Yes, I'm a Mountain Biker and have been for quite sometime now. I've had people ask me about getting into Mountain Biking on the cheap, say sub $500. I've told them to try hiking, it's far cheaper.

Yes, I agree. It's kind of a pain to work with at the moment, but some more improvements it Silverblue is cool. Getting everyone to agree on FlatPaks may be an issue.

Yeah, I haven’t looked at the article, but I remember the Chinese did exactly that when trying to fight desertification that’s approaching Beijing. I think most of the trees are dead now.

I believe heat pumps for heating tend to not work very well when the temperatures drop too low. (At least in the RV versions I've seen. Once the temp gets below freezing, you have to use the onboard propane heaters)

I’d imagine the NZ government would be happy to attract rich people to move in. Doesn’t Australia have sone pretty steep financial requirements for those who want to emigrate there?

I think you can certainly google most of it. But certainly the combination of climatic change and the bubonic plague certainly helped bring down the plans of the Emperor Justinian to reunite the Empire. An excellent resource is the Fall of

Ha. Mainstream Windows at the time didn’t even have TCP/IP software to connect to the internet. I think it came in a later revision of Windows 95. Windows 98 did have it installed though.

The US has been reducing its use of coal power pretty significantly. In 2016 Coal accounted for 30% of all power generation. This has now been reduced to 19%. It’s been replaced by renewables and natural gas plants.

We've had some big issues with people basically disappearing during this remote work time. And since we are a union shop, we've been basically unable to hold them accountable for it.

Looks cool. If someone could implement a complete System 8 interface with the old Finder and tabbed file drawers, I'd be super happy.

I’m going to guess wealthy donors will just look to private Universities now. Should be interesting to see how fund raising works out for them in the future.

They look goofy. I ditched mine in the late 90’s. Bars now are much wider than they used to be during the heyday of bar ends.

Here in California, these items have a E-waste fee you pay in the initial purchase. It's supposed to cover the disposal of the item once it's broken/discarded. I have no idea how many people actually dispose of them correctly

I'm guessing a lot of that has to do with software that gets preinstalled on Windows machines. There was a article the other day about how bad it is releasing laptop in 2021 with only 8GB of RAM. I noticed people in that thread talking
