Parked less than 18" from the curb. Totally fine in California.

Translation (as near as I could figure out):

"Inexpensive PASGT (Personnel Armour System for Ground Troops) helmet with dyed, surplus camouflage cover and a used Yukon Gen1 Night Vision Goggle held on with GoPro parts (likely the curved attachment and maybe even the overhead clips), and an extra mount."

Definitely a case of: "if you have to ask, you don't want it."

Also, the Yukon Gen 1 seems to be discontinued (most of the reviews are 12+ years old) but new units run $2-5K.

I recently tried to convert a 2-yo Lenovo running Windows-11 to dual-boot. Gave up after three days and just went with Ubuntu. It shouldn't be this hard.

Hope they make a pop-top version at some point. Used to have one of those. Great for car camping since you could sleep two in the upper deck and not have to rearrange everything below.

Here I am, literally waiting for delivery of a USB-C to Mini-USB cable that I thought I would never need and got rid of six months ago.

Turns out the little external DVD player I keep around if I ever need to watch a DVD requires it. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Is it a 'coup' where the 'deposed leader' shows up and actively praises his own replacement (who was literally his deputy)?

Why not just go all the way and call it a 'revolution?' Sheesh.

This is one of those times that you acknowledge you're out of gas, and hand off the writing to a team of younger, competent, creatives. Sweeten the pot by offering proportional revenue-share.

It's been done before.

 

Earlier today, at Oakland, CA charging station.

 

Not sure if true, but someone raised an issue when this was first announced. That you can no longer refuse to unlock your phone when stopped, since you'll have to unlock it to show your digital driver's license.

Next step would be realtime updates from journalists on breaking news.

 

Saw a picture of a canceled check online. Was wondering if it was real.

Yup. From the California Secretary of State site.

 

Excerpt from 'Dark Wire.' It's a good read.
