Weather watching (not the extreme kind) - I basically note down the current weather and interpret my own forecast then later see if I'm right.
Lockpicking - it's basically a tiny little puzzle and I can buy different solutions for a few bucks at any store.
Gardening - this is less obscure/quirky and more that I don't want people to think that I'm bragging about how many tomatoes I have because I will in fact brag about how many tomatoes I have.
From my understanding, it's considered clean by comparison to fossil fuels in that it's easier to contain the byproducts that nuclear produces since they are primarily solid and liquid waste compared to the additional gaseous waste that fossil fuels make. The problem is in the potency of the pollution, the length of time that it needs to be stored, and while I said that it was fairly easy to store, that doesn't stop storage facilities from doing what the lowest bidder tends to do which is perform below the minimum expectation. The quantity of the waste is typically lower by tonnage compared to fossil fuels and a good chunk of nuclear waste is in the form of contaminated safety equipment that has reached the end of it's expected life cycle.
Something has to go horribly wrong for dangerous nuclear contamination to happen, but that's not to say that things can and have gone horribly wrong.
The store by me has their own brand of pop-tart that's got more icing and filling as well as being half the cost. They don't have as many flavors, but they're not shrinkflated to the point of being a sad cookie. Shout out to Meijer toaster pastries.
I think that's the point behind voting uncommitted in the primary. It's to put some heat on the candidate that actually has the potential to change their mind and do something. I can't speak for anyone else, but it's not as if I'm going to be voting for trump in the actual election and I understand how a 2 party fptp election works enough to put my vote in the "capable of having potential to stop supporting genocide" category.
People probably aren't enthused about buying an overpriced tv, fridge, washer, or phone that all come with bloatware and adware.
What's a guy gotta do to get one of those cool little cab over trucks in the US? I looked into it a while ago and it seems like they're only made overseas.
If cancer does cancer stuff around my stomach, you shoot my stomach. It's the only logical answer. /s
Goochland, Virginia is underrepresented here.
One thing that I haven't been able to glean from reading up on this incident was the exact reason the cops were trying to stop the performance. Was there an emergency and they had to clear everyone out? Not to imply the excessive escalation was justified, it isn't imo, just wondering what set these officers out on stopping him in the first place.
Huh. I would think that having everyone leave quicker would be more likely to cause an emergency than to prevent one. But also, like, the band practiced for this and the school (?) I'm guessing, gave the green light to go ahead and have the band play at the game. The least they could be allowed to do is finish their performance that they've been practicing.
Looks like Space Station 13.
No no, you misunderstand. The plants have so many tomatoes that the cages are bending. There are so many tomatoes.
Wait, didn't the gold check marked brands have to pay exorbitant fees for the checkmark? Is that counting towards the $1000 per month or is that deal being replaced with this new one?
I use resources on weather.gov for most of my personal forecasting. I know there are forecasts on there but I usually only need it for readings like pressure, humidity, and wind speed. Also I don't own a Doppler radar which is a very useful tool for figuring cloud density and shape. I do want to get a lightning detector though. That sounds neat.
As for your beans, if you got some spare cans and like pickled things, assuming they are green beans you could pickle them and they're pretty good. I like em that way at least.
Edit: I forgot to mention the accuracy of the forecasts. I have precipitation down pretty good. That's just pressure, wind direction, and cloud cover/type of cloud. Temperature is effectively magic where I live so it's hard to pin down. Still haven't figured out that one yet.
In no order:
Hydro is kinda devastating to any environment it touches if the scale is large enough. I think that it's usually pretty good on a micro scale that doesn't have to throttle waterways and flood others.
Where's Upton Sinclair when you need him?
| Weather watching - I'm by no means a meteorologist but I understand a bit of cause and effect for most weather patterns in and out of my area. I mainly use weather.gov for my informational resources and they also have guides on a lot of weather related stuff.
| Lockpicking - I started before lockpicking lawyer popped off but I deeply appreciate him for making fun videos about the subject and bringing it out of obscurity. He definitely is much better than my amateur self and makes it look easy in general. As for starting out, check your state and local laws because in some places possession of the tools is illegal if you don't have the right licensing, in others intent is critical but possession is not. Don't break into anything you don't own is an obvious one. Finally you can get a set of hooks, rakes, and torque wrenches online for $15-30 (prices may vary) and key locks are pretty cheap.
I've been playing a sailing simulator lite game called Sailwind. The gist of it is that you get missions to transport cargo to either nearby islands in your archipelago group or to another archipelago far away with your sailboat. It teaches the basics of sailing a purely sail driven boat and astral/solar navigation. Really fun for a chill boat game.
I'm also in that zone of being in the market for things that Samsung sells, but to me, the brand association is with having all of these issues that don't seem very worth it to me. I just want something affordable and reliable, things that I don't associate with Samsung.
I've gotten back into Guild Wars 2 and I'm enjoying it a lot more than where I left off. The game definitely matured since the end of the first expansion where I was and it seems like it's in a good way. I like that there's a lot to continually do and the grind to get to new fun stuff doesn't seem too high.
Other than that, my take my mind off of stuff game has been Sailwind which is an early access sailboat sim/merchant sim game. It's pretty cathartic to haul stuff across an open sea from point a to point b.
I would argue that in this metaphor it's still more surgical than a bullet but I get what you mean.
