Went to check my my SSA and login and password no longer work. I had to use my ID.me account login which I have had for a while. That worked but I have never received any notification of this change.

Y = Latitude = Ladder going up and down (thinking the La in latitude equals the La in ladder. Its worked for me since 1995.

I retired from my job in 2015 and was 100% ESRI at that time. I went back to college and have since gotten another job and am now 100% QGIS. I also used R in college.

Done

Never mind the thousands in saved licensing fees.

Stay out of tall buildings and off bridges, just sayin.

Really, he went to a $40k/year high school.

I have been working with MySQL for a few years but I am planning to set up PostgreSQL with PostGIS on a free Neon neon.tech/account and move up from there. It is a better spatial db of the two IMHO.

Do we still have to hear about George Soros in the future after this?

Not even close to sold out.

The main reason I have never joined any. I have been hard pressed to see any benefit.

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate!

Those globes are so nice, I want! 😁

I set up a QNAP NAS and IDrive for backup. The QNAP has a failover drive in case one goes bad. I have 8TB of data stored so using external drives is a chore and they fail more often than I like.

Wow, I have about 20 and thought that was a lot.

I was in USB prison for 500GB last week, I feel your pain!

Thanks, I had not seen that freegisdata site before. Lots of great data sets there. Accurate public use administrative levels for the countries of the world beyond admin 1 are lacking in general and even admin 1 are very inaccurate generally.

Not sure but the answer might be here: docs.bsky.app

Thanks for the chuckles!
