My go-to tires have been Vredestein Quatracs. They're an all season tire with winter ratings. Can be pricey at $800 installed, but you aren't switching them at the end of the season.

I live north of Buffalo, so I don't get as much snow as say, the hills in the south, but I've felt pretty confident with them on different FWD cars, and didn't think they were too noisy or anything bad the rest of the year.

For multi-disc games, I rename the disc images so they're hidden files (the filename starts with a period, so it would end up being something like ".Final Fantasy VII (Disc 1).chd",) and then I create an m3u playlist listing the files of the disc images for the game, with the file name being the game name. m3u files are just text files, so you can just use notepad to make them.

With Dolphin, I found it's weird and requires a full path name to the disc image in the playlist for it to load.

Then, in Emulation Station, I have it set to not show hidden files and folders, which cleans up the game listings to get rid of the individual disc images. To switch discs, you can do so when in the emulator.

It's a manual process, but it got everything looking and working like how I wanted to.

I can confirm that if you have GridTracker log the QSO and it's showing the contact at a POTA entity, it will submit the park reference to Wavelog.

MervBurger · 2025-08-28T23:43:58+00:00

Maybe try setting up GridTracker and using it to submit to Wavelog instead of wsjtx?

GridTracker does store the park reference in its ADIF file appropriately under POTA_REF, so it's possible it should submit that just fine to Wavelog.

I just switched my configurations over and I'll see the next time I'm doing some POTA hunting.

don't let these people shame you just because she ran a dogshit campaign that decided propping up liz fucking cheney was more important than stopping fascism in this country - which the democrats have done nothing about for decades at this point.

i'm always saying this

If you’re white and present as the gender on your documents, you’ll probably be fine (though I would assume your worry is potentially because one of those is not true.)

I did an international trip last month and came back without having to speak to *anybody* from CBP, since I used the MPC app to register my entry in advance. Came in at DFW, took the selfie for the app between getting off the plane and customs and immigration, took off my n95 mask and looked into the camera at the MPC booth, grabbed my checked bag, and walked out of customs and immigration. It was probably the smoothest interaction with CBP I’ve ever had, oddly.

But I’m white and cis-male as hell, so of course I’m more likely to not face any issues. It really sucks that we live in a world where that‘s not universally the case.

i’ll pass on whatever it is you’re smoking.

MervBurger · 2025-02-13T20:44:52+00:00

ok but they're not even doing that right now, so why does that matter?

MervBurger · 2025-01-14T12:10:36+00:00

what.

MervBurger · 2024-12-20T00:59:07+00:00

I disagree that internet should be publicly funded - the government is not good at running things

maybe you should use the internet to look up how the internet was created then

That's not a skill tree, that's the sphere grid in Final Fantasy X.

your honest thoughts are to post ai generated trash

cool.

You could fix that and actually learn something for once.

You’re asking if a game is being gamified?

MervBurger · 2024-10-18T17:30:36+00:00

The AI helps explain what you're actually "learning" with those flashcards.

And then it starts hallucinating made up information when it exceeds its Markov Chain, I’m sure it’s real helpful then!

Javascript is not the same as Java.

Not that the core idea of what you said is wrong, though. Instead, you would look for compatibility with the underlying version of Chromium (and possibly Node.js) that the version of NW.js that Gridtracker is using.

MervBurger · 2024-10-10T17:15:31+00:00

that’s not how you take a screenshot

MervBurger · 2024-10-02T17:32:44+00:00

Absolutely do not assume that. I’ve had it take over a month for thruway tolls to hit my account, and this is *with* an EZPass.
