This is one of my favorite websites of all time.

Their pace of publishing is slow, but I'm okay with it, I only visit the website a few times a year.

It's a nice change from all those websites that try to publish as much as they can so that they get tons of clicks everyday.



Mine too and same here, I catch up a couple of times per year spontaneously.

I love solutions that are "human sized" and not dependent on a global scale civilization. Humanity would be in so much better shape if we learned to be content with a little less, a little simpler. Not always (necessarily) simpler from our personal perspective (ordering a fancy gadget from China on Amazon is "simple"), but holistically (taking into account the whole manufacturing and supply chain and its externallities).


I don't see anything (non-archived) about direct bicycle power, for the grain grinder and the blender and sawing wood and stuff. I will look in the archive. (Answers: page 9 on the paginated website.)


Same, what a cool piece of the Internet. I have nothing but love for it.
