I'm rediscovering it. I remember reading about this in some flashy, superlative Popular Science article, from the early/mid 2000s. So I was quite excited to click on the link and see that shape again. But also, something something

I ran to the mailbox for these. Sad day. And yet, as others have said, “It felt inevitable.” Popular Science was never the bastion of journalistic integrity, and yet this leaves me worried about print publishing in general. If a periodical

There’s quite a bit of overlap, actually. For some reason all of the old hams want to do .NET applications, though. I really think this is one of the reasons for the stagnation in the field.

And yet I can show you image after image of treeless streets and sidewalks. Therefore, there is room for improvement. Is it possible that Dallas has the largest urban forest in the US, because it has the most urban sprawl? (I know nothing o

1) While, I can't personally speak (much) to walking around Dallas, I can speak quite a bit to walking around Austin, Texas. Walking around on a day that is 110º is doable, because the humidity is rarely ever that high, when the temp i

I’m fairly certain that percentage will still be less than the number of minors, which no one has a problem with excluding in the same way.

Early last month, I found myself turning to Yandex in a search for the out of print manual for a 1980s mobile radio. Google had nothing. Yandex had almost nothing. But it was enough to piece together an answer.

You can frame this as a lack of political willpower, but that won’t get you closer. China will have spent far less per commuter, in this process. Whether you want to chalk it up to the lack of certain standards in China, or onerous regulati

Your character has a name, and even a portrait made by you, of your player's 3D model, but after those initial ten minutes of character creation, you basically never interact with the 3D character again. As soon as you begin the tutori

In this case, I will tell you that I don't think that Satisfactory is better than Factorio. I was incredibly excited for the idea of 3D Factorio, but so far, it just leaves me asking, "What's the point"? It doesn't

And yet the majority of players wind up only logging in when they feel they need to. The lack of (required) grinding for XP makes the game a lot more relaxed than most other MMOs.

Most of the radio clubs here in the US have been griping about this for the last three months. It's just a question of how much pull the european clubs have.

The 5000 sq ft in the back of every Walmart is nowhere near being a fulfillment center. It's already full of items for the low turn-around shelves in the store. Instead, they'll be relying on their warehouses to handle this change

Wait, did you just compare a PvP entity with a rental alliance? Hard Knocks Associates is not the same thing as Hard Knocks Citizens, which is the alliance in the story.

Wormhole mechanics heavily favor _whoever has hole control_. Hard Knocks was busy knocking over some minor Russian farm hole, when Init took hole control of Rage.

Okay, people here need to get out of their bubbles. This is the same with most warehouse/assembly line jobs. Folks here are shitting on Amazon because it's relevant to their everyday lives. Walmart does the same stuff. I worked in
