A Very Brady Sequel.

I would have thought so too, but they’re working on at least one. Although you’re right about a lot of places being unfeasible–anything more than dirt/gravel in a very limited number of communities would be cost prohibitive.

Those are the exact things I’m looking for (just waiting for a few more roads to connect towns). I’m glad to hear it’s living up to the expectations I’ve heard of!

I went to Iceland a couple years ago and the landscapes are amazing, but there are definitely areas where you run into a lot of tourists, busses, etc.

I’m visiting the Faroe Islands later this year and I’m hoping to experience some rugged landscapes in relative isolation there too.

I’d definitely like to go there someday too–it’s just a bit too remote for me at the moment.

I can see its tourism becoming what Iceland was like 15-20 years ago.

I think Greenland will fit the premise of your question in a few years.

There’s not a ton of tourism infrastructure yet, but there are currently a lot of subsidies going into roads, airports, lodging, etc. to induce more tourism.

Fallout 76. Granted, I played it almost a year after release.

I found it to be a very good game overall. Not as good as New Vegas or FO3, but I thought it was better than FO4.

That’s where the “definitely just a balloon, don’t pay any attention” landed after the Chinese spy balloon was shot down about a year ago.

At least that’s the first time I heard of Dead Horse.

Here’s a really good podcast episode from 99% Invisible about this exact topic.

Alas, Babylon. Earth Abides. On The Beach. The Road. One Second After (this one is meh).

If you want some other good collapse survival books similar to Lucifer’s Hammer.

Same here (northern Midwest US) for new construction. Although, to clarify, they’re still generally routed/ducted through the attic and exit through an exterior wall.

Pretty sure you’re remembering “Life After People” from the History channel.

That article doesn’t make a fair comparison.

It compares murders (intentional, not legally justified killings) in the UK, to homicides (any and all killings) in the US.

Unfortunately since these are single pane windows most of the thermal performance issues will be due to the glass. Sealing this gap will help some, but it will be just a drop in the bucket.

Replacing the windows with insulated glass (two pane) windows is ideal. However that will be expensive.

The easiest/cheapest option will be the temporary cling-film type kits you can buy–you won’t be able to operate the windows, but that probably won’t be an issue in the winter. Properly sized/installed storm windows will help some too, and be significantly cheaper than new windows.

It’s a bit hard to tell in the pictures: is this a dual pane vinyl sliding window?

If it’s single pane (or single pane with a storm window) there isn’t a ton you can do. Most of the sound (and cold) will be coming though the glass. Anything you add will have a marginal improvement.

Assuming this is dual pane, there probably aren’t many place you’d be able to add weatherstrip that don’t already have some. So replacing any crushed/worn weatherstrip is one of the best things you could do.

Have you pinpointed exactly where drafts are coming through? You can use a candle/lighter to see where air is intruding. Oftentimes drafts are due to poor installation, and not necessarily the window construction.

Is this picture from the exterior? I’m guessing this is a fixed vinyl (as opposed to wood) window?

If it’s the exterior, that gap might be for water drainage. If it’s the interior it might be for equalizing interior and exterior pressure. I’m doubtful either is the case though.

Filling the gap is likely okay.

That’s not true at all. There are multiple copies of the original film. Only one of the original copies was damaged by Life.

I know it’s not the popular opinion, but I agree with your position in your first paragraph. I think the context does make a difference.

The chocolate pudding line is definitely weird, but also definitely racist.

What? Sandwiches definitely shouldn’t go days without refrigeration!?

Thanks for your response. Free speech is a nuanced topic and I appreciate well though out discussions about it.

I agree, It’s very hard to decide on a case by case basis what is and isn’t tolerable. That’s the main reason why I questions arguments for limiting speech–how can you make non-arbitrary distinctions between the two and who should have the authority to decide?

I think your example of speech advocating for women to not have the right to vote is a good subject to consider.

I agree, arguing that women shouldn’t have the right to vote is beyond rediciulous and in a vacuum, it would be reasonable to consider that speech intolerable. But on the other hand, wasn’t it freedom of speech that gave women the power to gain suffrage in the first place?

You mention drawing the distinction for intolerable speech at speech that limits the freedom of others. In an abstract sense I think that’s reasonable, but in practice I’m not so sure. Anti-suffragists often argued that granting women the right to vote infringed on their freedom. That’s obviously a morally wrong argument, but who should be allowed to decide that?
