I have had a similar experience; my preferred material to work with is wood. However, as I got more into tinkering with electronics and vintage computing, I'm finding more instances where wood does not achieve sufficient strength-to-we

Speak for yourself. Some of us see the difficulty in sustaining and maintaining this fragile technology stack and have decided to do something about it. I may not be able to do all those things but it is worth learning, since there really i

I think that is only a partly correct way to think about it. I live up in the Sierra foothills in a very rural area, and based on what I see, I think the effects of wildfires are indeed negating climate policy. Allow me to explain. For peop

I don’t think this is true. I live in the middle of nowhere, but there are homes an hour out further in nowhereness with addresses that I cannot imagine could ever receive mail. Those people all have PO boxes in town.
