      Hey all, I'm looking to expand my stable of long-form, "crunchy" reading material. I'll recommend three. ( I think I found all these through tildes.)

      Casey Handmer's Blog
      A blog about the new space industry with a specific focus on SpaceX and the industrialization of Mars.

      Construction Physics
      A newsletter that analyses trends and data in the construction industry with a focus on modular construction.

      ACOUP
      Essays about medieval and ancient history as well as their interaction with popular culture, with a focus on methods of production and common people in history.

      Another type of content I've really enjoyed is detailed breakdowns of zero-day vulnerabilities and large software catastrophies.

      This is 1) heart-breaking and 2) very, very, worrying.

    3. Tool to open packaging on USB sticks?

      At my job, I'm opening a lot of USB sticks, and I was wondering if there was a particular punch tool or method to opening the packaging around the usb drives outside of the usual rip and tear.
