Not yet, but I'm trying to leave retail marketing web development to work at a local water utility. It's difficult to find a position I'm qualified for, though. If it pans out, it'll be a 25-30% drop in income, but with

This topic resonates with me, because I'm currently building a horrible marketing static page with images and videos that top 150MB, prior to optimization. It causes me psychic pain to think about pushing that over the wire to people t

Back when I grew up in the 80s and 90s there was a child abduction scare due to high profile cases like the Michaela Garecht case in Hayward, California. In fact, we lived in the same general community as her family (my parents knew the Gar

Our family used to attend Newman Hall Church in Berkeley, California back in the '90s -- a very brutalist building of a church. Although religion never took for me, I had fond memories of the after-church donut feasts in the community

This, exactly. We Americans have very little knowledge base on how to build HSR, so it's as much a workforce training and proving ground as it is a functional line.

Normally, yes, you would be correct. But in the case of the Shinkanzen, it rolls to a stop, carefully opens it doors and allows the elderly to depart, gazes at the natural beauty of Japan all around it, and ponders on the question of whethe

Arlanda is my favorite major-city airport. I'm not as well-traveled as many, but I've been to dozens and it's my favorite. I've transited between Stockholm, Norrtalje, and the airport in bus, tax, and train, with each be

A journalist acquaintance of mine in NYC was in touch with the orthodox community there, who were somehow associated with the Temple Institute, the organization working together with American evangelicals to breed a red heifer. According to

Wait, that's not the downvote button? I always thought that's how posts gained their light grey status.

Hearing your description really makes me want to visit and experience the...dread? Similarly was a motorcycle ride I took through the Searles Valley and the town of Trona, much further north of there and near Death Valley. What an unreal se

Sweden has a similar right to roam called "Allemansrätten" that allows people to go cross-country through private natural lands as long as they follow a handful of guidelines. I think it's generally that the traveler needs to

Gush on! This is the kind of thing I love to occasionally see here. Wish I could live on the water, but slip fees are pricey and limited where I'm at. Best to you!

The companies that told me I was a rejected applicant via email, I was disappointed for a short while, but moved on. The companies that left me hanging and never said a thing, I still hold a grudge. My respect to the companies that care eno

I've seen more than one video from the Mentour Pilot channel on YouTube (where he covers air accidents, fatal and not) where the pilots experience spatial disorientation and input opposite commands on their respective yokes. So it defi

Thank you: this is exactly the game I was looking for in the list, but forgot the name. It, too, was my first introduction to Moai as a kid.

The remains went into orbit around the sun, as I understand, not a crash landing into the moon.

Yes, I definitely second this recommendation. I used to do IT for a couple architects and got turned on to these kinds of pens, which they use professionally for blueprint markup. They are just perfect for me, too.

Thanks for presenting the term to that type of architecture: I've not known what's it's called and really, really love the look. Timeless, to my eyes.

Love love love SomaFM! Pretty much always playing DefCon, Underground 80s, or Groove Salad while I work. The soundtracks of my adult life. Thanks, SomaFM folks, and I encourage everyone to support them financially with a donation or merch p

Chaebol (Korea) and Zaibatsu (Japan). The former are still very much alive and kicking, while the former was more or less snuffed out in the post-war period (as is my understanding).
