It uses a pretty interesting/unique mechanical system for flight control. Neat!

"It's really easy to depend on your phone for lots of things and then not to have a backup plan if it fails." We see this so often in search and rescue. People take off on some random hike they found on an app without chargin

Thanks for digging into this and for sharing this article! I hadn't seen this latest twist. I'm friends with a number of the "paper’s staff who staged a mass walk-out". Very difficult times. Not mentioned in this article

When I had an MRI a few years ago, my conclusion about the sound was "add a melody on top of that rhythm, and it would go over quite well in an underground industrial music club in an abandoned warehouse outside of Berlin." I have

That's neat! My uncle gave me a bunch of large electrical insulators from the old high-tension transmission lines heading West from Hoover Dam. They make great yard ornaments.

I second the that talk. A great look into a slice of history I only knew the vague outline of previously.

Things like that can cause routing "loops" in your network which can mess up everything, not just the device in question. We've had that issue with "dumb" switches.

I also have my grandparent's danish teak dressers and dining table and chairs as well as some various side tables, lamps, bed, etc. I've acquired elsewhere. The all look wonderful and I get a nice feeling of connection to my famil

As others mentioned, it's quite light. Here are some pictures I found online of ones similar one to mine: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a2/c9/50/a2c9506ff9f3d65541d5... https://2.bp.blog

My local search and rescue team made door mats for their station with old 1/2" ropes. They came out really nicely. Doing so with serial or coax cables seems like an invitation for bits of the plastic sheath breaking off in a few m

I second your comment on high-quality foam. If you're looking at re-doing some old furniture or having your own made, study up on foam - not just the density - which is important - but also the type and grade. Decent stuff should last

I just spent about $700 having new cushions made for a 50+ year old Danish Teak sofa that I inherited from my grandparents. The original cushions were long gone, but the wooden frame was still in great condition. I sourced high-quality foam

There's a fairly successful(?) and long-running Ostrich and Emu operation near where I live. It's a tourist attraction though and they make their money charging admission and selling handfuls of food so people can feed the birds.

Interesting! We recently visited Parque Arqueológico Nacional de Tierradentro[1] in southern Colombia. The Hypogea remind me very much of the ones in Malta you shared. There, IIRC, they were saying they were 3,000 years old, but now online

We were there in January. There are some amazing, modern, clean and green parts of the city. The botanic gardens (Jardín Botánico de Medellín) are beautiful and considerably cooler than the surrounding parts of town. The metro - with cable

You must not have been to all parts of it. There are some very grungy, crowded, run-down areas as well. (The nice parts are pretty nice though.)

Banana custard but slightly more strongly flavored; creamy, white to yellow flesh.

If you're in a region where they grow - temperate but with sufficient overwinter chill - you could consider planting some. They're nice looking trees with large leaves, the fruit is tasty, zebra swallowtail butterfly caterpillars

For others, they're often described as tasting like banana custard or mango. Rich and creamy flesh with favs bean sized black seeds.

The fruit being discussed is endemic to a portion of the southeast United States. https://www.fs.usda.gov/nrs/atlas/tree/v3/367 You may be thinking of a relative like the soursop which does have a broade

I came across an entire carton of MongoDB coffee mugs at the thrift store a few years ago. Excess merch... My favorite swag was an Intel spaceman/clean suit guy doll - but he's stuffed in a box in the shed somewhere. I had a reall

Mostly working jobs in the off-season and sponsorships like 'ghaff mentions. It's not _that_ expensive of a hobby. Maybe $5k of gear a piece plus travel expenses for a minimal expedition like this.
