@MattSpeller I recently discovered that Trader Joe's carries Nitro Stout. Unfortunately, it's like $12 for a 6 pack.
That is a cheap 6pack here in $CDN
We get fancy ones from Oregon for $25/6pack
I recall that! I went to Calgary to teach a class and was blown away by the price of beer. Your government must be making all their money on vice taxes. It makes a good case for giving up all of your vices!
Liquor and smokes bud - ohhhh damn.
Good pack of smokes is near $14 now
Smokes bud? I thought you said Canada, not Colorado?
You should come visit Canada again soon haha
I will be driving through in August of 2018 as part of my motorcycle ride to all four US corners (San Diego, Seattle, Maine, and Key West).
I have an open invite to any ML denizen who visits Vancouver Island - first pint is on me
That may have to happen next year... This year I'm headed to Toronto. Late July if ya wanna join me, bud!

Thanks! I'll be posting here to plan and do ride progress as the time nears to leave.
Any lodging help is greatly appreciated, even if it's just a suggestion for a good campground. -

For essentially going to the other side of the world there'd better be more than 1 beer!

If the only reason you fly all the way here is to have a pint with me I don't know what to say lol

@JaredBusch So this was the first e-reader?
An early Amazon Kindle (before the kindle obviously)
Pretty cool, I wonder if you could still get media.
RCA had an e-reader out in the early 2000's. I bought my wife one. they were super heavy though... she didn't like it.
I have my old Nook too, that was pre-Kindle I think as well.
@DustinB3403 This was the first commercial E Ink device ever.

Have you ever been sitting next to an ignorant arsehole who is trying to justify his own bigotry and racism by spewing out ignorant, racist, ridiculous, bigoted words, so much so that you wanted to choke the life out of their worthless body? That's what I did for lunch today. I even resisted physical violence... I even resisted the urge to tell him what a pile of shit he was. But if I knew what he was driving, he might have 4 flat tires when he finished lunch.

Whoa. You had lunch next to the President-elect? I applaud your restraint.
Edit: to be clear, I'm only happy that you would restrain yourself in this situation for no other reason than it would be a shame for you to go to jail.

Well, the president-elect's balls were very clearly on this guy's chin.... and my restraint is a sign that I must be getting old. 25 year old me would have started some shit.

Just bought a pack of high power infrared diodes (Osram SFH 4556P) and hacked a few webcams (removed the IR filter and added a filter for visible light made from an old 3.5" floppy disk).
Great and cheap head-tracking setup.
-
@thwr external tracking? from beacons etc in the room?

@MattSpeller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

No, the cam tracks the IR diodes which are attached to the headset. I like this method the most, because it works almost independent from environmental lighting.

Are you using FreeTrackIR? Or something else?

That's exactly what I want to build a setup like this for. Arma3 and FalconBMS.
