That’s an absurd amount if honking.

Try and record it if you do.

Telling people in New England to use the Shaka hand gesture is gonna end up a lot different.

Best case scenario, they think it’s the “I love you” hand sign. 🤟

Careful things can get out of hand fast.

They’re a bit smaller, but I’d classify them as a fur conglomerate.

Even then it would be most likely seeded by a probe from so distant that they’d never be able to travel here. Think Voyager probe, but maybe faster. If we’d sent one with a bio seed package and sent it right at the best life supporting planet we could find it’s still gonna be 10s or 100s of thousands of years before it even arrives, then a couple hundred million years for anything to evolve there.

It would be sorta hilarious if we were a distant science experiment though.

It hit a phone pole 20 feet from our house once and killed our router and everything connected the the coaxial cable.

All the windows rattled in our house and if it weren’t for the flash you’d think a semi drove into it.

Lightning and distant clouds are the only thing I miss about living in the flat Midwest.

Mountains and blizzards are a good trade off though. We get thunderstorms too, but if you see a lightning bolt, you’re probably in danger of either dying or frying some of the electronics in your home. And your ears will be ringing.

I was working with the education division about a decade and a bit ago when they had an open source platform with sensors and motors. Then iRobot abruptly killed that division too, right as our project was getting going.

I haven’t felt good about that company since.

You have to go to the failing farmland parts of VT. Way up north and east of Burlington.

There are lots of small towns with nothing but a dollar store or a 45 minute drive to a Walmart. It’s weird because half the places have those American/canadian friendship flags and the other half have confederate flags.

I thought that when I got started, but I really enjoy the building and briefly enjoy the results. Then I’m happy for the owner to take it away while I cross my fingers that it all keeps working.

It’s equal parts problem solving, fine motor skills, and perseverance that keep me working on old cars. That’s why I’m not at a dealership or quick turnaround repair place.

It’s also why I’m poor

We were getting on a flight to leave Boston that afternoon. It was a little weird in the airport, but the full situation hadn’t set in yet.

Ironically the flight home from LA a week later was more stressful, as there had been the manhunt and nighttime capture of them at that point.

My brother was house sitting for us just a couple miles from MIT and had to be locked down, but it wasn’t the direction they went after the security guard incident. I think they ended up in Watertown if memory serves.

I’ve been thinking of setting up a node at my local ski area, both for others to use, but also to make custom timing equipment that can send start and finish messages to the timing computer and keep us from having to haul wires up icy race courses all winter.

I’ve never actually set one up or used one yet though, so it’s probably a few years off.

Real Boston pizza (chain) was Papa Gino’s anyway.

Still not as bad as NH though!

So you’re saying it’s not going to get better for me next year either?

Walmart could win that war simply by closing all of its stores in and around Alabama.

I clearly remember it, I think you might be my little brother’s age.

365.25*10 would at least get you closer.

Ruby should add 10.years.ago.today

Haven’t seen an open Dairy Queen locally in almost 10 years.
