The other idiosyncratic pub in Oxford is the Turf Tavern to be found down some twisty passages off Holywell Street. But my 1970s Oxford undergrad experience was daily pie, beans, and chips in the much more normal Kings Arms opposite the Bod

Hated the Rust Monsters on level 8 that would destroy any decent armor you had managed to enhance and rarely survived the Umber Hulks on level 18 with their ability to confuse you and the huge damage they did. Never found the amulet. Got fa

Natural career progression is through initial growth (believer/grinder), plateau (slow transition to coaster/grifter), mid-life crisis (believer/grinder in different area/personal life), crash landing/retirement (co

I agree - looks sleek, powerful, muscular, elegant, refined and I like the slight boxiness rather than everything rounded like an E Type. But then I like the Cybertruck too.

60 years ago Cox's was by far my favorite apple for flavor but they could get soft and mealy in storage. Gala is the closest descendant that is much crisper and still has a lot of the Cox's flavor. I've never liked crisp or a

In retrospect the best feature of jQuery is its longevity - could have learned one framework and used it for 20+ years. Better than learning a new framework/toolset every 18 months which is the path I took. However React/Vue/

Regularly attended the liquidations in Sunnyvale around 2002-2005 after I was laid off from my dot com but the only thing I could make any profit on was docking stations and the associated power adapters since at that time they were specifi

Not sure why it took 2 days for the penny to drop but obviously given a sufficiently strong cable can repeat this on the Earth-L1 side and end up with an Earth-Moon tether. Would be interesting to find out how close to earth a currently ava

Could park a starship at Earth-Moon L1 and extend a cable toward the Moon which in between L1 and the Moon would pull itself down under its own weight. Starship would need to position itself on the Earth side of L1 to maintain center of mas

Nazi didn't resonate, besides he isn't literally a Nazi. All the other faults I mentioned though are literally true. Need to find the thing that makes him look weak to the demographic you are targeting and hammer on it.

Arguably, Hillary 2016 was the best candidate by far. Nobody thought Trump was better until he won. If you say she had baggage, it was nothing to Trump's baggage, but there's a huge double standard based on gender.

1) It's very hard for a woman to be elected president. 2) The electorate demographic without college degrees is more likely to make an emotional decision that is more easily manipulated with Trump-style bombast. Not in a battleground s

There are bad examples of land use like agricultural monoculture and suburban lawns but if you compromise with nature it can be a thriving ecosystem albeit one designed to benefit humans. https://youtu.be/wd-b_C7a_es?si=lLAP

The vision of big lakes in NV valleys is way more water than is needed for viable habitation. See for example the permaculture project in Jordan "Greening The Dessert" https://youtu.be/MAousRO0e3g?si=wsCNQwQrH8Z8y

Not to hijack the thread but before cassettes became popular there were 8-track tapes that were designed for car players primarily in the US. The design is amazing a continuous play tape that doesn't have to be rewound. https:/&#

Cassettes in the 1970s were great for recording music off FM radio and also for making copies of LPs you owned (or borrowed) that you could play in the car. I bought very few if any prerecorded cassettes as the sound quality didn't see

Design of a 100 mile subway might be 2 lines in each direction a fast and a slow. Fast might stop every 10 or 20 miles and run in the center. Slow would run in an outer track that shares the other side of the fast track station platforms an

How is transport handled? Even with a high capacity subway with stops every mile you could still be 1/2 mile from your destination. Also if a train stops everywhere even if only on demand it will still take forever to get from one end

Of course they can sell the seat - airlines oversell all the time since they know some people won't show. Just need to predict that with a few statistics and sell some extra tickets for the skiplagged leg. I think airlines should be re

Also the nut being hit is restrained by the string whereas the hitting nut can go in any direction or simply rebound. Cracks may start at the hole in which case being hit is worse than hitting on average.

Conkers are usually oblate spheroids and the dangling one has its largest radius spot on top usually - thinking back I never thought to string one differently not sure if that was allowed. So the person taking the hit can aim to hit with th
