At my local grocery store in Massachusetts, some fake meat products are now displayed in the meat section. The thing is though, they (Beyond, etc.) are sometimes more expensive than meat! In some contexts its considered the premium product,

Its just for clean installs, but at work I can PXE boot a system and use a MS tool called Lite Touch to install Windows plus many software packages. It works pretty well. I can also PXE boot into some other operating systems and get my doma

In Cuzco Peru (very touristy) a few years ago I noticed that a lot of the feral dogs were outfitted with football (soccer) jerseys, often famous international teams. So, I think they would get a food donation advantage from fans of that tea

If someone is reviewing backpacks, zippers are also critical. I bought what I thought was a decent hiking pack from what we Americans call an "Army surplus store" for what seemed a good price. After a couple months two of the zipp

There was etiquette though. I was taught as a child that it was rude to call people at meal times, or late at night. Because answering machines were rare, people would usually answer a ringing phone in case it was an emergency. I think even

There used to be a restaurant chain called "Boston Market" (there are a few left). One of their signature products was cooked rotisserie chickens. What killed them was not a direct competitor, but the fact that Costco did, and sti

In this case the OOF points of light are actually vertically oriented ovals. The idea being its reminiscent of "1974" style anamorphic lenses. Its an affectation not unlike digital retro photo filters, except that its the physical

I wonder how they define a "civil aviation accident"? In places like Alaska, people routinely land at sites which are not airports. If someone has a hard landing, there could be some damage to the aircraft with no injuries. Do the

I'm not sure about this, but I think the correct term might be "negative sum." The winners gain less than the losers lost for the reasons you mentioned.

Christmas tree farms. They plant tiny forests and cut down every tree, running saws for many hours. I grew up near Christmas tree farms in Western Oregon, and its an odd but significant agricultural activity in certain areas. Over multiple

Maybe you live in new neighborhood. Last Summer a house a couple blocks from me burned, and while the fire dept. arrived quickly it was obvious that all the contents of the house were lost. Most of the neighborhood was built around 100 year

I currently live in the Boston area in an apt. built in 1927. Steam heat. I keep my windows cracked open pretty much all Winter because even with the radiator turned off, I still get too much heat from all sides. Yes, I do have wire mesh sc

People started to have short-grass lawns because they were pretending they were an estate house with livestock. That's a much worse waste of resources in my opinion, because most Americans have forgotten why they were doing it. It a zo

RAW formats can/usually have a thumbnail/preview embedded. I convert all of my Nikon RAW files to Adobe DNG (Adobe's RAW format) and I have a Leica camera that uses DNG natively. When I convert, I can chose to have a full-siz

I would say yes, like Norway. If you have money coming out of nowhere the social stuff doesn't much matter as long as you can keep people from stealing your wealth.

I just say outright that the "special circumstances" means that their wealth comes from a magic hole in the ground and not something their society was capable of creating or producing.

Cosina is a very underappreciated company in lens manufacturing. They made all the Leica M mount Zeiss branded lenses, and they've gained a lot of new life making lenses with close-flange adaptability for all mirrorless systems. They a

Driving is heavily regulated in terms of what kind of cars are legal and how and where they can be operated. Its just a matter of degrees and cost/benefit as assessed by the public. We don't ban driving outright but be ban all kin

A font isn't just the letterforms, there's also all the metrics, spacing, kerning, and OpenType features like ligature replacement. Also modern OpenType releases contain many languages which makes the metrics even more complex. Me

The grooves could have served some functional purpose as a tool. Could it have been attached to a cord and used as a sling? Some tools are used to create other tools, so it could be additionally difficult to speculate as to its purpose. Ma

It seems like what is needed is a full-face, Snell tested helmet that accommodates a turban. It might have to be a bit bigger, but there's probably some market for this.

I picked up the 10.1 CD at my university bookstore. It was still incredibly slow. I'm pretty sure I was using it on a beige G3 PPC with 256MB of RAM. I thought it was super cool, the new version of NeXT, but I was still doing actual wo

I have an older iMac with a 3rd party VESA adapter, which holds the iMac through a circular hole in the back of the original stand. I actually prefer this because the foot of the iMac functions as a little shelf below. I usually set my phon
