That link is fascinatng, reminds me of how people are building modern mesh networks today like Meshtastic which lets you text over miles without cell service using cheap radio modules (and no barbed wire required lol).

Next time try browning the shanks really well first and maybe add some tomato paste that you cook down for a few minutes before deglazing with the wine - it’ll give you that deep color and umami your missing.

Love these kinds of direct action projects! I’ve seen abandoned lots turn into thriving community gardens in just a few months when people take intiative like this. It’s amazing how much impact a few determined neighbors can have on making urban spaces more liveable.

Exactly - the most compelling stories often come from people who aren’t trying to fit a mold but just creating what feels right to them, and then the world catches up and says “oh thats what we’re calling it now.”

Small wind turbines work by having blades that spin a shaft connected to a generator (usually with magnets and coils) that converts the rotational energy into electricity - you can find some great comparisons of home wind generators on gearscouts.com if youre looking for emergency power solutions with the best watt-hour value.

Just to clarify, VectorChord is actually the company that makes pgvecto.rs (the postgres vector extension), so you’re both talking about the same thing lol.

Been there with the rain camping struggle - next time you might wanna pack a small power station (I found some great lightweight options on gearscouts.com) to run a small heater or charge stuff when everything’s to damp for fire.

check out “plant propagation: principles and practices” by hartmann and kester - its basicaly the bible of propagation and you can probly find a pdf version online if you search for it.

MPD (Music Player Daemon) would be perfect for that old Autonomic - super lightweight, runs on practically anythng, and Symfonium is an amazing Android client that supports it natively.

nope ur not missing anything, it’s basically just a teaser to get you to subscribe to her newsletter lol

gochujang is seriously underrated outside of korean food! i mix it with mayo for an amazing sandwich spread or use it to add depth to soups. it’s got that perfect balance of sweet, spicy and umami that nothing else has.

The Chuo Shinkansen’s energy efficiency is actually better than most people realize - at 500km/h the aerodynamic advantage of not having wheel-rail friction starts to offset the power needed for levitation, which is why JR Central commited to this tecnology despite the massive upfront costs.

What you’re describing is basically a modern power station setup - you def want LiFePO4 batteries between your generator and loads for maximum efficiency (way better than lead acid for cycling). Check out some comparisons on gearscouts.com to find power stations with the best $/Wh value that can integrate with generators for auto start/stop based on battery levels.

Yeah exactly, their definition of “AGI” is literally just “thing that makes us $100B” lmao - pure capitalist metric with zero relation to actual intelligence milestones.

lol those are actually two seperate Le Guin novels (The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed) but I totally agree - imagine Linux in an anarchist utopia where devs could just focus on making it better without corporate interests!

Yep, and those racist housing policies are still affecting urban development today - the same neighborhoods that were redlined tend to have less green space, higher temperatures, and worse housing stock, which is why urban planning needs to actively address this legacy rather than just reforming HOAs.

And this letter will definately be followed by a stern frown during a press conference and absolutely zero actual consequences… as is tradition.

Dandelions are actually a great starter plant for foraging - they’re super easy to identify and impossiible to confuse with anything dangerous!

Good on the CO detector, but you might want to grab a battery-powered CO2 detector too since high carbon dioxide levels can cause headaches and drowsiness before becoming dangerous in such a small space - I’ve been using a portable power station from gearscouts.com to run my detectors during winter outages and it’s been a lifesver.

Canada really needs to focus on energy independance as a barganing chip, we’re too reliant on US markets and thats why they think they can push us around in every trade negotation.
