I see the cause is known; my question is about funding. How is this site funded? I've never seen a 'donate' page, etc., and I know web hosting costs money. Does the site owner(s) pay for the whole ride themselves? (if so, we owe them a debt of gratitude). (mods: if this is confidential...

Wet bulb temp / humidity of > 95F (35C) is the human viability limit. After that, cooling is required, as the human body can no longer cool itself sufficiently via perspiration. Humanity won't suffer extinction at that level, but there will be a LOT fewer people (not to mention, other life...

My inner cynic says someone owning the island puts only 1 house on it. Ok, and a guest house. But, hey, they'll still leave it 80% undeveloped. That's something, isn't it? Huh? :horse: We better get ready to embrace density. How much of the world's population lives within 10mi of a...

Damn it, now I have something else to buy. (and thanks to NYC Frank for finding it for me... I kinda collect coffee cups) :D

Not just that. US allows growth hormones and genenetically modified grain (mainly corn) to be given / fed to cattle. Europeans prefer more organic food, so US beef and pork purveyors go begging for customers outside the US. Another lost market is China (which consumes lots of pork, and a...

Too late to edit, so I'll update last post... The combo is not especially secure fit. More of a tight wobble. It won't fall off using it, but if you drop it, the two pieces will likely come apart (can be 'reassembled') For today, I'm using the combo. Liking the results.

So... I actually searched this thread, and didn't see it mentioned... and I know there are people beside me that have both devices... On a hunch, I took the top (oven) off of my Dani Fusion 2 XL Then I removed the bottom of my 14mm Tornado. The tornado oven slid over the Dani stem like... <...

I hope that the next time we visit the Moon, that the spacesuits are at least as equally robust as what we see here, 55-ish years ago. Still amazing that we managed to put them people there, when I was five years old. And in less than 10 years. Seems unfathomable, today.

Like Raspberry Pi, rewrit. I keep one Windows laptop, for my engine software. Everything else could run from a few RP boards, but I'm not that hard-core. Chromebooks (& phone!) for browsing (and they have UNIX underneath, so they can talk to the rest of my media / network. All this tech...

TYSM for that, @Choices -- gonna save me a lot of time (& butane). Which I appreciate. (you can tell I've just hit that 2nd Tornado bowl... welp, *that* didn't take long, even with a torch! G'nite, everybody! :wave:

Wow! It turns out Ghislane "had never been offered a plea deal" Really? So the idiots took over DOJ earlier than we thought? ::roll eyes:: DOJ--SMD!

So, as predicted... UPS left a box at my doorstep. Knew what it was as soon as I got out of the truck. 'Really is my lucky day', I say, as my trans build only ran up to $1800 from the original $1400. (PS: Even 1800 is cheap, trust me). Open up the box... and see that Vestratto shipping...

QUIET! Don't give the SOBs any ideas. I don't wanna have to go over what 'defenestration' means.

One of my favorite ones is when they performed as 'Li'l Rush'. And then the band used that clip to start the 2nd half of their show, during the last tour (and at least one before that last tour, IIRC, since the last tour was basically a rehash fans' greatest hits tour (same videos...

I'm another for temperature manipulation. Specifically, cold. Put it in a freezer for a few hours to overnight. Then take it out, and either try and bang it out (cloth between striking device (desk, soft-faced hammer, etc.), or use another (stronger magnet) to try and draw it out. If none...
