Not sure how long these feeds have been broken, just noticed today. I used per-user RSS feeds to follow a few posters who generally write on subjects I'm interested in, but now the…

Ya, he just can't stop being mad. He published another paper back in February about how twitter is the reason people don't like his ideas: https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/12/2/e052…

Elaine Herzberg is still dead. Not much upside in that scenario.

SAG-AFTRA and DGA have members in that range. I'm guessing Equity has some as well. The AMA isn't technically a union, but performs similar functions.

Thanks! I was thinking of 'Roppe' which is the not the right brand at all.

Journal of Light Construction is pretty good as well: https://www.jlconline.com/ And, online only, Green Building Advisor: https://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/

Yes, good choice. I didn't include it mostly because I find that Norm's compromises on a few design elements/material selections may guide someone in the 'wrong' direction - but th…

Air conditioning is not as common in New England (where the author is located) as it is in the rest of the country. I would say about a third of projects I worked on in the Northea…

It doesn't have to be a lot of work, just paying attention to what you like and dislike in your current home, friend's homes, etc. is most of the battle. Like, if I asked you what …

Ya, you won't find it in commodity construction, but just in case anyone is looking for real linoleum a currently available brand is 'Marmoleum'. It's nice stuff, I've used it on t…

As someone who works in residential construction, this is one of the better looks at what a 'good' process looks like from the homeowner side of the equation. The only places where…

Pre-existing requirements for the seasonal storage of manure on dairy farms (primarily because you aren't supposed to spread manure in the winter) means that many dairy farms alrea…

I worked for an entity that eventually got rolled into the subject of the NPR article. We looked into compression/cleaning for biogas, but both the capital requirement and ongoing …

I used to work in AD/Composting and the issue I've read about with compost heat recovery was the cost of the recovery system (compost piles are very large) and short equipment life…

Introduction of the $5 daily wage also included a reduction in labor hours to 8 hours per day. So no, the $5 wage did not include overtime. "To run the factory continuously instead…

When Henry Ford set minimum salaries, he wasn't impacting the wages of the engineers who designed the cars - he was impacting the wages of those who made less than $5 at the time t…

A Journal of Light Construction editor had a fire in his SolarCity panel set-up as well, and had a hard time getting it sorted out. https://www.jlconline.com/how-to/electrical/sola…

I'll check Timberland, thanks!

Unfortunately, it's job-site PPE policy - I work in construction.

I looked at Doc Martens a long time ago (a decade+) when I was looking for steel-toe non-leather work boots, but none of the vegan Doc Martens boots have steel/composite toe protec…

Can anyone find a good way to browse? Closest thing I could find to an index is a alphabetical list of guests - but the formatting is made for mobile or something and you have to k…

It's a mirror of the intracity highway issue. Access is improved for people who don't live in a specific location, and the externalities of this decision are dumped onto local citi…

I really enjoyed clicking around and virtually touring the campus - especially knowing how much work it must have been! What a great project, glad the university recognized your ef…

I also recommend Reply-All, entertaining and gives a great window into the consumer side of the tech world. Hangouts with James Fee is a podcast primarily about the business side o…
