Many parts of Rubocop have creatively named robocop references and names. Robocop itself is satire. I think actual tools and software used by police departments should be causing more offense.

It's more interesting that they also walked on their heels like us which is apparently different from dinosaurs.

I thought blacklist was related to 'black out' meaning to censor something by blacking it out. I don't know, it's a cool word, words with colors in the names feel richer. Banlist/allowlist is simpler I guess, which is still nice.

Feels sluggish and scrolling is painful on my galaxy s6. It might be an old phone, but even so I can't recall any other websites being this slow.

I try to block all the web fonts I encounter. A lot of UI symbols aren't rendered which amusingly sometimes results in overlapping text descriptions. I just can't stand looking at certain fonts or ligatures and refuse to let a website decide how it renders text.

Can the same be done for smells?

What kind of movement is it?

Calling it a web of filaments doesn't paint a clear picture as to the movement itself.

Assuming it's synchronized, I think of child objects moving in sync with some kind of parent structure. That sounds ridiculous though.

Waste of money and space.

How exactly is wastewater distributed throughout the 500 acres? Article says a system of pipes. Is it percolating throughout the entirety of the pipes or are there just a few endpoints with massive ponds? Really interesting read.

Yes, she sells via Etsy. I would link her store page for the curious, but sellers on Etsy are really homogenous and so you can glean the same info from any of them probably.

Are farm workers excluded because it's easier? Wouldn't matter I suppose just curious.

Let's farm Azolla on a massive scale, trigger another Azolla event.

Also make it a law for buildings in urban environments to have white roofs. Heat islanding is a very real problem and just painting stuff white seems to help.

Not software related, but my sister makes and sells simple candlesticks online for that much each month.

I also resold earbuds/earplugs online for a years to get $1000-1500/mo. Seemed like a viable side project only taking up an hour or so every night to prepare packages, and then an extra 20 minutes to swing by the post office each morning.

Like others said, it's always a good idea to reduce your spending and try to save. You can even use that savings to occasionally fund projects without feeling too bad if something fails.
