They truly are - and like you mention - modern tech is turning up more and more. Traveling in Belize, we happened upon multiple un-excavated pyramids and other buildings. The landowner or residents knew about them and pointed them out to us

It was amazingly quiet though we did arrive in the afternoon. The massive road project is making good progress, but still has a ways to go. (That being said, I wouldn't hesitate going in any regular car.) (I'm glad we were able to

My parents property sits at the confluence of a creek and a river. They've built their house on a promontory that had signs of inhabitation by indigenous peoples. We had a "100-year flood" when I was growing up. It was quite

Honestly, that protruding rebar reminds me of the common practice in some Central American countries of pouring the columns and crossties for the first story and leaving rebar stubbed out the top for a future second level which may or may n

I got a chance to look up some links[1]. The older iPods - through version 5.5 - have Wolfson DACs which have a "warm sound signature" that a lot of people like. [1] e.g. https://www.macintoshhowto.com/ipod/wh

The early iPods had _really good_ DACs. Do some reading up on on them.

Motivation and prioritization can be hard! Personally, I love hiking. I like getting out in nature, seeing all the things I can observe along the way, and getting good exercise. That being said, I don't get up and go on my own as often

I haven't done much climbing at all but I would encourage you to go for it. Being outside is a whole different level and a great excuse to spend time in nature. Start by talking to people at your bouldering gym. If you hear anyone disc

I'm really surprised more systems don't offer carbon monoxide sensing. To me, it's one that is really important to be aware of.

"so many unnecessary words". It seems that we're going back to that with the way LLMs tend to be overly verbose in their responses.

That line really stood out to me. One would hope that someone would realize this was a disaster waiting to happen and make changes before it actually happened.

They started washing their food in my bird bath like that. I had to put a stop to it once they started soaking dead rodents and things like that. A) gross, B) they don't need soaking. (:
