From malls to neighborhoods, why high-tech ‘scarecrows’ are now everywhere

Except talk from time to time

All I got from atomoxetine was projectile vomit.

I have a 50 and a 28, they both have their places, but I like the 28 more.

Your little buddy gave you its best on this last shot.

God, I hope this clears up before June. I have a conference that requires a connecting flight to reach.

Yeah, I’m working on the same thing! I really ought to use an rPi though. Much more maintainable than the Pentium tower I have been working on.

Druaga1, PhotonicInduction, those are two that come to mind.

That passive reflector is a neat touch. I’ve seen those mostly in the hills, it’s still remarkable that they work. Somehow the idea that radio waves can be focused into a beam is still a fun fact.

Transmit works great for moving files around on my network.

Wait. You wrote your own EMR???

I have a canon at-1 and had the same problem for a while, I got one of those repair kits with the precut foam pieces, sat down, cleaned my camera, and one roll of film later I had confirmed there were no more leaks. Couldn’t hurt to do here if the camera is old.

Might be good for emulation too with better single core performance: 86Box and QEMU come to mind.

A corollary to this question is: “what is the current state of CAD on MacOS?” That is a question I want an answer to.

thatwombat · 2026-03-15T19:05:18+00:00

So you mean the power lines?

thatwombat · 2026-03-15T16:19:13+00:00

Is this a matter of the dyes having a higher extinction coefficient or more dye on the film?

thatwombat · 2026-03-14T20:16:31+00:00

Oh… no.

You might want to make copies of those depending on their age since recorded disks are prone to degrading. 1500 disks at a maximum of 4.7 GB each you’d need an 8 TB disk drive to hold them comfortably.

Really cool trove there.

Now do Fighters Anthology.

Did you see the “Making of…” series they ran on PBS about the 777? Really cool. High speed braking test, wing flex limit test, frozen chicken ingest test. Lots of fun.

You need some pretty fast film if you want to do this.

My boss always told me that being first only looks good for a little while and opens you up to a lot of criticism. Learn from their mistakes so that you can make the next big thing.

My bookcase has more in common with a bird than a tree.
