I work in the “traditional” media—software not journalism. Ad sales are only celebrated for the money they bring in. Any optimizations around that are only there because they serve to increase as revenues, like any readership analytics. In

For sure! I learned on something my parents ordered from Sears for $100. I think they still have it. Some of the parts look like they were composed of boxwood or balsa, and even cardboard. It was horrible and I would play until my fingers w

It definitely still happens in the acoustic world, but much like the audio software world there's more noise to signal than there was in the past. Advanced instrument makers tend to work closely with artists, while there's a much

I do. It's not enough. And uptake is a complex process, it's not as simple as supplement with a given isolate. Unfortunately, not every human body will adhere to a textbook case where a single supplemental pill or shot does the tr

I question whether people who make such remarks have ever met a farmer. I really dislike this method of trying to attain one's vision; wantonly throwing around absolutes and creating enemies out of neighbours. It's hubris personif

I have. I can't eat a lot of fats due to a bad pancreas, but I'm also B12-deficient and anemic. Doc asked me to eat more red meat on occasion, so I try to about once a week. As an attempt at an alternative, I tried one of the popu

I think farming it at scale is something some groups are already pursuing—likely mainly because it could mean big, big business. I'm out of my depth, but is there any reason it couldn't be farmed in a hothouse?

I had the pleasure of using a 35-50 year old high-pot tester when I worked for a rental company in the film industry. It was horribly dangerous but still nobody seemed to get hurt. Enough current to explode one’s innards in two wands you ju

I was pretty explicitly discussing print. But it's not new for an outlet to have a general agenda. That was virtually always the case. I'm without a doubt that the agenda of Railroad Model Craftsman magazine has an agenda in bolst

As a Canadian it's one of the pieces of history that is embedded in my mind. I grew up in a town that was burned down by American troops in the war, and pretty mercilessly at that. There's even a Wikipedia article about it... whic

Thanks for the behaviour note—it sent me on a hunt! Of course, before I'd asked I hadn't searched up whether or not it's been used in instruments. Seems like the consensus is mixed. It might be a sleeper tone wood for a speci

Anyone with any knowledge know if bog wood like this oak has been used as a tone wood? Really interesting read I didn't expect to see this morning.

I usually try and stay out of threads about publishing because I work in the industry and most of them are heated or incredibly vitriolic. (I'm employed in the industry as a software developer, not a journalist) But this time I'm

That may be, but the mechanism through which B12 is absorbed in humans is the same whether or not the animal received a supplement or not. It's the process of uptake through the diet that is the part that is concerning to humans. More

For sure. And when there is action on the pitch you're already invested in the characters so it matters to you whether or not you follow the sport itself.

One of their shows, Ted Lasso, just won some awards I think. I honestly signed up to see it, and we've stayed with it because of how good that show really was. I'm not a soccer or football fan, but it is a compelling story about h

While I agree that taking some B12 supplement is probably a good idea for a lot of people, I don't think statements like that can be made so readily. For one, nutritional studies tend to point to whole foods being the way to go to gain

B12-deficient crowd here—not just mental health. The potential impact a lack of B12 can have on you physically is catastrophic. I have to be mindful that I make myself eat a steak once in a while. On a regular day my skin lacks a lot of col

The article on vinyl production points at a market much larger than a "hipster niche"—it's the very source of the production issues they faced: the resurgent market was much larger than any company in the industry predicted.

You could say that about anyone or anything at any time and to any end including wild, unsubstantiated conspiracy theories. I don't think it's very constructive.
