New home for Rasterio
sgillies.net
Moving the project keeps the code open and accessible to its developers and makes it easier to maintain. Making the case for the move at work was pretty easy. Teams at Mapbox that use rasterio want bug fixes and new releases. The Platform team has one less oddball CI configuration to support. I’m grateful for the attention and help of Mapbox’s Legal and IT teams during a busy, busy time. It was fun to work with these folks on one last project.
Good on Mapbox for working with Sean on this.

In response to your question, the thread “cuts” or “gaps” in the threads on both the bottle and closure are vent slots which allow the CO2 gas to escape from the inside the package during opening. This escape of gas relieves the pressure on the inside of the bottle and allows the closure to be safely removed from the package by the consumer.

Ohio resident Alan Perkins has taken the 12 foot skeleton game to an entirely new level, building a MASSIVE skeleton bursting out of his home to grab the 12 footer like a toy. Apparently he’s still going to add a giant skull bursting through the roof. Just phenomenal work.
