If you enjoy Slow Horses, I highly recommend the book series it’s based on. I’m not sure if Mick Herron wrote the books with Gary Oldman in mind, but it’s the perfect Oldman character nonetheless. The show is quite a faithful adaptation of

I would love this for my David VP2 station. It looks like it’s not available in the United States but they say it’s resold by ambient weather. Does anyone know of an alternative source? If this is it that’s more than twice the EU price. ht

I’m surprised you needed AC at 10k ft. I have a cabin south of FairPlay at 9200 ft and the high temperature for the year has never exceeded 81 F. Good to hear on the heat pumps though. I’m planning to eventually replace the propane boiler w

Davis Instruments makes some of the best and most accurate devices. I have the Vantage Pro2 sensor suite and recommend it. More expensive than some but worth it. There are various ways to upload data to the internet.

It is definitely typical Kim Stanley Robinson in that it explores large ideas and delves into details that don't pertain directly to the plot. As a rumination on a possible non-dystopian future, it is excellent and I highly recommend i

This is one of the travesties of drug enforcement and has compounded inequality in America. The imprisonment of the poor for nonviolent drug offenses continues today. That a wealthy drug user would laud this as a good outcome of drug policy

Unionization, as argued for in the op-ed, is something that’s legal right now. We just need government to enforce the laws already in place. Laws paid for with the blood of the labor movement in the early 20th century. Unfortunately regulat

Learning rust is great (I am too) but I'm skeptical that it is in any way a recession-proof skill. If anything, recessions cause corporations to become more conservative, including technically, favoring the older "boring" lan

Yes, the non-mobile version has a great layout and much more density of information on a single page (unsurprisingly). Does anyone know what the sources are for the data shown here?

The article mentions that plastic bags work better than emergency "space" blankets since they block moisture and thus evaporative cooling. A large industrial trash bag is part of my emergency supplies on cold backpacking trips. It
