In retrospect, the 1980s computer game Frogger sent a pretty clear message: cars will squash and kill you, never stopping for you because they take complete priority in the space, while nature will help carry you along, if you’re clever and patient enough to work with what it offers to you. We apparently didn’t learn that lesson.
(I spent some time last week bathing in nostalgia on 1980s computer game simulators… oh, chuckle egg, it was good to see you again…). #climate #cars #ComputerGames

New #crossword by me... with a theme that makes me feel old but happy :)

How Eratosthenes measured the earth. Part 1: the discovery of the earth's shape.
Before 400 BCE, everyone was a flat-earther. Afterwards, it gets hard to find people who weren't aware that the earth is round.
A look at early Greek thought on the shape of the cosmos, the earth's location, and the angle of the ecliptic, leading up to the first estimate of the earth's size in Aristotle.

Not only that, but there's a trap to see if #OffGridPod has been capturing your full attention or not. Will you get the gold star? #bread
