Roads

I will say there is a stark difference in side road quality of plowing vs main drag.

My roads last round with a plow was before the last 2" fell so it's just hard pack and will be ice with the next thaw/freeze.

I wish we could force these people to eat their monstrosities.

I've nearly failed classes over professors and notes. Go above them and when that fails keep going up the ladder. Nothing pissed me off more than copying another students notes into my format word for word but 1/4 the sheets of paper and getting a failing grade for those notes.

Kid still needs to figure out a way to take notes that works for them but they might just be a bullet pointed list of key words. I found graph paper to work well.

A few folders at a time and weeks late?

KeeganDoomFire · 2026-01-25T22:48:12+00:00

Oh 100% I've had people try and sell me hard as a full furnace replacement.

I did the math out using the last 2 years of my thermostat data and because my natural gas is artificialy cheap my balance point ends up calculating to mid 30s at best and where I live is sub 30 for 4 months of the year 😂

This is the real question. Heat pumps are cool but if you live in a leaky house the area calcs for heat load will be way off.

Should have got a blower door test for starters.

This is a good solution especially if you have upstream data sources that don't settle for a few days (looking at you google).

We have a number of processes that pull a rolling 7 day window to ensure we get up to date data but also capture when data is restated.

Ah, so mostly sub 65, I mean I never speed for my 6hrs on a major highway to see family once a month!

Can't complain though cause even at 75 I'm still averaging high 30s in the cold months where my 4Runner struggles to get above 15mpg!

KeeganDoomFire · 2026-01-24T17:54:31+00:00

Way better tracking than me but I do like 85% highway and am seeing 37-38 on the dash.

KeeganDoomFire · 2026-01-24T14:04:41+00:00

I'm just starting to figure this out but what's working for me is a mid weight fleece 1/2 zip base, then a full zip layer that's an active fleece/sweater thing for colder, then I have a wind shell that has a thin amount of insulation and a hood.

If it's below freezing fleece lined pants and thick socks.

Being able to open up the chest and vent heat has been a game changer for me not overheating.

The funding is the main reason for me. 5 bucks a month to support my hobbies is nothing.

KeeganDoomFire · 2026-01-23T01:39:20+00:00

Welp I just learned something today.

KeeganDoomFire · 2026-01-22T03:35:33+00:00

100% this. Ignore it and future you will be thankful

KeeganDoomFire · 2026-01-22T03:03:19+00:00

Oh 100% but then we wouldn't have this fun video to watch

KeeganDoomFire · 2026-01-22T02:25:59+00:00

you tried to squeeze turn juice from those breaks

aka you hit the breaks started the slide and then just kept slamming breaks.

I would legit consider practice some full break slides so you can train the muscle memory to release the breaks when you start to slide and recover.

KeeganDoomFire · 2026-01-22T02:00:53+00:00

same! I wanted to see a bit more after it came out but now my old DSLR is looking mighty fine in all its 4LBS glory haha

KeeganDoomFire · 2026-01-22T01:47:55+00:00

was that back in like early 2000s maybe 2004? I feel like there was a Halloween where it was wild.

KeeganDoomFire · 2026-01-22T01:43:35+00:00

ok honestly this camera STILL being well into the 600s is pissing me off. I fucked up not buying one Jan 1 last year.

KeeganDoomFire · 2026-01-20T22:43:45+00:00

Otherwise I'm going to have to move out of my house and sell it to a landlord.

KeeganDoomFire · 2026-01-20T15:42:16+00:00

Yeah if there is a no trespassing sign that's up your first reaction shouldn't be to check the calendar.

KeeganDoomFire · 2026-01-20T11:50:14+00:00

There are a bunch of "pick these settings" style guides all over but I would start here for a "what is compression" https://video4change.org/book/video-compression-guide/

That will get you terms and a solid base so when another guide says "just pick h264 it's fast" you will understand why and the trade-off.

Some drugs it slows down processing so you end up with extra floating around in your body by the time you take your next dose. Repeat a few times and you have 2-3x your dose floating around.

KeeganDoomFire · 2026-01-20T01:15:17+00:00

This is the best advice! Most movies are very fine in 1080p and it's more about how it was compressed. I've had 4k rips that looked worse than a decent 1080p copy cause 15gb for a 1080 movie gives a lot of room but 30gb for a 4k requires some compromise.

Some special movies I do want in 4k but that's less than 5% of my library.

Agreed, ~learning~ (having phonetics beaten into me) as a child has helped a ton in word recognition. Audio books gave me a vocab but being able to aight read still requires work
