I think we'd know if the Russians detonated a nuke in orbit.

I was thinking more construction costs- now every room needs many outlets instead of the one that the overhead projector cart plugs into. Power efficient lights, insulation etc. require higher construction costs but reduce operating costs.

More money for education doesn't necessarily mean more money for buildings- they often have to be floated by bonds separate from the main budget. Schools have more features than 75 years ago- better hvac, higher power requirements, bet

Private schools (and charters) usually pay worse than public schools.

I think GP was referring to 'hoarding media' specifically, not just hoarding in general.

Interesting. I've been lucky in that I haven't had non-cosmetic damage repaired, but it always seemed like there were several iterations when insurance was involved.

IF you go to a body shop to get a dent pulled, you will receive one quote. If you tell them insurance is paying you will receive a second, much higher, quote. The dealer will say it's because the insurance company is such a hassle to d

This doesn't sound like the academics', or even administrators' fault- this is being imposed by the state university system. Reading between the lines the change is a response to political pressure to reduce costs and impose

So I was ready to type "it's just a game", but the truth is OD&D isn't even really that- it's a set of mechanics from which a games master could select in order to make their own game. How closely you wanted to

There's no evidence that it does stay stable- the author is making a lot of assumptions about the 'implied setting' of OD&D that aren't really supported by the game materials at the time. 40 silver pieces couple be

Not American history- set so far in the future that the idea of 'America' is as widely understood as we currently understand 'Sea Peoples'. Think Gene Wolfe's 'Book of the New Sun'

By the time the original D&D books came out, the Blackmoor campaign (that inspired the original game) already had crashed spaceships and trans-dimensional travel.

Howard and Burroughs rather than Vance and Moorcock, though Tolkien would be number three. Gygax only argued otherwise after he was sued by the Tolkien estate.

But it doesn't compare that to the total release in the atmosphere, say from other manmade sources. I want to be sympathetic to the arguments I think the article is trying to make, but its content is really just 'Numbers! Billiona

I would argue most of the mess of the 17th-18th centuries comes from not having a strong centralized government at a time when that meant having an absolute monarch or emperor. Sure the back-biting oligarchy was not ideal, but neither was t

Anyone wanting to watch this movie (which is great) just go into it cold. Be warned that there's a pretty extended sex scene, but otherwise just go in without expectations.

There is a huge difference in salaries between elementary and high school education, probably based on the traditional gender difference between the two fields. My wife has taught for 10 years as an elementary teacher and earns below the

In my state the "teacher's union" is basically liability insurance for stuff that happens in the classroom, they have no real collective bargaining power.

I would think the main thing would be no network hardware and ideally no network stack. After that, a minimum of local storage- nothing persistent outside of firmware, and certainly nothing that would provide any type of file system visible

I've thought about this for awhile and can't decide if it's because we've rightfully shaken off an uptight bourgeois culture of dinner parties, china, and china cabinets, or if it's because the people who think they
