I totally agree. I have an older Ford Ranger and I hope it lasts forever because I don't see a newer truck on the market that fits your description and has as much utility as my little Ranger with a 6' bed.


Thanks! I'll have a look


Thanks, I was surprised to have reddit suggested, but a couple of my respected friends in the field also generally look at r/netsec so it must be pretty good.


Yeah it doesn't quite scratch the technical itch, but I think it's fun and informative on history and personal stories.


This is great, I'm excited to explore


It doesn't hurt that the Salt Lake is sadly shrinking currently. So it's even worse than it probably was when they arrived.


The Great Salt Lake is not only shrinking/drying, but there's concern over the exposure of dangerous elements that was once underwater

> Layers of earth that were formerly underwater have swirled into dust clouds laced with calcium, sulphur and arsenic, a naturally occurring element linked to cancer and birth defects. Exposed lakebed is also contaminated with residue from copper and silver mining.

> "If you breathe that dust over an extended period of time, like decades or longer, then it can lead to increases in different types of cancer, like lung cancer, bladder cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and such," Perry, from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, told Reuters on a recent morning on Farmington Bay.

> More than just humans are endangered. Underwater reef-like structures host a micro-organism that is food for brine shrimp, in turn an important food for birds, but the structures dry out and turn gray when exposed.

The GSL is also largely responsible for the famous Utah ski resorts

Without the lake effect producing all that snow, Utah's ski industry is in jeopardy. Without the ski industry, a very large portion of Northern Utah's desirability as a place to live goes away'


"Dating" during marriage is just a way to make sure you set aside time to keep a relationship healthy. It doesn't need to be "a permanent state of ersatz courtship". My wife and I go on hikes, work in the yard together and play board games. Many other couples do similar things. Again, it's just a way to set aside time to focus on a relationship in the hustle and bustle of life.


I found this website while looking for DIY instructions for wind chimes. It immediately threw me back to the early internet days with its simple design and rich, thorough information about a niche topic. I thought many here on HN would enjoy it as much as I have.


I’d say it’s probably good to know at least one bowline variation that locks the tail end so it can’t come loose, but that’s maybe the climber in me coming out too strong. Otherwise I’d agree with you


This isn't just a climber concern: I've had a tarp come undone in the wind due to this very issue.


Dumb point of view. He raised money to self publish. What in the world is wrong with that?

However I didn’t know about his success in raising this much money. I read Mistborn, and then I tried to read some other books but found his writing to be immature and his characters flat and not compelling. Am I in the minority?

I had just finished reading the Expanse series, which are extremely well written, so maybe it was whiplash.


No, I feel the same way about his writing. A long time ago, I read an article that said he was a practicing accountant before he took up fantasy. I'm happy that he has found success...it's nice that people can see an example of someone working hard for a dream that's so different, but for me he's never left his accountancy past. He doesn't have the "prose flow" of Jordan or Tolkien. But no one is forced to read his work...except if you want to finish WoT.
