They aren't supposed to be the entire app or the only way to interact with something.

I installed the antenna in the winter. Everything worked great. In the summer, we lost a few channels. Rain in the summer and hardly anything would come in. The answer I realized, like in the article, is trees. Leaves are already full of water so they are good at attenuating signals. Leaves that are also soaked in rain doubly so.

- Just rain == good internet

- Just cold == good internet

- Cold + rain == bad internet

After a lot of head scratching the provider finally sent someone with a ladder to climb the poll. What they found was that the protective boot on the coax connection was bad. When it rained for a while water would seep into the coax connector. By itself this wasn’t too bad, but if it was also cold outside it would freeze. This would then force a gap between the threads of the socket and the cable, breaking the ground connection.

Previously, the connector had been replaced, but nobody had noticed the torn boot. This tech replaced both the connector and the boot and the problem was solved! It honestly was the best interaction with the cable company I have ever had. Only returning their hardware when switching to fiber felt almost as good.

“Cadova builds on the ideas of OpenSCAD, but replaces its limited language with the power and elegance of Swift. It’s inspired by SwiftUI and designed for developers who want a better way to build models through code. It's cross-platform and works on macOS, Linux and Windows.”

We really could use a place like that today.

For one person with one computer it’s probably delightful overkill. For a modern family unit it can make everyone happy.

Also I made the mistake of resetting the phone in an attempt to get into the admin account!

In a 13 month period there were three fatal accidents that were down to drivers losing control and crashing on their own. The last two coming in successive months. The repeated accidents killed off Group B and the nascent Group S that was supposed to replace it.

Modern WRC cars much higher cornering speeds than the Group B cars because of advances in tire technology. They aren’t as fast in a straight line, but they are massively safer in the event of a crash.
