My personal opinion is that we need to supply ourselves domestically (dog food it) and adjust prices to reflect the true cost. As for American Indians, as far as I know, they practically can’t do anything productive on their lands without a

Yep. America wants environmental laws locally, but they don’t want to import them for convenience’s sake. Nobody wants to fundamentally change their lifestyle. Take timber for instance. We rape Canada and South America for their trees, but

Ahah. Went from majoring in math to killing trees. I get to wield what an in-law calls a “motor sword” every day. I feel gud.

You’re taking advice from a drunk man, but get a blue collar job for a year after you graduate and see how you feel. Four possibilities: 1. You’ll love it and keep working it. 2. You’ll hate it and have a newfound appreciation for your rela

Get Farmers if you can. I live near a wildfire impacted area and nobody with State Farm got what they should have (if anything at all) unless they sued for it. Everyone with Farmers got what they should have, and in a timely manner.

I think in 10-20 years they’ll have this and more. Imagine dash cam videos from cop cars being analyzed and correlated by software so that someone who sped in between two cop cars 100 miles apart gets ticketed because they could not have go

That’s anything to do with government in the US now and it’s accelerating. I seriously worry about the long term outlook for America, with the way politics are degrading. There was that Adam Curtis documentary that was talking about how pol

Whoops, read it last night, must have missed the wax. I still have a hard time imagining it’s a candle holder though. You and all your soldiers have got to haul all this heavy shit across a continent, and somebody wants to bring a candle st

Why wouldn’t they just stick it on a short nail with a wide flat base? It would be a lot more economical. Also, there’s no mention of wax on them, which can take a long time to break down. Edit: oop.

Those will last basically forever. The rib covers the fasteners and prevents water intrusion. The old style corrugated stuff leaks pretty bad unless you torque the screws juuuust right. Pretty sure the grommets under the screw heads degrade

I’ve never even seen one. I’m sure lots of people have them, but I don’t know any. I’m more concerned about the latest generation of teens that haven’t been more than a day in their lives without an internet connected device in front of the

The branding comes off as pretty self conscious, but it sounds pretty neat. I’ll give it a shot when I’ve got some time.

A long time ago I moved from a big city to the country and the difference in noise was remarkable. In retrospect, I’d say noise level adjustment was actually the biggest pain point. I went from being fairly desensitized to constant noise to

I think so. My memory fails me (this was 6 or 7 years ago and I’m getting the the bottom of the bottle here), it might have had something to do with the padding in the tables themselves so that they were easier to read. The specific use cas

I haven’t used pandoc in years, do they allow markdown tables to be rendered as a PDF with the grid separator now? At the time, iirc, a pandoc dev took the very opinionated stance that you never needed the grid between fields, and if you di

I dislike religious people, generally speaking, but Catholics in the PNW are the source of a lot of reliable historical accounts of tribal groups. I’m somewhat resentful, but they did good work recording linguistic data. Better than the min
