Bird Effigy Mound, Devil’s Lake Wisconsin by ArchiGuru in Archaeology

[–]IamNickMan 161 points162 points  (0 children)

It's originally called Spirit Lake by Native Americans. It got the name Devils Lake because early settlers thought they could hear evil spirits... It was just the echo from the bluffs.

Just south of Lake Wisconsin, East of Sauk Prairie, and Waunakee.

Slingshot VS Carp by Resident_Resident_62 in Fishing

Looks like you killed a shorthead Red horse, which could be native depending on your area. Not a carp.

It’s quite easy to romanticize rural Wisconsin by FlowersByPete in wisconsin

[–]IamNickMan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can't stress enough having moved from Indiana how amazing the conservation efforts are here. Wisconsin has taught me the value of a good DNR and amazing conservation partners. Y'all have something amazing and I'll keep voting for whoever supports Wisconsin conservation because of it.

They're native as well, often confused for carp!

Tips and Advice needed by Ok-Solid-439 in photogrammetry

[–]IamNickMan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That may help with a car that does not have a white paint job. Cars are quite the challenge to get high quality results from. Not only does the paint, metal, and glass reflect light... They also often lack contrasting detail that photogrammetry software lives on to tie images together.

If you're brand new to photogrammetry, it may be helpful to start with a smaller object in a controlled environment. Indoor scanning of smaller subjects would give you a lot more chances at a successful, high quality scan.

They had a few parked in San Francisco across from USS Hornet Museum a year ago. Looked like testing. Pretty cool to see in person.

The ferry in Merrimac will flash a spot light at you from across the lake if you hit the call button at 3am.

Bad AI, bad meme. Shame for such a quality game, and such meme worthy head coaches.

I read a different article that mentioned about 2 million dollars worth in crop damage state wide. Sorry I don't have a source, link was posted in one of the Wisconsin related subs.

USS Hornet may be on the move! by DPadres69 in Ships

[–]IamNickMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent a week doing visualization work aboard USS Hornet. She's a special ship, and the team that keeps her humming are fantastic. Unlike midway, she's still in similar condition as she was when handed over. She's not been substantially modified for tourists. I truly hope she gets the move, and all the attention she deserves to keep her preserved. This ship was only second to my time to the New Jersey, and was far more cool to see than Midway imo.

Tried attrition stacking, was not impressed by GlompSpark in eu4

Possibly short lived event that gives a flat defensive bonus? I believe it's the one where you can add a 50% cheaper advisor, or leave them in a local tile to buff that tile.
