I really want one, but can’t stomach the price for what you get. Imma need something sub 10k… or something over 250 miles of range if it’s going to be 20k.

My EV gets between 280-300 miles on a charge and that works great. Any less will need to wait on more charging stations. Motorcyclists are known for wanting to ride highways over choosing interstates. Interstates have good charging infrastructure, highways… not so much.

This is a survey monument vs the original post being a control point. Survey monuments are established on a larger scale.

When you need to reference a known elevation or XY coordinate, there is a network of survey monuments with known coordinates, usually installed and documented by governments. You reference a known location’s elevation and north x west coordinates and then use instrumentation to determine angle changes to transfer the known elevation to a series of other locations.

When you section off property or build things, like roads or buildings, you use this network of points and triangulate paths off of them to the job site by calculating angles and distances. Since you have to maintain line of sight while traversing the distance, you add points you can use to pivot on and travel great distances. These points are called ‘control points’ or ‘benchmarks’.

The main post pic is a control point. Your picture is a survey monument.

DC isn’t a state… maybe?

The game be the game, yo.

It’s more complicated, but you can still use crowd-sourcing to recognize the ads. Then use an algo to analyze the ad, frame by frame, and reject that when it shows up.

It’ll take a bit of time, but their strategy isn’t going to last. It’s ‘arms-race’ style escalation on a digital front. Eventually, the crowd sourcing will be replaced by AI/ML tools. Ad companies, like google, will always try to fight back, but open-source will always respond.

You can’t beat nerds that are skilled and passionate about not getting fucked.

Was the tap water sample measured right after pulling it? Conductivity is usually related to TDS but can be effected by suspended particles in the sample. If the bucket of rain water was sitting and the tap water was flushed, it may affect the reading.

That being said, I’d expect tap water to have a higher TDS because of treatment.

Might be a reasonable argument if you didn’t have 76 years of his rotten behavior as precedent in processing the decision made by a jury of his peers…

When the screens started getting good enough to watch porn on, the size trend reversed.

Get an EV and you’ll never have to go to a gas station again. None of the chargers I’ve seen have ads on them.

Same same. I had a thermos I accidentally left hot cocoa (made with milk) in for about 6 months when it fell behind my car seat. I thought I was going to have to throw it out because it smelled so horribly rancid. I booked some water and flushed it out and used white vinegar for a few overnight soaks and it got the smell out. Like a brand new thermos…

You have a choice. Use their service with the shitty ads or find something else to do.

It sucks, but that’s what you’ve got.

Yes.

I was in operations working the DuPont schedule for over a decade. Concerning DST, you work an extra hour, with pay, or work a shift that is one hour less, depending on which direction the clock is moving

When we worked the 11 hour shift (normally 12), as clocks spring forward, you would be compensated a full paycheck if you had no overtime hours, as the company was forced to pay you a full 2 weeks of wage for the pay period. If you had any overtime hours in that check, your pay would reflect 1 hour less to cover the shortage due to the time change.

Some companies pay the full 12 hr shift when the clocks spring forward, but mine didn’t.
