To achieve this aim, we initially compared the chemical properties of spent tea and coffee powders with those of their raw forms. Subsequently, three supplemented cake blends...
I’m only just hearing about the suite from skiff.com and curious if anyone here uses it. They’ve been around for 3 years and apparently offer an open sourced encrypted suite. They’re mainly known a Google Docs alt, but I just learned they offer encrypted mail, calendar, and cloud (10GB for free) along with their docs....
This looks really nice. I've been using mailfence for a long time, it isn't open source, and it hasn't gained any functionality. It just isn't very functional. I wonder if one can use skiff with a different email address?

My last (and first) smart phone lasted me for 6.5 years. It received one OS update, and stopped receiving any other updates about three years in. I was never concerned. My current phone is about 3.5 years old, didn't receive the OS update in May, and I wonder how long it will receive security updates.
Anyway, it's the sort of stuff like this article talks about, that I never heard of in 2017, that makes me wonder if I'll get another three years out of this device. Maybe with Lineage.
I typically chew a single stick of Extra mint for over an hour and have frequently chewed one single stick for closer to four. No exaggeration! Not very minty or chewy at that point tho.

I think it's cool you have those options, but I wonder how common it is to have options. I have always heard that 'because people don't have those options' as a reason to make it essential. Except where I moved to this year, nowhere I have lived in the past 20 years had multiple options except back when Internet via phone line was an option.
Electricity is essentially everywhere people live. There are entire towns located in places without mobile phone service and quite possibly very poor or no internet access.
Ya maybe! I fully agree that more options could possibly be better, but also that one is better than none is done correctly. But "correctly" is probably dubious...
Another thing you touched on is pricing. This is something that ostensibly regulation would help with.
I recently bought a shag rug for my living room. Not realizing that the motor/actuator for my electric recliner sat directly over the floor, the fibers got caught in the actuator which is now seized and no longer functions. The motor is still fine, however, so if I could find a way to dissolve the polyester fibers and clean up...
I just discovered this mag and thought I might post something! I am going on my annual river trip with friends next week, but this year I have my own boat. It's a packraft, I'm pretty excited.
I wonder if this will drive migrations patterns in the near future? Certainly US drivers tend to travel pretty far, every day, just to get to work. Will we see a trend of folks relocating to larger towns and cities for smaller or no automotive commute?
What an excellent point. I take that to mean infrastructure, specifically things like services. That would be a challenge to overcome especially if these new dwellers were not making more income. I hope bunkhouses do not become a standard, but I think the tiny room idea is pretty nice. I don't need my own kitchen, either!
No, I actually had not heard of tiny rooms before so maybe I should be careful with what I wish for 😬 I have stayed in bunkhouses and had a mixed bag. Some were really nice, but one I remember being able to hold hands from our beds. It was pretty close. More like a barracks. I guess like anything else, good design matters!
I'll look into the tiny rooms. I am now picturing those little pods on Tokyo...
Wow! What kind of oak do these grow on? We don't really have oak near where I live but I don't remember seeing anything like this when I have been near oak.
These are some interesting talking points regarding our "rental" of services, property, etc. It seems like the EU is intent on, in varying degrees, regulating this, but not so much anywhere else. But nowhere is doing anything holistically in my opinion.
For me, politician. You have to exploit the worst low instincts of the people to get elect and say what they want to hear, even if you don't think a word about it, and you are not obligated to hold any of your promises.
I would say any public-facing government job. Dealing with the public's varying and sometimes unrealistic expectations, changing leadership and direction, and even government employee-hating coworkers can leave one rather jaded.
“If anything, the number is probably quite a bit higher,” says podcast guest Ben Goldfarb, environmental journalist and author of the new book https://www.bengoldfarb.com/crossings.
The quote is actually stating that the number of animals killed is, if anything, higher. Not that we could save more than millions. In case anyone else misunderstood.
As I understand these crossings, they are really only functional in locations where natural features have forced travel patterns into a small area. They are not useful in large, open land. So, essentially, in perhaps most places. Also, not all other animals want to use these. Some prefer to actually go underneath the roadway. All of this would have to be learned behavior, yes? I mean, bridges and tunnels generally do not exist in the wild.

At what age would you stop buying presents for nieces and nephews? I have 3 and they’re all officially out of college now. They live in a different state. When they were little kids the presents made sense but now it seems forced. I just don’t know how to transition away other than just not doing it.
