In the mid 80s, way for most to see a computer over there was to join a club, a school club (called "section") where you could try your hand at programming. Often enough there wasn't any kind of a tape or disk device, so you

Harry Turtledove has some very interesting short stories, such as "Road Not Taken" that concerns alien invaders in our near future. But overall he's a master of the alt-history genre and worth the attention of reading his boo

Studies of rumble strips - this being one - have rather focused on crash reductions, noise pollution, effect on cyclists and roadway cracking. By all accounts, tire wear is beyond negligible unless you're driving on a flat tire. Only

At this point of theoretical speculation, it's perhaps just as creatively interesting to visit sci-fi on first contact situations and evaluate their approaches to see how they mesh with our astronomical observations. The book that came

People romantically (har) think walls were there to keep the enemy out. It's actually to do the opposite, keep them in. They're chokepoints - takes a long time for even an organized body of people to cross an obstruction. But a

Can you tell me more about it? Looking into this now, but in MD. Waiting for an electrician's quote for running 220 V down there. Which heat pump did you go with, how did it turn out and all that jazz?
