A friend of a friend worked at NASA on essentially this, except that instead of fitting Japanese candy in a box, they were fitting cargo into the Space Shuttle. As you can imagine this introduces a whole slew of new complications, notably m

I suspect that's for regular olive-sized capers with the stem attached? The article is about peppercorn-sized baby capers, where you could fit thousands into a jar that big.

It's not quite that straightforward: botulism can only happen if the garlic contains botulinum spores, which it probably does not. But if it does, and you don't heat, acidify, or otherwise stop them from reproducing, you may g

We are in the middle of dot.com bubble v2. There's a lot of over hyped AI garbage that will deservedly flame out and die, but it's still sowing the seeds of a future revolution.

I lived in Tokyo before Google Maps, and the answer was: printed maps. Every business card had a map on the back, every ad for an event had a map, every personal invitation had a hand-drawn map. But yeah, if you were going somewhere as a g

Highly unlikely, since I presume all car windows would have been closed (winter in Finland is COLD) and they would have been strapped in with seatbelts. It's difficult to escape from a submerged car even in the best of circumstances,
