Let's add "affluent and white and fortuitously non alcohol addicted" to "1950-1970" and I think you nailed it.

Isn't density not mass the issue? Methane still floats above air using density from the internets, though I wonder about mixing 0.656 kg/m³ methane 1.98 kg/m3 carbon dioxide 1.225 kg/m3 air.

How long does it take to charge? Granted 350 miles is a long trip, but some 9f us drive from Seattle to San Francisco and we can't do that in 350 burst waiting overnight for the car to charge. Personally I think a hybrid that plugs int

I know I would hate him and his shtick if I were a commuter, but I am kind of rooting for his brand of chaos.

It's also true in the US, depending on the situation. And if you are lucky enough to have insurance and see a doctor at all.

I think the point of the thread is a discussion of whether "all human organizations exert control..." You disagree, but I think the statement under question is basically correct. Your last reply doesn't add any support to y

Control is both enabling and disabling, depending on the specifics; I think that is an important lesson that can come from looking at "cults". Examples of enabling control: Learning math was forced on me as a child (unlike readin

I hated Panda Express when I lived urban California and there were 1000s of small Chinese canteens, but now I go twice a week. If they had real China (hehe) I would eat there more often, but I just get to go.

This year I overseeded with a mix of ryegrass and clover, will keep my lawn mowed at 2 inches and watered. I hope the clover can bloom at that height and make the bees happy. It should look fine if I keep it at 2 inches every couple of week

Actually, there is a pro-organic, pollinator and wildlife friendly program in my city whose lead I am following. Another reason I don't move.... My only plan for the summer is to seed the lawn with clover, water weekly, and keep it cu

Could you describe the sanctuary nearby? We live on a typical city lot, and I am going to try to become a mini-sanctuary over the next few years and would love working examples.

One, that's beautiful and makes me want to cry. Two, it speaks to getting over the hump of learning something hard, where you have to work 100s of hours, feeling incompetent, before the payoff. Maybe intensives like you did are the bes

What if your student really just wants skill and doesn't care about a personal style or whatnot? Personally, I get a lot of satisfaction working as a software developer implementing practical solutions to complex problems, with no need

It was 5 years ago, maybe it's better now. I wasn't comparing Julia to python or c+, but to Matlab octave.

I did a 5000 line dissertation project in Octave after rejecting Julia. Reason : I had derived the math in linear algebra including Kronecker products; the math mapped to Octave pretty directly, but Julia requred me to translate all the Kro

What if you mow it short regularly? We would have the same mess if we didn't mow. Things grow like crazy for six months here

by forkandwait 8y ago
In my hippy puget sound part of the world, we just mow to keep the grass short but otherwise let it do whatever, usually turn brown and be filled with moss and clover. We started to aerate because that helps runoff.

I have heard that France standardized it's nuclear design, and has been very successful with that. Not exactly COTS, but not like starting over each time either.

Of all the places, why did NYC offer Amazon subsidies? NYC actually has too many good jobs for the amount of space... I am also proud of my cantankerous fellow New Yorkers who fought this.
