One also needs to be able to filter plankton and catch fish. The ocean has increasingly fewer of these resources these days. Maybe you could survive this way 50 years ago. These days, you'd better hope you can press a plastic bottle fo

This was the first thing I noticed. Modern web development. You never know what you're going to get.

Lots of comments here about the Wikimedia Foundation's finances. You can get all that info here: https://foundation.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Wiki... You can also explore project usage statistics here:

I think your best bet is to catalog them (using LT if you like) and try to sell them as a single collection. If there are any that you identify as particular powerful, maybe sell them separately. What's going to kill you is the shippin

As a kid, I was involved in NASA's Junior Astronaut program around the time of the Challenger disaster. I will never forget the presentation where they had us hold one of the heat shield tiles in our bare hands while they blasted it wi

If you follow with some of the "ancestral genetic memory" theories, this makes sense. Our species came about in a grassland punctuated by rocky outcroppings and trees. Trees and rocks often meant safety from the predators below. O

I don't know if you meant this as a joke but it's one of the funniest things I've read on this site in a long time.

I rode my first Bird in Pacific Beach last week. They don't exist where I live. I just assumed that those trucks were contracted by the company somehow. I didn't know this whole charging economy existed. I also saw a few drunken (

Thank you for pointing this out. I'm always bemused at the overly complicated technical solutions proffered when a simple "pay a human a decent wage" solves the original problem and lots of other ones, too.

Unless, you live in a town with no local bookstore, like I do. I can drive 20 minutes to a Barnes and Noble and that's my only option.

I stopped using AbeBooks when I stopped using Amazon. ThriftBooks and BetterWorldBooks are good alternatives unless you are on AbeBooks for antiquarian books.

This scientism approach to what is a problem of crumbling connections to our selves will get us nowhere. Instead of having the best minds of our generation flailing away at marginal gains within a flawed hypothesis, maybe we should embrace

The people of the world experienced a brief glimpse of the freedom they've sold off only for the empty joy of knowing their neighbors are on vacation with their perfect children.

I feel like this could be an interesting device for a novel. It could tell the stories of all the people involved along the journey from its home to the palace of Frederick II.

I would suspect that like any production, it takes a bit for the audience's ears to adjust and then it likely goes largely unnoticed. As for critical reception, Crystal uses some of this linguistic approach to make very specific creati

That pricing isn't too bad for SMS messages but it is VERY high for emails. Simplicity has value but I'm not sure it has that much value.

For humans our current time system works pretty well. But for machines and the software that manages them, our human implementation of time is rife with inconsistencies and idiosyncrasies. All the edge cases certainly waste time and money a

I came here to make this exact point. I would further state that in tech businesses, tools shift, interests shift, and markets shift. Smart employees respond to that regardless of how amazing their manager might be.

Elite marathoners are incredibly fast. It boggles the mind. But, for me, I'm more impressed by Camille Herron breaking the world record (men's and women's) for 100 miles in 12 hours, 42 minutes, and 39 seconds which is a 7:38

In the ultramarathon world, there is increasing attention being paid to PEDs. A lot of that focus is not on the physical benefits of the drugs, though that is important, but the focus is also on the mental benefits. That is, drugs that lowe

The NYT site and app are VASTLY superior to the Post's. I subscribe to both and find that I turn to the NYT more often because the reading experience is so much better.

Subscribing to the NYT will get you access to the Magazine and the archive which holds thousands upon thousands of articles that are more like what you describe here.

One thing not to miss when you get a subscription to the NYT, Washington Post, WSJ, or other large newspaper/magazine is the access to the archive of articles. If you like long-form, feature-style articles instead of current events new

If you go to the USAJOBS site and search for National Weather Service, you get about 270 results. If you then limit that to jobs that are open to the public, you get just under a hundred jobs. So, I think both sides are telling A truth. The
