These are great, learned 2 new words I never heard before. Slightly related, but in fine fettle can also be used to refer to someone in good shape (mentally or physically).
The temperature difference between streets in our neighborhood that have trees and those that don’t is eye-opening. Even more so with parks. Trees create such a pleasant micro-climate.
Ah, you’re back
Same, the physical camera button and 3.5mm headphone jack on the Xperia are awesome
Haven’t had this particular brand, but I’ve made vegan musubi before with another. Turned out great and tbh I couldn’t tell the difference. The only downside was the price difference.
That’s awesome. Almost looks like fan art, but IMO has more charm than CGI
Stoked. I missed playing MGS3 when it first came out and am glad to hear this remake is exactly like the original because I hear it was arguably the best in the series.
That’s refreshing to see in a world of ever increasing enshittification. Wish more companies move in this direction.
President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has pledged “deforestation zero” by 2030. His current term ends in January 2027. Amazon deforestation has steeply declined since the end of far-right President Jair Bolsonaro’s rule in 2022. Under that government, forest loss reached a 15-year high.
Government regulation matters and hence why voting is important. We all benefit from preserving the Amazon and yet the right is actively trying to profit from its destruction. What good is wealth if the planet becomes inhospitable?
Somewhat related PSA. I used to have an unscreened window in my home office and started noticing birds would fly into it on occasion. Found out it’s actually pretty common and can be fatal to the unwitting bird, so I put some post-it notes on the window to help them see/avoid it. There are ready-made products for this exact purpose as well. Both seem to do the job and cut down on collisions.
This is the plot for Snowpiercer. So we should also start building a train that will circle the frozen planet
As a bonus, King’s Canyon is also adjacent to Sequoia National Park, which is equally stunning and home to the largest single stem tree, the General Sherman giant Sequoia.
Medium roast (full city) beans from the Philippines either via Chemex, AeroPress, or if it’s warm out I’ll brew some ice coffee overnight.
We have solar but found another option, push reel mowers was perfect for our small yard. It’s a bit more of effort if the grass is tall (we have UC Verde drought tolerant grass so I let it grow out to cut down on watering) but I don’t ever have to worry about batteries or gas/fumes/noise. Plus I get a workout and it was basically the only type of mower that’s still made domestically.
Can attest the Amish-made ones are built like tanks and run smooth (provided the grass is on the shorter side)
All the video games magazines would do an E3 issue and I remember binging on all the game announcements and event photos. Good times
I’m a big proponent of buying local whenever possible. This plus something similar for physical products is really useful no matter where you live.
