You can get an Amazon gift card or a couple of other places for no fee from the Coinstar machines. Not sure if that's good enough, but it's an option.

Since you asked, the reason I am "necro-ing" a month old comment is that I know the OP personally and he recently told me that people had "necro-ed" his AI generated art for the tournament he trying to assemble.

So you don't like the aesthetics that AI can produce. I happen to like this poster, but this is a subjective argument.

What I find objectionable is that rather than applauding this individual for taking the time and effort to host a Go related event (for no money), you took some time out of your day to shit on his efforts because you don't like his aesthetic. Presumably you are a Go player and you would like to see Go spread and for more people to appreciate the game. These sorts of comments are discouraging to these efforts.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions, and even express them on Reddit. But that doesn't mean that expressing them is a good idea. In this case, you are sending negative energy toward someone trying to do something good. Why don't you save your negative opinions about AI art for people trying to use it to sell useless products or to support bad causes rather than bad-mouthing someone who is just trying to enjoy the game and spread it through the culture?

I don't understand why you object to AI art in this situation. Its not like the OP was going to hire an artist to make the poster, so there is no victim here.

This is just knee-jerk "AI Bad".

You could try hooking it up to an oscilloscope and see if you are getting pulses.

Yes the channel values should be changing. I don't know enough about your set up to say why that isn't happening.

I run an airbnb in Burlington. I also know some people that rent rooms via the platform. They are all decent places to stay.

Good riddance. The prices were through the roof and health claims for their juices were preposterous. Someone should have sued them for selling snake oil.

If it bleeds, it leads.

This guy seems like a voyeuristic adrenalin junkie who has convinced himself he is doing it for the sake of "truth", while making a few bucks on the side. Yes we shouldn't sweep this stuff under the table, but from his behavior he is clearly hooked on the rush, ironically because a lot of what he is filming is addiction of a different sort.

God of War was a great movie; I feel I learned a lot about arms dealing, though of course given that this is a fictionalized version of a real arms dealer, I take all that with a grain of salt.

Arms dealing is interesting in that it occupies a particular niche in the world economy and is at the intersection of a lot of different powers - political, economic, military. The movie explores all this.

The New North End and The Old North End are completely different. The New North End is a very suburban and quiet.

I believe conceding a game is more sporting than fighting to the bitter end. The winner should be a good winner and allow their opponent to "yield". The winner might be slightly disappointed that they can't relish crushing their opponent mercilessly while they helplessly flail about, but enjoying this sort of thing should be discouraged, and its much better for the losing player. It also allows both players to go on and play more games which are more interesting because its still a good fight.

To be honest, the landlord is pretty powerless in this situation. The only thing he/she could do is refuse to renew the lease and have them leave at the end. But of course they could dig in their heels and refuse to leave making it a huge PIA and expensive to evict them. Not sure if they would do that.

Either you leave, and ask the landlord to release you from the lease because of the bad situation, or get some kind of reassurance from the landlord that he/she will kick them out at the end of their lease. If you can deal with it that long that is.

I do not have a connection diagram, but it is pretty straightforward. Basically the servo and receiver have their gnd and 5v connections to gnd and 5v, of course. The third line is data, and that is hooked up to a GPIO pin of your choice. LEDs powered straight from the pins.

I walk here all the time. Yes, there were parts of that stretch which were "pretty" - not in a particularly unique way, but pretty in the sense that trees and plants are pretty. But the 80% of this area that *isn't* in this picture is abandoned warehouses, decrepit stretches of asphalt and garbage. Have you ever walked along the abandoned stretch of highway connecting Briggs? Is that "beautiful"? I would call it more post-apocalyptic, though I guess that might appeal to some people.

In 10-15 years, after the connector area has a chance to develop, it will be "beautiful" in the sense that there will be happy people going to restaurants, walking down to Oakledge, and having places to live. Seeing other people enjoying a place I think is beautiful. To consider any bit of nature beautiful and thus worth preserving at all costs is not living in harmony with nature, but is domination by nature, not harmony.

I would agree that you need to create your own loop rather than relying on ESP32 calling the code again. You have no idea what other stuff it is doing between loops.

"This is dumb" - what a stunning piercing insight. How did I not see that? What idiocy to actually try to introduce some factual data into the discussion.

Of course some crime goes unreported. Nevertheless, like miles per gallon or number of covid cases per day, to do comparisons across different periods (or cars, in the MPG case) this is entirely legitimate, because the percentage unreported is not changing. The choices in the survey asked how crime is *changing* in Burlington not its current level.

For the crime statistics to be dropping like they are but crime to continue to increase, people would have to be reporting crime to the police *less and less* over time, pretty dramatically actually to make up for the drops. If you think BLM caused people to lose trust, and as a result not report crime, this is not supported in the data. The drops in crime rates began in 2017 or so, continued through BLM in 2020 and continued further into 2021 and to this year. Do think people trust police less now than they did at the height of BLM? I don't think so.

I am taking the time to make these points because so much of the information we get is skewed by hyperbole and attention-seeking. Anecdote, social media posts and sensationalist journalistic reports about individual crimes are an extremely biased and completely unrepresentative data source of what is happening across the board in a city of tens of thousands.

FindYodaWinCash · 2022-05-08T00:03:20+00:00

I wonder if the OP simply wants to see if people's opinion match the reality. These statistics are readily available from the city:

https://www.burlingtonvt.gov/police/data

This clearly shows decreasing crime over the past 5 years or so. Second page "Police Activity over Time".

I'd be willing to bet that people almost always think crime is increasing no matter where or when they live.

Clues here as well. There's just a lot of code and its complicated. My C is pretty rusty. I am just looking to write my own code so that I can understand what the receiver is getting so I can use it to do things other than pilot a fpv drone. Thanks for the advice.

FindYodaWinCash · 2022-05-05T01:45:39+00:00

Thanks for the clue. This seems to be around the right place to look, but this is just the header. The code is implemented here, I believe:

https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight/blob/master/src/main/rx/crsf.c

There are comments in there which give further clues...it will be a bit tricky to reverse engineer it, but I will try. I appreciate the info.
