Duke is on a flagpole behind a house across the lagoon. He was there from about 2pm to 4:30. He just flew off.

Re: Bosch 12v Cordless Drill

Worth mentioning that this Bosch 12v/10.8v drill comes in what they call Flexi-Click which gives you 4 interchangeable chucks. One to hold screwdriver bits, a conventional drill bit holder, an off-set for getting into corners, and a right angle chuck for getting in tight places. Milwaukee and DeWalt have since released similar multi chuck drivers, but Bosch's is the smallest.

Are those 17" wheels? The low profile looks it, but they look narrower than past 17" tire sizes.

Re: Sidewalk Labs to build the city of the future in Toronto

Is the design practice "Sidewalk Labs" owned by licensed design professionals? If not, it sounds like what would be regarded in the US as an illegal offering of professional services. Just wondering.

Re: Opinion: What’s Wrong With Shipping Container Housing? Everything

lavardera — Thu, 13 Jul 2017 17:29:50 -0000

For the most part all of these design proposals are rubbish. At the most fundamental level you can not stack container boxes the way they are shown in the illustrations. The boxes have to stack on the corner castings, or you are carrying out extensive reinforcements to each box so that it could reside in only one place in that stack. What this is really is an embarrassing display of incompetence by the profession. We have to do better than this architects. You are more than a stylist. If you can't become technically competent please go plague some other industry.

Re: A dumb home needs a smart wall

I'm not entirely correct on that: "This species is notorious for feeding on clothing and natural fibers; they have the ability to digest keratin protein in wool and silk. The moths prefer dirty fabric for oviposition and are particularly attracted to carpeting and clothing that contains human sweat or other organic liquids which have been spilled onto them; traces of dirt may provide essential nutrients for larval development. Larvae are attracted to these areas not only for the food but for traces of moisture; they do not require liquid water."

Moths eat the dirt on the wool - clean wool should not attract moths.

I don't mean to minimize the significance of this to personal safety, but that said the scale and matter of deception carried out by VW still renders this problem "tiny" by comparison.

10 million here, 20 million there, for something thats tiny compared to Volkswagon's problems. When do we see the tab on those violations?

Off topic complaint here - the new layout is great, but you have to take the time and care to standardize your leading photo sizes. Otherwise as you scroll down page the copy is shifting up and down as your leading photos cycle and the bottom margin of the lead photo area shifts. Its making me seasick!

As I expected the EPA has identified that this emissions cheat is present in other VW group diesels, so now the scandal (and the penalties) spread to Porsche and Audi.
