I read every word on this site, last time it was posted.

The footage of the Rodriguez well (and TNT explosions), in 320x480 glory, are a time capsule of human ingenuity.


When you get a passport, get a Passport ID (wallet card) as well.

It can be used to purchase alcohol and enter 21+ clubs — but cannot be scanned and doesn't have your address listed upon it.


I'm a fattie on a D.A.S.H. (low salt) diet, but I do buy a dozen or so Creamy Chicken ramen every year.

At WalMart, they're now 47¢ (and I swear low-30s within the past year)... which actually helped me not purchase any this last visit (too expensive for all it is).


If you liked the Snake Bridge, check out US 441 as it passes (around itself) through Great Smokey National Park (Newfound Gap). The road literally underpasses itself in a very tight loop.

This is really cool; it's the merchant marine equivalent of the flight park near me which uses meshtastic for glider tracking/comms (secondary).

Lots of LoRa stations nearby.


On a 2021 Camry there is an below-dash fuse labeled "DCM" which you can remove (and it does disable OnStar/telemetry, but not sat.radio[0]) — it also disables one of the speakers (used for phone calls), which there is a bypass to resolve (but it still requires removing infotainment, so at that point just unplug it there.?!).

[0] It was my understanding that, like GPS-receivers, Sirius/XM was one-way streaming, only..?


There are GPS antennas that land on that DCM and the data from that is forwarded over carplay/android auto. Phones fall back to their onboard GPS but it's a much worse experience than we're accustomed to. If you share the car with someone expect complaints. Pulling the cell antenna(s) is the most elegant solution. People shouldn't be afraid of a little work.

I don't use cell phones but still this'll get me in the dashboard sooner than I had intended (never, before).

Hadn't really thought about the car broadcasting its bluetooth/RF . Is the SiriusXM traceable?

I found the attempt to promote his website as an "Ask HN" thread amusing, after his previous four "Show HN" threads were closed.

https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

I think reddit's moderation guideline [that <10% of a users' posts ought to be related to product], along with time-limitations [see Y Combinator's own policy on its own incubated projects posting].

With exceptions for truly exceptional users (community concensus) // none granted, here.

New accounts ought to be able to downvote (currently 501+ karma) before they can ever submit new links (somehow no current restriction), IMHO.

OP: you are obviously new here (possibly AI translations, minimum, if not clanking-outright)... if your account isn't banned (which it should be IMHO, for at least a few months): don't post again until within the next monthly "What are you working on" thread, which is auto-generated (not by you).

This will require that you actually visit the homepage regularly, to wait for this thread... which might give you an opportunity to learn more about this community's culture / structure / rules.

At a minimum, give the bare minimum effort of abiding by this community's absolutely bare bones rules (publicly available).


...I love the J.Rogers quote, absolute truth, master of wit. Thanks for the new quote to use as a bookmark in my personal copy of Atlas (not a book I recommend, young reader or old; nor do I agree with its overall cut-throat inspirationals).

If anybody wants the similar story of Xerox's fumble (due to enterprise stagnation), check out the incredibly-humbling Dealers of Lightning: Xerox PARC

Thank you both for sharing your gaming and IRL experiences. It's neat to see how problems overlap, in and out of reality.

Form and function (or something).


>prize for hitting 100 :)
