I enjoyed reading this, thank you for sharing. When you say you tried to contact the admin of the box and that this was common back then, how would you typically find the contact i…

I have no feedback that hasn't already been mentioned elsewhere. I just want to say that I love this. Your son is developing a passion for programming very similar to how I did so …

Do you know of anywhere I could learn more about this? Googling "old sparky" just yields articles about electric chairs, even when including keywords such as "rheostat" and "theatr…

I've been wondering about things like this for a while. I run hot and sleep much better in cold temperatures (looking forward to cold winter nights). A weighted blanket helps, but …

In case anyone else was wondering why in the world anyone needs a smart mattress; it has both heating and cooling capability, as well as vibration (for alarms). Presumably it is pr…

I just checked the copy of Websters Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) I loaded into a free app from the URL included in the article. "Condole", "condoled", "condolement", "condo…

How do you care for a garden spider over winter? The yellow garden spider (argiope aurantia) is probably my favorite spider and I love when one takes up residence in my garden thro…

Ah interesting, so no relation there either. Thank you for the info!

Why October 7? A quick google search shows it's Revolution day in Russia, but I'm afraid I don't understand the relation.

I don't mind it as much in true crime podcasts when it's done well. Totally agree that the generic "it was a peaceful town where nobody locked their doors blah blah blah" can get o…
