Most of the literature attributes the walls to early settlers and colonists. The vast amount of walls especially in places that were never settled makes this hypothesis wrong and outright misleading. Some walls were created by colonists but

I disagree. My goal is to retire early so every time I actively choose not to buy that coffee and instead save is days off my retirement ETA. If you learn to act frugal during you income generating years you will more easily live with less

Most of the water still moves down stream. You only pump upstream while the sun is out _and_ you have spare capacity from solar. Essentially you use the reservoir on the top of the dam as a battery. You charge it up when you have extra ener

You cannot destroy money, the government literally adds money at any time (physical and electronically). Deleting 100k would be a drop in the bucket. Often when the government creates new money it's given to the banks who loan it to th

About 10 years ago I wrote wiki software called Pylowiki (Pylons/Python) which I still use occasionally to write notes that don't really fit in my personal blog. Demo of it here: https://www.foxhop.net

I think its also excessive, which is why I don't do this. I suppose people talk about what they are focusing on, and my wife focuses on her children.

Do we think this is maybe more of a mom trait than a dad trait? I know I have posted maybe a couple images of my children (2, 7, and 11) over the last 11 years. My wife on the other hand posts at least twice a day with images and quotes. I

I have a family of 5 (three young children). We don't bother trying to recycle paper or cardboard anymore. We compost it or use it in the garden as sheet mulch. Still our recycling bin fills faster than our "trash" due to pac

I wonder if we as tech creators can utilize these techniques to actually do good for the person, their life, and humanity as a whole, instead of begging for their attention in the virtual/simulated, could we help them with their real l

In the newer Mario Cart games, a person in last place has like an 80% chance to get a bullet bill power up which helps them catch up.

Wow, this is really awesome and really cool! First I've heard of it. Just tested it and it worked great. Is it possible to audit the tech? Is Firefox send open source?

Daniel Mackler is amazing. Although to be fair, his YouTube channel is basically free Therapy sessions for the masses (and himself). I subscribed a while back and watch all his videos

Most of the time, my tabs are holding information that I'm using to complete a task. Once I complete the task I close any tabs related to it. Sometimes I leave a URI in my code as a reference to find the ideas again. In this case the t

Speaking of heat pumps, I installed one 2 months ago, and dropped my electricity bill for heating water from $85/mo to around $25/mo. This saved me around 69%! Reference: https://russell.ballestrini.net/hybrid-hot-

I agree with you on this. I wrote Remarkbox [0] to work without the need for Javascript. Remarkbox does "power up" [1] when Javascript is enabled. This means it works for completely static sites, with or without the _need_ for Jav
