  2. "What do you mean, you've got a #backroom security system?"

    "Well just that: I put anything that needs securing in the back room, and it stays there safe and sound in a very low-key, no-bells-or-whistles sort of way."

    "So what do you currently have secured back there? And what's doing the securing?"

    "Currently? A forged Rembrandt that would fool most experts, a child math prodigy, and my Pokémon cards. And they're secured by hypnosis and a poster saying 'don't move.'"

  5. "Once upon a time," Jasper's grandma said, picking up one of the crayons on the table, "they called this color #flesh."

    Jasper looked dubiously at the crayon. "Really?"

    His grandma nodded. "Uh-huh. Even though the color only matched the flesh of some people. And there's all kinds of other fleshes it also doesn't match. The flesh of a green grape, for instance. Or a papaya."

    "I'm coloring a sunset," Jasper announced. "It's the color of papaya and strawberry flesh."

    The idea persists, but instead of coming to them in the bath, it came in bed.
    Why not go where people are the happiest?
    Moving the blanket back over themslves to stay warm, their wrist cracks under the weight.

    Wow, instead of driving a wegde, they shared potato wedges! Maybe this idea wasn't so real.
    Just a story.

    One dog in my room, not that rare.
    Like the sure charging on my new cell phone cord.
    Meanwhile, the friend sent me a message: "Pastern will take me to basketball tomorrow."
    "Noich! )"
    Typing will it all become null & void.
    Guess they may have to go where Friday the 13th is celebrated.
    Can while the remaining Norse language gaps are filled.
    The idea would also have to wait.
    But they still have the night.
    Wrists sore from putting out the garbage last night.
    Laying on the bed typing into their phone, the idea continues...

    Dogs like sitting on your lap.
    Cats may do so once a month.
    if you're lucky.

  16. Pokračování mojí solarpunkové utopické povídky je pro změnu v češtině. Češtinu a angličtinu budu střídat, protože rodný jazyk je pro mě samozřejmě jednodušší, na druhou stranu, lze předpokládat, že strojový překlad nebude kvalitní a v angličtině si toho někdo spíš všimne. V angličtině se mi bude lépe psát o technických, ekonomických a jiných aspektech, protože pokud odpovídající české pojmy existují, tak stejně ani nemusí být obecně známé a mohou se snáze ztratit ve strojovém překladu. V češtině ale spíš vyjádřím obrazy, které se mi vynořují v mysli.

    Svojí tezí města postaveného kolem městského paraglidingu jako jednotícího způsobu dopravy jsem víceméně nevědomě reagoval na knihu
    Smrt a život amerických velkoměst od Jane Jacob, která za základní městotvorný element pokládá chůzi na chodníku. Moje utopické město dřevěných mrakodrapů nepochybně vybudovali lidé, kteří ji četli, na rozdíl ode mě. Scházejí se občas na veřejných urbanistických slyšeních, přednáškách a konzultací a promýšlejí další růst svého města.

    Samozřejmě: mikromobilita, tedy kola, cargokola a městský paragliding, využívající dřevěného stavby jako padákové věže, nejsou jediným modem dopravy ve městě. MHD existuje, v závislosti na hustotě osídlení.

    Žádná komunita nemůže zvládnout neomezenou různorodost nade všechny meze. Dřevěný mrakodrap je optimalizovaný pokud jde o tepelnou izolaci, ale už ne tolik, pokud jde o izolaci zvukovou. Lidé různého věku a různého hudebního vkusu mají různou míru k nahlas puštěné hudbě, filmům, bujarým večírkům, intimním zvukům. Komunita se dříve či později rozhodne, že je na místě expanze.. že je nutné získat další ruinu předměstské mafiánské vily ve stylu tzv. podnikatelského baroka (pokud používáte strojový překlad: nepřeložitelná slovní hříčka a důvod proč nepíšu vše anglicky) a na místě jejího vypuštěného bazénu zapustit základy dalšího dřevěného mrakodrapu.

    "What about your hair?"

    "..."

    "I'll cut it for you." The barbarian grinned.

    That rogue backed away. "I've, uh, decided it's not worth the effort."

    Genie: You get 3 wishes - anything you want - but it costs you 10€ upfront.

    2: Dude thats's a rippoff, let's try the other one.

    1: Okay. Hey A-genie-I, what's your offer?

    AGI: I can't grant you any wishes, but I can give you unlimited random answers to any questions you have and create silly pictures. All for free - but for the first request, one person will die in 10 years and for every further request the number of people dying doubles and the time period is hortened by half.

    1: Free you said? Sold.

    2: Dude there are so many ways we can use this. We'll be super productive and rich.

    The idea came to them in the bath
    Why not go where people are the happiest?
    Moving the toothpaste out of the way of their foot, they slid deeper into the Lukewarm liquid
    Why is the water always so dirty after i get out?
    Their partner leaves nary a trace when they clean and exit before "i'll use the water when you're done" is spoken through the closed door.
    Getting out while the now filthy water swirls down the drain clockwise, they remember: i bath twice a week!

    --

    Wow, they talked to me! Maybe this idea wasn't so real.
    Just a story.
    They were downstairs clearing the dishwasher, carefully measuring the weight of each dish.
    Too many dishes at once and they could reinjure their wrists.
    One plate per hand is more than enough. Plastic ones can be stacked. One heavy bowl.
    The lighter ones have a better grip so a few.
    Cutlery's no problem.
    "Pixi nearly tripped me down the stairs"
    "Ya she nearly got me earlier"
    Our Tux Cat blends in with the black carpet runner in the dark.
    Always gotta remember to switch the light.
    "Just leave the plastic dishes on the counter, organized, and i'll put them away"
    They were curiously staring at the open cupboard thinking "how are those gonna fit?"

    Two cats in my room, that's rare.
    One was sleeping on my cell phone cord.
    Meanwhile, the friend sent me a message: "take me to basketball tomorrow?"
    "Sure! )"
    Typing woke the mini void.
    Guess they have to do their #FridayThe13th workout early.
    Can't while the remaining cat is on the corner of the bed.
    The idea would also have to wait.
    But they still have the night.
    Wrist cracks under the chin's weight.
    Laying on the bed typing into their phone, the idea continues...

    "What's that?" asked the villain.

    "Don't #gloat unless you're completely safe." The hero flung open the hidden door, then flinched as sinister henchmen ran in. "Admittedly, that applies to me as well."
