The largest known star in the universe compared to our sun https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UY_Scuti

Y'all know about the nazi trees, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_swastika That would be a cool thing to do it you had some property, or access to decent property. Maybe not swastikas. You could write stuff with runes. The geometric shapes would be pretty easy, and it would be just...

Openstreetmap is made by user edits. I just logged in, and it looks like I've made 28 edits. Most are trivial details added from the StreetComplete program, but I've made some alignment edits too. I use osmand exclusively for navigation. Not many frills, but no tracking, and I can easily...

WTF's wrong with people? How is the default assumption "random guy talking to kids", and not "father in a park with his kids"? If you're really concerned, watch for a couple minutes to see if you stick them in the trunk or something.

It would be a fairly involved project if it were done right. Not that hard, but a lot to do. I'd make it a plugin for openstreetmap and osmand. People could upload map sources they have rights to(or lack copyright) to a repository, and interested parties could download them, and overlay it on...

Hatchet to start with. Axes can be flipped too, but they require more practice and care.

Carabiners are fun to play with. So are axes. Flip the axe and catch it. Try a different number of spins before you grab it. That'll pass the time on the way to the pharmacy.

Know what would be cool? Being able to overlay historic maps onto modern on the fly while driving. It's cool seeing the original routes roads took. A fun waste of time would be traveling a moderate-long distance following the alignment of 1935. Taking all the side roads and spurs, and picking...

Outside in cool evening is the best place to be on the planet. The lights are dimmed, and the jet contrails stimulate the imagination of traveling to far off places/planets( :^O ) Can't say it gets quiet. Too much traffic and too much light pollution, but that can be drowned out to be somewhere...

...to access stuff on my phone. In some ways, it's worse than a password, but good passwords are a pita on a phone, so I switched to something that was more secure for *my* use case. It was what I was willing to maintain, so it's better than something technically superior that doesn't get used.

...account doesn't have a big bullseye on it like a company that specializes in storing passwords has. edit: A sample generated password... }5tDN_`*6r\Z#S[5bS4i That's on the simple side of options, and is virtually uncrackable using current methods. It also isn't something that can be...

I kinda thought so. Not judging you. Just an observation :^)

You just acclimate I guess. Start with a bit of hot sauce, increase the amount, then go to a hotter sauce. It helps to like the pain. It's a real buzz when you go up to, and perhaps a little past the edge of tolerance.

What annoys me is the "spicy" snacks are only hot if you come from Wisconsin. I want some legit hot snacks that have some fire, and no damned sugar. I don't want anything sweet/hot. Hot/hot is perfect, and salty/hot is acceptable.

The northern lights have sound... https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20211001-the-people-who-claim-to-hear-the-northern-lights I was thinking I have music from every continent aside from Antarctica, and was wondering what Antarctic music would sound like. The most likely candidate was Aurora...

I always felt that crossing at crosswalks was less safe than crossing mid street. At a crosswalk, you have four directions that have to be accounted for, with people concentrating more on the cars on busy roads. Mid street, you only have two directions to watch, and it's either clear or it...

Might be common knowledge, but tears of Chios are harvested by 100% manual process in Greece, and to a lesser extent in Turkey. It's mastic from the pistacia lentiscus tree. It's a flavor(conifer like) popular in the Mediterranean region. I have Falim chewing gum that has that flavor. I also...

Nice! I've wondered that. When I have some free time and motivation, I'll look up how CO2 is generated for food and industrial use.

Brandolini's law... "The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandolini%27s_law

Reality tv is terrible. They have all this life threatening drama going on, and then you think "There's a whole tv production crew on the other side of the camera". It's like professional wrestling.
