Overnight guests are typically banned, but I've never seen an Airbnb listing that says you can't have someone over for a cup of tea.

Filming what happens next has often been proposed as a great revenue driver.

Where are you going to find a counterweight in space? Launching two Starships is much easier than trying to capture an asteroid or something.

A friend of a friend worked at NASA on essentially this, except that instead of fitting Japanese candy in a box, they were fitting cargo into the Space Shuttle. As you can imagine this introduces a whole slew of new complications, notably mass distribution and that things must be unloaded in a certain order.

That book dates back to 2003, only a few years after the Tajik civil war ended.

What, no Simutrans?
Don't be put off by the, uhh, legacy graphics and quirky UI, like Dwarf Fortress it has the the depth of decades of development (and the learning curve isn't quite as murderous).

No, he knocked out the two routers serving the entire country. NK sites were inaccessible to the outside world, and outside sites were inaccessible to NK.

Only the lines in/out. NK has their own intranet which is completely separate from the global internet, which was presumably entirely unaffected by this.

I suspect that's for regular olive-sized capers with the stem attached? The article is about peppercorn-sized baby capers, where you could fit thousands into a jar that big.

The caper jars in question are too small for a normal teaspoon to fit into.
Me, I use a tiny little dessert fork. Also means you get only the capers and not the juice, which you don't want anyway.

Vinegar is acidic, which stops the bacteria from reproducing.

Infused oils don't fall under most people's mental model of "canning" though.

It's not quite that straightforward: botulism can only happen if the garlic contains botulinum spores, which it probably does not. But if it does, and you don't heat, acidify, or otherwise stop them from reproducing, you may get botulism.
Botulism gets a lot of press but it's actually pretty rare, there were all of 18 food-borne cases in the US in 2018: https://www.cdc.gov/botulism/surv/2018/index.html
Compare to, say, norovirus, which is implicated in ~20 million cases of food poisoning per year. The numbers are not directly comparable, because there are doubtless unrecorded cases of botulism, but we're still talking 6 orders of magnitude here.

Sigh, autocorrupt strikes again.
