> It's starting to rot at 25 years, lying in the rain and mud and beetles. There are logs much much older than that lying around the local woods. There are stumps over a century old. Limited to rot resistant trees, such…
I often get the blues from scanning the front page of Hacker news. Another day, another legend passing away. How could I forget when there is Always something there to remind me?
When does if x and x == nil ever evaluate to true in LuaJIT? What does the FFI have to do with it? Please explain. Edit: I think I see what you mean here. The x variable is actually a CDATA object returned by the LuaJIT…
Composting a humanure mix in sealed enclosures with a regulated exhaust would produce relatively high nitrogen compost. Deliver this locally to growing crops in a just-in-time manner for less nitrogen loss. However,…
Interesting idea, but I suspect that jurisdictions soft on squatters are almost certainly soft on vandalism and theft of contents caused by said occupants. Once the owner reclaims their property, it's then an uphill…
anyone, everyone == usually false there are exceptions == usually true
Yes, also Blind Lemon Jefferson and T-Bone Walker out of Dallas. Roy Orbison out of West Texas. Buddy Holly and Waylon Jennings out of Lubbock. Freddy King and Albert Collins. The amazing Willie Nelson, who may still be…
Methane production requires nearly a total anoxic environment. Even trace amounts of oxygen are enough for substantial suppression. Decaying roots, even if they were deeper, would be exposed to at least a little oxygen…
Another example of an article selectively picking bits and pieces to support a sensational and false conclusion. The discussion of oxygen exposure was conveniently left out. Why focus so much on the concept of…
West Texas is still in Texas.
The ultimate solution is just to live with it. The little shards are occasionally sticking up at just the right angle to force a minor puncture. It's about the same as stepping on rose or blackberry thorns or on the…
In the evenings, usually every day. However starting out, it was more like every second or third day, until the feet became stronger and I had learned gradually to run with more finesse, exact landing, and less peak…
Running completely barefoot has changed everything for me. It started several years ago with just intending to walk barefoot across park fields and down short trails. However, I soon had the urge to start running…
They're not lying. They're just assuming you're using the proper cookware.
I was visiting family in a very rural part of Texas recently. No iron crosses or confederate flags, but plenty of Trump/Pence flags and signs still around. It's probably the best place to be unvaccinated actually.…
More likely the number 10000 is now entrenched in so many varied locations in the last 50 years that it would be a monumental undertaking to try and adjust it successfully.
Area Man Finds Study Finding Him Full of Crap, Full of Crap
It seems like there are nine different ways to enter INSERT mode and they are all useful enough to be used with some frequency. So, having the pedal simply substitute for ESCAPE would be sufficient and should be able to…
During the period of about 10 years that I was using Emacs as my main editor, I invested countless hours in mastering Elisp, configuring this and that, writing custom functions, fixing abandoned minor modes that I still…
Primary school in rural Texas. We'd spend an hour a day singing songs mostly about how much God blesses Texas, America, and the Marine Corps, then finish off with The Eyes of Texas song. In our version, The Eyes ended…
Something else is even worse. Fire ant mounds hidden under thick grass. If the ground feels a little softer than it should, hop along extra quick!
The "cedar" in the Hill Country is actually the Ashe Juniper tree and it thrives in the area. It is drought tolerant in an area of frequent and prolonged drought and the hungry deer population won't touch the saplings…
San Francisco largely stopped being a happening place more than 50 years ago. What's remained is the perception.
There would still be a solar noon (sun at zenith) unless one was directly at the pole. Admitted, it would be more difficult to visually tell, the closer one got to the pole.
Why not have 2 time systems. One Earth Standard Time system for scheduling with different parts of the world and one system that is centered on solar noon at one's longitude and is updated daily at solar midnight, for…
