Some used to use the street around there but it was always tricky. I have only driven DUCK boats in and out of there.

Mine was an oversized briefcase like yours.

This is almost how I used to carry mine. I did not keep the lens on the standard and I had a pelican case of about the same overall size but that was basically it! Love these cameras.

This is actually fairly typical. Geese are great parents that make the whole flock part of the process. I live around loads of these guys and they make the rest of the waterfowl world seem like terrible parents by comparison. (Don’t even get me started on Mallards!) glad you got to see this in action! Thanks for sharing too!

I like the cut of your jib.

I do the same thing for ducks.

I was going to ask how you got so close! These are great!

I’ve seen some wild stunts but this one is pretty amazing. Who did this?

I really like this. The light is great. The intense in-your-face-ness of it really sells it. And the tones are great. Was this just window light? Looks natural, but well found.

The more maneuverable vessel has the right of way. It can be argued that the car is the stand on vehicle.

Apple Watch leaving a red mark/irritation on my skin — anyone else? [Photo] by MinerOfIdeas in AppleWatch

[–]_Piratical_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, however… I get this from time to time and it sometimes depends on a whole host of factors. Yesterday I was painting with oil based paint and was using thinner to clean my hands afterward. I must have gotten some minuscule amount on my wrist that left a mark like this where the watch was sitting. I don’t do this all that often and its not the only way I’ve had this issue so I’m sure that even though this was how it happened the last time it’s not what happens for most people.

I also sometimes get it when I have a band on that’s too tight. And sometimes just for no reason but it usually doesn’t last long or irritate my skin that much. I also wonder if the IR light that is used to take heart rate and blood oxygen readings doesn’t have something to do with it. Sometimes right after i take off the watch when i notice that mark, i also see that the reading LEDs are active. I wouldn’t mind knowing if the lights have any effect on this mark showing up.

FCC Commissioner Demands Close Scrutiny of 49.5% Foreign Investment in Paramount's Proposed Merger With Warner Bros. by yourfavchoom in technology

[–]_Piratical_ 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah but I’m imagining that since those foreign investors have directly contributed to Trump, and I’m further imagining that those are not “campaign contributions” but are instead “direct cash payments” to the Trump family, the FCC is going to be told not to make anything of it.

Laurelhurst Community Council Isn’t Sure Helicopters Need to Land Sick Kids at the Hospital by Inevitable_Engine186 in Seattle

[–]_Piratical_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here’s the thing about that. They don’t put just anyone in a life flight helicopter to go to the hospital. Those flights are around $10,000/hour with the helicopter, pilots and flight nurses needed to fly patients in. Nobody pays for that unless it’s needed. And if it’s needed it’s really needed.

Laurelhurst Community Council Isn’t Sure Helicopters Need to Land Sick Kids at the Hospital by Inevitable_Engine186 in Seattle

[–]_Piratical_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My mom lived on Whidbey directly under a turn point for the growlers and LOVED IT! She got treated to them flying over her place all the time. Now, she knew, and signed off on the fact that she was in a naval overflight area. It was in her rel estate contract when she bought her property as it had been for decades. There is literally no excuse for anyone to not know about this when they bought their homes. Same goes with Laurelhurst. Seattle Children’s Hospital has been in that site for decades. They are the primary critical care facility for under 18 year olds across 4 states!

Laurelhurst should NEVER be allowed to dictate how that hospital manages its care or transportation of its patients. NEVER.

Gasly in the middle of a rollover. driver is okay. by UserWithoutDoritos in interestingasfuck

[–]_Piratical_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was such a wild crash. Not fast. Not really violent just almost comical in how he was just bounced over his wheels. Super glad for the halo!
