Activity for Olin Lathrop‭

Type On... Excerpt Status Date
Comment Post #279196 Right, but I couldn't find activity anywhere, whether in the question, the answers, or any of the comments. I have clarified this in the question.

Comment Post #279090 @Charlie: Today another imported question popped up. I looked, but didn't see any recent activity. If old imported posts keep popping up, then we should consider deleting all the old content.

Comment Post #278918 Why not print out a small rod or something, put it in the freezer, and see how brittle it is for yourself?

Comment Post #277390 Seems like one of those Tupperware-like sealable plastic containers is an obvious possibility. Why do you think that won't work?

Comment Post #277165 @James: I'm only addressing the one statement I quoted in isolation, having nothing to do with which wheels are driven. This is about the basic physics that the total contact area is proportional to load, regardless of how many tires that load is spread across.

Comment Post #277044 @Peter: "Bug" is such an unscientific term that I'm interpreting it as "anything small and creepy-crawly". I'd even include spiders. Real entomologists refer to a specific subset of insects as "bugs", but I doubt that is what's intended here.

Comment Post #276967 There are probably various critters that frequent the area, whether flooded or not. Probably most of them make good mink chow.

Comment Post #276934 Not a direct answer, but there are many great places in Yosemite outside the valley, and they tend to be less crowded. This might be a good time to explore them instead.

Comment Post #275872 Some cropping would make this picture better, in my opinion. There is a lot of empty sky. I'd probably keep the same aspect ration, but cut to 2/3 in each dimension, keeping the bottom edge.

Comment Post #275827 In all the years I was on Stack Exchange, I never really understood the community promotion ads. I can see why SE would put up advertising, since that's their business. It didn't make sense to me why the community would want to advertise something else. That said, is it really fair to use the mech...

Comment Post #75056 I'm not going to downvote, but I think using something disposable should be one of the *last* options, not the first and most-upvoated suggestion.

Comment Post #275806 @Monica: To "continue where you left off", you need a lot more than just a clone of the original site. Data doesn't make a site. It takes a core of dedicated users, and then getting the word out that the new site is a good place to get answers.

Comment Post #275807 That worked. Thanks. I did notice "Link to your SE account" before, but it wasn't clear what that was. I didn't really want to "link" the accounts, but rather start fresh here. I would have understood something like "Claim my answers imported form SE", or "Merge with account imported from SE". I...

Comment Post #275781 @James: The point is to show what the consensus is, so a vote counts just as much whether it's added to an existing positive or negative tally. I must say, I am disappointed in the widening of scope compared to the SE Great Outdoors.
