you wont like the way it finds though

You can do better than that.

big swooping concrete highways are pretty, in a mid-century-brutalist sort of way.

Just buy a Measuring Wheel and skip building your own mechanisms. It's designed to be rolled over the ground for long distances, but there's no reason you can't use it to measure thread rolling over the wheel.

If your string keeps falling off the wheel, you can glue cardboard guides to keep it in line.

Can't wait to read those memoirs, at least of the ones who live long enough to publish.

lolwut? What is it then? 10A is a perfectly reasonable residential current at 240v.

It wouldn't matter if the commanding officer gave two shits about anyone in his command.

What makes a genomic library high or low quality? Few errors? Faithful representation of the original?

What makes a genome "High quality"?

Makes you wonder if they hit that same bottleneck before we wiped them out.

>as a City badly wanting to increase collections this seems like a no brainer.

DC has transit that isn't completely awful.

Baltimore is very post-industrial, although we do handle a ton of shipping. There are two paths a culture can follow after industry: drugs and art. Baltimore has doubled down on both paths.

The fun part is that different parts of the city become postindustrial at different times, so they mature and age in different ways. There's a ton of textile mills and sailcloth factories and ropewalks, but also later factories like meat packing plants and piles of other stuff.

The cycle of industries doesn't seem to have stopped either - we're very focused on medicine these days.
