Cool though still a bit confusing, like what’s a “Device file”? Also so many of those are so similar in use like /usr and /sbin. Why would one be used over another?

I think they are actually molasses flavoured toffee if it’s the ones I’m thinking of. Always left to the very last, only to be consumed in the more dire of candy draughts

If the reaction of the kids who come to my door is any indication the best is ring pops. You can sometimes hear kids shouting to other ones down the street “hey, this place has ring pops!”

Worst: those molasses toffees with the orange/white/black wrapper

I would guess those large SUV’s are built on heavy duty truck frames but not worked nearly as hard as a truck would be so they tend to last longer?

Mathias Wandel on YouTube made some good videos a few years ago about maximizing airflow through a house with fans. One big finding was that rather than having a fan directly in a window or door pointing out it is actually best to have it a few meters away and directed at the opening. That allows the fan’s airstream pull in and start moving much more air in the room out the opening. He used strips of paper hanging in doorways around the house and also I think took anemometer readings to get good measures of the airflow.

I think the general theory is to run the fans starting in the evening once the air temp outside is lower than inside, then close up the house in the morning to trap the cool overnight air?

Thanks, now I’m thinking about two different classic Canadian movies, Canadian Bacon and Men With Brooms

Vanishing Point

I got mine at ThinkGeek but I think they’ve gone bankrupt now so I’m not sure where you’d find one these days.

The removal of borders on buttons. I don’t know how many times I’ve been using a piece of software and haven’t realized for a long while that some icon is actually a clickable thing and not just some UI decoration or something.

The removal of text in favor of icons. I hate having to memorize what all your icons mean in your app. Please just make text unless it’s something insanely obvious. It’s even worse when they neglect to put tool tips to tell you what the icon is supposed to mean

There’s an interview with one of the researchers who found this on quirks and quarks last weekend. Quirks and quarks is a long running science show on CBC in Canada. Rather interesting, the scientist said at first they thought maybe the flood waters had washed the wood into that formation or something but there are apparently clear tool marks and signs it was deliberately formed.
