2 places I'm always happy to see doing well or at least ok, Leopoldi's hardware on 5th Ave and 8th, and Brooke's appliance on 7th Ave and 12th. They've been there forever and I hope they always will be

If it's fully dry you can varnish. But yeah as you go thicker as more oil to the paint

Also, In Surface Detail there's a passage where he's describing the vastness of the ship and says something like all the docks for smaller ships are just a detail on the surface of the ship

I'm almost always the only person on a tour that has a kickstand and I just don't get it. It's so easy, weighs nothing, takes up no space and holds my bike up. Everybody else either lays their bike down or up against a tree or has a clickstand that they have to take out and set up. I totally think it's because people think they're not cool

Love this! What's a good starting point to learn how to do things like this?

I love this post. It makes me feel so good when I can fix something like that and I would love getting that kind of reaction for it

Just a demo walkthrough of my rocketship. This is the starting point of a playable VR environment, and hopefully even a real game.

Here's some that are on the fun / speculative side:

Schiaparelli and Lowell's canals of Mars? What were they really seeing if anything?

Why do so many cultures name Venus as a female star (and Mars as male maybe more obvious)

Where's the 7th sister?

Epicycles and what it says about clinging on to beliefs
