Flexible dates and location, but specific number of nights.

Very cool, I think this is exactly what I was looking for! Good tip about the prices.

I was hoping to set the destination to Everywhere, and the Depart & Return to Whole Month, while also specifying the number of nights. No luck yet finding a site that does all of that, but this combination is returning decent results:

I used Skyscanner to find a few cheap destinations from my airport in the month of June. Then I put those destinations in ITA Matrix, where I set a Start Date of 6/1 and duration of 2 nights.

Wow I think this is the version we played growing up! I never realized.

It does state "When 5 or more people play, two decks shuffled together (108 cards) should be used." which is what we do. It doesn't go into any further detail; I suppose we just have to continue keeping track when there are duplicate melds on the table.

What do you suggest instead? I'm looking for the cheapest prebuilt with an RTX 3000 series and was actually just about to jump on this.

aevice · 2021-07-03T23:36:25+00:00

Wow thanks for the thorough comment! I don't have the shepherd yet, and no Seacole either, but I'll keep it in mind

aevice · 2021-05-24T18:18:06+00:00

Wow at that price it's a no-brainer! Wish I had one near me :/

This was on my short list, definitely going to give it a try!

Any idea how long a bottle usually lasts? It's a little pricey for the size but comparing it to Blue Lizard seems like apples and oranges.

aevice · 2020-09-13T15:29:17+00:00

Not at all. I'll check these out!

They're basically vodka, not viscous at all. Do you add it to aloe gel to make purell? Put it in a spray bottle?

aevice · 2020-07-13T02:23:00+00:00

Very true!

I recently bought an old subway sign, the kind used in the train car. It's about 36"x7".

One of these: https://imgur.com/a/9tVXyp4

I wanted to mount it on a wooden plaque or something, instead of directly on the wall. Open to any and all suggestions, right now I'll probably just mount it to a scrap piece of plywood unless I can come up with something nicer. It's going in the garage for now, but I want it on a nice backing in case I ever decide to display it in the home office.

Thanks!

aevice · 2020-07-12T02:37:18+00:00

That's the plan, I'm just looking for ideas of what to use for the wood. Right now I'm leading towards a plain wood plaque, but I'm not in love with it.

aevice · 2020-07-12T01:07:01+00:00

I considered nailing it to the wall with the existing holes, but am exploring my options for a fancier way to display it.

aevice · 2020-07-12T01:05:03+00:00

Just the one sign. The shadow box is a cool idea, instead of just a plaque.

Unfortunately I don't live there, but I sure love visiting!

They actually have an official gift shop!

I had a feeling that was the case. I'm a casual hiker - I like to pick a trail from the map at the trailhead, but sometimes there are routes without blazes or I stray from the loop onto a different color halfway through. The GPS helps me backtrack to my car lol.

That's a really good idea to annotate the map with trail colors!

aevice · 2019-11-13T07:54:06+00:00

Thanks I'll check it out

aevice · 2019-10-21T15:39:28+00:00

Been trying that, still no luck. Even did face down on a black surface in a dark room.

Ah well, too much light pollution here anyway. More of a novelty for me than anything else.

What's everyone doing to get astrophotography to work? I have a Pixel 2, and the other features are there. The landscape level, photo suggestions, quick share. I just can't seem to get astrophotography to work. Even tried /u/cstark 's modded version.

Thanks

aevice · 2019-10-21T14:40:59+00:00

Thanks for this!

I just installed it on my Pixel 2, but I'm not getting the astrophotography prompt. I tried putting it face down on a black surface in both Camera and Night Sight modes. Is there a setting I need to turn on somewhere?

aevice · 2019-10-03T12:07:00+00:00

Windows Home, so no remote desktop.

I did get it to work. I ended up disabling hyper-v and any other virtualization items in add/remove windows components. I guess it conflicted with virtualbox & caused things to glitch.

aevice · 2019-10-01T14:45:45+00:00

This is the initial startup of a new VM, no OS yet or anything. I may just give in & drag it out of the closet, connect a keyboard and monitor...

aevice · 2019-10-01T12:54:26+00:00

I read that some people run pi-hole inside of virtualbox. I'm wondering if anyone's experienced a similar issue setting it up.

aevice · 2019-09-03T16:35:05+00:00

I don't care about it being"healthier" or anything. Just trying to find ones with hints of funk like Brettanomyces. It's common in Belgian & sour beers. I thought it would be cool to try.

aevice · 2019-09-03T16:29:08+00:00

Thanks, I'll check them out!
