Re: 10th Anniversary at my job - 3 months ago
I was just thinking about you the other day! I have been using my Mini 9 (MacArtist set it up for me) as a digital wallet but that now is going by the wayside. Newer camera images won't upload to it even tho all I'm trying to do is store them on it until I can get them to my work computer. It still works just fine, tho!

Re: Missing my Aperture - 3 months ago
Well, if you can't use it anymore, then move on, I'd say. AFAIK, Aperture was based on Lightroom and you can get a subscription for $99 per year-you get Lightroom, Photoshop, and Camera Raw (as a standalone app) for that price. Yeah, it's annoying, but you'd be comfortable with it and that's just the way things are going. Subscriptions.by DP - Tips and Deals

Getting their waders and gear ready for some fishing now the waterways are thawing. My neighbor is an avid fisher-member of Trout Unlimited-and even does a trip to the Yellowstone area once a year.

James Webb: 'Fully focused' telescope beats expectations - 3 months ago
The American space agency has achieved a major milestone in its preparation of the new James Webb Space Telescope. Engineers say they have now managed to fully focus the $10bn observatory on a test star. The pin-sharp performance is even better than hoped, they add. To get to this stage, all of Webb's mirrors had to be aligned to tiny fractions of the width of a human hair. But the agencyby DP - Tips and Deals
Re: Rousing the rabble: petrol - 3 months ago
There are new techniques for producing hydrogen that greatly reduce the cost and mess. And, again, if your electricity is generated by a coal-fired plant, you're putting more gunk in the air... Look, I'm not anti-EVs. I have no problem with hybrids, either. But you need major infrastructure additions to accommodate EV's. Insurance is higher as are repair costs, and you'll be paying an electricby DP - Tips and Deals

Re: Rousing the rabble: petrol - 3 months ago
Hydrogen. Works with ICE's and refueling infrastructure already in place. Virtually zero emissions. Or natural gas. Works with ICE's and refueling infrastructure already in place. Not quite zero emissions but still much cleaner than gasoline/diesel. Get electric done right and ease it in rather than force a not-quite-ready-for-prime-time technology on consumers.by DP - Tips and Deals
