Ooh! Ooh! Combine this with the John Cage! Play 4'33" fourteen times, then Astley for the 15th track.

My playlist will be the album Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band. In fact, maybe I'll just select my three favorites from that album, Ella Guru, Frownland, and Veterans' Day Poppy, and repeat them five times.

I'm in the mood to fuckin' piss some people off.

That surprised me, too. Thee article mentions that Costco installed charging stations "in the 1990s."

 

Companies see charging as a potentially profitable business in and of itself, not just as a spur for foot traffic and sales.

That is a great piece of art

Whoa! That's fantastic!

How are you getting it to stand up? Mine droops over the side no matter how I try to support it.

Agreed on all counts. I've never thought of my AeroGarderns as IoT devices and in fact never configured the wi-fi, which was always kind of a goofy stunt anyway: It's got front panel controls.

Strong recommend for soma.fm. ONE of their stations will have what you're looking for.

Why tf is the OP's comment to a reasonable question being downvoted so hard?

I love docs about civil engineering, especially bridges and dams. Modern Marvels has a couple of good episodes on the subject, told/produced in that program's typical format, including the Golden Gate Bridge and The Hoover Dam.

But my favorite is a 1997 episode of Nova called Super Bridge ( https://thetvdb.com/series/nova/episodes/1357201 ). The footage is great, the narration is great (I think its Hal Holbrook!), the storytelling is great, and it showed a great deal of stuff I didn't know I would be fascinated by, while remaining down to earth.

Seconded for Pikmin Bloom. it really his am walking app as much as much as it is a game. I like Pokemon Go and Ingress too (from the same company), but this is the lightest weight, cutest, and most suited to being able to put it away during your walk if you want.
