Those projects that start easy, and then suffer from: hmm, let's try that, then let's try these add ons, etc. And everything works, for years, and then you need to return to them, but can't remember anything! And then, it

That, is one weird spider! Thanks for that link. I'm surprised the spider is found in Mexico. It's description sounds like something that should live in Australia.

That's very interesting. Worth moving to Kentucky! Everywhere else I have visited you need a license, and to follow bag limits. Except for non licensed animals: rabbits, squirrels, gophers for example; or predators: cougars, wolves, b

I wanted to express thanks to Dang for the moderation of this site, precisely because we can learn, discuss, and evaluate difficult topics like this, without flame wars, and rudeness. There are a lot of good comments here today, that satisf

That sounds like a terrible idea. Taking apart a useful infrastructure, with unlimited potential for adoption, for purposes we don't know about yet. They took apart most of the rail network across Canada, especially the smaller rural l

Calgary, Canada; has free transit in the downtown core. But not very far, and not to the suburbs. But makes it very convenient when you are in the centre, and don't need to think twice about moving around that core.

That's when the government declares "A state of emergency", so that the insurance companies are baled out.

After years (decades) of crappy office chairs, here's what I found. High end gaming chair. Not sure which model, but I tested them all at a computer store first. Surprising as usual, the most expensive one wasn't the best fit. It

This reminds me of Alistair Maclean's book: Ice Station Zebra. Great book.

Thanks neonate for archive link. Here is the best quote from the article: "Collect the county’s gophers in order to ship them to Australia, where they would be inoculated with a disease fatal to rabbits but harmless to the gophers...&q

This looks great. Ever since maps -the Android app quit working. Meanwhile has anyone tried: Mapy.cz It's a great free app too. I'm pretty sure based on the same open source maps. Works great offline too. Any free open source mari

Beautifully written. Thanks for your comment. It touches many of us around you. It's a message for all of us; doesn't matter - the label, what matters - the actions. It truly helps to hear that others think and have the same feeli

Is that then a sense of meditation? It seems to fit. It's a relaxing, distraction, with the benefit of often being educational, at the same time. Relieving stress, allowing return to other things which need attention.

We could add paintings too. Many were very accurate "street views".

Bravo. Thankyou HN and users for this post. It's a simple check, and search results are definitely tainted somehow, especially selecting results in images. It is a reminder of how frangible history is. What will remain in another 30 ye

This is precisely the goal. However it's sad, you have to drive further from the highways to find something. Then, the last time I stopped to ask someone at a gas station for a good local restaurant - specifically not a chain, the answ

That's a very educational comment. I didn't think of that view point. Thankyou. Although, I wonder, if you find the little mom and pop outfit, if they wouldn't be more flexible in tailoring the food to your requirements? I wo

We used drive across America - the USA and Canada regularly, for over 50 years. In the last 10 years the annual drives, especially up and down the west coast or inland up and down (I15 for example), have changed completely. There used to be

That's very interesting. Clouds! I wish there was a discussion possibility, where we could ask real questions, scientific and technical, about the images and findings we see. Similar to hn, but with jpl. For example what instruments ha

Captain Nemo had this technology over 100 years ago, with similar reports by observers. Thanks to Mr. Wells.

Except the screen technology, which seems worse. The higher end the laptop the worse it seems to work in the sun light. My last good sunlight laptop was a super cheap atom based 11" Acer. I accomplished more on that than any Alienware,

This is what industry does though. That is in the less theoretical fields. If you actually want to make something that works, then you need to base your science on provable fact. Produce oil, build a cool structure, generate electricity. Ba

I wonder if you could add the game to F-Droid? I think there are quite a few Android users that don't load apps through the Google Play store. Game looks interesting, but I suspect it would be better to play on Android as app, instead

Had Starlink for about a month now. It's fantastic. Setup was beautiful. Automatic. No phone app needed. Took about ten minutes to warm up and automatically find satellite. Since then it's snowed 4-5 times, rained hard 7-8 times,

So disappointing. It reads just like the petty office politics where the successful employee is attacked and criticized, by the others who spend all their time figuring out ways to attack and complain, instead of doing their job better. It&
