I am no longer a fan of Caterpillar. Yes, that maker of construction machineries. Why? Because they're stupid. Suing a cafe over the word 'cat'.
I'd have no sympathy for this company when they go down. It shows how lack of innovative minds make them do petty things. Instead of making mechs to innovate, they do this foolish thing.

I'd like to visit this farm one of these days.
Farming takes to the rooftops in Sunset Park
The roof-farming movement is coming to the neighborhood.

"Do not think that enlightenment is going to make you special, it’s not. If you feel special in any way, then enlightenment has not occurred. I meet a lot of people who think they are enlightened and awake simply because they have had a very moving spiritual experience. They wear their enlightenment on their sleeve like a badge of honor. They sit among friends and talk about how awake they are while sipping coffee at a cafe. The funny thing about enlightenment is that when it is authentic, there is no one to claim it. Enlightenment is very ordinary; it is nothing special. Rather than making you more special, it is going to make you less special. It plants you right in the center of a wonderful humility and innocence. Everyone else may or may not call you enlightened, but when you are enlightened the whole notion of enlightenment and someone who is enlightened is a big joke. I use the word enlightenment all the time; not to point you toward it but to point you beyond it. Do not get stuck in enlightenment."

this Coal Company Went Bust, and It Was Funding Climate Change Denialism. Many companies or individuals could be doing the same coz they work in the fossil industry. Sorry but it's time to face the truth and the inevitable.

I'm kind-of a Transhumanist because I'd like to "live forever", but not in the extreme way that this article outlined. I disagree with his main ideas by the way. Transhumanism still has its quirks but it does give us good questions worth pondering: If our thoughts live forever, do we too?

Our daily standup is fast becoming a daily 15 to 30 minute "Stretch-up". I'm blest having teammates that like to do stretching exercises, so now i do the same.

@ilovecomputers@niu.moe hey i just watched this guy live here in Jersey City last friday! he's friends with The Milwaukees, they rock! !

So. New Yorkers are moving to Jersey City. I know several couples move from Brooklyn to Jersey City. And they got the money to further gentrify the area.

So I heard... The Universe Is Expanding Much Faster Than It Should Be.
I think we should also be aiming to expand our minds, and also try to colonize other planets, because otherwise...overpopulation.
