  • Drivers Tend To Kill Pedestrians At Night. Thermal Imaging May Help.

    Thermal imaging will definitely help spot those dirty walkers so I won’t miss as many. Those bastards can blend in sometimes and some of them are deceptively quick. The little ones especially are tough to take out. Of course, sometimes those guys just run right in front of you which are easy points but it takes the sport out of it.

    Anyway, it’s about time someone put the right tools in the hands of us hunters. I can’t wait to have an evening cruise with my lights off and really get a good stalk on, you know?




  • encode ads as part of the video file

    I suspect that an AI could be trained to be able to recognize ads, or at least the most annoying, ads.

    Also, a community driven project, like SponsorBlock, where users identify ads to build up a database could be created.

    These are just a couple of ideas to defeat embedded ads, and I’m not a genius programmer by any means. This is just another front in a war that has been going on since at least the 90’s and as long as blocking ads is less annoying than watching them, we’re winning.






  • I’m not sure how to get interactions going.

    I’m very shy and I met my partner of 9 years at a bar by walking up and confidently introducing myself. Nothing fancy, just some, or maybe a lot of, courage and faking confidence that I did not feel.

    I met quite a few people that way before meeting my partner and some dates came out of those interactions. Admittedly, I got rejected a LOT and more than once I went home very depressed, but I met the love of my life, so it was worth it.

    Good luck and remember that you are worth knowing and always be polite even if the person you try to start a conversation with isn’t!


  • Thanks for the sources; however, the National Library of Medicine is using data from 1993 and the other doesn’t specify by how much the violations rates are increasing or what the rates even are and the link to the underlying data appears to be dead.

    edit: I had time to look into this further and it appears that it was very common to fudge the paper logbook, but as of 2017 they’re required to use electronic logbook devices (ELD’s), so that is no longer possible. Yes, sleep deprivation due to violating the hours of service regulations was definitely a thing in the past, but I can’t find any data that indicates that it still is.
