Denver Metro is on par with the cost of living of San Diego Metro. Lots of people agreed with you already and moved here.

I'm the primary contributor of business book reviews on a few Slack instances. I post about once a week.

This is what I thought was going to happen at the end of 2 and was so excited I had to watch 3 right away. I was disappointed.

Free Tax USA is free for federal always and state is like $15. Been using it for years.

Don't be fooled by randomness. Randomness comes in clumps. For example if you flipped a thousand coins every day for a year and measured how each one predicted the stock market, heads for up, tails for down, at the end of the year you'll likely have one coin that far out performs the average. But would you use that coin to determine your investment strategy the next year?

And yeah Boeing is now killing people outside of their planes.

That was a great read! Not something I've heard of before. Thank you!

And yeah it's related for sure.

Thank you, I can't take credit for it. I got it out of the book Everybody Lies.

It takes a ton of bravery to be a whistle blower when others aren't dying like 80 year old diabetes patients. It'll take even more now, and I hope there are more. Boeing needs to be kicked in the bags.

You're saying my intentionally over simplified example to get a point across wasn't perfect? Amazing analysis....

Do you go by the nickname Captain Obvious with your friends?

Lol, thanks!

What celebrity has actually been a positive influence in your life?

Mine right now off the top of my head is Adam Savage, former co-host of Mythbusters years ago. I sometimes watch his Tested videos whenever he answers questions and he answers them very thoughtfully. A lot of his thoughts, takes and answers based on his experiences and point of view on life and career has helped me be more...

Bob Ross, I've always been an introverted person and didn't make friends quickly as a kid. Bob helped me become comfortable with that and just put my energy into things I do like instead of trying to be something I'm not.

That was the rewarding click for the day. I hadn't seen that yet and enjoyed every second. Thank you for sharing!

A great use of my time while I wait for my flight that's been delayed by 5 hours!

This sent me down a rabbit hole, now I'm reading a manual on how to calculate the data.

For those interested: https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/policyinformation/pubs/pl18027_traffic_data_pocket_guide.pdf

Pretty sure it'll be seen as noise and ignored. The algorithms aren't perfect but they're pretty tight and look for specific things. Unless you can emulate with a reasonable level of accuracy what is looking for it'll just ignore what you do.

Lol thanks!

The PDF doesn't call them out specifically but I'm pretty sure with some work bikes could be figured out and identified. I'd be willing to be places with more bike traffic have already done that.

I just landed to an email with a $50 credit. The round trip was $160 so I'm happy with the credit!

Thank you! I'm home, off to pick my car out of the garage and drive home.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. This is great information!

Would you share a story or two of your time doing this?

BallShapedMan ,
@BallShapedMan@lemmy.world avatar

Agreed, and another person replied in here who sets these up that further convinces me they do. But maybe go ask that person and see what they know?

BallShapedMan ,
@BallShapedMan@lemmy.world avatar

That's awesome, both stories! Thank you for sharing. A great day in the life.

So quick question, why do you have just one cone? 😂

That's two votes to one, I'll let my wife know she's been out voted. I'm sure she'll go along with the decision peacefully....!?

BallShapedMan OP ,
@BallShapedMan@lemmy.world avatar

I've seen it a few times in other places. But it's always been in big cities, not the middle of almost nowhere Oklahoma so it was a bit of a surprise.

Hopefully someone takes the time to add the other objects into the tracer and a denoiser. I'd love to play it that way!

But they gotta fix it first before I'll buy it!

Pretty sure I've never seen anyone properly explain humor, even humor everyone in the conversation gets. But thanks for expressing it's not for you.

I'm not sure how much my brother costs, but the three of us brothers were running across the top of monkey bars and jump kicking each other. I kicked my youngest brother off and he busted his head on the ground. It's ~40 years later and he still has the scar on the back of his head.

Oh wow, yeah I see that now. Oops!

Oh damn, Sync was giving me errors and I couldn't see it post. I need another app...

BallShapedMan OP ,
@BallShapedMan@lemmy.world avatar

I'll give it another go. Last year when I tried it, I wasn't where I wanted it to be yet.

BallShapedMan OP ,
@BallShapedMan@lemmy.world avatar

My mother in law too! Does she have an intense desire to cover everything in ketchup too?

BallShapedMan OP ,
@BallShapedMan@lemmy.world avatar

They might be related then, mine does that too lol.

And that's great to hear you've got a good relationship with them.

BallShapedMan OP ,
@BallShapedMan@lemmy.world avatar

It is.
