US friends, take note. I went to vote in Berlin today and this was the line in front of the polling station. “But wait! There is no line!” Indeed. There is no line because there need not be one. Because it’s about how polling is organised. If you are standing in a line for hours in order to exercise your democratic rights, it’s because someone wants you to.#polling #democracy #righttovote

"The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it."

The #YouTube interface is particularly bad. It's optimized to keep me watching ads - which, fine. Whatever. But there's not a good tagging system, no way to share things within the platform with friends. No way to see what my friends might have liked. No integration with a social network period.
There is so much good interesting nerdy content in there, and that makes it the only good video platform I know of, but it's so bad at connecting me with it.
Self-soldering circuits:
So much interesting stuff on https://lobster.rs this morning.
I brewed up some of this in the Aeropress this morning, and was enjoying it so much I wanted to share. Chapolera is a small roaster and coffee shop in Idaho Falls, ID, that just makes fantastic coffee. The owner is this cool Columbian woman who has fantastic consistent taste in coffee.
Now we live in Texas but every now and then I remember to order some beans online - recently I needed some more Aeropress filters (first time needing more in like 10 yrs) and thought, "I wonder if any little roasters I like would ship me some." Chapolera.
I don't really have a palate that can tell you what this tastes like - but it's way up there with my favorite light roasts from Merit, or Brown (San Antonio roasters). These are similar to Counter Culture's Hologram if you've had that, especially the El Pilar.
