Re:West Coast Trail – The 75km/48 mile hike in Vancouver Island

As somebody who’s hiked the length of the Pacific Crest Trail, I can say the West Coast Trail is very different from a walking trail. Basically a km feels like a mile on that trail. Everything is slippery, and steep. It wasn’t designed as a hiking trail it was an escape route for shipwrecks.

The one minute par-bake also makes it so much easier and stress free to slide a fully loaded pizza onto the stone. I don’t even use cornmeal just lightly dusted whole wheat flour for the raw dough. The par-baked crust needs nothing.

My neighborhood delivers the mail on foot, while the truck is parked most of the day. The delivery man walks more than a Pacific Crest Trail thru-hiker.

Or is it possible they are future humans. Perhaps time travel is only possible backwards with no return trip forwards.

Instant Pot is 12 psi. The popcorn cannons are about 150 psi. It needs to be released at once and a blast of steam comes out with the grains.

Aereo almost got away with rebroadcasting OTA TV. It is legal by FCC rules, under specific conditions. What we need is a torrent streaming protocol for live TV. The video stream could be divided up by key frames and hashed. You could verify that you received the signal without errors. Anybody with interruption could instead download the chunk from peers. Many digital antennas can tune multiple stations at once so it’s possible to always seed popular channels. In return the antenna owners could enjoy full quality streams from channels that don’t come in as well, or that would require adjustment of the rabbit ears. I’d gladly take a few seconds delay/buffer of live TV to ensure a perfect signal.

Starboard.gg is similar but also allows JavaScript, CSS, or HTML cells to execute in the same notebook. Python has access to the DOM and can share variables with JavaScript.
