Not as much time indeed, in December where I live sundown is at 1630.

Just throwing in my anecdata, used to be a late riser (often after ten), had a kid and now I wake up a bit after six. Sleeping in is after eight. I just have to get up when he does. If I had to guess, I'd wonder if school conventionall

something is horrifically wrong with your urban planning Ok, agreed. Now what? But seriously, this is the state of affairs for much of the country.

Well, eventually, when that computer has sophisticated software and all the appropriate sensors. An array of optical sensors that you ignore anyway won't really cut it.

That's the thing, I've never lived somewhere that gets to -6 and also runs a real chance of multi day power outages. I'm sure it's a different story in some parts of the world, of course.

Personally I suspect a lot of the diehard adherents to gas cooking haven't had a chance to cook with a modern glass top resistance or induction stove. IMO the difference has shrunk dramatically. Water heaters too, electrics have improv

The various negative health outcomes we're seeing with refined &/or simple carbohydrates.

It's really more like a balance narrative. Hit reasonable ratios of protein, fats, and carbs. High protein, low fat, low carb, low protein, high carb, high fat- collectively we've tried them all through one fad or another. Current

IMO while protein is needed for muscle building, recommendations like 3.3g/kg (I've even seen recommendations of 4.4g/kg) come from a "more is always better" mentality, along with a pop culture obsession with protei

It's known in the ham community that pine needles diminish the range of UHF radios, so it fits with pre-existing knowledge. Reportedly needles are about the same length as a UHF antenna, and so they tend to absorb the radiation. 5G is,

I don't know what the proper term is, but there's a certain trust of necessity at play. You have to pick some OS vendor to trust, or at least trust more than the others, because you need an OS.

1.5g/lb (3.3g/kg) is considered by many in the weight training communities to be way overkill, and potentially hard on your kidneys.

You have to pay for bandwidth, CDNs, storage, app servers, DB servers, etc etc. Decentralized serving has just as much bandwidth, storage, and iron (if not more). Does it somehow make those resources cheaper?

Yes, it's a little bit different than a regular co-op, but: 1) it's paid for mostly by your local government, not the federal government, so there's some self-determination. 2) You can get your books there, but you don't

It's the co-op model, which USA generally has no problems with as long as it's elective, e.g. you aren't forced to depend on it.

Personally I feel like I would happily pay small amounts for news, but nobody has figured out how to frictionlessly pay $0.00004 to read a news article I'm interested in. We're stuck right now with only two models, $15-30/mo

I see it as more like, the defenders of public broadcasting are infuriated that public radio ($4M) is put on the chopping block and the DoD ($600B) is to be increased. It's not that cuts to public radio is unthinkable, but when someone

My parents bought a car for me to drive back when I was a teen. It cost $900, not $25,000.

They can, but don't get credit for it in Google's page rank. Which to me makes the whole complaint sound dishonest. They want to have their cake and eat it too.

What a useless reply. Your parent is IMO accurate. The consumer is not actually valuing price above everything else; the consumer does not have all the information on how comfortable this or that flight is, and we all know markets only work

That sucks man. I'm 6'2", my knees almost hit. When I first sat in the new thin seats, I extended my leg straight down the aisle. My foot reached well in front of the seat pan ahead of me. It was crushing to see that visual e

Ok, perhaps it's not exceptionally old. But the point is, while the codes are pretty good now, much of the stock was built decades ago, long before the energy efficiency codes tightened up. When many of the houses in Silicon Valley wer

You underestimate how much efficiency we've gained. Have you looked up what old fridges used to use? Or compared a 56% AFUE furnace against a 96% unit? Trucks used to get like 6-8mpg, now some get 30mpg.

The 1.2TSI is presumably designed to replace a naturally aspirated 1.6L or 2.0L, not to compete with the 1.0L.

IMO California suffers from pride/nationalism on a state level. I grew up there, and everybody took it for granted we were the best at the environment. The most efficient, the most conservation minded, the works. But I left ten years a

What do you like about large cars? The ability to haul cargo? The style? Are you problematically tall?
