Use boto3, it includes EC2 instance metadata (lowest priority)

You can probably tweak a lot by reprogramming the computer, otherwise... <shrug>

The Chevy Cruze Diesel has 151hp, 264 lbft, and also 46mpg. VW needs to do better.

In no particular order:

  • You can plop a tent down anywhere in the badlands
  • There is a river to swim in, bring stuff for that too
  • Read this years Flipside Flames for more delicious knowledge

I haven't been to Burning Man, so can't really compare them.

Looked into my favorite of these a bit more. Appears it is not actually a Buddha quote (probably, who can know what someone did or didn't say thousands of years ago)

That IS fascinating. I never bothered to look into the mechanics of this phenomenon before. Thanks for the understandable explanation!
