    AI location from photos

    Not sure if this is old news, but a friend sent me this link of an AI beta to find the location from a (non-metadata) photo. It was able to locate a childhood photo with very little of interest in frame to within a few miles of my house. The ones I've tried since have been less impressive, but...

    Points record

    I don't put a lot of time into hockey, but have noticed the Bruins are on track to break the points record. Is this a thing anyone cares about? Will they ease up to prep for the playoffs and not break it? How excited should I be about all this?

    Steep Couloirs and Flatspin 360s - Skiing and Boarding 22-23

    First snowfall in the mountains and some cold night temps so winter is suddenly on my mind. I've got two trips booked so far. Pre-Christmas week with the family up at Mammoth, and a week of backcountry (plus bonus days at Revelstoke) with friends in Canada at the end of January. Spring break is...

    Accessing data from old SCSI drive

    I I found a hard drive in a closet that uses an old Mac SCSI interface. I don't really know what is on the drive, but it is from a fairly interesting time in my work life, so I'm somewhat curious. Any idea how to access the data? I don't have a computer even close to that era. I would be...

    Sox-related Intergenerational Trauma

    My middle guy, age 11, has been pretty into these playoffs. He also plays a bit of MLB The Show, so he knows at least a smattering of historical baseball figures. On the off day, he had questions about the Red Sox and their storied history. I was all too pleased to expound on the subject, from...

    NBA all-time 5-15

    I wanted to bounce off some of the historical comps going on in the kemba and playoff threads about where current players fit in among all-time greats. I know we've done this before, but stuff has changed and I wanted to see where people think now. I'm looking for an all-time top 15, but the...

    Looking for a quick understanding of MLS salaries

    I don't really follow soccer, but was hoping someone here could give me a quick understanding of the MLS salary structure. I'm doing a pitch and am thinking of changing the protagonist from a baseball player to a soccer player for an easier international sell. The sport itself isn't relevant...

    Skiing 19-20

    Anyone started planning for this winter? I just booked a week at Icefall Lodge in British Columbia near the northernmost section of Banff National Park. It's a week of guided backcountry, and the terrain looks amazing: Now I need to get in shape. I'm usually exhausted from one day of...

    Gaming connection speed

    My son is constantly complaining about his ping during gaming. Since I don't really care, I tell him there is nothing I can do about it. And that might be true, but I thought I'd check here. He's on PS4, although using it with a keyboard in PC mode. I have Charter Spectrum, with 100 Mbps...

    Anyone Watching Cody Townsend's ski video series "The Fifty"?

    I'm not a big fan of ski porn, but Cody Townsend has been doing a weekly youtube series (The Fifty) that I have found extremely enjoyable. It's him (and his cameraman Bjarne) trying to ski all 50 lines listed in the book "50 Classic Ski Descents of North America" over the next three years. The...

    Deep Thoughts-Skiing 2018-19

    Anyone thinking about skiing yet? I just booked Mammoth for the first week of Christmas and am doing paperwork for the kids to do race team at Big Bear (in the mountains near LA). I'm also drooling over some heli trips that I don't have the time to go to. I went crazy on new equipment before...

    Size Problems: a PC with a tiny SSD

    I am primarily a Mac person, but needed a PC for some finance stuff and some Excel VBA crap. After fighting with bootcamp for too long, I ended up buying a super cheap HP notebook. When I bought it, I knew it had a tiny 32 GB SSD drive, but figured I would have very few applications on it, and...

    Skiing/Riding 2016-2017

    We're about a month away from opening day for many ski resorts. Anyone making plans for this winter? Anyone looking for advice on where to go? I have kids in local race programs, so I probably won't get too many interesting trips, but I'm hoping for a good snow year in southern California so I...

    Skiing/riding 2015-2016

    I'm hoping for a much better season than last year. I managed to get in a ton of ski days, mostly because my oldest kid started racing, but the conditions were pretty pathetic all year. Mammoth opened a few days ago, and I'm hoping to go up in the next week or so. Even the local LA areas are...

    Skiing 2014-15

    Anyone getting skiing/snowboarding in? I've had a couple days so far in the local (for LA) mountains, and am heading up to Mammoth this Saturday for a week. It's looking like (finally) a good snow year after the last three or so bad seasons. Getting excited for a snowy year.
