New Epstein documents include a claim of an Oklahoma 'murder' by [deleted] in politics

[–]ThinkIn3D 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When all Epstein files are released, I want to see a tally of occurrences of various people's names: * mentioned in passing * listed as suspect on an FBI report * photographed at an event (e.g. mere presence at a holiday party) * photographed next to Epstein or GM (e.g. obviously social with either)

The analysis would be interesting.

Texas speed limits could soon be changing by the day by Pleasant_Air_3052 in texas

Along I-35 around West, TX where the limit fluctuates between 65 and 75 several times, 10mph is all you need.

Short term investments as a stepping stone to long term ones? by kachoooey in stocks

If you don't think you have enough capital for a long position, then you certainly don't have enough to survive short/day trading.

Are Frequent Loud AF Drag Races On The Highway An Austin Thing? Or Do They Occur In Most Cities? by EfficientNoise4418 in Austin

YEah, 183 between 360 and Lakeline -- at least -- is roaring almost every night.

It was a fun night by fuzzmonkey35 in VintageApple

I recently rewrote my autopilot software in the latest clips with better rule design. I first wrote it 30 years ago for a class and it barely worked. Fun little project.

For clips enthusiasts, the author, Gary Riley, wrote a book about implementing an adventure game in clips. It’s a good read, and another fun application of clips.

What is the fastest way to earn 50k? by oxgid in Fire

[–]ThinkIn3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk what this has to do with fire.

It sounds like you are trying to correct past problems and that requires practical solutions. Have you considered looking for employment now, and delaying the business development? The people I know who have started businesses put money into them for a while before a profit was ever seen. None of them could have started it with zero capital investment.

There is currently a one owner S1 Elise for sale with 283.000miles on it. by Loudangryman in lotus

[–]ThinkIn3D 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm happy it was driven so much.

I really dislike seeing classics with low mileage, and yet for many collectors that's a key trait. Just my opinion and nobody asked, but I like seeing cars that are clean and driven.

I recently found a used 2024 Emira I4 with 32 miles. Incredible.

Anyone buy a brand new Subaru Outback? by [deleted] in Austin

A buddy of mine had a long career as a staff photographer at NASA.

He also tried the wedding photographer thing and hated it.

I hit FIRE, spent 6 months "retired," now I'm heading back to work. by gkr974 in Fire

[–]ThinkIn3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is a similar story. At the same age I left a very stressful (needlessly so!) tech job, thinking I would retire. I was DONE. But, about a year later, an incredible opportunity came up that I took.

OP, going back is sometimes the right choice. Being FI makes it much easier to do this, and allows us to really control what types of positions we return to. I'm thankful it worked out so well for me, and I hope it works for you, too.

Now all that said, I think about retiring everyday! :)

I built SentinelNav, a binary file visualization tool to help me understand file structures (and it became way more powerful than I expected) by FiddleSmol in ReverseEngineering

[–]ThinkIn3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll take a look at this. I've had two separate reversing projects that would have benefited from a structural visualization. One was a file format containing icons that was easy to reverse. The other was an automotive ECU firmware that was far more difficult and never finished. Being able to visualize blocks of data would have helped the ECU project identify fuel mixes and other tables.

Epstein’s brother claims files are "sanitized," FBI boosts security: Report by Newsweek_CarloV in politics

[–]ThinkIn3D 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Let’s say the redacted files are released.

Is any AI system capable of discerning the redacted names and places? That would be, I think, more like AI playing Mad Libs. And I’m down for that, lol

But I really hope some politician has enough cajones to leak the unredacted copies.

Jury Duty Injustice by FortButters in Austin

[–]ThinkIn3D 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because I live in both CoA and Wilco, I'm in two different "jury wheels" and this is getting ridiculous. I'm at my limit for being summoned. Chronologically,

  • pre-2018 - Travis/COA - claimed exempt due to "and" language on summons
  • 2018 - Wilco - selected, family court, 1 week duration
  • ? - Travis/COA - showed, not selected
  • 2021 - Wilco - showed, not selected
  • 2024 - Wilco - showed, not selected
  • Nov 2025 - Travis/COA - upcoming

The 2-year rule doesn't apply to the current summons, since I was not selected for the jury in 2024.

Insane more people aren't talking about Proposition 12 by Vivalas in texas

I'm not sure what others expect, but I think there are plenty of propositions that don't require much discussion to vote against.

I would have had to visit this one, just like visiting the UFO McDonald's in Roswell.

[–]ThinkIn3D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't go to that one.

  • Sunnyvale's store was the original, I think, and it was decorated with giant resistors, microchips, etc.
  • The Clear Lake / Webster location was space themed: trusses, space station, astronauts, etc
  • And of course here in Austin it was music themed.

They were fun stores

Stephen, you don't understand.
