These reasons are (casually) mentioned in the post:

* "the deeper your reservoir the more efficient the water gets pumped. As the water gets consumed, the pump gives less output"

* "If the reservoir runs dry the motor won’t catch fire. That apparently is a thing water pumps."

* "Since the water is only going through a simple tube and not an expensive motor, you can pump a nutrient solution. If you want to pamper your plants, we don’t."

GitLab Pages 10 years ago

I especially like that they have added configuration options to the .gitlab-ci.yml. If I am not mistaken, this means your project can auto-deploy using an arbitrary build process. Here's what an example .gitlab-ci.yml looks like with a GitLab Pages build configuration: https://gitlab.com/pages/pages.gitlab.io/blob/master/.gitlab...

A couple friends and I made something similar for GitHub Pages using Travis CI as our static deployment build-and-deploy host. For example, here's what our .travis.yml looks like: https://github.com/L33T-KR3W/soundcasts-web/blob/master/.tra... and here is the actual deploy command that is being run to `git push` to GitHub Pages: https://github.com/L33T-KR3W/soundcasts-web/blob/master/pack...

The GitLab approach is cleaner and requires less tooling. Nice work!

At the top of page 4:

TSA is updating the AIT PIA to reflect a change to the operating protocol regarding the ability of individuals to opt out of AIT screening in favor of physical screening. While passengers may generally decline AIT screening in favor of physical screening, TSA may direct mandatory AIT screening for some passengers as warranted by security considerations in order to safeguard transportation security.

You could always just buy a used car. Makes things a little more expensive, but not much more.

Terrorists will find a way to terrorize if they want to. The world is so chaotic and leaky that you can't stop people from doing stuff like this.

Amazing. I always love seeing these sorts of harmless, fun ways that bring attention to these strange edge/corner case bugs.

Great idea! One suggestion in terms of design--the FAQs are difficult to quickly scan/read because the line heights are the same for questions and answers. Consider adding additional spacing between Q/A groups for better hinting at where an answer ends and a question begins. Great idea though, and best of luck!

I actually thought the exact same thing when I was browsing the Flattr blog. I spent a good 10 seconds looking for a link to the real site before giving up and manually changing the URL.
