I'm partial to the secondary graffiti that accumulates over time when half-hearted attempts to cover up graffiti with leftover paints seem to create a whole new mural of its own. https://www.designboom.com/art/bria

Not to mention you get a 30% boost in solar insolation by snagging the light before it goes through the atmosphere, plus you don't have the resistive losses due to heat building up in a land-based solar cell.

Sure, on a per square foot basis, but the requirements and limitations are decidedly different. I wouldn't dismiss it out of hand, at least not on a 10-30 year time frame.

I too am fairly drug-averse. And after 40 years of avoiding all drugs but caffeine and alcohol, I dipped my toe into psilocybin and found not only was it profoundly therapeutic in terms of self-acceptence, self-love, and anxiety-reduction,

IF your job is largely dedicated to data analysis and IF you don't need to communicate or hand off the raw work to a non-technical audience, and IF you've got the time and support to learn those skills, then you're probably r

Not sure about learning from scratch, but ExcelJet.net is consistently the cleanest, clearest resource I've found to date.

Agreed - the constraints of a limited set of bricks really forced creativity. However, there's been a huge paradigm shift in terms of what is "allowed" as far as odd brick placements so the realm of what's possible to bu

Imagine drawing a circle with a radius of your error each time you guess. After the second guess, there will be only two intersecting points. A careful third guess should tell you which of the two it is.

It's derived from the Greek "soma," relating to the body I have no evidence for it, but to me, the context of 1984 suggests the latin "somnus," to sleep or dream

1. The wind may not be blowing here and the sun may not be shining here but I guarantee it's windy and sunny somewhere. Given a well-structured grid and energy market, this ceases to become a problem. This is a political problem

Take a friend who has experience and is willing to hold your hand through it. It's almost certainly not necessary, but the piece of mind is priceless.

When I took my job, I was car-free, so I chose an apartment 2 blocks from my office. That has given me so many benefits, not the least of which is going home on lunch for fall-asleep naps in my own bed. However, lacking that transition time

Agreed. My baby steps often require baby steps ad nauseum until I arrive at something so ridiculously simple I can bring myself to do it right now. Alternatively, most of my housework starts off as, "just wash dishes for two songs...
