Is there a good introductory text on total lifecycle considerations?
That is, 55-year-old cars are driving around Cuba, spewing last-mile pollution* into the air. Somewhere else, one Cuban Buick could be represented by ~8-10 "new" cars over the years (each of which would have simultaneously served as used cars for someone else for a while). Somewhere else might be a planned-city built from nothing, but based around long-lasting mass transportation vehicles.
* Please spread this term around if it is not already in circulation.
Yeah! Thanks. I had never even heard of an Advent calendar until a year ago. I have not found when/why some of them have the dates out of sequence, but that's a separate question.
I do not know the technical details, but over the last decade (??) or so, our local messages have often been scratchy and the text non-standard. The wording is so bad sometimes that one is not sure until the very end if it really was "only a test."
I sometimes wonder if the low gravity would make Mars a good retirement planet for arthritics. Not so little that your bones decay, but not so much that your joints ache all 25-hour day?
Thanks, Ganty. I had almost forgotten about my friend's old Sonly laptop that overheated. About one day after the warranty expired, Sony's price for a motherboard went from ~$100 to ~$1200.
I'm sure the lever industry balked when someone suggested cable operation for bicycle brakes.... As long as both brakes do not fail simultaneously, some sort of a stop will be possible. Reliability will probably be the same as or better than we have today, and it will no longer be necessary to lubricate and route a bunch of ugly cables.
Per wikipedia, the 787B was allowed to run at 830 kg while the competition was at 1000 kg. As happy as I am that they won, it is kind of hard to call that a race.

ASL.... I thought for a moment that you were referring to A/S/L.
...the Analogue Millennium Copyright Act.
Or Something.

What some bicycle people are doing may be similar to what you are trying to do (or not).

I suppose the field of rooting would be called rootics.
Have you never heard of Rule 34?
Yeah! Thanks. I had never even heard of an Advent calendar until a year ago. I have not found when/why some of them have the dates out of sequence, but that's a separate question.
...I'm seeing a blog. Is there an Advent calendar somewhere that I'm missing?
Mod parent down. (If only I had mod points.) Wait!
The book is called @Large.

Spoken like a true Engrish major.
This term seems to be here used as a figure of speech. Maybe a less-confusing, less provocative term could have been used?
Ron Paul was born in 1935. He is older than the DC-3.
I saw that movie! And it's almost the Fifth of November!

Brings back fond memories!

I can't wait for this! Derailleurs next!
