I have always assumed that as service (or products) get worse consumers will start looking for alternatives. This does not seam to be happening. It might be the alternatives are run out of business and are doing something else now. Maybe co

An interesting article and worth a read. It is good to remember that many of the words and phrases on labels are not defined legally and do not mean much. Some words and phrases are legally defined but do not mean much. Buyer beware (and i

I am wondering why a little river near me dried up in the 1980's. Climate change no doubt has played a role but I think there might be more. Maybe general development practices (in the US) encourage drainage so that ground water is not

The low interest payed by banks hurt those that have cash to save and need to put it into some sort of savings account (short to medium term interest bearing account). If you have cash sitting in a bank account now it would pay to look at r

I am curious to see how all this plays out. I am not a developer but have played some with chatGPT to write some simple python. It has done an OK job. When it works it is sometime easier than other cut and paste methods. That is a long way

After seeing Carl Sagan's Cosmos I got and read the coffee table book "Cosmos" I really liked it at the time(about 10-12 yo). It was pretty influential but I do not know if I could sit through the book again.

Depends on the books of course but the old pulp paperbacks were such you could hold 5 to 10 maybe. Today a tablet could hold 1000s (? how many I don't know ?)

"Books are not oranges." As an aside, what do you mean by this? I would have an even harder time giving and answer to the best orange I've eaten. The Hobbit. My brother read it to me when I was just starting to read. When he

I saw there was a big air bubble in the video of the fish swimming in the tank. If you put a syringe in the air bubble and try to draw the air out (without adding water) what happens. Does the bubble collapse? Does it just become a less den

I was an EMT in a rural ambulance service late last century and I remember asking how a CAT scan works. The only answers I got were along the line of "Its like an X-ray." I pointed out that I understand it uses X-rays but it is li

This seams like it makes sense and an ok way to store carbon. I have not tried to look up original sources or a paper. Does the 3775 year old log count the time the log spent growing (or does that count)? Does using the wood in durable prod

I was raised and live in an area of Central Texas with some of the highest growth rates in the US. It might be that a sort of rural gentrification is just destroying a lifestyle that was always taken for granted. Small farms/ranches ar
