I learned about this when standing at the customs counter in San Jose at two in the morning. I had an address for an AirBnB but the address as given didn't come up in google maps, …

I read his book Concrete Botany recently. It also mentions the deep mulch trick mentioned elsewhere in this thread. It's an easy read and a refreshing perspective.

We sure can do things with nature. for instance, sustain any and all life on our planet. Viewing the natural world purely in an extractive mindset is the very reason we're in the d…

I'm guessing it's programming language, but I don't think I've seen it abbreviated that way before.

Sounds interesting, but 8/10 stories at the top are about local hazardous weather conditions. Maybe those could be filtered out somehow, but I feel like the default should be bette…

Wearing the new Time 2 right now. It's as good as I remembered. So glad this story came around the way it did.

I have two American Giant hoodies. One was a gift. After around 10 months the zipper broke, so they sent me a new one. I eventually repaired the zipper (and have done the same for …

Pull-through cache the images. Sure, they could decide you can't pull anymore, or impose problematic rate limits, but you shouldn't add a runtime dependency on their registry in an…

Another own goal - eliminate screw worm from north america...

Huh. I remember playing a very similar game on Apple II, but I believe it had a Dutch / European theme, and was called something like "Ooperhoofd". I can't find any reference to it…

For some reason this made me think of Pirates Constructible Strategy Game [0] [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirates_Constructible_Strategy...

They should have called this "WishingWell". I'm wishing them well, but some of these projects are so over the top pie-in-the-sky silly, and funded with $0.25.

Same. I have used the controller as a container. Take a backup of the configuration and you don't even need to keep it running. I returned to a network after two years, fired up a …
