“My apparent fixation on cities stems from personal and philosophical / political / environmental considerations.” -@sknob: noblogo.org/sknob/cities
🏢 Cities are a shrine to the hubris of man.
🌇 Cities are a monumental flash in the pan.

Le rapport «Planetary Solvency» indique que si on continue à ignorer le climat et les limites planétaires, on fonce vers un réchauffement moyen de 3°C, chute de 50% du PIB mondial, chute de 50% de la population mondiale et un tas d'autres problèmes politique et sociaux... Tout ça avant la fin du siècle.

Gaaah, what did I get myself into here with this 46 kg monstrosity…?! I can hardly lift it myself. This will be interesting to get through the bandsaw.
I really gotta learn to say no to such things 🫣 But it's one nice long cherry log…
(Oops, did I say one? I meant three – the other ones are hiding out of frame. Luckily they're a bit lighter!)
#woodworking
Two logs and another broken screw extraction later. One log to go. 😤
Somehow my body aches a lot today. I can only imagine how people must have felt after sawing logs to boards 100 years ago. 😫
Hard work, for sure! None the less I still have the wish, to try out a whale saw one day, in my mind.

There's a lot of human stories behind every one of those machines, and also there's a lot of humanity we imbue into the machines themselves (particularly JAXA, but also others).
Is it logical or rational to humanize a robot halfway across the solar system? Maybe not. But we humans do it anyway.

The Biden administration shoveled American taxpayer money into Tesla by subsidizing the purchase of Model Y’s, making it the 4th best selling car of 2024 (according to Car and Driver). 400k Tesla Y’s sold in America in 2024 alone.
Many people on the left purchased Teslas. I refuse to demonize my friends and neighbors.
It is unclear to me how demonizing millions of Tesla owners is going to win hearts and minds. This is madness.
