The last chapter in the lives of a lot of Great Lakes freighters is hauling salt. Apparently it’s no better for ships than it is for cars. If you get a chance, the steamship Mather is docked near the Great Lakes Science Center in Cleveland.

I also ended up with a stray, but he had been abandoned as a kitten when I got him. He had zero interest in the outside beyond watching the squirrels through the window screens, which he did with rapt attention.

Highly recommend the writing of Dave Goulson[0] about bees and meadow ecosystems more broadly. I’ve read A Buzz in the Meadow and A Sting in the Tale and enjoyed them both. [0] https://www.goodreads.com/author/show&#x2F

I’m a furniture maker (like, for money). I’ve been using it for largely 2-D jig making for a few years and it’s been great in conjunction with a ShopBot for precise templates. I updated to the 1.1 release candidates, and it’s been great. I

Do you have a website with your system on it? I have an off-grid building I need to add solar to in the next year or so. After I fix the foundation and roof, of course. Naturally I’m exploring options for item 387 on the todo list instead o

The line frequency tends to screw with things with motors too. Moved from the US to Belgium back when compact cassette was a common format for music. Killed a few tapes with a transformer on a US tape deck before buying a 220V 50Hz unit. No

They may have started out the same as you or me, but the conditioning and acclimatization they’ve done over their lives certainly makes them more adapted to the activities they’re doing than the average person.

In short: no. I’m sure that in the Boston area we’d have had no trouble rustling up half a dozen or more. We now live in Vermont. The options are pretty much limited to Huy Fong. Reese makes a vastly inferior product that doesn’t belong on

Played trombone many years ago, but never well enough to ever adjust that finely (at least not consciously?). The tuning slide on the third valve on a trumpet usually has a finger fork/loop so that it can be tuned in realtime. I believ

Your plumber is probably making a good choice. Valves that don’t get exercised regularly can be all but guaranteed to be a pain in the ass when you need them to work. We have a calendar reminder to exercise the valves in our house yearly, a

Microsoft did (does?) Installable File System plugfests. The anti-virus vendors always had a pretty full dance card because they go to great lengths to scan files, which is sometimes at odds with other drivers. We had a hierarchical storage

One of the absolute treasures of our time is The History of English Podcast. 186 episodes in, and he's just gotten past Shakespeare. The first 30 or so episodes might run a little slow for you for lack of written sources, but it really

As a dude who is 6’ 1” or thereabouts with a 32” or thereabouts waist and a 34” (or thereabouts) inseam: can confirm. Carhartts size up a waist size to account for shrinking, and I can almost reliably find a 34/34. Finding 32/34 i

I have only ever owned cars with manual transmissions for my personal vehicles. I would 100% get a vehicle without a manual for my next car if it’s an improvement over a manual . I’ve driven a handful of Priuses. I would definitely own one

Breakability, among others, I suspect. I've never cooked commercially, but I did work at Cinnabon long enough ago that we made the rolls out of things that were identifiably ingredients. All the staff cups were plastic because things g

In Scotland, surely they're concerned with the future supply of whisky casks, not whiskey casks. Also, AIUI, because bourbon has to be aged in new white oak barrels, you find a lot of former bourbon barrels aging distilled spirits all

I put The Full Monty in a combo VHS/TV machine in a hostel a few years back, and was pleasantly surprised by how good it looked. Admittedly on, like, a 17" or 19" screen, but still. Turns out when you aren't trying to re

My now-wife had her wisdom teeth pulled not too long after we met. The oral surgeon suggested music or an audiobook. She chose a Game of Thrones book, which was fine until it got to a torture scene as they were rooting around in her mouth.

Upholstery tacks are sold sterilized for people holding them in their mouths. Now I wonder the same about drywall nails! Thanks for the link; that is absolutely masterful work.
