The Murray Darling Basin is part of this natural geographic of the land, where an ancient inland ocean once flourished. Ocean sediments, the weathering of rocks and rainfall over millions of years formed the Murray/Darling Basin’s landscapes and rivers.

Still originally sea salt, just like all the other mined salts.

All salt is sea salt.

That’s kind of true for Amtrak everywhere except a few dedicated Acela lines in the east. The rest of their trains run on freight rail and freight trains get priority.

It depends on which line you take. Amtrak has different service levels on different routes. When I took the coast starlight from Seattle to San Jose it was wonderful, with clean cars, great food, and courteous service. When I took the southwest chief from LA to the middle of the country, it was a completely different experience. The porters were still friendly but the equipment was grungy and frequently broken and the food was about what you’d get at Denny’s. Bear in mind that both times I was in a ridiculously expensive first class cabin.

I’ve never taken the empire builder, which runs east-west across the northern part of the country, but I’ve read that it’s a “premier” service, so it should be on par with the coast starlight.

Edit: c/grey food/great food/

When I’m playing civilization vi and I found a religion, I always call it “goatseism” in his honor.

Mint Oreos are good, but lemon Oreos are great

RFC 2549 is such an important improvement over RFC 1149. Everyone should adopt the updated standard.

It’s nice to see an actual technology post, instead of business news about tech and tech adjacent companies which is the usual fare here

Inmate number is most appropriate

I’m not any kind of expert but I seem to recall that turning air conditioners off and on with a switched outlet is a bad thing… something to do with how they start and stop the compressor.

Also, unless you have no choice, stick with the dual hose models, because the single hose ones end up pushing conditioned air out the window. Even if a single hose model has a theoretically higher efficiency, it won’t translate to the real world because it’s blowing cooled air out the window.

Hacking something to replace the unit’s power button is probably your best option

And threads

The site is called medium because it’s rare to find anything well-done.

I’ll go you one better: ketchup is the ONLY condiment I want on my hot dog! (Yes, I eat like a 4 year old)

Yeah, that joke hit hard in my (red)neck of the woods because it was 100% true.

Reminds me of my Uncle Kieth's house in the 1970s. He had a color TV but the sound didn't work, so he put an old black & white portable TV on top of it for sound. When you wanted to change the channel, you had to get up and change them both.

But not everything that kills you is fun

april fools day should die in a fire and burn to ash.

...not that I'm bitter

Popular opinion: I fscking hate the 1st of April. It’s not funny anymore. Stahp
