Was thinking about this yesterday while on a milk run, about whether or not I'll continue to wear a mask after we hit peak vaccination and COVID is less of an ever-present worry. There really hasn't been many inconveniences for me and I've enjoyed some of the additional opportunity for...

Seriously. I know the Star Wars / SciFi blood runs deep here. And the second season of the first live action Star Wars series ain't in some kinda sophomore slump - it's gooooooood. Where my Mando fans at?

Hey all, I know there's quite a few current and ex-aircraft mechanics on here, and I'm hoping to gain from your expertise. I'm prototyping a piece of equipment for a buddy of mine. There's two places on the prototype that people might be tempted to lift it by, but doing so, over time will...

There's a large dead branch in a tree over my back yard that has broken off of the tree but is suspended in the branches above. It's a big branch, probably 15' long and it's about 35' up off the ground. I definitely don't want to be under it when it comes down. At best, it'll take out my cable...

So, last year I left California. I brought with me a vehicle that was originally purchased and registered in CA. That vehicle is now registered in NY. I still get mailers from CA DMV asking me to re-register the vehicle in CA. Why? And how do I get them to stop?

I'll premise this by saying that I'm shopping for a new streaming service because Google has finally put a bullet in my heretofore favorite streaming service, Google Play Music, and their followup service, YouTube Music, is garbage. What I'm really looking for is a good music streaming service...

Hey folks, I'd like to update my flying camera gear sometime in the next few months. Right now I'm pretty much split between the Mavic Air and the Mavic Mini. I'm not sure if I need 4k in a flying camera or if I'd be happy with 2.7k. What's really getting me is the price split vs. the video...

I think we've all heard the story over and over again - your online, personal and financial information is valuable. You should be using strong, unique passwords on every site you log into, but with the some-odd 70+ sites we need to check in with on a monthly/yearly basis, that's just not...

I just learned about this through my tireless friends at the EFF, and it's scary as fuck. https://www.ted.com/talks/eva_galperin_what_you_need_to_know_about_stalkerware?fbclid=IwAR25TgfCGEgq1I7ok1a1giPCgnZjy4AZeY5tp6KDJfW5K1cWlHPzPo6ReL0#t-756309

Its a shame that while we have many of the trappings of a future we imagined as kids, we still don't live in the one that looks like the futures he dreamed for us. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syd_Mead

Hey all has anyone taken their Part 107 test? I'd like to do this in the next few months to get my commercial UAS license. All of my googling just leads to a dumptruck of schools offering to help me prepare for the exam, and most of them seem somewhere between predatory and downright shady...

Not sure how many of you all are into watching 250lb combat robots bash themselves to bits, but season 3 of Battlebots premieres tonight after it's move to Discovery. I'm really close friends with one of the teams competing this year, so I definitely have a dog in this fight. gCsfr2vSJeM

Was interested in checking out the Google Pizza thread, but my malwayre software (avast) threw this warning: Not sure what this code actually is, or how malicious it is, but I figure a warning might be in order. Posting this to the sink for higher visibility. Please punt this to the website...

Asking $1000. Will entertain reasonable offers. Need a pit bike? Kart track bike? Lightweight off roader? Buy my bike. I don't have the time for offroad jaunts on this guy anymore and I'd like to reclaim the space in my shop. Fresh oil, tires, fuel, service, etc. Runs strong from the first or...

This was pretty fun: my buddy Mike works for Instructables over at the Pier 9 workshop. he also runs a youtube channel of cutting things in half on a waterjet . He did a small waterjet cut for me for a video I was working on, and in trade I gave him one of my old helmets to cut in half. Looking...

Hey all, just wanted to give you a quick heads up about a super cool event happening this weekend. http://www.makerfaire.com (Get tickets here) (Full disclosure, I work for the company that puts this thing on, but I'd still be going, regardless) If you're not familiar, Maker Faire calls...

Hey folks, quick heads up for the day. There's a Google Docs phishing scam making the rounds today that targets business that use Google Apps. If you get an email inviting you to open a shared document, don't. It looks like this: The Verge has more...
