    Just being born in some geographical location doesn’t make you a decendant of their people. You are a decendant of where your ancestors are from. If your family doesn’t celebrate their heritage then pick the one that best describes where they come from. Maybe sit down and ask your parents or grand parents some questions about your ancestry so you can come to an identity based on facts.

    I’ve owned my Stagg for about 3 years now. It’s a pretty damn good kettle, but very pricey. Since I already had the base with the Stagg purchase, I bought just the Corvo to try out and compare. When I was making pour over coffee I preferred the Stagg. (It got to be too tedious a job when waking up first thing in the morning) When making iced tea I prefer the Corvo since I am just transferring boiling water from one container to another quickly.


  • The new-ish Federal Trade Commission head has been making a push to work on quite a few projects for the past couple of years. They have a very small resources and man-power compared to the war chests of multibillion dollar companies, but recently, somehow managed to bring charges against Google as a monopoly. This in my opinion is a good thing. I consider myself a social liberal and a fiscal conservative. I don’t like how our government seems to take the money of these companies and turn a blind eye as they do what they want in pursuit of the almighty dollar. I support her endeavors working for the interests of the majority of people and not those few with the most money.


  • Demi Moore and Denis Quaid. I’m in. Gonna go find and watch ‘Revenge 2018’.

    Edit:

    Ooooo. Revenge 2018 is not good. I’m half way through it and so far there are major details that are just wrong. Burning yourself out of being impaled on a dead bush/tree and somehow not roasting yourself alive. Deciding not to remove the foreign object impaled in your abdomen until hours later. The choice of cauterization for the wrong type of wound. Clearly a pump shotgun with a mounted large objective rifle scope being called a rifle. The shotgun has two flashlights mounted. One in the handguard, and one under the barrel directly in front of the other. I guess it could be a laser sight, but why? Because it looks cool? It’s certainly not effective.

    If these few details are so wrong then how am I supposed to interpret any other details about the movie? As an accident? Framing, color, lens choice, shot length.

    This is style over substance. Fast food of cinema.

    Now I’m worried about this upcoming movie. I hope the attention to details get much, much better.



  • It looks like a point-to-point relay. There appears to be two different sized dish antennas on each antenna “pod” which would indicate two different frequencies are in use. I’m sure it’s the method they’re using to transmit the camera feed back to a landline connection. The poles without a camera are probably just a relay to get the signal down the next hop in the chain, or maybe there is some other sort of sensor data being collected at those points.

    Looking at the UniFi stats azdle posted the dishes in the pod are separate send and receive dishes. The size denotes the dbi gain.


  • Ethernet speeds historically were measured in 10/100. In my past life I worked for an a small rural isp. And part of my learning I was taught that cat5 was 8 strands of wire, or 4 twisted pairs. I got very familiar with crimping patch cables. If one strand were cut a network card would negotiate down to its lowest speed and still work at 10mbps. Operating on 4 wire or two pairs. It’s possible with those numbers you had a bad connection, or a broken strand in the cable and it auto negotiated down to 10mbps. To this day I still crimp my own cables, and I own a cheap cable tester to make sure the crimps and cables are good.
