None of that article says record inflation. Is there anything you can get right? Do you think you could state your name without fucking it up?

Perhaps, but you have your own choices to make. I won't have any guests at my home who have not been vaccinated. If your friend chooses to remain a carrier, that's his decision. You can choose not to hang out with people who are 10x more likely to carry, transmit, and mutate the virus, which ultimately would exponentially increase the risks to you and your family. Your justifications should be given the same respect as you're giving to his.

United Airlines has issued it's policy on those who have a 'valid reason' to refuse the vaccine. They don't get fired. Those claiming a religious exemption get unpaid leave. Those who have a valid medical reason get temporary medical leave. https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/united-airlines-staff-who-are-granted-religious-exemptions-vaccine-mandate-n1278782?cid=sm_npd_ms_fb_ma&fbclid=IwAR32UdnYA0CQkXZJQ2_iWkkK-RNxJWcHMceFOXRbBAOcOTKMCq8EIBakouw

All that is somewhat interesting. But most likely the amount of damages in money potentially involved and recoverable even if any patent was found to be infringed upon would not be enough to risk the cost of pursuing the claim. Most likely Eric has never even been able to recover the costs of filing for the patent in the first place. Which no doubt is a source of great annoyance for him.

Inflation during June 1920 was 23.70%. Is there anything you can get right? Do you think you could state your name without fucking it up?

My wife has a compromised immune system, made worse by immunomodulatory drugs she is on. She's had 3 doses of Moderna, but was only at about the 2% percentile for antibodies after the 2nd dose. She is sad that she may never see one of her best friends again (they are not local, but still got together), because her friend is not getting vaccinated. Same for another friend. I wouldn't modify my behavior as much (only one very slight comorbidity, normal immune, not overly concerned), but I absolutely must avoid picking up anything (even common cold) and passing it on to her. Sigh. I will get a 3rd dose myself, as soon as it is authorized. I could just claim to be immunocompromized and get the 3rd -- it wouldn't get questioned, but will wait a couple of weeks to see what authorizations come down the pike.

Sure, but at the risk of a dose of liberal wrath, his point is a good one. Here we are 20 years and a day after deciding to blow the national budget on doing the right thing and what did we end up with in our Christmas stockings? Worse than nothing, for sure. Maybe we should accept a warming world and while energy and money are cheap have some fun build a better, albeit warmer, world for the China's kids. After all, it'll all be theirs someday, right?

Ivermectin causes sterilization in 85 percent of men, study finds I say let them have it. Stop the procreation of idiots.

The unit has been tested through the weekend and I'm really happy that it worked! Unlike previous attempts, when proprietary GPS units couldn't handle freefall, this time GPS data was displayed during all phases of the flight. Update was to 250ms and unit reaction time was pretty accurate. GPS unit rated up to 5Hz, with time it will be upgraded to 10Hz (same as in FlySight) I didn't have time to order tinted tape, so I put black one on the back, and on a bright day digits were readable no problem at all. Despite digits being blurry (the image attached is pretty close to what's in reality) it was easy to read them during the flight. Display is not distracting and could be looked at with quick eye movement. You might need some practice on the ground first just to get used to it, but then during the flight it didn't take an effort to check speed. As promised, basic source code and hastily written assembly instructions: https://github.com/RomanTheLegend/WingsuitGps Contributions are welcome because I won't have enough time to develop this project at a good pace, and there are few quite complex functions to be implemented. Next on the ToDo list: * Make few more units for my friends for wider testing and feedback (mid-October because shipping is only from China) * Make 3D models and wiring cleaner and leaner * Explore the possibility of attaching some control switches - that would allow to write some kind of menu interface in the future P.S. I got carried away a bit and added Bluetooth intercom made from old cheap headset while at it. This helmet gets more and more advanced

Here is a Dick pic for ya!

Prototype ready and assembled. I tested it today riding a bicycle in cloudy weather and it was readable. In bright sunlight this OLED is too weak on its own, but it could be improved by putting some tinted tape on the back of the frame, or in worst case a piece of duct tape. Will be testing it this Saturday, hopefully, it will be able to catch up with readings. GPS module is rated up to 5 Hz (similar to FlySight) so if anything, the bottlenecks would be in the code. I'm wrapping up the documentation & source code, will post it after field tests

Pics. I mean if you still are not sleeping, you should be documenting. Sheesh!
