@jeremiah @rimugu @wjmaggos and not just externalities that aren’t figured in, but subsidies in many countries make it hard for non-oil/non-coal energy sources; seems like that’s changing more and more. canada for example subsidized our oil sands production like crazy to make them viable

just put a ladder/lumber/kayak rack on the acty!

i have basically 2 modes of writing when messaging folks. sometimes it’s like a switch flips in my head and i toggle from this mode (w no capitalization and limited punctuation) to…

This! Much more proper and professional. And my vocabulary switches to become more formal as well! Sometimes I don’t even realize I’ve switched during a conversation with someone. I imagine it could be quite jarring for them at times.

@kmeisthax @pluralistic oh! i wondered if i was getting worse at googling, but maybe my old google-fu just isn’t with the times anymore!

the honor
that was in

commemorating

a system of messages
and so important

@Baley oh! is that why orange was chosen? huh, i hadn’t heard this before.

@betschart love that too. haven’t ever heard of it as a sign of autumn before though! wish we got more mist and fog in this part of ontario.

@LouisIngenthron brutal. what a nightmare. are you required to have homeowners insurance? obv you would want it but why is it necessary to keep the house? (ontarian renter over here)

Thanks to @lutindiscret for sharing the link!

a few domestic scenes. last night our freezer failed, but fortunately we were able to find a spot for everything in other freezers. grateful for friends and family that are happy to help, for a life in a place that affords little luxuries and joys and moments of peace every day (if i take the time to let them happen)

i’ve been waiting for daylight savings to “fall back” so i can wake up on time more easily, but it’s still over a month away!

(realistically, i’d probably need to have the time rollback happen every month or two to actually keep me on track)

@levisan @jeremiah though to be honest, i kinda like the standalone nature of canticle. a sequel, especially a posthumously par-written sequel feels like it might cheapen the whole thing… which i think is why i may have wrote off reading it back in the day

@jeremiah easily in my top 5 books ever. so good. don’t recognize this particular map though! is it a fan creation?

@matt @viticci love raindrop! i do still use instapaper for things i want to read in the shorter term though (both with some zaps copying
to notion)
