And a bigger crowd than last year.
I was just thinking that the one thing the race to the bottom has not yet replaced with a cheaper, enshittified version is death. Love, friendship, food, urbanization, yes.

Quoting directly from Schrödinger’s diaries, Moore revealed that the physicist justified his attraction to girls by considering that, being a genius (which he believed no woman ever could be), he was naturally entitled. “It seems to be the usual thing that men of strong, genuine intellectuality are immensely attracted only by women who, forming the very beginning of the intellectual series, are as nearly connected to the preferred springs of nature as they themselves. Nothing intermediate will do, since no woman will ever approach nearer to genius by intellectual education than some unintellectuals do by birth so to speak.”
TIL. Ugh.
Generally seems like the right message, but there are plenty of third factors that might be a more direct cause — amount of drugs, microplastics, pesticides, etc in the environment / food.
Russia has done very well, though! Higher prices for oil that people were shying away from, and a possible diversion of arms away from Ukraine.
Yeah, I wish git blame could highlight the lines written by Claude/Codex. Usually when I ask my colleagues 'so did you use AI much for this one' they will say yes. But it makes code review that much harder, especially when they then take my PR comments and feed them to the LLM, so I'm coding by playing telephone with a bot.
This may be referencing a chart from CNN's report on Small Arms Survey data, which includes many other statistics making the same point. Here's another:
I mostly use:
- square knot (generl tying a rope around something; learned it earlier than memory)
- bowline hitch (loop at the end of a knot that won't close up, like I need a handle or want to attach the end of a rope to something; learned it in boy scouts maybe)
- taut line hitch (clothesline, tent to stake, something that I can tie loose and then cinch up for tension; learned it from a cousin while camping)
Sounds like there are some other ones I could learn too! But as many folks have said, learn a coupe and use them frequently.
Nice!
I hadn't heard about the local employment aspect:
New Bedford is home to the Marine Commerce Terminal, a $150 million specialized staging port for offshore wind. All of the massive turbine components for Vineyard Wind were stored and partially assembled there before being loaded on boats and sent to sea. The project has employed about 3,500 people, many of whom are union workers.
Most other brands can charge at Tesla superchargers now too, and other charging networks are gradually improving, and you'll do almost all of your charging at home or work anyway.
I see you, too, enjoy a good Beth Mole article.
If only we could limit the damage to people who deserve it.

Where: Pathways to Power AND Rally @ Boston Common—Proudly display your amazing signs, flags (no poles, please!), and your most creative protest attire as you make your way to Boston Common from 1-2 p.m. Let’s show the world what patriotism really looks like by filling the sidewalks. Consider getting off the T a few stops early to extend this visibility walk! 2-4 p.m. Rally @ Boston Common.
When: 1-4pm (1-2 Pathways to Power march, 2-4pm Boston Common)
Anyone have good sign ideas? I was considering just listing people murdered by ICE. Something I read claimed connecting potential dictators' actions with overthrowing democracy was a key, so maybe quoting Anne Frank or drawing comparisons to Stalin/Hitler.
Following up on my previous post: finished with the miter saw. Sanded the handle and blade, jointed and sharpened the teeth, waxed the blade, BLO on the handle, polished the reinstalled the nuts.
Seems to cut well!
The blade has a nice marking on it, hard to photograph. It's not perfectly shiny, but I got the bulk of the rust off anyway.
Working on the handle for the 2nd one. Sanding those inside surfaces is a pain, tips welcome. It has some big cracks, so I'm filling those with sawdust+glue.
Also working on a plane.
Disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled the metal. Sharpening in progress. Looks like it's missing one piece, a little washer that sits on the lateral adjustment arm and fits into the slot in the iron. Both wooden handles were split, so I'm gluing them before refinishing.

The danger is when I end up cleaning the entire house and still haven't started the onerous task. But feeling organized certainly helps reduce distraction.
