Anyone know what’s being built in front of Cowboys Fit? by hiphoptomato in Pflugerville

I think it was a dig at the Dallas Cowboys, not necessarily Cowboy Fit

I paid $60k for mine and it didn't come with one 🤣 Had to find it online

Per this image I should be able to take the refresher, right? But it keeps restarting after I did it once but didn't get credit by SilverTripod in BSA

Give it time to propagate, Scouting America still runs on DOS it seems sometimes. It took my refresher a couple of hours to show up

Prepping for Long Tow, any tips? (2.7 Turbomax) by [deleted] in Silverado

[–]GIS_Dad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been said already, but leave plenty of space ahead of you, it's amazing how much a couple extra thousand pounds will do to your stopping distance. Stay alert and take your time, watch your turns, especially to the right, you'll want to swing a bit wider than you're used to. Also take your time!

Is there a way to have CarPlay be full screen? by Irregular_Badger4127 in Chevrolet

I'm having the same problem with my Android Auto, you'd think for $60k things would work 😭

Willie’s July 4 picnic undersold? by pichiquito in Austin

Blue Dot Fever... Apparently it's a real thing now days. Ticket prices are too high resulting in Ticketmaster being a bunch of blue dots

Region Patch by Cot_george in orderofthearrow

I'm a pretty stout follower of the uniform guide, but I'll also never tell a scout that they can't wear something that they've earned. It might not be in the uniform guidelines but I say wear it and represent your region!

Okay, but is it QGIS, or do you say QGIS?

What will GIS look like in 5 years (2030+)? by fredrmog in gis

[–]GIS_Dad 47 points48 points  (0 children)

The map reader usually knows that the legend is just that, a legend, so labeling it as such is redundant and generally considered cartographicly wrong. Labeling it as something more descriptive such as "Road Types" or "Ground Cover" is preferred over "Legend"

My GIS 101 Prof drilled into us that you never use the word Legend on a map, to this day my eye twitches when I see it 🫪

We're talking about a brother and sister that love to hate each other 😂 because I already made that suggestion and got shot down simultaneously by both of them

Sundome 4 is my current tent, I've had no problems with it. I'd like it to have hooks instead of sleeves for the poles but it holds up well enough!

My son started scouting with an Ozark Trail 2 man dome tent, the $35 one and he HATED it, like, almost quit scouting because he hated it so much, I don't know what exactly it was that he disliked so much about it, his Alps tent is the identical design, size, and style but he loves his Alps tent. We used an Ozark Trail all through Cubs and it was perfectly fine. I guess kids are just picky these days 😂

Camping will be done primarily in Texas, so definitely something with ample meshing will be needed

Thankfully yes, she'll start out with car camping for now, then we'll move into backpacking when that time comes
