The sealed Biodome turned out not to be completely self-sustaining, IIRC. Very interesting tour, recommended if you are ever out that way. It is still being used for various research projects.

That's all true. But it still needs to pencil out somehow, unless the community has some kind of sugar daddy.

Also correlates with increasing income equality. Just sayin'.

Money. It probably wouldn't pencil out for them if there were fewer units on that particular piece of land.

Long-time user of StarWalk on my iphone. There are others, but I stick with what I know!

Yup. Dump more energy into a system and entropy - i.e. chaos - increases. It's the law! "Normal" weather is becoming a thing of the past.

You know it hurts to see that. I can't imagine how desperate you'd have to be to stay in a filthy hulk like that. I also can't imagine owning something that expensive and just dumping it. Thanks for posting this.

Yup. Just like a bear!

Probably a state law that at least some state timberland land must be managed to produce money, rather than for multiple use, recreation use, or to preserve environmental values. This kind of law is pretty common in the western states.

Hello there, my permanent address is Seattle area. I'm there maybe two weeks out of the year, but the Cascades are definitely in my bailiwick. My life is undergoing some truly drastic changes this year, so I'm not sure exactly when I'll be back, but I definitely will be! Maybe we'll connect...

Science is always finding out more. So no, not the end. There are some things we are pretty sure won't change, or if they do, it will mean we're all dead anyway. For instance, the direction from which the sun "rises". This will not change as long as the earth remains in its current orbit. Which...

Personally, I find it easier to keep warm than to stay cool, so I would be very interested in this paint. However I doubt it is the kind of paint you could simply brush on...

Like all legumes, soy contains sugars, protein, and fat. Paulette may have issues with one, two, or all three of the components. Figuring out which is a process of elimination. The process may or may not be worth it to her. Does she also have problems with ordinary beans, or is it just soy...

I use the Doody Bags. Once that inner bag is sealed, there's no odor that I can detect. I can typically get three uses before I need to dispose of it. I can usually plan things so that I don't need to store the sealed bag for long. But if I need to, I just pop into any plastic bag until I can...

Can't speak for anyone else. The sun's corona is the single most magical thing I've ever seen. Photos and videos don't do it justice - in order to see how it dances, you must see it live. Also, it has an amazing emotional resonance for me. To think that what used to be a dreadful and...

OK, so who's going? And where will you be?

Jason, sounds kinda like a nightmare to me. No good deed goes unpunished... I think you should let someone else organize Van Aid next time. Preferably someone who is criticizing you for the way you are doing it!

Well, DANG! That is not the best of news, hope she feels better soon...

My experience from the last eclipse is that people do in fact pull off the road anywhere. The big hassle is when the traffic gets going again. I-5 was a very slow-moving parking lot for HOURS after the event. It took me 18 hours (including a couple of breaks) to get from Salem Oregon to Vashon...

I sympathize, the FB format drives me crazy for those same reasons! I much prefer the board format for any kind of in-depth discussion. And you'll find that many of our discussions are applicable no matter what your vehicle type. So where are you now?
