Mop: So I take it you've used the Ricoh Theta S ...have you used the older Ricoh Theta, or other 360 cams? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 5, 12:11 1
- The Theta S is crap. The newer generation SC isn't much better. And the plain "Theta" is, of course, worse. - Mop Sep 5, 12:18

This reminds me. I need to find a replacement for CrashPlan home. I wasn't using it extensively given we all have OneDrives and I have Amazon and - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Sep 5, 12:05 6
- Yeah I'm in the same boat. So annoyed. -- nm - sycor Sep 5, 12:16
- Why are you abandoning CrashPlan? -- nm - Mop Sep 5, 12:07 4
  - They discontinued their home service -- (link) - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Sep 5, 12:08 3
    - My "issue" is really that my $150/yr covered multiple devices quite easily without having to grant them access to a shared storage - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Sep 5, 12:10
    - Whoa. Is Carbonite still an option? I used to backup my home server to it. -- nm - Mop Sep 5, 12:08 1
      - I see they recommend Carbonite as an alternative. -- nm - Mop Sep 5, 12:09
Wait, screw all this! I missed the important news. Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, is pregnant again?! -- nm - Mop Sep 5, 12:05 1

  - I was going to post exactly this and then add "and to hell with everyone else" -- nm - crash davis Sep 5, 12:16 1
    - It's pretty standard cognitive dissonance for Trump supporters. "My benefits are earned! Everyone else is a moocher!" -- nm - Mop Sep 5, 12:21

If you got an evacuation order tonight when you got home. What would you do - what would you grab, how would you get out of town? -- nm - Andie Sep 5, 11:47 31
- I'd take my 3DS and my credit cards and die with indignity in New Orleans. -- nm - Qale Sep 5, 12:19
- I could take a train to Boston but what hits us would likely hit them. I'm not sure what I'd do. - Krustylu Sep 5, 12:17 2
  - you can come here, I'll put you up -- nm - decline Sep 5, 12:19 1
    - Thanks, man! -- nm - Krusty Sep 5, 13:06

- Kid, diabetes supplies/insulin, dogs, throw some clothes in a bag. -- nm - kelly Sep 5, 12:01
- Grab the kids, the gerbils, dry foods, water, clothes, electronics, and clothes. Head for the interstate. - Mop Sep 5, 11:55 2
  - and in a pinch, gerbils are good eatin' -- nm - decline Sep 5, 11:55 1
    - Well, they're good for a snack, at least. -- nm - Mop Sep 5, 12:12
- I'm pretty fortunate to live in an area that doesn't have many natural disasters. even in town, my neighborhood in partic is flood-resistant. - amanda jones state university Sep 5, 11:52
- *shrug* I live in Los Angeles. Here, getting out of town means just moving a couple of neighborhoods over. -- nm - con_carne Sep 5, 11:51 1
  - But getting out of the 'basin' could be a problem. Really just 3 highways out and those are hopeless on a regular Friday night. -- nm - Meg Sep 5, 12:01

- my dog, my firesafe with legal docs and a go bag with clothes and stuff. Where would depend on the type of disaster - decline Sep 5, 11:49
- How I would get out of town depends on the emergency. Tsunami? Mountain route, but that would be SO jammed. - Beryllium Sep 5, 11:49 1
  - As for the bugout kit, we have a tub of supplies, so I'd bring that plus some clothes, cats, external HDs, laptops, chargers, rPi with camera project - Beryllium Sep 5, 11:55
- Well, we'd be getting home from the airport, so we'd at least have a week's worth of clothes and necessities already packed. -- nm - znufrii Sep 5, 11:49
- Cats. Our emergency bag. Duffels with a bunch of clothes. And i guess we'd go west. Most major road options so best chance to actually keep moving. -- nm - Andie Sep 5, 11:48
- My dog and his food, my laptop, some clothes, depending on if I had my car maybe my Green Day signed guitar and my Foo Fighters signed drum heads. There would be no way out with the traffic here though so it's moot. -- nm* - jnine Sep 5, 11:48
- Load up the car, the spouse ( hog tied if necessary), the kid, the dog, all the cans & water bottles, head north -- nm - Epiphany Sep 5, 11:48 3
  - Would the roads work? -- nm - Andie Sep 5, 11:49 2
    - yes - I think so - if we did it early enough - I'm almost in Oklahoma anyway - its rural - I got a Jeep. I'd try to get out. -- nm - Epiphany Sep 5, 11:53 1
      - But then again- my entire metroplex lost their damn minds last week and caused a gas shortage -- nm - Epiphany Sep 5, 11:54
Gay nightspot TEN closed unlawfully this past Sunday by APD. -- (link) - Qale Sep 5, 11:39 4
- I'd love a follow up on this. If they had a permit and they were closed anyway, heads should roll. -- nm - Mop Sep 5, 11:45 3
  - Development and neighborhood associations around Piedmont Park have wanted the gays out for a while. -- nm - Qale Sep 5, 11:53 2
    - That's all well and good but if the club is within it's rights, the police needs to be called to account. - Mop Sep 5, 11:56 1
      - But, they're gay in a town where bible quotes are used in math equations -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 5, 12:05

    - It's a deterrent against action against NK. Having nuclear weapons and signalling a willingness to use them sends a message that "you guys have no - Roger More Sep 5, 12:00 2
      - [deleted]
      - [deleted]
- NK only continues to exist based on the *threat* of war. The regime isn't crazy, it's all calculated IMO. - Cuzzin Todd Sep 5, 11:44 4
  - That was the case until recently. Firing across Japan flies in the face of that. -- nm - Spawn Sep 5, 11:45 3
    - not to mention the above-ground (potentially) 1 megaton test followed by another icbm test -- nm - Beryllium Sep 5, 11:56 1
      - They are doing *far* more than rattling their saber. -- nm - Spawn Sep 5, 11:59
    - that is extremely troubling -- nm - Epiphany Sep 5, 11:55
- I think she's wrong. They know a war isn't going to end well for them. - Krusty Sep 5, 11:42 1
  - If their leader believes in logic, sure. -- nm - Spawn Sep 5, 11:44
- She's wrong, it's not helpful, and I suspect she knows better. - Mop Sep 5, 11:41
- NK is the drunk guy in the bar with a gun begging people to fight him. -- nm - Inigo Sep 5, 11:40 1
  - [deleted]
- Wait, there is a doubt? -- nm - Spawn Sep 5, 11:35 2
  - Sure. Most people just think they want the US to think twice about forcing regime change. -- nm - mara Sep 5, 11:41 1
    - Seems like they crossed that bridge a few years ago. -- nm - Spawn Sep 5, 11:44
My Aunt want to leave buy my Uncle won't. My Dad doesn't want to leave my Aunt and Uncle b/c their health hasn't been great - ty97 Sep 5, 11:31 20
- Is this family in Florida? Put 'em in a car if necessary. -- nm - Mop Sep 5, 11:32 10
  - I would imagine Texas (I am out of the loop). -- nm - Spawn Sep 5, 11:33 9
    - Florida is about to get crushed by Irma. If they want to evacuate Texas, why didn't they evacuate before the storm? -- nm - Mop Sep 5, 11:35 8
      - By all accounts, they didn't evacuate Houston because the jams on the roads would have been more dangerous than people being in their homes. - Andie Sep 5, 11:37 6
        
        What's the aftermath in Houston? Are they without utilities? What are the projections for returning things to status quo? -- nm - Mop Sep 5, 11:42 5
        
        They have mosquito swarms that will drain you of blood in less than a minute. -- nm - Spawn Sep 5, 12:01 2
        
        and all those fire ant islands went someplace -- nm - decline Sep 5, 12:04 1

        well, this was written yesterday (and the death count was 60 as of this morning.) -- (link) - Andie Sep 5, 11:44
      - Oh. I am behind on the next wave. -- nm - Spawn Sep 5, 11:36
- Its road trip time - the parents in the front, Aunt/Uncle in the back. This is no time to mess around. -- nm - Epiphany Sep 5, 11:32 8
  - The men all refuse to leave! My Aunt won't leave my Uncle. My Dad won't leave my Aunt and Uncle -- nm - ty97 Sep 5, 11:43 5
    - this is such a difficult situation. Help them prepare as best they can and explain - once they commit to staying - they are stuck. - Epiphany Sep 5, 11:47 3
      - And every flight has sold out since this morning. Anytime a single seat pops up, it errors out before I pay for it -- nm - ty97 Sep 5, 11:49 2
        
        ack! that sucks. They better prepare -- nm - decline Sep 5, 11:59
        
        Plan B - get them prepared. -- nm - Epiphany Sep 5, 11:55
    - Men are dum. -- nm - jnine Sep 5, 11:45
  - Yup. -- nm - Krusty Sep 5, 11:36

Have we heard from Qale lately? -- (edited) - Spawn Sep 5, 11:30 2

Map showing fires in the west and the path of smoke eastward. -- (link) - Mop Sep 5, 11:26 1
- This is the new normal. Climate change or not, the west is going to continue to burn and the southeast is going to continue to have big storms. -- nm - jnine Sep 5, 11:34
Has anyone quit the White House diversity council over DACA yet? - Spawn Sep 5, 11:25 2
- You mean people in their right mind actually signed up for a Trump Diversity Council? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 5, 11:38
- Trump was going to fire him anyway. -- nm - Mop Sep 5, 11:29
Spawn, new thread so I don't take away from what happened to that poor kid. - crash davis Sep 5, 11:23 1
- Nice. My 1st complex was all college students. Upper end. They would graduate and get their jobs across the country and basically leave *everything*. - Spawn Sep 5, 11:27

I've been reading too much of the local community Facebook group. People r dum. -- nm - Mop Sep 5, 11:20 10
- Sampling: Why does school start so early (mind you, it starts on 9/6 here). Fall isn't even until September 22! - Mop Sep 5, 11:25 7
  - Can I ask why it does though? When you say "when school starts up in the fall" it is confusing (growing up, it was always mid September for us). -- nm - con_carne Sep 5, 11:32 3
    - It was early September for me as a kid back in Canada. I don't think this date is all that unusual. - Mop Sep 5, 11:34 2
      - No, I get that. It's just... why? My nephew just started fall semester two weeks ago and I'm like... why -- nm - con_carne Sep 5, 11:39 1
        
        volnelk makes a good point about getting into class before the standardized tests are issued. - Mop Sep 5, 11:51
  - Schools are starting earlier and earlier so there is more school before testing dates. It isn't supernatural. -- nm - volnelk Sep 5, 11:32 1
    - school should be year round. Kids need to learn more -- nm - decline Sep 5, 11:33
  - Logan is over a month in. -- nm - Spawn Sep 5, 11:25
- Someone asked if we were going to be evacuated, which reminded me vaguely of a movie or TV show... Help me. - Mop Sep 5, 11:22
- And evil. -- nm - Spawn Sep 5, 11:22
LIR: CQ. Is it this card? -- (link) - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Sep 5, 11:20 3
- Yeah, I almost replied $5 to his post. Logan is keeping his. -- nm - Spawn Sep 5, 11:31
- way to burst his bubble, hobbit -- nm - decline Sep 5, 11:30 1
  - From my brief stint with playing the tournament scene with my kids, it was WAY cheaper to buy the best cards and build a deck than to ever try to buy - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Sep 5, 11:36
