Vodka may be one of the worst things for a potato to become. Fries? Mashed with gravy? Poutine? Chips/crisps? Come on.

Are we just going to get a "new" article on this every week now?

No, ghostwriting is not plagiarism. Done correctly, there is nothing wrong with it. Hard to argue this professor did it correctly

Comparing high-energy events, especially ones that cause destruction, to weapons that have been used is very common, not just in "murica"

The lack of specificity as to what kind of atomic bomb is silly, though.

Not true on either count. We just don't have enough unions and only some of us have good vacation.

I'm a noob, but often what drives up lens cost is the complexity associated with making the image better over the whole field of view. Lenses have various inherent errors (called aberrations) that are corrected by a combination of complex surface profiles on individual lens elements and stacking multiple individual lens elements to cancel each other's errors out. A scope likely only needs good correction near the center, where the user will be looking most of the time, while a camera lens needs good correction everywhere so the whole photo looks good when you view it later. Wider field of view makes good correction much more complicated and expensive very fast.

I have yet to see one of these comments with chatGPT summaries of articles that actually adds any value. Usually they are wrong or misleading. Sometimes they are just as long if not longer than the original article. This one, for example, summarizes the article that OP basically already summarized in the post description.

ChatGPT has its uses. This ain't one of them.

Was talking to a fellow rider about this video, I thought it was kinda lame. They disagreed, said after watching they went out and intentionally kept their revs higher in corners and felt more control/precision. I tried the same this past weekend and have to agree, carrying higher revs through corners than I did before made cornering feel much better

Sounds like you're already going down another path, but Fwiw the individual audio levels in the cardo app do not do exactly what their names imply imo.

Background music is effectively just music level, for instance. I assumed it was the level music dropped to when someone talks or a phone notification plays, but no. It affects the normal music volume. The app explicitly says it's for during an active call, but it is wrong. You want it at 100% always afaik.

Your phone audio settings may also be separate for different types of audio, as another comment pointed out, and these settings are NOT the same as the ones in the cardo app. You need to turn them both up.

Took a few days to ride all over Wyoming. Aside from the rain and fog obscuring all of Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons, it was amazing!
