Samuel slater is exactly who I was thinking of, I didn't know the Lowell story but it looks like I should do some reading about it. From that link it seems like they were involved in stealing ideas for similar machines…
The transit strikes where they operate lines without collecting fares are a good example of this.
It might be better to find a tailor/repair shop. I lost a favorite pair of ski pants when I sent them in for azipper replacement. Not sure if something got mixed up in the paperwork but I requested they be returned, not…
I thought this was going to be the seaweed chicharron snacks. There's surprisingly not bad, in fact I might prefer them to almost any packaged chicharrones. If they'd been called seaweed puffs they might appeal to a…
Recently there was an interesting discussion on here about a blog post discussing pigs in medieval times. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33318215
There seemed to be pretty good indications that Russia has blown up things in the EU in the last decade. For example https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/apr/28/bulgarian-pros...
The firm that owned Haggen paid for most of those stores by selling off most of the real estate and sticking the stores with rental payments. As I recall they expanded into CA, AZ, and NV before failing. I don't have a…
As I understand it nachos weren't invented in America and were originally chips with cheese and jalapenos. The platter style nachos came later. Here's a link to support the claim.…
A similar attempt to recreate a historic to happened recently with a descent of the Grand canyon on a tule reed boat of sorts. https://www.blm.gov/blog/2021-02-24/tule-reed-boat-runs-gran... There's a video here…
Agreed on the minimetro feel! I thought it was live too, I wonder if there's a way to do that? I like that you can see both the s and u bahn, though I kind of wish the abstract map would carry over.
I found it easy to read on my phone in light mode, still easy to skim in dark mode but the losing team text is too dark and I have to focus to read it.
I think twice I've read a post and thought oh hey that sounds like X. Mostly because of some niche knowledge that I've seen on here before and possibly interacted with. It's possible I'm strange though, I rarely read…
Kind of like speeding and red light cameras, though they could be placing small enough microphones that you wouldn't see them while driving/walking by. Of course that seems like a small nitpick given the content of the…
An egregious example from the first link: Police said ShotSpotter, a surveillance system that uses hidden microphone sensors to detect the sound and location of gunshots, generated an alert for that time and place.…
I like that, Bandcamp lets artists do something similar in that they can suggested albums/tracks ahead of the payment algorithmically selected suggestions. In the early 2000s I remember lots of blogs about music where…
Strangely quite a few seem to be drop shipped coffee. Which I didn't know was a thing, but seems to be a real enough business. I'm sure there are plenty of other brands doing it too.…
There's some interesting history of the decent machine/business in this video. A friend sent it to me when we were discussing what it would take to build an espresso machine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKA2COJRt6M
I like Herkimer but somehow my partner recognizes the taste anytime I brew it to share. I'm not sure how given that I usually can taste differences but it's been consistent and impressive.
Unfortunately the JIS standard was phased out and merged with the ISO standard for Phillips screws. I'm sure there's a detail I'm missing about how that was done, but it's harder to find JIS stuff than it used to be.…
There was recently an article about that in the New York times. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/17/climate/peecycling-farmin...
That first page links to the first person I thought of. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lyttle
They demolished the crossing of I90 just south of the trestle in Bellevue. And now it looks like they're putting in a pedestrian bridge to replace it. I'm not sure why they had to remove the tunnel in the first place. I…
Check out the SWE chart here https://cssl.berkeley.edu/ There was another chart of snowfall in Mammoth this season that was striking, essentially the Sierra would have gotten no snow this winter if not for the huge snow…
Nokia started as a paper mill taking advantage of hydropower, then after starting to generate electricity they combined with a rubber company and started working on cables. They seem like a pretty good example of…
