I recently heard cars described as "an insect-like exo-skeleton for people, who then feel free to act more like insects than citizens while they're inside of it"

Looks like once you escape earths orbit at 11km/s, you still need another 30km/s delta-v to then escape the solar system

Eat exactly these seven plants in just the right ratios to get roughly the amino acids your body needs before crossing 2400 calories. No room for error. I'll join you when we've bred twice the protein quality & quantity we cu

"Doomer" is a description of someone who is predicting doom, it doesn't have to be dismissive. Barring some miracles, I'm a "doomer".

Breezewood, PA is basically a flag for american new urbanists to wave at each other, a rallying cry of what not to repeat. Funny, too, because I'd only driven through the place twice but it was still enough of a core memory for me to r
