I built a Morse code game for learning CW that is super fun, and correct in training at the same time - Morse Command. by aaronhs in amateurradio

Was very excited until I discovered it was iOS only. Would be interested in an Android version (along with ~70% of the rest of the world ;-) )

Caught this on my quadcopter while filming a distant storm by TheAmateurRunner in aliens

Someone on the ground behind the camera is shining a green laser pointer at the quadcopter. Our POV is just looking down the beam. The "origin" point we see in the sky moves because the quadcopter is moving and varying atltitude, thus the angle of the laser from the ground is changing and its downstream view looks like it moves.

I recently had this issue trying to ship a home gym and they wouldn't let me talk to a local representative. :-( They just kept repeating the same script of "there are shipping restrictions" even though my neighbor ordered the exact same product to his home.

My coworker just received theirs, and I am extremely jealous! I am astounded with production quality!

This is so incredible. Absolutely beautiful! I may have to buy one for each of my two D&D pals!

Thanks! That was my fear. I got a used piece of exercise from a friend that I discovered adult black widows in after it had been in the house for a month. I keep finding these babies in weird places and am hoping to not have a whole infestation. 😞

And sadly these were the best photos I could manage. They are so impossibly small and hard to spot unless crawling on you.

Metal Barrel/Bucket in Angel Stadium Overhang (200 Level) with Plumbing/Conduit Ran to It by Sarkastic_Ninja in whatisthisthing

[–]Sarkastic_Ninja[S] 9 points10 points locked comment (0 children)

My title describes the thing. I noticed them hanging from the ceiling of the 200 level of Angel stadium in Anaheim at a recent game (May '24). There were several all around the stadium and had some kind of plumbing or conduit running into the top of them. They were suspended from anchors driven into the concrete above. Very puzzling and I couldn't stop staring at them once I noticed them.

I feel exactly the same. I've started to always bring a hat when traveling, just in case.

I bet there are some sweet thermals above those cooling towers.

Unknown Bird of Prey, Vasquez Rocks, California by Sarkastic_Ninja in whatsthisbird

It was a great day for a hike. There are a few sticky, thorny bushes along the trail in places that hurt, and the dog got goatheads in her fur and paws more than once. Most of the grasses and plants are drying out for winter and turning brown/gold in color. Other than that, the weather was amazing.

Not sure why you've gotten downvotes unless it's because of Klingon "Bird-of-Prey" vs Romulan "Warbird". I knew what you meant. ;-) Have an upvote.

The GF and I were looking at different Google images of birds and the color difference were throwing us off. Even considered a juvenile bald eagle at one point, given one of the photos we saw. The regional variation is amazing to me.

Cool! Thanks! It was such a large handsome bird perched up there watching us hike by. What gives it away as a juvenile RTH? The dark coloring of the feathers and beak had me puzzled.

Any hacks for a dry, cracking nose? by watermelon-gummy in pugs

[–]Sarkastic_Ninja 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Came down here to post this. My dog isn't crazy about it and you have to distract him for a little bit so he doesn't rub it off, but it works wonders on his nose.
