Wolf Creek Pass / Pagosa Springs, CO.

My old man was a fan of C.W. McCall, so grew up with his song about it. Randomly had a friend’s family invite me with them to a ski trip there in college. Slopes were solid (my ski experience is very limited, but my amateur ass liked them), and the hot springs were great. First time I ever saw a couple unabashedly and openly smoking a joint in public (this was before state said pot was legal).

Article postulates that we’re under-reporting, in case anyone doesn’t want to read the article.

Wow, wasn’t expecting a reasonable and emotionally grounded response as one of the top comments.

Keep up the good work my dude.

So I make cold brew in large batches (week supply at a time). I’ve struggled to find a burr grinder that can get me a consistent coarse grind in large enough quantity.

Do y’all have a recommendation for one that can help with this?

Yeah, but isn’t net zero the huge milestone that’s actually accomplishable in “our lifetime”*?

*on some self reflection and as a millennial, very net negative emissions feels accomplishable in my lifetime, so I suppose when I’m saying “our lifetime” I mean before the Boomers/Gen X die off.

Yeah and at least they’re creator had a cool story.

Me too. That’s comparable to my dad’s old 4 cylinder Toyota Pickup (mid-80’s, so similar era). Smaller engine and wayyyy less power so I would’ve expected the pickup to get worse than the Delorean.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I’d love to take that as a project vehicle.

Batteries for home setup (on TOU plan, so it’d be nice to charge when rates are low and discharge when high).
Then slap an combustion engine in there that just acts as a power plant for the electric motors. It’d probably be biting off more than I can chew, but it sounds like a hell of a learning opportunity and tickles my engineering/tinker brain’s fancy.

Of course, after blowing something up, I’d probably focus on dissecting the drive train and using them motors for something else. I’m suddenly curious what the suspension set up is like. If they’ve got some crazy high tech mag-ride system, I’ll bet that could be repurposed for another vehicle (pending Tesla proprietary protocols for connecting to ECU).

But now I’m rambling. The thoughts of what I could do with those parts though.

Ninjaedit: just took a look as some of the pondering above. I forgot how silly the interiors look, so def wouldn’t bother with attempting it as a project car.

I feel the same way. I find it near miraculous I didn’t fall into the trap that’s being sold to young men these days.

I’m hesitant to share too much of my own story, but it makes me feel real sympathy for the guys being ridiculed for following Tate and such. I know the leaders are garbage, but its hard to not feel attacked when I hear the general internet lashing out at the followers for being ensnared.

I know what its like to be young and dumb, to be told you have so much potential, but then to also feel direction-less and like a loser.

I know the leaders are charlatans that are selling snake oil…but I don’t know what to tell these guys to get them unhooked from that crowd.

Yeah, I’m glad most stopped.

I like to share excerpts from Lemmy with my incredibly right-wing family (hopefully to chip away at their staunch beliefs) and its SOOO much easier to share articles/comments when I don’t need to re-write them to exclude all Drumpf mentions. (Those mentions of course cause the person I’m trying to influence to immediately shut down and not read the rest of what I said)

True, but not much of a shower thought?

Thanks for genuine response. Lol, most who interpret my question that way you did don’t seem interested in a good faith discussion. But ol’ boy is def tripping if he thinks SQL isn’t used in the government.

Big thing I’m intending to pry at is whether there would be a legitimate purpose to have duplicated SSNs in the database (thus showing the First Bro doesn’t understand how SQL works).

Yeah, obviously ol’ boy is tripping if he thinks SQL isn’t used in the government.

had to join to it

I don’t think I get what this means. As you describe it, that reference id sounds comparable to a pointer, and so there should be a quick look up when you need to de-reference it, but that hardly seems like a “dependency knot”?

I feel like this is showing my own ignorance on the back end if databasing. Can you point me to references that explain this better?

Right. Fingers crossed we figure out national IDs before then.

In responding to other comments, I’ve found similar things.

All the same, thanks for the resources!
