"Because the house occupies the back corner of the plot, that made it possible"... for the lot to be butchered by later developers (or money poor or just greedy family members) into a maze of small hatbox houses.

To the diamond-clad core exporation ship! (I may have liked the movie "The Core" far more than was probably warranted by it :)

You seem to have the wrong idea about available refresh rates. LED screens for desktops and laptops/notebooks regularly run at 100-120 and can come in refresh rates twice that (or more). Active shutter type 3D tech relies upon it for example.

So they proved that people who can come up with lots of words... can come up with lots of words. Wow!

Samsungs had IR blasters for a while a few generations ago. Never caught on. It'll be interesting to see if they do via Apple

I do hope this sort of info doesn't make anybody think the actions of others in modern times (like the UK PM's advisor who detoured on his way to isolation after his wife and someone he recently visited with tested positive .. and on his "in breach of don't travel" trip to his country house to quarantine with the family also took a detour to sightsee at a castle for example) can be excused at all. There is a HUGE difference between not knowing and not wanting to know.

A nice idea... but it seems like a way to spend a lot of money to fix an issue that is already mostly fixed by something much, much cheaper. A properly used (food intended) thermos flask/container (heated with boiled water first) will keep things hot for between 8 and 10 hours. And if you had access to boiling water as this seems to suggest then you could use two and heat the other/swap between the two for longer.... and they are a fraction of the cost. As in $20USD will get you a very nice one. (ooh wow, they reckon the "ultimate" ones will keep hot for 24 hours)

"McIntyre’s book was on Australian school reading lists for years" (from the article) and "became required reading in Australian schools" (as you claim) do not mean the same thing. Signed - An Australian.

I think you may have forgotten the link?

So their proof that it is "likely" where a claimed event happened is that it's in a similar area and has a nook for a chair. And it took from 1980 to now for them to notice the chair nook (nobody else ever thought of having a chair in a courtyard! Hope it isn't a "comfy chair"). Well I'm sold. More evidence than the vast majority of the dogma of the religious is based on ("it wouldn't be faith if you didn't have to believe some absolutely nutty things for which there was no remotely convincing evidence" - some slight paraphrasing)

"therefore we all have an opinion of equal validity," No we don't. That's some "false balance" type journalism there. The opinion of a trained and experienced expert in something is far more valid than that of some whacko. Take the flat Earth people for example. Invalid. (google the definition of valid before you argue).

"Toddler recreates" is rather a lot like those headlines of "Toddler writes book of poetry". At least some adult editing/involvement is there.. and where does one then draw the line of when it stops being the toddler's "work"?
