The key to understanding all of this is that a huge set of Americans 'want' to pay more as an exclusionary benefit. With section 8 (fed housing welfare) rules, any multifamily stru…

It generally means something is out of balance, which doesn't necessarily mean something is wrong. Usually not. But if something is wrong, yea you can bet they will be burning off …

Yea while $ viability is true, it's better to think of as 1) using some potentially useful products as fuel to burning off things you don't want and 2) the buffer to keep non-stead…

No- making a fake endangered species to shut down operations that don't actually harm the species (endangered or not)... Is hardly the same as objecting to activities that distress…

This is more preemptive I suspect- 'they' have been reclassifying different species trying to get a bona-fide Gulf endangered one to use against exploration and production. Especia…

This common sense mindset would invalidate so many 'safety' laws and I'm all for it. Studies make so many invalid assumptions (and usually don't even state them) to force the data …

Most HVAC contractor counters carry packs of longer ones for insulating ductwork (though not as heavy duty as what's pictured).

Yea couldn't install gps, then realized the package manager only had maybe 10% of what most gli.net routers have because of the 'special' chip in this one. Still a great travel rou…

3) manufacturers placing energy star improvement quotas over safety in programming the cycles.

Deadweight or no-weight engine is a relatively negligible problem in terms of the weight-balance envelope. Cut fuel & hydraulic lines near that engine (that affect the other engine…

>like it wasn't the extension of a European war...

Was always weird to me how "the French and Indian War" had Indian involvement almost over emphasized to pretend like it wasn't the extension of a European war... While all the othe…

Dixie cup / glassware divide will tell you a lot about the type of party, but not always along the lines you might think.

Samsung marketplace on the phone used to have this- now it's just 'don't show this again today' button.

Directional drilling is a game changer and has become accessible in the last decade. You're looking for advancement in carriages unaware of the 'automobile' that made 5g and ftth d…

Overgrazing can be a problem, but undergrazing can be just as big of one. Healthy pasture requires a certain rhythm/ amount of hoof traffic to stay healthy. It's why land restorati…

Canceled mine after ad-free stopped working on YouTube Kids of all things (on ShieldTV). Was probably a bug, but with practically no customer service options, no real solutions bes…

Still miss the keyboard on my HTC Tilt2

And we do pretty much the same with stonework now compared to the ancients. There are a few that know how to do it by hand, but mass production has evolved.

Yea this is economics, not tech. We also don't build carriages as well or have an army of craftsman doing it, but it's lost/regressed because there's no economic incentives.

>Fogbank This is a more interesting example- the theory isn't that we lost the tech, but that the new tech was too good, too pure. The incidentals of the old, 'dirty' way of manufa…

The follow up question (not quite mc) was actually what put it in a loop for me- It kept asking 'what kind of drink?' After apparently interpreting engine noise as asking for one. …

Only if you're using technical writing in a situation where you shouldn't be. Problem is the state of most English education doesn't even teach enough for people to recognize prope…

'Cancer Alley' maps are generally just the same cherrypicked socioeconomic/ racial map you see everywhere- especially the refinery claims. Adjust for those factors and the increase…

Between snap and having completely different network implementations between "desktop" and "server" versions really made me fall back down the learning curve of nix. Especially sin…
