If you're just looking for an engine that recommends you music based off your likes, the FOSS community could utilize the Music Genomoe Project to build a tool too do that based one a folder or Playlist of music provided to it. I would be surprised if there already wasn't a FOSS tool to do that.
There's also been some major leaps in dark matter physics in the last few years. Revisiting primordial black holes using lasers and microlensing might actually be able to get supporting evidence here before long if the hypothesis holds.
PBS Space Time has a good video breaking this possibility and methodology down.
I mean, Wallingford has some awesome peeps too. I'm not "from" here, but was brought into the fold by some locals 15 years ago and have had many house party encounters with people that have lived here their entire lives and families have been here for generations (good buddy of mine has family dating back to the founding of Ballard).
And we are all hanging out all over the city partying. Crocodile, Tractor Tavern, El Corazon, Nectar Lounge, Comet, Columbia City Theater, OG Funhouse, Nuemos & Barboza, and sooo much more.
Seattle is a fun city. And if you can find your peeps, this place will raise you up.
Lost the cheese after I took it out of the fridge, put it down, grabbed a knife, and turned around and it was gone. Started looking for it, forgot what I was doing and why I had a knife. 15 minutes later I'm in the living room shaving a yak with a kitchen knife and my wife walked in, looked at me and asked me why there was a block of cheese on the TV stand, completely ignoring the fact that I'm shaving a yak with a kitchen knife in the living room.
Hell, in 2000 I had teachers that wouldn't take printed reports because not everybody had access to a computer for their work even though I did. Kids these days will never know the finger cramping pain of doing 20 page, college ruled, hand written papers.
There's been a push in higher education and professional markets for a STEAM education paradigm over STEM. Especially when you consider that there's a ton of crossover between tradition STEM education and arts in modern day professionals (User Experience relies on all 5 domains for delivering truly great UX for example).
I grew up on the lower end of middle class. Govnment cheese grilled cheese sammies is definitely something I loved eating as a kid. This forced us to be industrious. My parents gardening, did their own DIY home improvements, woodworking, hunting, and more. They weren't survivalists because of some doomsday shit, but lived this way because we couldn't afford not to if we wanted to live in a house in a big city suburb in the late 80s & 90s. Over time, my mother took on work utilizing the skills she gained doing the stuff for ourselves and we slowly climbed out of the near poverty life and I was able to have nice things in my teens.
I'm now doing well for myself, solidly middle class in this economy and region. But as things are shifting like crazy around us, I just decided to turn my yard into a garden so I can at least feed myself fresh food if shit becomes unavailable or unsafe to eat. If I have to start hunting again, I will.
I'm not panicking, I'm just going to control what I can, and will do my best to have a good life, and will fight for everybody else to have a chance at a good life too.
For example I've seen both Pompeii & King Tutt exhibits in San Diego that have since rotated. I've also seen other traveling exhibits in several other major cities I've lived in that were far more than art.
Many cities also have free admission days to museums for people that live nearby (depends on the institution but it could be for City/County/State).
With this knowledge, you too, can now learn and explore societies that predate written word.
Or create leaf mold (a pile of sticks and leaves) in targeted areas of your yard/property that are ideal for breeding fireflies and other desired native insects/spiders. Especially if you live in an HOA community that requires reqular raking and can hide the leaves under bushes/shrubs/trees/garden beds as mulch.
Raking of leaves isn't really the problem so much as is the complete removal of leaves from the property & neighborhood (which also removes the nutrients from the local top soil).
Nah, just your typical PhD paleontologist dinosaur nerd. The times they showed that side of Ross was probabaly some of the most realistic moments in the show.
