I was out for a hike and it was on the ground (perhaps eating something), I frightened it and it flew up onto the branch (silently -- which is so cool). Once it was up there it was content to let me photograph it from different angles and walk around underneath it.
So there are phones now that swap in cloud-sourced images into pictures you take to make your pics that much more epic. So for instance if you take a picture of the moon at night with your phone and then look at the resulting image you can see fine details on the moon that there is NO WAY your phone's camera can detect. Because the software in the phone has detected the moon in your picture and swapped in one with more detail.
She likely has such a phone and the image that got swapped in for the sun had some compression artifacts or for that matter was procedurally-generated and not even a real image of the sun.
Putting technology into the hands of people who don't know how it works even on a fundamental level is bound to create these kinds of stories.
Canada avoided the asset-backed commercial paper crisis because they had stringent capital requirements on their banks. Those requirements were brought in by the government of prime minister Mulroney. Canada’s banks were into it as much as they could possibly be and would have failed if not for those capital requirements.
Capital (or capitalization) requirements dictate the amount of capital a financial institution much have on hand rather than re-lend. In the US the administration of President Bush weakened those requirements.
Unsurprisingly Porsche seems to be the exception here as their speedos are dead-accurate. I assume because so many of them see track time. VWs track really slow, but can be adjusted by tweaking the ECU but even at the most aggressive setting are still slightly slow. Ford is the same in my experience — just slightly slow.
You can do it. I would suggest that you first sign up for a motorcycle training class where you use their motorcycles to learn. You will get trained pretty quick and you will be a good rider. Then find an adventure motorcycle that is not too heavy and that you are comfortable on.
Look for groups in your area that do backpacking and overnight camping. You’ll want to keep your gear as light as possible but still warm enough for your destination which is common for both backpackers and motorcyclists.
Make sure you give yourself lots of time before your trip to practice riding with the gear on your bike. You will want to make changes before your big trip after you have some experience.
Finally do the trip with other riders. Maybe there is a motorcycle tour operator that operates on that route. Or maybe you can join a group that is interested in that or similar excursions.
Don‘t give up on your dream.
Fun story. I was recently on a 90 minute ferry crossing (large boat) and decided to walk laps around the deck during the crossing to get some air and exercise.
My Apple Watch just sort of freaked out. First it thought I was no longer walking because of the speed I was going and then when I insisted I was, it registered that I was walking 1km every 5 minutes or so.
I figured out that I really ought to have turned off location services for workouts which I then did do, but it won’t apply that change to a current workout.
As a result my record outdoor walking workout record is fraudulent. 😂
I have a 981 Cayman. This sounds pretty normal, but I’d check the fuse for the engine compartment fan just to be safe. One side air intake pulls outside air into the engine compartment to keep it cool (not to be confused with engine air intake). Pretty sure it has its own fuse.
But yes, you get that “hot” smell if you’ve really been on it.
Same attributes here. I’m a fast walker, so more often than now I’ll come up behind a woman on the sidewalk and she will visibly flinch and move away. Other times I will get women who will, without saying anything to me, match my pace and walk just behind and to one side to kinda pretend to be with me. When I notice that I typically slow down a bit so they don’t look too unnatural.
Mine goes with me on whitewater kayaking and canoe trips. Keeps perfect time, no issues with water (obviously) and I use it to time dehydrated meal prep.

Well, this doesn't seem to be against the rules, so here goes. A couple of years ago I was doing some wilderness kayaking with friends and one of us had caught some fish. I grew up on a freshwater lake and have probably prepared a thousand fish for myself or others over many years. But on this trip I got it into my mind that I was going to try to prepare fish head soup. So I essentially just put a medium-sized fish head into a pot and boiled it slowly for a long time (probably about an hour) on the campfire.
It was actually pretty good! In all my previous decades of eating fish I could never stomach the idea of eating the head (gills, eyes, brain, etc). Also, I didn't die and actually felt pretty good the next day. The only downside was that there were a ton of small bones I had to deal with. I haven't figured out what the right approach is there -- if you strain them off you're going to end up losing a lot of meat too.
If this is not strictly considered foraging, then please delete or let me know and I'll remove the comment.
Exactly. I worked this out a few years ago and I’m carbon negative. I purchased and protected a 6 acre plot of forest 20 years ago for a song and now I have another 4 acre piece. I heat with a heat pump and all my electricity comes from renewables. My vehicle is still gasoline powered but I rarely drive. Most of my carbon comes from my food.

While 2001 was a really rough year for me, I would go back to that year repeatedly until I was able to successfully stop the 9/11 attacks.
I’ve lived almost as much before as after that event. Before was better and the total loss of life and liberty as a result is heartbreaking.
Oh boy... For reference growing up poor was about 45+ years ago.
- Unfortunately I still rush on the toilet. For many years we didn't have running water so the toilet was an "outhouse". Let me tell you there is nothing like -30 degree temps to motivate you to get your job done quickly. In the summer it was thousands of flies. So you just never took your time. Yes, this has taken its toll on me physically.
- I'm paranoid about losing access to water so if the weather says there is a storm coming I fill the bathtub with cold water as well some buckets so I can take a rudimentary bath and dump water in the back of the toilet to flush it.
- I always have a small wood stove and some firewood on hand so I have 100% certainty that I can boil water and/or cook food on top of it if I need to. This also doubles to keep the place above freezing if the electricity goes out for a long time. You don't want your pipes to freeze (and you end up without running water again).
- I hang my clothes to dry indoors with only a few exceptions (like bed sheets) because the dryer is so expensive to run. Note that I could run the dryer 24 hours a day and still afford my electricity bill, but I could never bring myself to use it except when I have to.
- I never eat canned foods. Canned foods were cheap and so every meal was a canned vegetable, potatoes (also cheap), and then some protein (usually fish because we could catch that ourselves and it was free). We never went hungry, but I buy fresh vegetables and nice cuts of meat for myself now. I still long for fresh fish though.
- I do all my own vehicle maintenance. I bought a motorcycle in 1992 for $600 and to learn auto mechanics I stripped it right down to the frame, head off, valves out, carbs completely disassembled, etc. and then put it all back together. My time is now valuable and I know it is really stupid to do my own work, but after decades of doing it because I had to, I can't seem to bring myself to pay someone else to do it.
I could probably keep going, but at some point this turns into a therapy session.
Ugh. When I close my eyes I can still see the inside of the rear brake drums of the Tempo I tried to keep on the road in the 90s. The parts were cheap but you were buying them ALL THE TIME.
You’re wrong, but this is reddit so whatever.
”under s. 15(2), the loan amount will be included in the income of the person or partnership for the year in which the loan is made, except in certain circumstances. S. 15(2) does not apply if the entire loan is repaid within 1 year after the end of the taxation year of the lender, as long as the repayment was not a part of a series of loans or other transactions and repayments.”
Read my comment again. “…you have a year to pay back your company…”
Thanks for the downvote tho! I’ve been in business for 23 years FWIW.
I specifically said that you have to pay it back within the first year. You should definitely not drag it out.
Research “shareholders loan”. You can give yourself an interest-free loan of $30k to pay off the car loan and you have a year to pay that back to your company. The catch of course is that it *must* be paid back and of course you’ll be using after-tax money to do that, so you’ll have to have the personal income to support that.
There is no way to avoid paying tax, but you don’t have to pay interest on loans if you have the capital to support them otherwise.
i don’t believe X (Twitter) has “High Sentinel Activity”. That’s part of the problem…
I went to school with a Harry Cox. His parents didn’t even have the sense to call him Harold. I am not making this up.
You can search on a site like Amazon or EBay, but they make small water-type bottles with a special cap (or you can just by the cap separately and use a regular water bottle) which is effectively a portable ”bidet”. You do your business, and then spray your behind to clean it off.
For the enjoyment of everyone else please still take a trowel and bury it. I still take a small amount of TP on my hikes just-in-case, but for the past few years I’ve just used the portable bidet and trowel method.
EDIT: If you are of the female persuasion then I recommend a she-wee plus the bidet method to keep clean.
