I’d be delighted if they replaced the mailing address requirement with email. The fact that I need to either pay for a P.O. Box or have my home address and legal name in a public database is ridiculous and dangerous.

Vaccination cards are already used to track vaccines. I never remember to bring mine to flu shot appointments, but it has the rest of my vaccines noted, with dates and other info. We’ve also already set precedent for requiring vaccines for

Being unable to fix something you’re able to build isn’t unusual to anyone who has built a large and complicated structure. They had two different engineering firms look at it, and neither of them saw a safe path forward. It’s possible that

A given piece of technology is a tool, not a cult. My biggest red flag for bitcoin is the obsessive behavior of the people who are into it. You said it yourself in your reply- you hear arguments against it but just “can’t grasp” them, and t

Water in the gasoline is an issue in stations that have above ground tanks. When the tanks are mostly empty they’re filled with air, and the changing temperature means water condenses out of the air and ends up in the gas. I used to live in

I’ve seen fancy tea strainers made from skeletonized leaves, so I clicked to see their process. I’ve been thinking of making some, but the only skeletonized leaves I’ve seen were in creeks and are pretty fragile. It seems like leaf selectio

It's almost free for them, so there's very little downside for them to register thousands of domains. I'd love to see how long it took them to block malicious searches, though.

Oregon only has a little over 4 million people; half a million evacuated means 10% of the state is out of their homes. Even if only a small proportion of them actually burn we're looking at a serious housing crisis.

It depends on what stage of delivery they're scanning the packages. I used to ship a lot of small packages for a small business, and noticed: - they don't get scanned into tracking until they get processed at the facility, which c

Some preserves in California have trays of disinfectant to step through, specifically for Sudden Oak Death. It’s a pathogen transmitted through dirt, so in the very few places that aren’t affected yet it’s hard to keep out.
