It also works surprisingly well for people in cities, such as myself when I'm at home in London. Fortuitously, I'm so glad to have checked this just now as apparently there's going to be a Starlink train going over where I am

Do you have a link to some stats on this? I've seen London's recycling set up and perhaps it's not covering 100% of everything, but it's an impressive and significant capability, so my perspective on matters isn't q

You need to work on your self-promotion a bit more - both here ( :) ) and on your website: https://svija.love/ I must admit, this isn't the most inspiring landing page for someone like me, who could be your exact targe

It's amusing for me to read that as I feel the exact opposite where it comes to illumination. I dearly miss the feel of warm, orange yellow lighting from incandescents indoors and sodium lighting outdoors. My main beef with LEDs is bei

Feels to me like there's a lot of 'a certain type of energy' in the article and some of the comments here. I can't really understand the level of bile being generated by these photos, real, semi-real, not-quite real or o

I can't touch 'vegan cheese' made with coconout oils for this reason - for some reason it leaves me feeling like I have a film of oil down the back of my gullet that I can't shake off for an hour or two afterwards. It&#x

I genuinely can't tell if you're being sardonic here. This being HN, I guess I have to assume you're being earnest.

I think something that could accumulate lead would be highly useful, given we've spent much of the last century indelicately vapourising it over everything.

Yeah. great. It's too late though, isn't it? The damage is done. 'Thanks'. 'Well done'.

I don't think I've ever seen a German bakery anywhere, and not here in London. French, Polish and Italian bakers, yes. I know too that Poles go on ceaeslessly about how wonderful their neutronic matter rye bread is, despite it fil

I've never heard that before. France and Italy, yes, I suppose to a degree - central Europe though?

Yeah, totally this - I recently cropped my Adobe CC suite down to just Illy, which i need , and bought Affinity's wares to replace, but it's no contest. Aside from literal decades of muscle memory, there's just too many spee

Important to note that, at least in my experience, most of the 'plastic bags' in Italy are the compostable kind. In the UK they're still in the minotrity (I've only seen our version of the Co-Op offer them, for instance)

So the artist has been trained in the ways of the brush, but was only exposed to 32 examples of another's work to copy it specifically henceforth? I'm still impressed/terrified.

It managed that from just 32 example illustrations? Irrespective of everything else here, I find that alone hugely impressive. ed - for 'hugely impressive' also insert 'slightly terrifying'.

Well blow me, I had no idea it was thusly limited. What a weird decision!

Presumably the problem there is that even a sea of expendable labour's useless, if what you need is a Von Braun[1]-esque figure and a paddling pool of engineering talent... . [1] Korolev, Musk, &c.
