  1. @elaterite I’ve just come across the name ‘Minden’. #Minden, #Nevada, is actually named after Minden in North Rhine-Westphalia, #Germany. That’s quite close by here. Interesting...

  2. @elaterite @akkana @croyle @sofonofos inside chili tips! So here for it 🤍

    Tho I must object to buying new appliances

  3. @elaterite @BobHorowitz Here it is, by special request: the woman who dashed out to sweep the pavement in front of her house, especially for my photo.

    The village is Miranda del Castañar, an amazing time-warp place. There is a great campsite nearby, El Burrro Blanco; I absolutely love the place.

  8. @elaterite Amazing: I took a very similar photo last year on the other side of the Atlantic – in #Greece. It's one of maybe three #Aermotor windmills I've encountered over here in Europe.

  9. @elaterite hi thanks for your comment, yes indeed this is what creates the #fascination of #paleontology, first to discover something that only accidentally got in circumstances to be fossilized, and thern to hold these prehistoric remains not only in hands, but even be able to scientifically analyse them with a diversity of modern #methods and finally to contribute to an understanding about how and why life could #evolve on #Earth. Not too much is more interesting and even more important.

  10. @elaterite I cut & pasted part of your question ("AI Free" third-party certification organization) into DuckDuckGo and found this site which seems to be what you were asking for. aifreecert.com/

    Rather than duplicate the effort, it would probably be better to work with them to build up the systems for verification. Also, invite them onto Mastodon. #FPNF

  11. CW: Ungulate horns

    @elaterite
    We call them #antlers. Cattle have horns. Antlers shed each year. Weathering bleaches them.
    Found these in Five Rivers back when that #Alsea river feeder was open to #salmon #fishing. Perhaps this #elk was a victim of hunting season after escaping wounded.

    Oh, that very photograph was a living part of my inner world as a young boy: visions of daring discoveries and inventions, and the ideal of persisting against the odds and not listening to all those conventional voices around you that say it can't be done. Seeing it here brings back powerful memories.

    And yes, you are right, Daniels's image is not just a coincidental record, visually & artistically it stands on its own as a true photograph.

    And that’s the point, isn’t it. As long as an appliance workd without connecting, why would you? On the other hand, my PV set up is connected to the internet because it’s the only means I have to monitor/manage the system… until I find another tool which does the job without connecting to ‘god knows where’…

    The installers argued that it helps them ensure my system is in good health and also that if I report a problem, the can go online to have a look at it… it bothers me though I can’t put my finger on why it does just yet.

    Gosh, just got an alert for 7+ KP. Can probably see it in Zurich if I stepped outside. That satellite data is epic!

  17. @elaterite It looks like an unexpectedly modern sign for being from one Gold Rush ghost town to another and then warning of a rough road to a town that still exists. #mapgeek

  18. @elaterite @User47 Right down the road... 😀 Yeah, they're both on US 93. 267mi apart. 😲 #mapgeek

  19. @elaterite great backdrop.
    #Hovenweep NM is a unique place, so peaceful and isolated even at the main ruins. I've always had the other areas all to myself, so few visitors.

    Surprise sighting along a lonely highway in the desert.

    We have poison dart frogs (and Panamanian Golden Frogs) at #SenecaParkZoo, but I never knew that was how they produced their neurotoxins. I'll have to grab some pics with my fancy new macro lens.

  22. @elaterite Great catch in a great spot.
    I love watching sunrise from the Cedar Mesa rim above them. As early morning shadows of giant stone spires race across the landscape, you can literally see the earth rotating.

    I worked as staff in an academic library and year by year since 2000 I saw firsthand general critical thinking skills decreasing. More and more book smarts, rote smarts, but less and less on-the-fly smarts is the best way I can explain it. They weren't dumber, even smarter in specialized areas, and that seemed to be the problem. Not enough general humanities education to develop empathy or understanding when things didn't go their way.
