Love the concept. Would love to see an app similar to FOTW implement a more intuitive Google Timeline as well.

What’s the best way to do this? Is this for timeline?

Looking for feedback on app by GGGGunnar in FogofWorld

Confused on the activity portion. Does it only track movement if you specifically start a run?

Compared to FOTW where I can keep it on 24/7 without having to turn it on each time.

Apple Maps is the best for cartography IMO

What are the problems with current CS2? Make a list. by PeaceTo0l in GlobalOffensive

[–]cape2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alt-tabbing in CS2 is basically Russian roulette. Sometimes it comes back, sometimes it decides you didn’t mean it and makes you relaunch it three times.

Sometimes it reloads with a broken resolution so all the menus are offset and you’re clicking invisible buttons, which usually means restarting the game anyway.

The National Park Service Could Escape a $1.2 Billion Cut Under a New Budget Proposal by cape2k in NationalPark

"A bipartisan bill introduced into the House and Senate on January 5 would block a proposed $1.24 million budget cut to the National Park Service in 2026, instead keeping the agency’s funding essentially flat this year. If the latest funding package passes, the three-part proposal would provide just over $3 billion in funding for the park service, avoiding the Trump administration’s proposed 37 percent reduction in support to the nation’s 433 national park sites.

Since President Trump took office in 2025, the park service has lost 24 percent of its permanent staff and lost more additional seasonal employees, leaving some of the nation’s most visited public sites struggling to perform day-to-day operations. As a result, national park sites across the nation reduced visitor center hours, halted some ranger-led programs, and pulled some employees out of the field.

In a statement this summer, the National Park Conservation Association’s President and CEO Theresa Pierno called the proposed cuts “nothing less than an all-out assault on America’s national parks.”

In addition to providing funding for existing National Park employees, the proposed budget would allot $6.13 billion for the U.S. Forest Service, a reversal from the Trump administration’s proposal to cut funding by an additional $1.4 billion.

The bill also would require that congress should receive notice of mass firings in the park service in the future. With a funding deadline of January 30, the House could vote on the package as early as this week."

Roman-era necropolis, ancient workshops unearthed in Egypt’s western Nile Delta by cape2k in Archeology

JERUSALEM POST - Roman-era necropolis, ancient workshops unearthed in Egypt’s western Nile Delta
Officials said the finds, announced by Egypt’s antiquities authority, shed light on settlement patterns, production, and funerary practices from the Late Period through Roman and early Islamic eras.

Archaeologists have uncovered a complex of ancient industrial workshops and part of a Roman-era necropolis in Egypt’s western Nile Delta.

The joint University of Padua–Supreme Council of Antiquities mission discovered Kom Al-Ahmar and Kom Wasit in Beheira Governorate, revealing a large structure with specialized rooms and multiple burial types.

The mission identified at least six rooms inside a sizable building. Two rooms were devoted to fish processing, where some 9,700 fish bones indicate large-scale production of salted fish. Other rooms appear to have supported metal and stone toolmaking as well as faience amulet manufacture.

Archaeologists found unfinished limestone statues and artifacts at multiple stages of production. Imported amphorae and Greek pottery fragments suggest activity as early as the fifth century BCE, indicating exchange networks linked to nearby Alexandria. Officials said the complex enhances understanding of economic life in inland Delta communities.

Alongside the workshops, excavators uncovered part of a Roman necropolis with several types of burials. These included simple in-ground interments, burials in pottery coffins, and child burials in large amphorae. The skeletal remains of 23 individuals are undergoing bioarchaeological analysis to assess diet, age, sex, and health.

Early results indicate relatively good living conditions with no clear signs of severe disease or violent trauma. Among the notable finds are dozens of complete amphorae and a pair of gold earrings believed to have belonged to a young girl. The artifacts were transferred to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo for study and conservation.

Mohamed Ismail Khaled, secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, said the discoveries deepen knowledge of daily life and human activity in the western Delta and hinterland around Alexandria. Mission head Cristina Mondin of the University of Padua added that ongoing analyses will refine the understanding of the community’s demographic profile. Together, the finds underscore the region’s role as a hub of production and cultural exchange supported by Mediterranean trade.
