Nibor Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 It’s the lack of sun in the winter that’s the hardest thing for me. Cold doesn’t bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China does this kind of crap too Im confused about Marble Hill, it's in the bronx and has a bronx zipcode but is considered part of Manhattan? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be sucking it up and doing it for the millionth time tomorrow. This is one reason it's hard to envision living on LI, It seems like it would feel very trapped having to go through the city to get anywhere. Maybe one day theyll make a bridge connecting the North Shore to the Continent, I know thats been discussed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the best way to put it is it's now its own island and not part of Manhattan island geographically but is still part of Manhattan politically. The Bronx zipcode thing I don't understand-- maybe they wanted to be part of both? I wonder what its zipcode was before the canal was made.

It's 2 hours to get right to Manhattan and then another hour and a half to get from Manhattan to SW Nassau. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marble Hill became an island in the Harlem River when it was separated from the island of Manhattan by the construction of the Harlem Ship Canal in 1895. 12 hours ago, LibertyBell said: lol yea, but it's mostly in jest it's a way to vent frustration at our climate. Sort of like how I change ocean/land distribution in Universe Sandbox lol. One time I dragged the solar system to a different part of the galaxy to see if it would trigger the next ice age. Stuff to do when a storm busts. Good morning Liberty, Julian. It’s early so my mind fog is clearing. As a result I’ve remembered another of ‘my fathers oft used sayings’ to my then usual annoyance, “many a true word is said in jest”. Oh, Liberty, in relation to another post regarding mail delivery; in the 1940’s two digit district #’s were activated to aid in distribution. Before that all sorting was done by hand. Enjoy the mild day. As always …. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue about these things, because I don't use the postal service....for anything. I think the last time I even went to the post office was over 20 years ago. how exactly did they deliver mail before the 1960s? it's really unimportant minutiae no one needs to know, the USPS is an anachronism.

LibertyBell Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Instead of irrelevant trivia like when zip codes came into being this is the interesting stuff we should be talking about, I've been waiting for some awesome results from Tokamak for YEARS and now finally here we are! controlled nuclear fusion-- here we come! https://twitter.com/i/events/1491539482973249539 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etudiant Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Sadly still short of the mark, energy output half of input. That said, there is steady progress and we are getting closer. The emergence of a number of well funded private efforts is perhaps another indicator that we are getting closer. The main problem though is that the device has to be cheap enough to build, else the interest expenses will swamp the low power production costs. Most of the designs to date ignore that problem.
