Yeah, they're not perfect examples, but those shows' characters live in the suburbs and spend most of their time even farther afield. The cities seem to serve as somewhat jarring juxtapositions to the places where the action and d

Oh, this sounds like fun. It depends on how you define 'rural', but off the top of my head: Parks & Recreation, Schitt's Creek, Breaking Bad, Ozark, Sons of Anarchy, Dallas, and that's without even looking at the Dis

I don't think that's accurate today. I recently cancelled my NYT subscription from their website, didn't even need to call them. How long ago was your experience?

The "Supreme Being" in the French Revolution was not necessarily the Abrahamic God. One major cause of the revolution was the Church's corruption and overreach during the ancien regime, and they got pretty radical with religi

This is a shame, but not very surprising. The area around the reactor is a protected wildlife reserve, but the Columbia River Valley is a bit of an elegiac place to visit. It feels like a gorgeous area that has been used as a dumping ground

Espressif chips are excellent for making projects that work well, but it's a bit harder to recommend them for education. It's tough to get truly "bare metal" code running on their chips once you want to dig more deeply i

Toyota's interest may not be in Level-5 autonomous taxis. They have a history of striving to fully understand every part of their supply chain; this could be a play at developing advanced in-house driver assists. As an example, I was s

That question doesn't really make sense in the context of a US workplace. The employee:HR relationship is fundamentally adversarial over here. HR's job is to protect the company, including from its own employees. They will throw y

Not so much if you live in North America. There are a few plug-in options, but it seems like the good ones are staying in Europe and Japan because in 2021, the big automakers still don't think there's a market for EVs in the Ameri

>We aren't going to see a cultural shift in timescales shorter than a decade. Why not? We already did. 2000 was still in the era of "never give out accurate personal information online." 2005 was fully in the MySpace/

There are a lot of good quotes along these lines. My favorites: "I never let my schooling get in the way of my education." (Mark Twain) "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." (Ben Frankl
