Maybe district heating will start make sense, even given the low efficiency due to low temperature gradient.

It’s definitely an experience to see the food you got thrown away and be given an apple and some bread instead. Many kids would opt to bring in a pack of ramen, crush it up, add th…

Growing up, my school couldn't afford paper for math worksheets while building the most expensive high school football stadium. There are definitely some priorities in Texas.

Backups or satellite imagery is my guess.

I know it’s somewhat unpopular because of many things are labeled with insignificant quantities or are treated as a fact of life, but Prop 65 has to be my favorite ballot propositi…

Growing up in Texas "Are you ready to have your son judged based on his suitability for a future career in football?" hit a little too close to home. My district built the most exp…

I got mine on release day. Go debugger support took a while, but now it's my dream computer. My biggest complaint is that it doesn't warm my lap. The battery life makes up for that…

The three characters are to avoid problems with generating upi ids with recycled numbers.
