now that e-bikes are so prevalent, I wonder if we will see more regenerative braking. i live in a place with large hills that have long descents over miles, and it would be nice to not be wearing out my brakes physically while controlling m

it is worth noting that if you were to measure by degree of subsidy, the planned output for nuclear has not really budged, but wind and solar are exploding in China in comparison. > Even in China, nuclear power is little more than an aft

Japan operates a kind of hybrid system where the subway (at least in Tokyo) mostly consists of tracks that connect to private operators on either end, and a train will just run through from the private parts of the track to the subway parts

it does note that it's satire. a lot of drivers in America have reflexive dislike of roundabouts. this one probably is not good for a DDI because it is also supposed to be a bus interchange for a BRT project, and the buses will stop at

Ancient poor Romans did not have kitchens, both for space reasons (Ancient Rome had a million people in it in a fairly tight spot) and for fire risk. https://liisaeyerly.com/2025/10/22/poor-vs-wealthy-dining-i

I think what is so interesting is also, if you peel back the curtain, most recipes have standardized at a fairly recent point in their national mythos, depending on how long that is. Recipes are a snapshot of economic and technological adva

We tried talking about sea level rise and land area inundation, and more severe storms, and amongst many the collective response was to stick their fingers in their ears. The real conversation we should have is about money talking; a huge a

Why not both? The current executive has missed the mark on appointments pretty badly a number of times due to the prizing of loyalty over competency.

There also needs to be, probably, more party diversity. The fact that the current president has such a stranglehold over their party is pretty unprecedented; normally, the big tent parties have lots of little camps with power bases that som

IME septoplasty was bad for like a week (constantly nosebleeding more than I’ve ever done in my life) but in the grand scheme of surgery its a fairly low pain, fast recovery, at least compared to other ones I’ve done like ACL construction.
