In the past 24 hours the Elon drug use has come from the NYT and this is coming from CNBC. I’m calling bullshit on that excuse.

I think Threads is just a bit too invasive
I find this ridiculous, but the general public doesn’t seem to care. And this stuff will continue until they do. So forever.

For search I switched to DuckDuckGo as my default years ago with little notice, and only use Google search occasionally when I’m shopping. I noticed last week they are starting to hammer you with the sign in prompt every time I use it so they can more easily track my searches That’s a bad sign for things to come, the free ride might be over. The only thing Google I actually use these days is YouTubeTv because it gives a cable TV experience without having to deal with Comcast. Would love to hear suggestions for competitors so I can disconnect completely.

Amazon Hikes Profits by Forcing Ads on Paid Prime Subscribers [5:39 | May 02 2024 | Louis Rossmann]
Feel like the increase is gonna be short term, I immediately cancelled my membership renewal when this change happened and have heard many, many people say the same thing. Hadn’t paid much attention to my prime membership dues until this change, and realized it wasn’t worth what I was paying.

The science is clear. So why can’t governments agree on vaping?
Why are people all of sudden so concerned about other people’s health? I should be able to do just about anything I want to my body, as long as it has minimal impact on those around me. I can understand second hand smoke being a problem indoors, what impacts does exhaling vapor have on others?

ArcGis Pro in Wine?
I’d bail on ArcGIS. It’s expensive and QGIS does everything you could possibly need to do without the price tag, or the windows dependency. If you know ArcGIS, Q will feel very familiar.

I’d argue never starting a land war in Asia is the better advice.

‘The Idol’ Is a Bomb for the Ages: The Winners and Losers of HBO’s Summer Disaster (Commentary)
The opening scene of the show was fantastic. It was fun the characters were interesting, and had very high hopes. Everything after that scene just fell completely flat. Gave up halfway through episode 2 because it was just boring and all the characters they chose to focus on were uninteresting and 1 dimensional. Sounds like I made the right choice.

Why the Chiefs and Royals couldn’t convince Kansas City voters to foot the bill for their stadiums
The Royals have had maybe 10 winning seasons in the past 40 years, and the games aren’t locally televised. I’m all for the downtown stadium, but if they want public funding they should address those 2 issues first. Chiefs made a huge mistake tying their fate to a garbage franchise like the Royals.

Why did you chose GIS as a career?
I remember sitting in a geography 101 class, and the professor mentioned I could work with satellites, and was immediately hooked. Got through my undergrad, and after a few years working in a super boring unrelated job went back and got my masters. Through my projects had to teach myself to code because ESRI was garbage. After that my career blew up, and never looked back.

You have been avenged!
Episode was not great. No B story, and kinda vanilla. Hopefully it gets better as the season progresses.

Spoilers - S06E04 Mazey Day - Episode Discussion
The episode, and most of this season has felt more like Tales of the Darkside, not Black Mirror. Definitely would prefer the sci fi dystopia stuff, but enjoy a good horror story.

Saw it too, not sure if i loved or hared it. Read a review after that capture it well. "Cool and wildly original, but confusing for all the wrong reasons"

ArcGis Pro in Wine?
Reply in thread
They have plug-ins for web tiles, and you can connect to the ArcGIS map services. It has a terminal, but I don’t use that function much. I generally do all data manipulation and prep using Python and postGIS, and use Q as a visualization and editing tool. But it has plugins for just about everything. Most of the data resources ESRI gives you is repackaged public data, so searching the internet will provide you with most of the layers you might need.

what are some of the most beautiful cars in your opinion?
2016 Mercedes S63 AMG. My daily driver is the 2015, and so jealous when I see the 2016, it’s perfect. It’s gonna be a sad day when I have to move on.
