OP makes zero comments about content generation, and the complaint is about upscaling introducing artifacts not in the original source. No different than hating a bad 4k remaster / sharpening.
From the Boston(ish) area, the Smithsonian has a 200 year old house they reconstructed from Ipswich. Really cool exhibit detailing all the different people that went through it and the renovations it underwent.
The price for a single trip will be €120,00. The price for a return trip will be €160,00. This is part of the total cost price based on the EASA cost-sharing principle."
Addressed in the article! Apartment buildings need less elevators than offices since residents tolerate longer waits. There's still elevators, just less.
Fair! I was trying to be both succinct and communicate the setback to someone who might not follow the details. For those who might know TACF is working on seeds and makes them (with some hoops) attainable to the public, ceasing that distribution is the news.
The current seeds given to the public the ACF were counting on have very poor survival/growth metrics and they're giving up on that line; big shame as those are the seeds they offered to donors (and thus a way of getting involved as as outsider).
The land is interchangeable, and 'human food corn' encompasses a lot more than just corn eaten directly by humans. Almost every processed food in the US uses some corn derived product; and animal feed is still part of the supply chain for human food.
To tag on to the others, the former 'chief of disguises' for the cia does interviews[1] all the time, I think also on the board for the Spy Museum (and featured quite a bit in it about both disguises and being a woman). Depending on their personality, why not play up the 'former cia/fbi/nsa' thing to educate/entertain/lend legitimacy to their business?
To bring it back: Governmental policy vs individual choice? If I, a consumer of electricity want to reduce my GHG impact, I can only lobby the source of my electricity so much. Rooftop solar might be less efficient than gridscale for the system, but it's something the individual can do.
I haven't kept up with the debate over the 'Mediterranean' diet, has there been a consensus of the benefits of the diet? IIRC, a big flaw in the proponents of the trend was that a lot of those benefits -- cardiovascular, weight, etc -- could also be attributed to the lower stress and more active lifestyles in those cultures compared to Americans.
Overwatch is a particularly interesting example to use here -- the reason the Boston Uprising exist is precisely because Blizzard went with the city based team model of traditional sports. I agree with the premise of your comment, but /most/ games have teams dissociated with locale, and OW is the outlier in that regard.
To your point, the Boston Pride are in a traditional sport and not as well known either. I'm sure Boston has a soccer club too but I wouldn't know their name.
Transit companies get shafted in municipal budgets politically. Increasing ridership by increasing frequency (more drivers / more cheap diesel or lng buses) is a better investment of limited budgets than electrification.
But also sometimes transit agencies just do dumb things (see, Boston de-electrifying a few bus lines).
Disagree - especially in cities -, but I think road design is a better way of enforcing speed limits. If everyone is going faster than the speed limit, the road is the problem not the limit.
Boston is /very/ walkable, the whole city can be walked end to end in a few hours and Somerville is one of the densest neighborhoods in the U.S.
I'll also say D.C. (and to some extent Northern Virginia and select parts of Maryland) makes car ownership optional, the transit system does a good job of covering a lot of neighborhoods.
I've been to a few college towns that also, by necessity, are dense and are walkable or at least bikeable oasis in otherwise rural areas.
As a freshman who took the course that uses this book, I can say I'm still cursing the name. I figure some of the value will become clearer, but aside from commenting functions clearly and testability of code, I don't think I got much of value from it.
