I think you might find that the larger metropolitan areas are as you say. As one gets away from the coasts and into more rural areas you'll find smaller museums. Museums that are very bespoke and/or focused on a narrower curation target, etc.
In the US, these museums can be brilliant, terrifyingly creepy, and everything in between.
I went to one in a tiny town in southern Arkansas a few years ago, dedicated to a river boat disaster shortly after the civil war. It was tiny, weird, and brilliant.
Yes, very much so. Some of the interesting small rural museums across the western US I've been to include:
* Museum of the Fur Trade near Chadron, Nebraska
* The Santa Fe Trail Center near Larned, Kansas
* Ash Fork Route 66 Museum in Ash Fork, Arizona
* National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum in Leadville, Colorado
* American Windmill Museum in Lubbock, Texas
* Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum near Ashland, Nebraska
The rural US has many local museums and most are surprisingly well done and very informative.
Even in large metro areas, there tend to be small specialty museums. The problem is that if you don't know they're there already, you're not likely to find them.
Don't think it's city/rural thing or a big city/little city thing. Los Angeles has dozens of tiny museums, often dedicated to obscure subjects (printing, neon art, Jurassic technology), and also some huge and rather well known ones (LACMA, the Getty).
Marques Brownlee recently published a video about the Humane AI Pin (device) [1] and I noticed this book in some of the device shots, found it curious and had (incorrectly it seems) assumed it was some kind of internal Google swag.
My father owned a rural feed store until I was 6 or 7 years old (the early 80's.)
Other than incubators full of chicks and ducklings, and bottle feeding young livestock fresh from auction - swiping cow magnets off the shelf to play with was a favorite pass-time. :)
In those days I can't imagine anyone really cared what happened to the magnets after they went into the cow.
Perhaps something happens in the slaughter house to clear out whatever has gotten into the gut and stomachs - for the sake of meat grinding machinery?
I think tripe is the only use an industrial abattoir would have for the stomach and that's likely to be handled by a human. My guess is that they have a bucket or something that they put foreign material into.
Hmmm, but I wasn't thinking of pet food: that would probably be ground.
I mean, you don't want the magnets, or any nails or what not they've picked up, to go into any separated products. And separating them from the guts shouldn't be too hard -- they'd be attracted to metal, after all. The question would be how rapidly they degrade.
I like your app quite a lot. No issues with your app. I think Zoom degrades the resolution. In any case, the last time I tried it that way was last summer. If there are any major developments since then, I would love to know.
Feature Request: I'd love to see the ratio of successful points to number of times the ball traverses the circle. I think others have already said things about scoring mechanisms for faster taps, I wonder if there could be one around a sweet spot on the line (earlier is better? Later?!)
Would love to hear your thoughts on pipenv as a real-world user of python environments. I leave it on the table that your current solution just works and you have never considered pipenv. ( I am not associated with pipenv. I've seemingly organically gravitated to it lately. )
my hot take: poetry won, and PEP517/518 build systems are going to be the way forward. Poetry might not last forever, but I think`pyproject.toml` has legs.
Pipenv was a valiant effort that moved the field along heaps, but I haven't used it in my daily life for two years.
