    Solved: Odd behavior with pasted images

    I often post images by right clicking on an image somewhere on the web and selecting "copy image" then I just right click and paste it into my post. For some reason, it's creating a mouseover popup when you hover over the image that says hello world. Odd behavior you may want to check out if...

    Updates!

    Just thought I'd mention that I really dig the updates! The sentiment may not be universal but I really like the new look and feel. Well done, guys. The old setup left a huge block of whitespace off to the right. It's gone! That's not the only part I like, but a huge pet peeve of mine has...

    Is there a way to ignore a forum?

    The DIR forum was recently changed to be open rather than requiring user group membership. I don't have anything against DIR, but as I'm not a DIR diver my contributions to those threads would be at best distracting and incorrect. Now that that forums is open, the threads show up in "new...

    4200 lumen can light

    I am nearly finished with my dive light project. It's neutered at the moment, only running 50w when it was intended to run at 100w. Basically I took a defunct OMS halogen/LeadAcid can light and converted it to LED/Lithium. Although the LED chip is supposed to be 100w, the math says it's...

    I'm planning an emergency trip across the country (don't want to get into an airborne tube). I discovered a nice resource that others might find useful. I think the info is only for the United States. AAA has an interactive travel restriction map. You might need a AAA account to access it...

    How to get Cheap(er) Shipping with US Mail

    Many of us are working from home. I don't ship stuff all that often, so I just go to one of those shipping stores that overcharge to box up and send something for you. My wife is a 4th grade schoolteacher. Thanks to the plague, she's working from home. One of the things she did in class was...
