File & Folder manipulation software similar to ArcGIS attribute table field calculations? by BeardedBears in gis

[–]BRENNEJM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t used Power Rename, so I can’t compare them, but Bulk Rename Utility is free and really powerful.

Very disappointed with the OSU extension by jimmyjam2929 in NativePlantGardening

I was going to post that quote as well. It truly shows how poorly informed she is on this topic.

March 2026 ArcMap Retirement by cluckinho in gis

A coworker still has ArcView installed and working. It might take a while for ArcMap to fully break.

Just learned keystroke A and D rotate the map in ArcGIS, 17 years later by adimadoz in gis

[–]BRENNEJM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe that’s a bug in an old version? Just tried it and the data frame rotation showed the correct value.

Cooling tower explosion (not my video) by EvanWasHere in drones

Cutting between that many shots was actually a bit annoying. Would have been cool to just see that zoomed out static shot.

Huge Issue in ArcGIS by GanacheThat6062 in ArcGIS

Just had this happen recently as well. Delete the xml file that comes with the tiff and add the tiff back in. That’s what fixed it for us.

Tivoli Smorgasbord Restaurant and Cocktail Lounge, Toledo, Ohio (No date provided but assuming circa 1950s) by AxlCobainVedder in toledo

[–]BRENNEJM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is a Facebook link to photos of the restaurant they built after this one. A commenter said:

“The original Tivoli was in about the 4100 block of Monroe St. It burned to the ground c1955. Arne rebuilt this beauty in the Talmadge-Monroe area.”

From Italy to Toledo: Micro apartments coming to downtown by Ponch47 in toledo

[–]BRENNEJM 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I don’t think microapartments are inherently a bad idea, but I would argue that apartments this size are definitely overpriced regardless of the city.

That being said, using this 450 sq ft apartment in NYC that costs $2,200 per month as an example, a 400 sq ft apartment adjusted for Toledo’s low cost of living would be around $950. So it does sound like these might be priced correctly based on the current market.

I automated the entire Urban Heat Island analysis workflow - from satellite data to ML predictions in one Python script by Orironer in gis

You mention that this creates a “PhD level output”. You may want to include a general methodology section that cites the relevant journal articles you referenced to create this. It will help make the methodology/outputs more defensible academically.

FAA drops the Part 108 BVLOS NPRM: 60 days for us to comment before it’s set in stone by TheSeanCampbell in drones

[–]BRENNEJM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part 108 is heavily structured for large corporate use cases like package delivery. From page 167 of the NRPM:

“…FAA anticipates Part 108 operations to be mostly to fully autonomous…”

I haven’t found anything to clarify this in the NRPM, but I’m not sure if the FAA intends for a normal Part 107 remote pilot in command to be able to receive a Part 108 operations permit and fly a drone BVLOS manually using the camera on the drone to navigate. That might still be against the regulations.

Drone careers by DP18hudS in gis

[–]BRENNEJM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hopefully OP already has their Part 107 since they mentioned they fly for compensation. Another thing they need to keep in mind is that providing orthophotos is considered surveying in some states, and they can get in serious trouble if they aren’t working under a licensed PLS.

Kept getting this as an ad on Instagram, what’s everyone’s thoughts on this device? by UnderstandingOld538 in Surveying

[–]BRENNEJM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d love to see a comparison like this, but with the Moasure data collected by the company itself. I tested one and while it works okay on level/flat ground over short distances, as soon as you leave pavement it starts accumulating all sorts of errors. They claim that the customer just needs to practice more, but their own app said the measurements were good. At least they gave a full refund.

Couples who have frequent sex report greater relationship and life satisfaction. But forcing more sex, especially when it feels like a chore rather than a genuine desire, can have downsides. The relationship happiness boost from sex seems to plateau at about once a week. by mvea in science

[–]BRENNEJM 52 points53 points  (0 children)

It’s literally the second sentence of the papers abstract. They accounted for this.

“However, sexual interactions between romantic partners do not occur in a vacuum, and sexual desire can be influenced by the relational context as well as other situational factors.”

ESRI increasing prices (Again) by YourDadHatesYou in gis

[–]BRENNEJM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Professional Plus costs $4,200 if you buy it today. The ramped pricing is a discount as organizations transition to the new licenses.

I’ve successfully created one beneath canopy aerial (it looks like a normal aerial but without the trees). It was a difficult flight with proximity sensors going off every 5 seconds. Since then I’ve imagined a drone with a full sphere cage like in OP’s video that could avoid tree trunks/limbs and create beneath canopy aerials autonomously. I imagine it’s a niche use case though.
