I keep looking for good deals on a R1T, CT, or Lightning in the used market. To be fair they’ve dipped but not enough to make an amazing deal.

On my iPhone I end up using a screenshot to select text via OCR and copy it from there. It’s frustrating when apps like Facebook won’t let you copy and paste stuff into Google Maps from a birthday invite.

Are there any labs in the US that a regular joe could use to get their water tested? I’ve got quite a few properties with natural springs and I can send the water to get tested for bacteria and mineral content but I don’t know of anywhere t

Solar energy has become a significant topic in my rural Virginia county, where I serve on the Board of Supervisors. During our discussions, the issue of food production has come up a lot. While I understand people’s concerns about maintaini

I noticed something similar with images as inputs to Claude, you can scale down the images and still get good outputs. There is an accuracy drop off at a certain point but the token savings are worth doing a little tuning there.

I’m so glad to see this game getting some love. It’s been a constant for me ever since I found it at Dollar General when I was a kid.

If anyone from Starlink or SpaceX is reading these comments here’s what you want to do: Sell your own branded trail cam with solar charging and LTE from orbit. You can charge $25-$40 a month for unlimited pictures sent from the cam. This wo

How does one get started with robotics? What's a good onboarding project?

Are there any good blogs, communities, or Discords to get more into robotics? Specifically outdoor applications?

Love this! I'd love to take the underlying data combine it with data like average income for a county and see which counties had the most affordable Taco Bell.

The roughest thing that Ballad has done is take the brand new NICU from Holston Valley in Kingsport that was opened in 2016 [1], shut it down and move it 30-45 minutes further away to Johnson City in 2019 [2]. Granted we know drive times ar

It hit this area hard. I’m from neighboring Scott County and I left in 2015 to pursue a job in a larger market. When I brought my family back in 2021 we shocked to see just how much the opioid crisis had hollowed out the community. Whatever

You'd be surprised! I'm a politician in a rural county in the USA and Cell Phone coverage is one thing that people complain about the most. Probably only 30-40% of the county has good signal strength. I'm really excited about

I think an equally interesting point might be why Daffodils tend to outline the foundation of where a house used to be. Yes of course because people planted them there but then you'd expect wild animals to eat and carry the seeds away.

Probably not very many. Fun anecdote: When the Google Glass first came out I wanted to use it to record procedures so that we could create an annotated video dataset of medical procedures to see if we could match outcomes to actions. When I

Either you become their inspiring leader with your zeal to push your self or you become like them. There is no middle ground. So think about what you want and act accordingly. Btw being a leader is way more than having some senior position,

No one ever seems to talk about the fact that RSUs should be treated as bonuses not as real income. It’s nice if they work out but you should never rely on them being worth anything.

Adding to this if voice recognition is just the first part of a process can you eliminate it? Can you show them an example of how to use it based on text? For example “type your command/query” instead of speaking it.

Here in Southwestern VA I’ve seen an interesting trend: people are buying yard barns. Sometimes very large yard barns and are converting them into living quarters. These are folks that don’t have a ton of access to capital or financing but

Hey we should talk! The county I live in has pretty good fiber with a population under 20k. I’ve been tossing around the idea of creating a curated list of properties for sale here. There isn’t a tech community here yet but the property pri

I'm from a rural area in the mountains of Appalachia, grew up on a farm, and I just recently moved back with a remote job. I have seen at least 4 families move in from places like Florida, Pacific Northwest, and Pennsylvania, to try an

I'd say gearing in the transmission is the biggest factor. Newer cars have more gears, more gears and better shifting mean that your engine gets to work at max efficiency more of the time.

If you or anyone else has the time I'd love to talk about what in your opinion makes a great co-working space. Looking into setting up one in the rural region I'm in.

The thing I learned from our first child is that she’s going to be fine, she’s her own person, and she will be who she’ll be when she’s ready. My job as a parent isn’t to make sure she’s on track/time, my job is to help her be the best

It's all about what you value. Do you value living more financially sustainable or do you value being closer to entertainment, people your age, and outlook on life? Not saying either is right or wrong but it's a choice. My wife an

I just experienced the same thing! It was so frustrating to see that no one was looking over the documents. Finally I took a day off and sat on the phone with them all day to figure it out. It was a worse process that dealing with an actual
