City tap water in Europe and North America is regularly tested for common parameters and yearly, more or less, for most other constituents(pollutants, minerals, chemicals etc.) It is very very unlikely you got sick from the tap water. If y

Inventiveness. Decision for action. A startup. Not following or depending on big business to make what you want, Imagination. Design and production. Sounds like hacker news to me!

Fascinating sketches of harbours and ports. It is like a modern cruising atlas. Unfortunately in Portuguese? Great imagery and views, of port towns from that era, not so long ago, yet so long ago! Still recognizable headlands.

There is exactly this problem in the USA and Canada. To the point that students that want to be rural country doctors have a very hard time getting to be so, because the system is set up to maximize for city specialists. Pay is worse, but a

Yes, but they usually break them up first, releasing the reactive, lead heavy acid into the ground. The lead itself is packaged and shipped, leaving the plastic casing and acid in the ground. Used to be normal practice for scrap yards the w

Reminds one of the Polish, (but globally applicable) pre war joke, re-made during the communist era: "How could you allow your warehouse to burn down, empty!?"

Your description in the beginning, sounds a lot like Europe. Hopefully planners start to reduce the footprint of future construction, so they are walkable.

That was a more interesting video than one expects. Reality is evermore mysterious. Let's continue, with an interview of the programmers and cameramen!

Great. Finally. I always wondered why some sites reopen on data relevant to a past date, (weather web site for example), even though all history, cookies, site data, etc, has been set to clear upon shut down. Which always makes you wonder

All of Andy Weir's books are really good. There is even a surprising one that's fun. Also recommend Saturn Run, by John Sandford, while we are on this topic.

The loss of horses meant immobilisation of the economy.... Really neat article about dependence on horses and their infrastructure. Sounds familiar. Just as we were talking about emp pulses, how our economy would be destroyed, etc.

Pavement does not absorb rain water, and causes flooding. Pavement causes heating, and raises local temperatures. More pavement, the greater the additive effect. Pavement replaces vegetation and black soil. The results should be pretty obv

That's an interesting idea. The amount of work even for a techie to maintain all this, is considerable. Could it be set up for a "user". Tech support, would be; Interesting.

Yes. This. A different device. Only for this. Only turn it on when needed. Keep, turned off, in lead box otherwise. How else? But then what? One device for the bank. One device for your passport. One device for school. Etc.

Everything tastes better wrapped in paper, or real wax paper. Like at a butcher shop. The worst is the stiff plastic boxes used for pastries in a bakery. Visual, tactile, taste, aural, all is worse than a classical piece of paper or cardboa

I agree. I think the problem is that most people don't see (why would they?) the problem areas. Wheelchairs! What a pain. Try find one that answers a different need? It's impossible or super expensive. I have been pushing and pull

There are real toxicological reasons not to use deodorant, especially the rub on variety. It is very easy to go old school, and just wash your armpits (sounds gross when writing it down,) but it is very effective. If your are sweaty in publ

Throw that system out! After reading the article, it shows it to be worse than useless. Just as selling stocks that are failing, there will be pressure to hang on due to the invested money. But the results are bad, the concept is bad, the e

Who is #15???? After that good article, and that great lead up, we don't find out who is #15. I wonder if there is a follow up article. Definitely a fascinating field of study, we haven't even begun to understand. From mating, to

That's a great article. Well, not great. Terrible. But a very interesting read. They did it then, and are doing it now. For those who want to know: Article describes how, today, government officials are storing smell samples of people,
