Amtrak sleepers have showers in the bedrooms and the roomettes share 2 per car.
“Doctor gave me a pill, and I grew a new kidney!”
I watched this film last night and hadn't seen the news in a couple days. Was strange to wake up to this coverage
Where I live in New Mexico has consistently poor reception withing about 60 miles. My Spotify is almost always in offline mode since it chokes on poor signal. Radio and TV have repeaters on a nearby mountain that…
Yes most rentals I've lived in and and visited have these cheap recirculating hoods that do nothing for combustion byproducts, if they have a range hood at all.
I had a similar experience at a mid-sized nonprofit. We would get generous pricing from vendors with reasonable terms, then the next time around I would find we were 5 months late paying them. The internal answer was…
This might consistently be my favorite channel on YouTube. Kirsten and Faircompanies do very good work documenting interesting and innovative examples of sustainable living, building, growing, etc.…
Fwiw, my definition of conservative in this case is someone with views traditionally in line with the Republican and Libertarian platform. Someone who tends to vote Republican and tends to view things through that lens.…
I disagree that most "make a difference" fields are dominated by liberals. In my experience, many non-profit board members tend to be wealthy conservatives - bankers, car dealership owners, real estate brokers, etc.…
My perception is that very few specialized hourly jobs start above $20-25, and when I hear business owners talk they seem to feel that's robbery (it isn't). Without any research or context, I'd expect a first-time bike…
I lived in the area after completion of the big dig and often commuted through the tunnel. While it may have been a boondoggle and it definitely didn't fix traffic, it makes quality of life in the city much better, both…
Low effort post that doesn't cite sources and misuses punctuation.
Neat, and very cool that they're open sourcing design and software elements. The video had me thinking that this kind of thing must have been made before. It's exactly the sort of thing they used to sell in the skymall…
How about a magnetic base on each piece and a table built on top of a pair of xyz movements holding two magnets. That way the brain can at any time grab its piece and make a move while nudging any obstructions out of…
As of March 2022 it sounds like they are targeting mid-2023 to pass final testing, after which the plane would enter full production [0]. There's certainly many F-35s in service worldwide though. [0]:…
I think partly this comes from the general perception of the F-35 program as a boondoggle and failure combined with the decades long production hell this film went through. Also the sponsorship from Lockheed Martin.…
I clicked comments first curious if this would be Doug's video. His reviews and retro reviews are so well constructed and thorough and, as with the cars, his "quirks and features" really shine through.
Quite amazing journalism. There is a lot of value in such a thoughtful and traveled on-the-ground report. More than once I was reminded of a portion of Herman Wouk's novel The Winds of War that portrays a journey and…
Agreed on this and it predates Covid, though has gotten worse. Suvs, cheaper sports cars, and above all, pickup trucks, are the models I see most often. It's worse when driving our prius, but happens in any vehicle.…
The soil at my former house (built around 1920) on a major street in a large college town, next to a bus stop, tested for significantly elevated lead and PCBs. I believe the soil on the other side of the building tested…
I've run the Surface Pro 7 i5 since 2019, which replaced a SP4 i5 (though that had a fan, which I'd tuned to almost never come on). For most things it's more than enough and always silent. I sometimes point a fan at it…
Based on my limited experience with pre-revolution Egypt, the answer would be both. A large part of society was tip/bribe based, tourism in particular, and corruption or incompetence is pretty common. The political…
Not only is the title a deliberate Marx reference, the article itself is about an elitist government banning lower-class entertainment. "This title is misleading because this article is about something I don't…
Specifically, the previous Dept of Ed administration torpedoed the program. When the first class of PSLF candidates hit the 10 yr mark in 2017, 99% were rejected [0]. [0]:…
In the US, an 18 year old is too young to drink, old enough to vote, old enough to send to war, old enough to be tried as an adult in a court of law, and too young to rent a car. It seems our age of majority is already…
