A few years ago I was involved in purchasing a commercial building for split purposes. After viewing several spaces it became clear how critical plumbing location were to thinking about how a space could be used. We…
Ah, I did a poor job conveying what I meant. You are correct of course. I was referring more to a change in the culture of the board and methods members could use to nominate board members. Also to clarify we were…
REI changed about 25 years ago and it took a while for people to notice/the changes to filter through enough. Was talking recently about similar changes with MEC in Canada with a family friend who joined MEC as member…
I remember in 2018 there were only 18 Kokanee counted spawning from Lake Sammamish. "A striking ebb in the number of Kokanee salmon in Lake Sammamish, just east of Seattle, has officials worried that extinction is…
You can also buy mate with mint mixed in. I accidentally bought a kilo of it a while ago and I've been working through it slowly.
Did you see this last year about the origins of potatoes? I'd like to get into grafting fruit trees, my uncle was a major fruit eater and filled the yard with many varieties of apples and pears. The apple tree where I…
Depending on how far back you want to look at electric cars you can find them for pretty cheap. Sub $5k versions from 10 years ago were tempting recently when my partner needed a repair on the current (ICE) car. It…
Yeah I occasionally will buy a ticket or two. Not often, but sometimes on a whim I get them. I figure it is probably a slightly healthier version of buying the king size kitkat or snickers in the checkout line. The cost…
I think maybe you aren't the target market. Just like I don't understand my friends who somehow sink hours and hours into pay to win games. There are fake games, and even leagues, made specifically for people to bet on.…
I've been doing some cal/QC functions recently after years not touching it. Since I last did it I've forgotten some of the knowledge that is just assumed. The answers to my questions are documented, but not in a places…
Weird, I see no signs of food delivery being effectively outlawed. When I'm in a restaurant or passing by on foot or in my car. I'm not convinced that food delivery is a net good for a culture, but that is a different…
I've seen this in Europe since I was pretty young as well. Usually they were little entries on the edge of the placemats that looked like classifieds. Advertising hotels, museums, and maybe shops? I can't fully picture…
I know someone who started an elder care business with explicitly this purpose. He stopped working in the more conventional medical system because he saw an opportunity. Unsure how it is going at this point, I haven't…
Are there any places in the US where you could get the stock as easily? Ignoring the cost differences for now, I'm more thinking about where you might want to be if you wanted to build machines like this as a small…
Maybe you can volunteer to send a sample to the Living Snow Project next year! It looks like they have samples from California, I've missed my opportunity in the last few years due to family stuff.…
Yes! A friend and I were just talking about running through blogs and downloading songs in Songbird.
It seems unlikely that we can grow enough coffee in Puerto Rico and Hawaii to make up for the difference. It might be good for those producers though. Do you mean the lion's share of food imports or imports in general?…
Coffee and chocolate are not domestically produced, nor are bananas which are like the potatoes of the fruit world in terms of how productive they are. There are lots of nondiscretionary products that take a while to…
Interesting, I may need to try this out. I tend to have a similar approach but it sometimes results in keeping tabs open for along time, or dealing with a restore previous session everytime I start up. I keep bookmarks…
270Trillion kWh is about 1.5 × the total energy from the sun that hits the earth in one hour. I'm not sure if that helps, and the trillion-kilo is kinda gross.
Lots of fruit trees need an accumulated number of cold hours every year. I've seen warnings about some plantings already having issues with not producing enough fruit.
Much of it used to be a seasonal wetland/lake until the water was diverted into canals or pumped over the mountains.
I was curious about how likely deaths actually are from Volcanoes in Iceland. It looks like 15 deaths in the last 500 years with an unknown number possibly in the hundreds in the 500 years before that. But also ~9000…

I happened to pick up How the Cows Turned Mad by Maxine Schwartz a couple weeks ago. I'm not finished with it yet, but in the section about Kuru there was a comment about how cases happened at least 4 decades after the…
