Ooh, interesting! Might try this as a cheap improvement on our rented driveway.

Had to run out a few hours ago and do some emergency car jacking in the dark. After I realized the jack stands I put under after taking the wheels of earlier were sinking into the mud...

@yngmar Would use these as a thermal battery. Maybe put underneath germinating seed/-lings. Embed in a windowsill to make it fancy.

Werner Herzog reviews Trader Joe's

Warner Herzog reviews Trader Joes on Yelp:
Madness reigns. The first challenge your soul must endure is the parking lot. You wait with your vehicle half blocking traffic, creating a perfect circular vortex of anger that encompasses the street and the entrance to the store. Once you attain access to the lot, you discover that this is a false
achievement; other motorists stop and start with no apparent thought or plan -- turns once begun are quickly abandoned, the drivers seemingly immune to geometry. At last a space opens up, but the price is having to enter the store. Inside, human beings scramble like beetles whose rock has been upended. Though the aisles are wide it is impossible to avoid physical contact with your fellow shoppers. It is a grotesque parody of the bazaar at Marrakech, as if dumb animals had been granted only the amount of sentience required to mock humanity. The aisles are not labeled. You must search for every item. The constant walking up and down causes a numbness that borders on profound despair. Your conscious mind registers merely annoyance, impatience. But on a cellular level, your body cries out in weariness. The fatigue you feel is a warning: millions of years of evolution trying to save you from becoming mired 
in the tar, from sinking into the warm blackness and ultimately being reclaimed by the earth itself.
Be sure to get the dark chocolate peanut butter cups, they are right by the register.

@martincrownover Cool DoF! Thought it was a photo of some crafts project at first.

Wait, is it supposed to be minute in the game? I never played it.

@mcc Does it also have anime-style renditions of various archetypal figures familiar from the Tarot, though?

You ever seen something so painfully out of touch and oblivious it hurts?

A post on LinkedIn from Notion that reads: AI is reshaping our digital landscape much like plastic transformed our physical world. With fascinating parallels between AI and plasticβ€”such as versatility, efficiency, and potential for innovation.

And just as plastic enabled entirely new products, AI is opening doors to tools and workflows we couldn't have imagined before.πŸšͺ 

How can we harness AI's qualities to create truly transformative tools, that complement rather than replace our human intelligence? Read more β†’

@apzpins I had similar thoughts for a long time, but ended up finally throwing out a big bag of old PLA prints this summer. :D

There's some DIY filament extruders available, but they cost as much as a nice printer. The more effective solution is probably to mount a granulate extruder on the printer.

"Yeah, just a relaxing weekend on the land. No big projects this time, just chilling and sauna and food."

And a little bit of raising up the porch because some door won't close nicely. And pulling out some of the old crappy rock foundation. And turns out the rocks are actually quite big, so we need to use the tractor. And now that we're this far it's just a little bit of further digging to get in some leca blocks instead.

Sauna was nice afterwards tho!

Just had to tell someone, 'cuz I'm doing this in total isolation. Laboriously salvaging and pulling nails from ancient wood from demolition that would have otherwise just gone to the dump. Redwood from 1890-1940s California, when they unconscionably cut down trees over a millennium old ;_; light as a feather, stronger than steel. Milled ages ago and structurally unfazed. Only a culture beyond salvation would treat this priceless material like trash.

Experiments patching up damaged saplings using beeswax and (since grafting tape is expensive) twine.

Worst damaged was to an indeterminate variety of Prunus that has been used for grafting practice. Not sure what, maybe wind combined with a fungal infection?

Also bent some raspberries when planting them out, and tied them up for good measure!

Considered using wood tar at first, but beeswax seemed a lot easier. We'll see how it goes.
