I live near Galena, IL, which also part of a tri-state (IL, IA, WI) which itself is part of the Driftless Area. Our mineral and mining boom started in the 1820s and I think was much reduced by the 1860s. Mining was so important in our area

Absolutely, great graduation speeches are unique and from the heart. They don't sound like a sales pitch for the latest trend or thing, and mentioning AI shows how clueless theses speakers are.

The voyages and sagas of the vikings are very interesting, but something I find to also be fascinating is the economic and cultural history that brought about the viking age and then several centuries later ended it. It does seem kind of su

Cuba has received shipments of oil and humanitarian goods from Mexico and Russia just this year, and I don't believe that the US has done anything to stop that (although the US has heavily sanctioned Russia in general for years now). H

I love this story. When I first read it online in college many years ago I was surprised, and disappointed, when I suddenly realized it was a short story. It's a great one to recommend to people.

As a native of Northern Illinois, I was pleased to see Joseph Glidden mentioned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Glidden Edit: after reading about Claude Shannon, I too think it would have been nice if he was ment

Absolutely. If I'm driving and using my cellphone (in a legal or illegal manner), and the network is suddenly screwed up, I'll probably be more distracted since I'm trying to solve the "problem" with my phone in add

Same, and I also just marvel at the airplanes. This video made me think of the several grass runways that are in my area. They're literally just maintained by some guy mowing them, and yet people land on them in tiny planes as well as

I'm not from Canada, but my take is that given Canada's economic reliance on the US, any "divorce" would cost them more than anything they could find anywhere else. However, I also don't think the PM there can simpl

I'm probably the only person here who has been in a Walmart in the last year or two, but recently I found that my local Walmart offers a warm counter with freshly prepared small bites, and you can get a respectable chicken sandwich for

I consider the languages of Western European colonial powers to have achieved a sort of heightened mobility when they more or less mastered extensive sea travel. Something that I've always found interesting is how the two large Polynes

I'm reminded of how time pieces such as sundials changed societies, and how some ancients almost lost their minds due to this new development. “The Gods confound the man who first found out How to distinguish the hours---confound him,

You're right. The town has speculated it to be the case and doesn't want housing for situations like this. Real estate investors also speculate it, and they'd prefer to cater to those with more disposable income. Single-room

In my town there used to be a lot of single-room units (there are of course none now), and my understanding is that the primary residents were migrant men working pretty much all day. They'd just crash in the rooms, all their meals and
