Why is FLIR named as such? Is there such a thing as BLIR?
|
|
|
|

Dunno - it's all a BLUR to me.
You have a FLaIR for asking questions though.

Quote: The term FLIR, which stands for “Forward Looking Infrared”, refers to the technology used to create an infrared image of a scene without having to “scan” the scene with a moving sensor, which is what was previously required. It is also the name of the largest manufacturer of thermal imaging cameras (FLIR Systems).

One would think there should be. It is, after all, a characteristic of all armies to prepare for the war they just fought, not for the coming war.

I wondered if FLIR could be used for mole abatement. Thank goodness someone on you tube already tried and failed.
Still looking for a solution.

Saw someone hunt them by stomping down the hills then come back hour later to see where they pop-up. Place a rock at each end of the new tunnel, come back again to get the direction. Mole is at one end or the other. Grab a pitchfork and skewer them right out of the ground. I was amazed when the neighbor did this a few times.

Thanks for this approach.
I might try it the next few weeks.

Well I thought it was pretty straight forward too, but like pkfox says not many people seem to be participating.
I haven't seen anything from Greg Utas in some time now... I hope he is good and well.
Please go ahead and solve OG.

Good Morning! Just signing on for the day - the puzzle is coming right up.

My mouse is kind of annoying, and it's cheap and feels as such especially compared to my Das 5Qs keyboard.
I don't like wireless, but I want comfort, and am left handed so I do not like contoured mice. While I can use my mouse with my right hand, it doesn't work with my desk layout.
And I want something that is well constructed, maybe a little heavy.
Strongly prefer laser mice.
I'm willing to pay a premium if it's specifically what I want.
Anyone have a wired mouse they fell in love with?
In the alternative to wired, I'd take wireless if it's bluetooth and has a desk mountable charging dock.
To err is human. Fortune favors the monsters.

I'm currently using a Lenovo (wired) - it's heavy enough that you know it's there without being so heavy you feel as if you are dragging a ton weight around your desk. Even shape so good for lefties and righties.
No idea on cost as I can't remember where I got it from - been using it for about 5 years

I'm left handed also, but use a right handed mouse.
Computers I shared were inevitably set up for right handed people, so I just adopted that style. I can't think of anything else I do in a right handed mode.
(Wouldn't it be nice if playing cards were omni-handed?)

Born right-handed, thanks to (right elbow) epicondylitis, I use the mouse with my left hand.

Same.
I can use my left hand to write at the same time.

I'm left handed, but back in the 1990's did a lot of basic support which involved going to the user's desk and using their setup, mostly right-handed.
Eventually, I thought "🐘 it! I may as well switch to right-handed."
30 years later, it now feels natural!
PS: I use a Logitech MX Master 2S. Useless for the left hand!

For the past two years I’ve been very happy with Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED[^]
Like you, I’m a leftie, but I switch mouse periodically to avoid RSI. That makes me prefer a wireless mouse to avoid changing the chord run. This one seems to be the perfect design: it has a super long battery life (must be a year since I last changed the battery), very good response time and a top sensitivity of 10000 DPI (I use it at 5000).
All the Bluetooth mice I’ve had, had the bad habit of disconnecting every now and then so, although I like the idea of Bluetooth, I had to give up for the moment. This one has a receiver that occupies a usb port, but if you were considering a wired mouse you already accepted that.

For the past few years I've been using silent mice by Verbatim because I got annoyed by all the clicking.
I have simple needs.

The one I'm using is a "Staples" wired laser mouse; about $15-$20. Surprisingly good. Nice weight; left or right grip; textured thumb wheel.
Bought 2 or 3 different "cheap" ones at the time out of frustration of never finding one around when I needed (a new) one. They all worked out.
