How about a “This day in Automotive History” or something similar? I’m sure there are a bunch of automotive records, historical racing news, and other trivia which would make a good piece of content, and since you know the dates far in advance you can always be researching a good item?

Duct tape and Kapton tape are quite different. Duct tape is cloth-back or otherwise reinforced, and Kapton tape was developed to be highly resistant to heat (and does not contain any reinforcement fibers). They were developed for different purposes.

I’m pretty sure the Venn diagram of “rabid KISS fans” and “people who get excited about Minis” looks more like a pair of binoculars: OO

Mine was a renewal. I wonder if length of time holding a passport matters? I’ve had one for about 25 years (prior to this renewal) for reference.

Having seen all the advice to renew early, I sent in my passport the last week of July (it didn’t expire until Februray, 2021, but hey - where am I going to travel in the meantime?). I tracked it through the website and the day after they acknowledged receiving it I was told I was approved. The next day I got an email…

About 20 years ago my mother gifted me a copy of the Moosewood Cookbook when I graduated from college and got my own apartment. She borrowed it back at some point and then had to replace it (for reasons I don’t recall). I don’t think I’ve ever made a bad recipe from it. I often use it as inspiration and find it’s easy…

Baruch dayan ha’emet. Condolences on your loss.

Toda rabah! B’hatzlacha!

Bigger question: can your canoe hold your Pao?

Welcome back! Looking forward to see how you may put your stamp on Gizmodo’s direction!

Luxardo also makes a great addition to lemonade for an easy summer sipper. :-)

Yeah, I know that now. I was young(er) and dumb(er) then. :-/

I had one! 1989 Accord LXi 2-dr, 5 speed, with factory moon roof and the pop-up headlights (that both still popped up). I loved that car... drove it to 200,000 miles when the distributor cap cracked. At that point the car was 13 years old, I was gainfully employed and decided I could afford a new car (though all these…

Eufy HomeVac (https://www.eufylife.com/products/variant/homevac/T2401111). I have an older model, and while I don’t recall how long it’s supposed to last for, I can clean my entire home (about 1,400 sft) on a single charge. Bag free, and easy to dump out the accumulated debris. I periodically rinse the filter in the…

In you list of steps, should step 1 have the web address of where you can access the chatbot?

Plus Codes (or Open Location Codes), at https://plus.codes/ have been around for years (at least since early 2016, based on the WayBack Machine at https://web.archive.org/web/20150314015244/http://plus.codes:80/). They’ve been a useful way to communicate locations without street addresses (as you note), and since…

I have several M42 lenses that I use with my digital Fuji via an adapter. There’s something really satisfying about nailing the focus with an old manual lens, and the equivalent lengths and focal stops would be cost-prohibitive in a modern, electronic lens. I have several old Russian and Japanese lenses (my favorites…

Hear nothing? That’s the sloth-speed “whooshing” noise passing over your head... </sarcasm>

We’re talking about sloths... it’s entirely possible that they were just too slow to get out of the way of the dirt that eventually covered them up...
