Here's a more real example that is not just one "feeling". In Portland Oregon there are TONS of hundred year old houses that all look fairly similar because they were all built "ch…

Maybe someone here will know how to fix this: I turned off internet access in my LG WebOS TV settings. On power on, it has no audio for about 5s and then the display blanks, shows …

Indeed this "test" is laughable. "the drivers had time to get to know the cars and their infotainment systems" really though? Like an hour? Is it their personal car? "...By photogr…

6x and that is a real number, from personal experience.

The key quote here being: "[...] Lactobacillus-secreted soluble factors contributed to [...]compromised gut mucosal recovery, highlighting a need of developing aFMT or personalized…

Actually no you don’t need any such model. Given the map of exposure areas, one can simply compare with other non exposure areas with similar variables for all other major risks

I’m curious if you have seen more about the plans the article discusses? Talk of proper physical segregation of bike traffic using bollards sounds very nice. Copenhagen’s concrete …

While automation sounds elegant, it has nothing to do with the problems or solutions here. The core problem with the NYC subway system is a management culture that does not value l…
