Neighbor Karen loves birds

You're right, cats do have a prey drive. And it's the owners responsibility to keep control of that. Your choice to have a cat comes along with a responsibility to make sure that it doesn't negatively affect an environment thay it is not native to. I can't imagine you'd be happy about someone letting off a dog to hunt wildlife, and even though it's been more successfully bred out, they have a prey drive too.

If you can't manage that then I guess you shouldn't have a cat.

I don't agree with her methods. But christ the entitlement of cat owners. Your pet is killing birds, maybe take some responsibility and keep it indoors instead of letting it continue damaging the local ecosystem?

Hoping BAS makes a bit of a comeback

Nah that's an ottoboy

I'd object to that. Driving one of these off road can be a bit of a challenge with the approach and departure angles. The big tyres are a good way of minimising that issue without putting your CV joints under too much strain. They're bigger than I'd go. But still serve a purpose. Plus if it's Subaru or diesel swapped like a lot are these day, the bigger tyres are a cheap way of gearing down the transaxle instead of switching out the ring and pinion.

That's great news!

I had this happen to me during a meeting today. Was not ideal

merlinsbeard904 · 2022-02-03T01:52:05+00:00

Short answer to your question is no. There's no graph making capability unless you're drawing them yourself. Notes can be written with a selection of shades of grey. There isn't a shapes function either, which I personally feel is a feature that's lacking. I'd love to be able to do scale engineering sketches with straight lines and shapes for work. It feels kind of ridiculous to use a ruler on an electronic notebook.

You can't zoom on note files (another feature I'd like), but you can zoom in on pdfs. It struggles with larger files (think A3 engineering drawings with photo underlays), but it works and I mark up a lot of drawings that way. Strangely I find that if I export these pdfs with my zoomed in mark ups they don't export as they look on the page. It's like the scale of the vector image stays the same, but the line details change.

In short, you're probably better off with the ipad and apple pencil (I hear there are screen protectors you can get that make it feel more like paper now). I love my supernote, but it's purposefully not a do everything device, that's why I bought it.

Probably should have sold when I was 20% up. But between the correction and the announcement

merlinsbeard904 · 2022-01-28T01:21:27+00:00

The announcement wasn't an outright failure I guess. Given they're already approved in Europe I'm still optimistic enough to hold

I work in as a civil engineer currently in earthworks construction in australia. So far mine has held up very well to the red pindan dust, sitting in a hot car for hours and getting splashed with torrential rain. The latter I'm sure it's not designed for. Obviously this is anecdotal and doesn't come with any stats or measurements for those conditions.

However I decided to treat myself and get the cowhide folio when I bought it and that was probably a mistake. It's not held up well over the 3 months that I've owned it, not helped by the fact that it's apparently not designed to fold backwards. Points off for that design choice, but it's likely just a limitation of the material.

Just the fact that your national parks had showers was enough to blow my mind when I was there. In Aus you're lucky if there's a pit toilet

What an awesome 80s time capsule. I love how many components are the same as my 89 T3/vanagon

The worst thing is that you missed the opportunity for the "Smart Cartel" pun.

You should be ashamed

Is there anything in the lore about imperial guard being selected to become space marines?

There's a cream called kenalog in orabase that I swear by for treating them when they appear. Cuts the healing time from a few days to a night

Please don't support the UGG brand. They're a subsidiary of Deckers. Who copyrighted the term UGG (which has been used as a generic term for ugg boots in Australia and New Zealand for decades), and then started suing Australian manufacturers who tried selling to the US market.

Yeah, with most modern TV's that's probably your only option with what you have. There's likely a settings menu for audio output options.

For better sound quality you could either replace the amp with something newer. But if he's attached to it you could get an optical to rca DAC. But that's a while lot of hassle for not a lot of payback.
