I like the interesting segment display. I absolutely hate the rounded rectangular buttons within the hard square cut-outs. i'm not the market, so maybe I just don't know what i'm judging.

there were so many 'waves', so many years apart, that I have a hard time lumping them all together. aol and yahoo, maybe. aol was much earlier, but they both hit max valuation at around the same 2000-01 period. myspace hit max val

so 31 farmbots at 3m x 6m? a bit steep still, plus the maintenance nightmare of keeping 31 machines working.. it's a fun farm to envisage though. p.s. I don't think that this gantry has very harsh stiffness requirements; I guess o

A museum, or generally any arm of academia, should strive to work towards a moral imperative rather than disregarding morality because of a contractual allowance. Pilfering a nation is often times legal , but it's rarely right .

You're just re-stating what happens, not why it can't happen. 'Museum attendance might drop a bit so the British Museum of History regrets to inform you and your country that the exhibit is just too popular to return to Tuva.

the moral relative concept that previous peoples' didn't know right-from-wrong is , as always, ridiculous. we're not talking about a bogus modern concept here, we're talking about cultural theft on a global scale -- and

there have been a lot of inline filament drying methods tried. I experimented with a lot of the earlier attempts. they all work fine-ish for non-engineering materials; the problem of course is with the very hygroscopic materials that su

so weird that they still piggybacked on the JBL circuit board for battery charging and so on but didn't just find a way to leave the speaker and bluetooth stuff intact to provide a more 'provable' plausible deniability.

it's not hidden that globalization and all that it entails squelches out common local culture facets. there is a long list of long-dead languages that attests to this. coca-cola is the number one drink globally because of these kind of

neat. I always figured it was just a tongue-in-cheek purposeful corruption of the 1940s FUBAR military jargon, but admittedly I never went searching for the origin.

it's unlikely that HP is the main thing at play here; an electric motor for a plane would need to be wound or gear-reduced to a point of kV efficiency that fits within a plane's necessities. a 400hp tesla motor is presumably built

interestingly almost all of the original aircraft conceptualizations had a lot of props -- they got simplified due to the realities of drivetrain complexity pre-electrification. redundancy is one reason, weight is another, cost is another.

'leather' is sufficiently unique in characteristics that there exists no better thing to compare it by which to convey the physical properties to another.

I think the premise is that the info getting fed (teleprompter, for example) doesn't require a lot of pixel. it's all pretty poorly detailed.

'hinges without screws' is a step backwards, imo. screws suck -- know what sucks worse? a lack adjust-ability when that hinge wears out.

i'd be more willing to suspect the cookware than the foods given the sampling method and the particular foods mentioned. every one of those foods routinely gets thrown into either a plastic contraption or a non-stick pan of some sort.

the hard part for the individual is data collection; no matter what comes in the future it will likely start there. start hoarding all of your data, comms, whatever can be digitized.
