Sagebrush posted:It's plastic. It is melted and applied hot and when it cools it leaves an extremely tough plastic film over the asphalt. If they don't mix in friction additives, it is about as slippery as driving over a McDonald's tray. Ah yes, the object teenagers use to turn their civics into parking lot drift machines.

Mustached Demon posted:Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi or there abouts. It's a federal circuit with two Trump and one Reagan appointee. The 5th Circuit has 17 judges, not three. Of those 17, two were appointed by Reagan, two by Clinton, three by Obama, four by Dubya, and six by Trump. There are also 9 more senior judges who don't regularly hear cases but will occasionally sit on a panel; of those on the 5th Circuit court, four were Reagan appointees, one Clinton, one Bush the younger, two Bush the elder, and one Carter. When a court of appeals receives an appeal, a panel of three judges is selected randomly. You're making it sound like there are three appellate judges for the entire 5th Circuit.

There's bits of Melbourne where they tried a green coating over the asphalt for bike lanes, I think it was grippy to start with but became more slippery as it wore and it looks like now they've just decided to let it wear off completely

evil_bunnY posted:They've tried a read coating in the city I live in for some crossings where bikes have priority and it wore out in less than 2 years. The green coating they use in my city has had mixed results. Some sections hold up great and some wear down quickly. I'm guessing the technique used to apply it makes a big difference. My city's OSHA sin against bicycles is using quarter inch thick paint for the cycle lane markings. It's like driving over a rumble strip every thirty feet and is massive overkill for something that only needs to hold up to bike traffic and the occaisonal car on an adventure.

Good thing about Nikon cameras: Built in rubber flap into the battery compartment, for external power through a battery-shaped plug. Bad thing about Nikon cameras: The damned thing is like $120 for a genuine one, and the chinese knockoffs don't work properly. (I have a much uglier setup at work with my old Nikon, the aforementioned genuine adapter, and an old Thinkpad on the work wifi that controls it and rsyncs the directory it captures into to my server.) Or is that ribbon cable for data, not power? I'm not really too familiar with what Canon (or is that Sony?) places behind each door and flap.

I'm not a machinist, but I don't believe you're supposed to hog out that depth of material, regardless of how rugged your machine or bits are. Especially the diagionals at the depth it was doing, putting vertical and horizontal stress on the bit and quill.

It's for data, the SBC is over on the left and emulates an SD card for uploading to server at certain intervals. Most canons have a little rubber flap on the battery door to allow external power. That build has a battery pack with solar panel.

Most canons have a little rubber flap on the battery door to allow external power. That build has a battery pack with solar panel. Ah right, so very much the same then. I should probably have expected as much.  I'm fascinated by SD card emulation being the most reasonable solution. I completely get why you don't want an actual SD card; they flake out and cost money - but SD emulation feels complicated. I went for using gphoto2 to capture to on-camera RAM (like in demo mode) and downloading from there, which lets me do everything with just power and a single USB cable. I have no idea if I just lucked out and used one of a rare few cameras where that just works, or if it's widely available but there's a good reason not to?

You say that, but when we put a doggo in charge of workplace safety at my last place only a scant few people plus doggo survived. Turns out spending your safety budget on doggy treats, and spending all your safety meetings doing walkies in the park rather then discussing safety things, is very not OSHA. Before the mass of easily avoidable deaths It was very adorable though.

Computer viking posted:Ah right, so very much the same then. I should probably have expected as much. That particular setup was quite a neat little package for something 10 years old. Can't remember how the SBC/SD interface really worked to be honest, but it was pre-raspberry pi. My prototype before that was purely timelapse without a cellular data link. Once a month I had to climb whatever I had attached cameras to and swap SD cards HOPING that I had positioned the box correctly and nothing fucky had happened. A few things that helped iterate designs: > wasps making a nest over the window on box (was was a threaded ND filter hacked into a power box with camera manually mounted behind) - the fix was bug sprayer on a timer circuit. > dust getting in - fix was positive pressure system consisting of a fan blowing out that helped with the following problems > camera overheating in QLD summer ^ see above > dust on lens window ^ again above > risk of lost data due to solar power failure/wet season - integrate 3/4G link with a server > risk of physically dropping an SD card and it disappearing into the bush whilst up the cherry picker each month ^see above There was a big flood on one site where I had 4 cameras once, and I was sitting on a tropical island drinking a beer watching big haul truck tyres floating and destroying anything in their path. Was a neato job to be honest.
