NPSI romps were pretty fun. Been a few years since I've fired it up.

NPSI = Not Purple, Shoot It!

Squad up and then move to some objective location and raise hell shooting anything (w/ coordination from squad leader since the idea is to usually pool DPSl) not in the squad.

For dead drops, beyond worry about viruses there is also the concern about physical security so you don't fry your device/port. Randomly plugging in unknown USB devices just has way too many downsides.

USBkill, etc.

> The Photo page gives you everything you need to manage your entire image library from import to completion. You can import photos directly, from your Apple Photos library or Lightroom, and organize them with tags, ratings, favorites and keywords for fast, flexible management of even the largest libraries.

This is how they're going to win over LR users. It always comes back to it not just being a decent photo editor, it's also a library management tool. Beyond good organization, If you're non-destructively editing photos and not wanting to render out every single artifact, then you need a tool that can you show the library and dynamically render the edits.

It's nice experimenting with different editors, but having library management is turning into more of what keeps me shelling out. I'll have to check this out more.

If unspecified, 'exit' would mean 'exit right' to the right side of the traffic flow. In dense urban areas it might make sense for geography or cost reasons to put it on the left in which case youll see "Exit Left" to make sure people know to be in the 'fast lane' in preparation to leave the highway since it departs the highway exceptionally on the left

I-94 and I-35E in St. Paul, Minnesota comes to mind. You just merge left onto the other highway if you need to change.

Even with Flux, setting the profile automatically breaks down at high latitudes. If you're far enough from the equator, the sun can sod off most of the year as for how it relates to human biorythms.

I'm 60°N, as with my alarm clock, I've set a static profile to follow 365 days a year since the sun is unreliable.

I like making photos of landscapes as a hobby. I have a big dSLR camera, nice digital p&s, and my phone. Every time I go out (eg. on a hike) I have to force myself to consider if this is a "photo trip" or a "leisure trip". Am I going to be switched on, take a ton of gear, and be trying to make photos? Or am I going worry less about it, try to enjoy the moment and maybe grab a few non critical snapshots with whatever I have (usually just phone).

Even when going someplace new as a tourist, it's tempting to worry too much about photos. If I really want to play the aspiring travelling landscape photographer it would be work, a lot of it.

With a modern phone camera, for the purpose of a "I was here, I did/saw this" snapshot for posterity, it's pretty hard to mess up a photo so bad that it is worthless as long as it's pointed in the right direction. Take a few shots, but don't worry too much about quality or quantity.

"Apathy's a tragedy and boredom is a crime" - Welcome to the Internet by Bo Burnham[1]

This new song from Bo's covid-lockdown inspired special "Inside" hits this right on head. The Internet, particularly when paired with mobile devices just tries to suck up so much attention, because that's exactly what we made it do.
