I've daydreamed about building a house with one, maybe two, channel areas midway up every wall for easy access to wiring and such. Possibly pipes as well, but that might not be needed. I've lived in places with wainscotting, incor

Man that's grim. But it seems to be the way things are going right now.

There are people pushing for more shade in cities as an adaptation for a warming world. There is some crossover with the push for a reduction in cars and generally reducing the footprint of streets. Looking at old cities in hot climates I c

But we absolutely need to have sports betting. I agree, I'd like to live in a society where a position against scamming is a good thing for the general good of our society.

I think there is a decent argument that some of the nihilism we see in the population comes from seeing a general unwillingness to jail or proportionately punish wealthy criminals. As we have heard for a long time, if the bill for breaking

Interesting, the idea that a fault is a more of a line source makes sense it is hard for me to think of a way to have a single point source slip with enough energy. I guess I've thought in subduction faults the depth of the slip might

Thanks. I guess I was thinking about looking to see if there is dna from upstream passing by. At some point I'd guess it is hard to tell if there are fish upstream but I'm not sure how to think about what factors are important. On

The article mentions other similar Ambystoma salamanders, it sounds like the others are less studied. I've come across old mexican recipes for Axolotls, probably something I'll never eat. The floating gardens were an environment t

Do you think this would become doable by private citizens in the near future for a reasonable amount of money? I've been curious about how far upstream the sculpins are in our local streams. I've seen some in pretty small streams

Grizzly bears hunted bison and were present in the plains states down through Texas and into Mexico. The last Grizzly in Arizona was killed later than the last one in California.

I used Songbird from roughly when it came out and one of the features that I like was using mp3 blogs as playlists, then downloading the files I liked. I'm sure most of them are gone now unless I happen to still have a harddrive around

Man I don't remember if it was alpha but I had pretty early access. That story might explain why some songs I remember disappeared, was this in about 2008-09? As I recall I got a ban or a timeout for not using it in Europe but I origin

Thanks, that's interesting and makes sense that there are alternate strategies with different tradeoffs. I checked the Lost River and some of the other areas on the Snake river plain. I can see how it would be hard to deal with water f

Weird, just spot checking a few places I know relatively well I see a few issues that seem like they would show up from that method. I wonder if there are issue in build up environments? Unfortunately that link is down for me. A collection

Oh I'm very much a dabbler, before I consider hypoxic training there is so much room for athletic optimization in my life. Including focusing on a few activities instead of rowing, skiing, biking, occasional bouldering, etc. I was list

I listened to a podcast recently about a hypoxic training that was interesting. The company makes masks and different levels of equipment for different uses. For me it a simple curiosity, I need to work on recovering from ~1.5 years taking

Making a guess reading the article, I'd say near Clear Lake, possibly as far south as Waldo lake and as far north as Breitenbush hotsprings. Although it looks like the claim is that similar amounts of water could be found under other r

It may be that you don't see the illness/infections unless you are looking for them or until the trees die off in sufficient numbers. I look for interesting things growing near me while walking or hiking and around here I see gall

I've mostly lived in places that you might consider gun unfriendly. I don't own a gun and am not always comfortable in places where they are too present. I know enough about safety from friends that I've avoided shooting with
