Power brakes took away some of the utility of driving barefoot. A definite loss of feedback. But then again, in the ealy 21st century in the West is there any car that does not have power brakes ?

Coffee and sugar are like oil and water: you can try all you want to mix them but they will never form a whole. No matter how long you stir it... you take a sip, and there's a coffee flavor over here and a sugar flavor over there.

Having a shortwave (with a decent antenna) is fun. You twiddle the dial and find all kinds of goodies. Pretty soon you'll be scouring teh interwebz for programming schedules.

Good point about jargon. So every page needs a link to (or a listbox of) glossary.

Smaller docs (and more of'em) throws up the problem of findability. The author lists the usual "fixes" but I do not find it convincing. This is where I'd expect an A.I.-powered tech support chat system to help. Then smal

A good way to create a dual-use technology in order to monetize it, amortize the development costs, and achieve production economics of scale. For that matter, check out what China is doing with Ro-Ro ships. Amphibious assault -adjacent.

I'd be curious to know the specific design and capabilities of the Green Hornet's drone.
