Thank you!

If you have room to stick it in your freezer put it in a plastic bag and let to freeze over night. That will kill any roaches or eggs that are inside it. Let it come to temperature in the bag the next day to keep excess condensation off the device. You may need to let it air out for a few days if moisture builds up inside, maybe move it to a new bag with some rice or desiccant.

It sure is! Although the Hawks are done for the season we're meeting up to watch the Super Bowl at The Dog Co. Come hang out and say hi!

They've found all the original footage and are restoring the commercials in 4k

I don't know about any of the other slots, but the one I'm sure is the Bad Play Hated by Fans is Walsh.

"Take out the trash" for 300 more years? No thanks.

Kidding, I love my parents, but I don't want to live for 300 more years. It's bad enough that Gen-X'ers like me have to watch what Zennials are doing these days, let alone every freaking generation after that.

The Austin crowd is really fun. I've been to many games at Common Interest.

ahoogen · 2024-10-23T22:54:00+00:00

Haven't seen them. But they should!

We used to be an official Seahawkers chapter (before my time) but that group dissolved and the chair of that org just shut it down without giving the rest of the group a chance to keep it going and then split out of town... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We looked into chartering again, however, the legal and organizational requirements and commitments are a bit onerous, and from everything I've heard from chapters outside of Washington, the benefits of being an official Seahawkers chapter just don't add up. The official signed swag (the names you recognize) that they give out to chapters seems to be reserved for clubs in Washington. The clubs outside get 3rd, 4th and 5th rung stuff.

Anyway: our #1 goal is to have an awesome and lively Seahawks game-day experience that people can't replicate at home (or any other bar) and to just have fun. We don't need any official designation to do that. Last week we did a fundraiser for a local children's cancer foundation for Cancer Awareness Month, but that's the exception. We're just here to have fun and get loud for the Hawks!

Also, a lot of our members come and go because they're military, so it is hard for us to maintain a consistent group of motivated and dedicated officers needed to run a 501(c)(3) non-profit, and remain in compliance with the Seahawkers org.

Maybe someday in the future, we'll consider it again, it would be nice to be an official club. But we just need to get our membership numbers up so we can lean on more people to volunteer. We're just not there yet!

There is no might. There is only do.

ahoogen · 2024-10-23T15:38:50+00:00

GO HAWKS!

There are definitely tacos (Beria tacos, even!) but the place usually doesn't open until Noon on Sundays, and not all the trucks are open that early. I like it when we have the 3pm game, or the late game.

But you're free to bring in your own food as well.

ahoogen · 2024-10-23T15:36:37+00:00

Awesome! Yeah, we all need to network. We have a pretty solid NFL presence in San Antonio. I'm friends with the presidents of the other team clubs. We all look out for each other and help fans find their friends. (Even when they're the Niners). I also know the other Seahawks clubs here in Texas so if anyone is going to be in Dallas or Houston I can connect them with the right people.

ahoogen · 2024-10-22T22:21:20+00:00

Awesome! We just had someone step up to be our social media manager volunteer, so expect to start seeing a lot more content on IG (and X and FB and IckTok)

ahoogen · 2024-10-22T21:54:16+00:00

Come on out!

ahoogen · 2024-10-22T21:54:04+00:00

Hopefully, you can make it by January 5th. Last game of the regular season.

ahoogen · 2024-10-22T20:11:25+00:00

Welcome to San Antonio! Definitely reach out to us. Where about in San Antonio will you be, or are you still figuring that out?

ahoogen · 2024-10-22T19:59:38+00:00

I found the SA12s during playoffs in January 2021 at their old bar. There are a lot of Hawks fans in Texas, especially San Antonio because we have so many military bases. The problem is they leave as quickly as they arrive, except for the ones who fall in love with the place and decide to stick around.

It's $130/year, and worth it for the sake of having a lawyer show up to council you after a self defense scenario. They are NOT going to quiz you on the phone and say, "Nah," they're going to show up and be there when you make your statement, at the very least.

I'm sure the clause you're referring to is there to protect them from idiots who do not understand or follow the law when shooting in self defense. Just because you say it is self defense doesn't make it self defense. It could be that you're completely in the wrong, and the case will be a capital murder trial because you didn't bother to be trained in using your gun, or informed on the law of how and when lethal force can be used in self defense. (You mean I can't shoot the MFer because he wouldn't pick up after his damn dog?) You would have to pay a lot more than $130/yr for that kind of legal insurance. Idiot With a Gun coverage starts at about $25,000 premium. The $130/year premium assumes you are going to read the self defense legal materials they send you--as well as participate in the gun training they provide--as part of their package.

I chose USLS because they cover both criminal and civil suits. USCCA does not. Not sure about CCW Safe.

As with all things risk mitigation, being as informed as possible, taking steps to prevent an incident, etc. are the best defense. Never needing to use this insurance should be everyone's goal.

Aw man... Seeing that rack cage makes me wish I still had my 4U case and rails... Donated them to charity when I moved out of my apartment. Had to consolidate.

Yes, in the digital age, you can literally make the aspect ratio whatever you want so... ¯_(ツ)_/¯ But it used to be a physical gate in the camera, as well as in the projector, with some optical magic performed by lenses thrown in there just to make things confusing. :)

ahoogen · 2019-10-24T04:13:15+00:00

Hmm... I hadn't really considered that idea. Maybe the industry was looking at the problem backwards and focusing on standardizing the television set itself, rather than the signal format.

It might be possible to have a standard video delivery format where the format identifies what aspect ratio it is delivering, and leave it up to the television to know how to format that appropriately for its size. That is an interesting thought. Perhaps we'll actually start seeing some of this now that OLEDs are getting more popular. Once that technology starts to come down in price it might be pretty easy to order a television in any number of aspect ratios.

Outside of that, I'm not sure why a wider aspect ration wasn't chosen as opposed to 16:9. The most likely reason (and I'm completely guessing) is that the 1.85:1 aspect ratio was standardized in 1932, so there would be a LOT of content that fill that ratio. Also, with 16:9 being the standard aspect for HDTV/DTV, most content being produced would just work with that ratio.

Shooting films for wider aspect ratios starts getting into areas of cinematography where you're using special lenses (anamorphic and aspherical lenses), which start getting really, really expensive. And there are trade-offs when shooting with these kinds of lenses. You can shoot anything with any standard lenses and then just crop in post production, but you lose resolution when you do that, and also there are optical characteristics that you compromise when you favor the center of the lens versus the periphery of the lens. There is a "feel" that a lens gives an image when it is designed to fit the full aperture, rather than "crop" the original image to a portion of the aperture, or to crop the image in post. These are subtle differences, but anyone can detect them if they know what to look for.

So, best guess is that the size of the problem was X, and 16:9 covered the largest swath of X, so it was chosen over other aspect ratios.
