And on the West Coast, massively powerful searchlights were scanning for Japanese planes[1]. The pre-radar location and tracking methods are fascinating to me. This guy[1] restored one and uses it as an advertising searchlight. I got to tal

And RSI. In the chicken processing plants near where I grew up, the workers were expendable. You're worked hard until you get injured and then discarded/fired/pushed out and replaced.

An interesting case where estate taxes are a problem was recently mentioned by a high school classmate who's a farmer in southern Arkansas: Many small farmers are land rich but cash poor. The property their family has been working for

Solar and Wind aren't fossil fuels. That said, we need a whole heck of a lot more of them to replace fossil fuels. But, as other commenters have stated, if you can charge these batteries during the day and use the power at night, then

My friend, San Francisco photographer Adrian Mendoza[1], keeps a couple PowerMacs around to run graphics software that never made the OS X transition[2]. It's interesting that certain kinds of art production[3] is becoming harder and h

I saw the Roadshow cut at our local art house. It was beautiful. IIRC it was definitely not even 2x the cost of a regular ticket and it came with a commemorative booklet.

Yes, of course, but it's a lossy copy since you're de-compressing and then re-compressing the content. (At 4k is that as important? I dunno, I'm not a movie fanatic.)

Oh, I'm not whining, I'm just stating things as I see them. But yes, of course, complaining online doesn't really do much to influence the ruling class.
