is it a local connected smart switch (still fancy electronics, just local) or a plain old power switch?

If it’s a power switch, and If you turned your lights off by app over the internet, and then the internet went out, then your lights’ ability to come back on when you flick the physical switch depends on somebody having thought about this need and programmed a “oh, the switch was flicked so I better ignore the internet settings” mode.

And if they did that, it also probably means your lights all turn on after a power outage since the light can’t tell the difference between power outage and light switch flipped off.

We’re on the micromobility community. Not a whole lot of micromobility you can safely engage in without some head protection

 

I think I'm about to buy a Velotric T1 ST Plus which would be my first ebike.

The manual says to store it indoors at a temperature of 50°F to 77°F (10°C to 25°C). However the location I actually have to store it in is in an uninsulated shed that will probably reach 120ºF (50ºC) in the summer in baking sun, and below freezing in the winter.

Is this going to kill the bike or its battery?

 

I have a U.S. Sailing basic keelboat cert and a couple hundred hours’ experience day sailing 22’ Capri and dinghies in protected water.

With that level of experience, who will rent me a boat to noodle around in San Diego bay?

 

I have an off-grid setup with a few devices on a local network that is not connected to the internet. I can tell my iPhone to use the non-internet wireless LAN to talk to those devices, OR I can tell it to use cellular data to talk to the Internet, but there’s no config on the iPhone side to let them be both live at the same time.

Is there any magic config on a wireless router e.g. certain DHCP settings or just disable DHCP, that will let the iPhone route to static 10.x IPs on the WLAN while the cellular internet is still active?

Any “advanced network settings” on the iPhone to manage multiple NICs?

I find after this election that I have an unexpectedly pressing need to wave large obnoxious flags from my sensible fuel-efficient subcompact while I drive.

Has anybody got models, templates, suggestions for how to mount a stout pole to a hatchback? I’m thinking of some kind of tube on a short arm that I could close the rear passenger door or the cargo door on to hold it in place.

 

I have some little black ants in my motorhome. I’m pretty sure I picked them up at my last stop in upstate New York but I’ve since driven far away from there. Wikipedia says little black ants nest in the soil so presumably I didn’t take their queen with me.

What’s going to happen to this group that hitched a ride? Are they likely to elect a new queen and go looking for a good nesting spot, or curl up and die, or what?
