:) I’m legit trying to figure out who your calling the petty tyrant flexing their power: - The principal which let off with a warning - The other kid, popping circuit breakers - Or you, ‘corrupting’ other young minds :)

As a reluctant one unit landlord (was underwater when we had to buy a bigger place for growing family) I’ve seen my insurance costs triple, property taxes double, and association fees go up 50%. Then there’s the repairs… And the property ma

Went camping recently, and used one of those head mounted flashlights. Walking around there were glowing spots in the grasses. Thought at first it was some sort of firefly. Upon inspection, it was the light reflecting off the eyes of spider

I presume you mean some new technology to transfer the fetus? As it is now, people ‘adopt’ babies before they’re born, all the time. Mother wants to give baby up for adoption. Couple is matched up with the mother and they help the mother du

Off topic, but reminds me of the lost hunting dog whose tracking collar was found in a big gator, along with a lot of other collars. Solved a long running ‘lost hunting dog’ mystery. https://www.spokesman.com/stories/19

Click on the dates. On my iPhone it moves the frame to show the correct month. Landscape looks better than portrait . I gather it’s a design exercise not a product.

Bifacial solar panels for the fence? Hmm... My state requires HOA's to approve solar projects. Hmm... I'd much prefer a fence to rooftop solar.

Watched the MKBHD video on this and couldn’t help but think about copyrights when he spoke of the impact on stock footage companies. As I understand the current US situation, a straight prompt-to-generate-video cannot be copyrighted. http

Where did you get 10 billion years of random chemistry? The articles I read assert that life began just 500 million to 1 billion years after formation of earth. 3.5-4.1 billion years ago with an earth age of 4.5 billion.
