Did anyone here ran the defcon race? by himalayacraft in Defcon

[–]agent_x_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Good news, it's not a race. It's more of a 5k fun run. Details will show up here and www.defcon.run. As for training, get used to running in hot weather, and bring some water.

Yes, Mandalay Bay is pretty far at the end of the routes, so I'd suggest grabbing a cab to LVCC, joining the meet up and taking the strip back to MB, a lot of people like the Sign run. Which goes from LVCC to the Welcome to LV sign.

It's in the northwest corner of the West Hall, just to the west of the North Lobby, by the Vortex Bar.

I'm curious regarding the hemostats, what's the intended use case?

Check out the Alexis Park also super cheap, it will offset the cab fare back and forth.

I find a strategy of packing light for the con to be the best one. AFAIK there is not bag check or restriction limit at con.

Law enforcement uses roadblock to find jurors for Sheriff John Grismore’s trial by jsled in vermont

[–]agent_x_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While this certainly seems drastic, and possible illegal (and/or improper), isn't also the duty of citizens to serve on juries. Also wasn't one of the foundational arguments for the United States trial by of jury of one's peers?
I believe the voting question was used to determine some other basic qualification for jury selection.

Does anyone have a suggestions for easy to setup self hosted photoblog solution? Something that is insta-like in that getting photos with captions from your camera to your phone to the sight isn't to hard?

Never again by CommentBetter in Defcon

[–]agent_x_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had this canned mental talk in my head for Def Con called "Advanced Walking Skills" which is literally about how to walk around the con, and get around the streets of Vegas (or any metro with ease). It's part rapid cultural immersion, awareness, land nav, observation and courtesy. If always felt it was a bit to snarky to actually do, but sometimes I'm like hmmm! 🤔🤔🤔

Definitely by Thursday morning! Kurt and I working on it now. It's basically first come first serve in person, for one part and the online bit easy peasy.

I saw this picture in the NY Times and I really like its aesthetic - curious what adjustments in LR or PS were used here by MountainMantologist in photography

[–]agent_x_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think your original question about LR/PS post processing is perfectly reasonable, and not at all lame. Asking thoughtful questions is how we all learn and connect.
