I was trying to remember the old name. I believe it was just Phil running a blog solo? Content was slow to appear but incredible quality when it did. It would be great if someone took it back to its roots.

At least in my area of Kansas City, and I believe many other cities, this is simply not true. Downtown Kansas City before WWII was similar to many European cities. It still has boulevards and parks, but it had 300 miles of electric street c

Chrome is becoming the new Internet Explorer. They are adding features the marketers want regardless if it is good for privacy or other ecosystems. We are already seeing websites and services that only work correctly in Chrome. Safari is th

In our rural area FB marketplace is the place to buy things. They certainly have the network effect. However, I cannot think of a single market that is more user hostile. Functional searches are impossible, as it feeds you what it thinks yo

It is a missing piece, but there are a few alternatives out there. Examples are Raw Therapee, Darktable, Capture One, and Luminar. I cannot give a recommendation on quality, but do have the first two installed alongside Affinity Photo for o

This is exactly why old farmhouses here in the Midwest were T shaped. There was a chimney in the center of each long arm of the T. Then vents through the floor right above the heaters to warm the second story. With good placement they did n

I live in the Midwest (and hate JD). Many continue to buy from them simply because they are the only company that guarantees parts years after production. They will make a 100 year old part if they get enough orders for it. Most other manuf

Not likely. Crony capitalism that helps the major car dealership owners but limits economic progress For all. Collectively, these owners will likely donate far more to political campaigns to keep the rules in place than Musk can.

I live in rural KS. We afford our roads in rural areas by purposely not paving them. Maintenance of gravel roads in the East and dirt roads in the West is accomplished by running a road grader down them every few months. There are paved cou

Not a terrible idea, but these all take years to design. We tried the "shovel ready" approach in 2008. What they found was that there were few projects fully designed and ready to go. Producing construction ready engineering docum

I would gladly pay money for a weather app that was nothing but their line graph. It was so simple and clean. I often took screenshots and shared with friends. The new version is useless, but I cannot find a replacement.

This happens a lot when driving around on smaller highways in rural areas here in the US. We even joke when we see red on the map; is it a real slowdown or did the one driver with Google Maps slow down to pass a tractor?

Amazon has a monopoly and monopsony in the ebook market. Oddly, the department of just does not seem to care. Their recent test of “does it hurt consumers” is too narrow. In this case the monopsony is hurting the entire industry.

Bringing the same rules to light aircraft as airliners has actually made them less safe. Bringing a new four place plane to market has been cost prohibitive. The majority of new planes built today were designed in the 50’s on slide rules. I
