Some GPSs can be set for "No U Turn".
Couldn't possibly give up "U-turn". That's my most common command.

I was digging around in some old stuff and found these. I assume they are good. There are two of them and if any one can use them I will send them for postage. If not, any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
Can you beat this? To show my students how far we've come, I show them a 256 BYTE RAM compared with a 32 GB micro chip.

I have to think Amazon Prime Day is a scam. I'll tell you why. This Sunday I ordered a percussion massager for $48. I went to check the order status this morning and the exact item was listed for $56 on sale today for Prime Day. I guess it's buyer beware on Amazon Prime Day. It makes me rethink my image of Amazon.
Prime Day didn't start until Monday.

Outstanding BIF shot, Bill, except it's a tricolored black bird. White shoulder patch border instead of a yellow one.

Anybody know how you focus the camera lens before using the shutter?
Thanks.
Thanks.
For focusing, there is a scale (in feet and meters) to the right side of at the track for adjusting distance. To confirm the focus, remove the back and tape a piece of ground glass (rough side facing lens) or wax paper where the film would be, open the shutter with BULB setting, measure the distance to a prominent object and then set focus to that distance. Using a magnifying glass, check the focus on the ground glass or wax paper. Check again on the infinity setting.I think on the camera shown the distance scale is moveable to adjust calibration if necessary.

After I've been on the computer a couple of hours ... (show quote)
My eyes are 20/20 after cataract surgery but I can't focus on anything closer than 5 feet. I had to get Computer Glasses, that is, glasses that focus about 20 inches, the distance from my eyes to the computer screen. (Reading glasses focus about 12-14 inches, normal reading distance, that wouldn't help you.) Ask your optometrist.

Masks don't work. It's the one true thing that Fauci said, and that was over a year ago.
Prove me wrong.
Prove me wrong.
That was a year ago, when we didn't know the newly discovered Covid virus was transmitted by the airborne route. Now the data are irrefutable: masks work. That's the thing about science, it is constantly self correcting.

Marks like that along the shoulder of highways are used by helicopter cops to determine the speed of cars. All it takes is a stopwatch to catch a speeder.

That is not what exotic means. It has nothing to do with with rich and powerful people. It refers to unusual non-domesticated animals sold as food--like bats, snakes, "trash" fish, etc.
The video on U-Tube cited above claims that the Chinese population that consumes wildlife are the rich and powerful The vast majority cannot afford it.

Their other places in Orange County are remaining open. It's just the Huntington Beach spot.

Longshadow. That all makes sense, but why would those things be needed in an apartment complex. This is not something put up by somebody who lives here and is interested in the weather. Thoughts?
You kidding? We weather freaks love to collect our own weather data, make our own weather predictions and compare it all with the feds'. Been doing it for over 60 years.

Outstanding. Even if chess isn't your thing.
