I gave up on the backer rod and Magic Eraser because the cut sections "became" open cell. They both seemed to work okay, but I much preferred the purpose-made stuff. Kind of odd for me since I can be a cheapskate that way.

I used a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser pad and a small length of aluminum or brass tubing to punch and take a core from the pad. It seemed to work as well or better than the backer rod. I gave up on both and went back to the premade stuff. BTW, the best hole punch for foam and other sheet goods is a...

At least it's still a person or persons.

He looked like he never really enjoyed that job.

That's exactly why I'm worried. What saved humanity (so far) from nuclear annihilation has been the accepted doctrine of “mutual assured destruction” (you launch yours, we’ll then launch ours, and everybody loses). I don't see any such inherent deterrents for AI gone bad. Oddly, the...

Thanks for the book recommendation. I'll check it out. SciFi or not, AI will be asked to make more complicated decisions, some of which may determine life or death. Outside of military applications, I can think of two examples: 1. As AI medical procedures and surgery becomes more complex...

These tools are quite incredible in the quality of videos they can produce. I'm concerned just how quickly they evolved. And, they're only going to get better. We may not have to worry, because they'll improve gaming and porn so much that many people will never leave the house. Finally, fewer...

I've never used it there. Good to know. As @SurfnFish said, they are very good for mapping depth and bottom contours. I use mine more for that than marking fish. Having said that, the 12 foot lake has the most boring and barren bottom contours and cover I've ever seen. Other than spotting an...

It depends. Being local, I think I know which 12 foot deep lake you're talking about. I have a Garmin Stryker 4 and find it's not very useful on that lake because of the small size of the cone. If you mark a fish, it's probably right under the transducer. On the deep lake just northeast, I find...

When I argue with myself, we always come to a consensus. So, I always win.

Heck, even NYC is not immune from wildfire smoke: https://insideclimatenews.org/news/13062023/wildfire-new-yorks-climate-change-planning/

AI will likely choose a scud pattern with three antennae and seven legs. Every experienced flyfisher knows that will never work.

My wife got me a Westfly Pro Vest a few years ago. https://www.wetflyfish.com/new-gallery-3?srsltid=AfmBOorriseB-qLHN9v7nMXAsQ34Dn7P1iGDtNgXRuNMeWX0U4enS5gn I'm 6' 3" and shinking. This fits well, easily adjusts to several additional clothing layers and has been great in the salt. It's...

Those aren't effects. It's an LSD flashback!

That's the Pinkebellus Powerbaitaria. Once they release their spores, their flesh firms up and they are easily baited on snelled hooks. Just wait another week or so. 😉

Me too. And also on my laptop, USB sticks for the car and A/V receiver, and ITunes. Kinda like it.

Thanks for the dehooker picture. I'll make one to have on hand. May never need it. 🤐
