I used to live at sea level and never had a problem cooking rice on a stove. But I’ve moved to 5200 feet and cannot get the hang of cooking it at a mile elevation. I wonder if the fancy cookers take high-altitude conditions into account.

People used to cut their own trees out in the woods. Few manicured tree farms back then.

Everyone is different. My wife says she’d be more interested in sex if more men were invovled.

Show me.

Up until mid-adolescence this always worked for my kids:

It depends on the schools’ requirements. Math, physics, computer science, and philosophy majors often have to take classes that focus on critical thinking for example. E.g. Mathematical proofs in higher level math, finite math or algorithms in CS, etc. For some students, it's the first time they've faced any kind of

I was at the UN Conference mentioned here. The focus was both refreshing and depressing. Refreshing because it was about moving forward with specific measurable actions instead of just looking at the data. Depressing, because some countries are clearly not fully engaged.

It’s old now, but the “Adventures of Pete and Pete” hold up pretty well, and are clearly meant to be fully enjoyed by adults. E.g. Having Iggy Pop play a stick-in-the-mud dad.

We just installed one last week. We have solar panels, but they can’t quite keep up with the use of the AC.

We have solar on our house (5.1kws), and have enjoyed a 1 for 1 credit/use arrangement with our electric grid utility. But the utility is making noises about trimming that 1:1 ratio down to something like 4:10, citing the expenses on their side to handle my excess energy production. If that happens, I’ll have to look

Could you do both? Keep your Power Wall topped off, and send any excess to the gird?

NSIDC also has a portal for viewing the flight lines of all the IceBridge flights as well as a way to access the instruments and data products themselves:

George W. Bush Memorial Library?

carcecutioner, execartioner? You could go several ways with your title.

I hope McDonald's isn't forced to raise the price on its filet-o-fish!

I work with a lot of people with military academy class rings. I have no issue with those. The rest seem silly on anyone over 30.

The thing that has stuck with me about visiting Whittier is dealing with a rental car there. I had go to a general store that was also the rental car place. The store itself had pretty much everything from fishing gear to medical supplies for stitching up major wounds. But the odd thing to me was the whole place

For the sake of argument, let's assume the statement is correct. Think about what an indictment of the US transit system that is. "Look, this is really the best we can do. Sorry not sorry."

"The Prisoner" ? I watched it a year or so ago, and it still holds up pretty well.
