The MVUM are great but I've found that there are still many county and locally maintained but non-private roads, which aren't in the federal USFS/BLM MVUM and make it a bit annoying to figure out whats actually open.

In the US its pretty easy to submit corrections. I've submitted a few corrections on US public lands but now I usually don't bother and just update open street map instead.

Yup, I remember when I was going to check out the 2017 eclipse in eastern Oregon I wasn't really paying attention to the paper map and we were in a truck anyways but google maps routed us on a much worse road than the other option whic

huh, seems like there are numerous towns visible on the satellite/aerial imagery on the "old summer road". Are those towns cut off in the winter (by land)? Do they have an ice road? Seems unusual that travel is easier in the

Similar things happen fairly frequently if you ask for directions in remote areas, Google maps just directs you on long unmaintained old but officially mapped "roads" on public land. You really need to follow the land management a

There are lots of obvious and not so obvious places where routes can't be calculated, for example, when asking for driving directions across the Darien Gap: "Sorry, we could not calculate driving directions from "San Francisc

The amount of oxidizer on a molar basis shouldn't depend on the size of the molecule, just the number of C and H atoms that need to be oxidized to carbon dioxide and water, respectively. Some molecules (ex. ethanol) also have some oxyg

Good luck with that. I've found gate agents either to not exist, or the 1-2 of them get completely overwhelemed as an entire flight needs to rebook. Passengers who were only connecting to another final destination add further complexit

Methane doesn't seem very practical for an airplane, storing the pressurized gas in tanks seems heavy. Would you store liquid methane? Liquid methane and liquid oxygen are used as rocket propellants, not sure if that makes sense for an

The people who discover them can name them, though not after oneself. You can name them after your mentor or anything really, usually adding ite.

The link to the actual paper in PNAS doesn't work and the DOI doesn't resolve either... Can't seem to find it by searching the title.

I have a Logitech C310 from 2012 ($32 back then) and its horrendously terrible. The white balance is almost always way off, people have asked me how I got the sepia tone filter! I've also had issues with the microphone drivers distorti

I'm really frustrated with the enormous field of view of most webcams. Many are 90+ degrees. My old 2012 Logitech C310 is 60 degrees. I want to show myself in the view, not my entire room/house. I finally found a cheap AUSDOM AW63

No, probably not generally, I must have misinterpreted the post I commented on, I thought it was general policies leading to people leaving.

Lots of nimby policies (Prop 13, blocking new construction) significantly raises housing costs for everyone, I suspect this isn't a small part of why many people leave.

I used to deal with that on my commute in Oakland and I spent a long time exploring and looking at maps and end up going about 3/4mi extra to avoid sharrows on larger roads and take the side streets. Takes longer but I feel much safer.

Another comment above says the NSF is contracted to return the site to its natural state and that since the collapse it is safer to enter the structure and begin removal.

Very dystopian. I'll file that image with the memories of dark red wildfire smoke filled skies that looked like Bladerunner as the future we want to avoid.

According to the link above they say they use lithium batteries, probably better power/weight, but likely the whole device is potted in epoxy and there isn't any way to turn it on/off. It just runs from when the battery is we

Some snow but mostly I also like to take the car onto gravel and fire roads. Probably wouldn't use snow tires as I'm in coastal California and only see snow a few days per year in the mountains.

Its so hard to buy a small car these days in the US. The offerings are pretty poor. Mitsubishi Mirage, Fiat 500, Chevy Spark. And then if you want AWD there are basically no options (I drive a discontinued Suzuki SX4 because everything else

Not really related but I broke tons of samples during my PhD work where we applied large stresses in an electric field to brittle tiny pieces of ceramic materials. Sometimes you just need to push the limits to do science.
