Anyone know if the Pi will work with a Chameleon3 USB3 camera from flir.com? If anyone has computer vision coding experience with a setup like this, pls email me (profile), contract opp potentially.

Google Trends shows a marked increase in searches for hiccups from 2004-present, also.

Love the edginess and design, but taking the user off-site (to the oflows.net domain, whatever that is) for sensitive application forms doesn't build a lot of trust imo.

botornot.com was registered in 2006. Someone was forward-thinking.

I use Google Alerts for this sort of thing, and was surprised to not see it mentioned on your site when discussing alternatives. What makes BrandChirps better than GA?

I wonder how many companies Google has wounded/killed with their search infopanels. For example, yesterday I searched for “speedtest” expecting Ookla’s speedtest.net to be the top result. Nope, now it’s a one-click speed test offered by Google at the top. Great for users, devastating for the sites at the top of the SERPs.

Not just you. I input $3,500 rent, and it used nearly double that for the calculations. Hugely misleading.

So true. Be aware that you may have no symptoms in your legs at all, and still develop pulmonary embolisms.

As an otherwise healthy and fit adult male, my first symptom of my PE was a sharp stabbing pain in my chest when inhaling. Thinking I was having a heart attack, I self-admitted to the ER. I had 12 PEs in my lungs, and with ultrasound they found a 3" long deep vein thrombosis under my left knee. My left leg had absolutely no symptoms or pain. My PEs and DVT resolved with a 6-mo course of blood thinners, but I was lucky. PE mortality rate is around 15-20%.

Set your "stand up" timer for every 90 minutes and actually pay attention to it! And it wouldn't hurt to take a daily baby aspirin (probably should ask your doc first).

Sure they do, depends on your ear size. Happens to me if I simply bend over. (Still love my AirPods, but am forced to use silicone wraps on them if doing anything active with them.)

Very cool, Tyler. Just applied. :)
