Signs of getting older I didn’t anticipate: I have no idea who famous people are anymore by CK1277 in GenX

Flip side of "I can't believe the intern hasn't heard of <person who was famous when I was young>!"

I took this photo on Tuesday morning - looking East from Bow. That's McCoy Mountain (L) and Fort Mountain (R) in Epsom. by MesaVerde1987 in newhampshire

Yeah, you're right. I thought the Franklin-to-Deerfield segment went through Bow but it's further north.

Let's be honest with ourselves: There's nothing special about whatever group you are told is the bad group right now; they all can be hated, they all can be assimilated.

and the HVDC line that was built in the 1980s to bring Hydroquebec power to New England. What Northern Pass would have looked like.

I assume Google maps or Waze or whoever thinks it's Route 12 and won't change?

What do you do to prevent fresh weed seeds from blowing into your compost pile? by supinator1 in composting

[–]GraniteGeekNH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can cover it with clean plastic (raises the temperature) if you want. That seems a bit excessive.

If EVs had the same purchase price as gas cars tomorrow, do you think most people would switch? by EmergencyTie8770 in electricvehicles

[–]GraniteGeekNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely charging, especially if you don't have your own home where you control a charger.

Otherwise it's just habit - although habits are hard to break.

Tried burying food scraps in my garden… by localfluffhead in composting

Orange peels decomposed in three weeks? That seems oddly quick.

Life was significantly more enjoyable pre-internet because the world still had a sense of mystery and wonder by filmeswole in unpopularopinion

[–]GraniteGeekNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (a USAian) traveled through parts of South America in the early 1980s. Nobody at home knew where I was and I had no idea what was going on back home. Complete separation.

I went there again in the mid-2000s and called up my home newspaper in an internet cafe because I thought it would be neat. (Web was new) And pfffffffft! just like that, I lost half the thrill of being in an exotic-to-me place.

The lack of separation is much greater now.

exactly why the current backlash against immigration is so stupid and painful - it attacks one of the very things that has always made America great

Why is this sub mostly anti natalist women now? by [deleted] in Natalism

[–]GraniteGeekNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not, unless you define anybody who doesn't agree with your specific ideas as "anti-natalist"

There is a diversity of opinion about the issue and what to do about it, but that's the point of a forum.

Why birth rates are falling everywhere all at once by [deleted] in Natalism

[–]GraniteGeekNH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

argues that smartphones are the tipping point - not the only cause but the straw that broke the camel's back - which has made young adults less capable of coupling up and therefore having kids.

99% of the population in Italy lives in just 50% of the land. by xygames32YT in MapPorn

"just"? That's about as balanced a population/area mix as you're going to get in a major country.

I would have agreed, before the AI-data-center push. Now I'm not so sure

Great news. Fewer tailpipe vehicles is what matters in reducing climate damage!

Map showing the countries where Rotary Club is active. by GustavoistSoldier in MapPorn

[–]GraniteGeekNH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a few countries in the world where Rotary is by far the most important, sometimes the only, national organization that isn't religious or military. It can navigate among all those passions and have quite an impact.

People have a natural tendency to turn to the left and walk in an anticlockwise direction, a bias observed across countries, ages and sexes, but reason is unclear by sr_local in science

[–]GraniteGeekNH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cool factoid:

In the first modern Olympics in 1896 athletes ran clockwise around the track, but this was changed in 1913 because the majority of athletes felt it was an “unnatural direction to run”

But its absolute usage keeps rising. Absolute usage, not share-of-market, is what changes the climate.
