    Oh this dude makes good motorcycle videos.

    Another unfun fact (dunno if it’s mentioned in the video) is that Teflon is a PFAS that is currently in our environment and ground water in harmful amounts, is definitely giving us cancer, and can’t be easily extracted or broken down :(

    I hope we can go back to waxed coats and boots or something, soon.

    edit:// the video does mention it. Cool video






  • Just start using Signal. Don’t push it for a reason for people who don’t care, just let people know “Hey, message me here”. The more people that use it - the better for everyone - whether they benefit or not.

    The second part of that is use things like WhatsApp less or not at all, but you can always start with the first part. Maybe you already have folks on signal, and you can just start messaging them there until more folks come over.

    Hadn’t heard of reiverr, you like it?

    I’ve been toying with the idea of creating a file-arr for analyzing disk usage, performing common operations, and exposing a web-based upload/download client so I don’t have to mount the volume everywhere.

    That’d be cool. There’s one that does transcoding and another that does unzipping












  • Maybe a degree of refinement?

    • dust accumulates and becomes dirt. Natural
    • a beaver builds a dam out of nearby fallen logs, natural
    • we create ovens and break down rocks to create bricks and get specific metal alloys to create wires and <many more steps in the middle> and you have the hoover damn. Part of the natural world? Sure. Organic? Mostly (carbon based, sans the metals). Refined? Unquestionably. Natural? Maybe not
