I don't know. Europe had the opportunity to make themselves energy independent multiple times; instead they doubled down on Russian oil, and in response to the latest invasion, they instead doubled down on Qatar natural gas... Germany

The slip rings are not in the middle of the motor, they're on the butt. I know car makers don't always try to make things serviceable, but it'll be hard to make it hard to replace. Probably the only issue will be needing to r

It matters because of opening up cheaper ways to install them. For example, in some Scandinavian country they're cheaper than fence panels, so they just use them for fences, and the power they generate is a nice bonus.

Russian(?) scientists during the siege of... Leningrad? starved to death while surrounded by seed potatoes. The people you mention are failing society, not the other way around.

XFCE. Supports the tray plugins, has GUI settings, I don't ever have to use the CLI to configure it (actually... I'm not even sure how I would...).

I am not GP, but I don't have a problem with a single contact. What I find really neat is after hours of just one, the vision in my other eye is improved for a while; I can actually see decently from the non-contact eye when I remove t

Cattle grazing is helpful for fields left fallow, but succession planting is far superior in so many other ways. You can mix plants which repel particular pests with those susceptible to them (and other beneficial strategies), topsoil is gr

I have/make rice starch glue. Can you put it on food? How are you supposed to know whether it's food safe? Okay, so you don't trust LLM, so you go to a website instead. And... LLM-generated pages are SEO'd to get the t

Maybe ironically, but software and robotics should allow us to scale regenerative agriculture in a way that doesn't leave everyone in poverty. We already have lasers mounted to trailers doing precise weeding instead of broad herbicide

Having the chemical in one location doesn't make it active all over, you need to disperse it. Like you need to shake glow-in-the-dark bracelets.

It does seem like it. However, there's the game theory problem/positive feedback loop where each parent who defects and drives their kid makes it more dangerous for all the other kids who are still walking; iterate a few times and

There is separation, at least here in the US, where basically all Montessori schools are private and can choose who to take, so the extreme lows aren't present. The other aspect is kids' abilities are masked by how fast kids grow

Had something like this at Google. There's a service running as root (or equivalent) which receives your desired command to run, and it has to get authorization from another user for the specific command to run, then runs it. That make

I'm lobbying my city to make it safer to walk to school. But Traffic Engineers care only about the 85 percentile speed of car drivers and not equity in movement. Non-car users are not important in the United States to the only role cit

They need to just be banned on public roads. Require what Europe requires for pedestrian safety and visibility. They still have trucks.

Thanks for investigating deeper than I did. I don't know where else to look. However, unlike the post I originally replied to, every homeschooled adult I know is doing better than average, but anecdote vs anecdote isn't helping.

Vermonters might not want that because they hold outsized influence on the direction of the country, but then they shouldn't pretend to believe in Democracy. So, yes, 50 million people should have more say over the country's direc
