✨ Sketching instead of Scrolling! ✨

These animals are from my 100-day journey to swap scrolling for sketching: https://www.joyousjoyness.com/pages/detox-doodles

Gentle nudge to remind you to do something other than scrolling, anything is better!

For the vintage and open source 3D printing enthusiasts, I've published the beta 1 of the BearExxaV2 Prusa firmware.

➡️ https://github.com/bear-lab-3d/BearExxaV2-Prusa-Firmware

For now it's only for the MK3S(+).

All modifications are detailed in the README, along with the reason for each one and the differences in the code.

Help Wanted :
I don't have access to a MK2.5S for now, so anyone interested in testing the firmware would be awesome 🥰

Enjoy :)

What To Watch On YouTube Right Now – Part 139

Welcome back my readers, YouTube viewers and all others who followed this series of articles focused on YouTube videos worth watching.

Have you been searching for something fun or interesting to watch on YouTube? Do you feel bored right now and you crave for something to see on the world’s most popular online video destination?

I recommend you check out the following videos I found.

#1 Maximum Carnage Revisited – With Spider-Man, Venom and Carnage all in high demand in 1993, Marvel Comics launched the 14-part Maximum Carnage storyline published on the four Spider-Man monthly comic book series and the quarterly Spider-Man Unlimited series. Carnage back then was a still new super villain who is more insane and more bloodthirsty than even Venom. Maximum Carnage has a divisive reception among fans and comic book collectors. Some called it the worst Spider-Man storyline while others found it exceptional as the chaos in New York City attracted other Marvel superheroes – notably Captain America – to help Spider-Man solve the crisis. Regardless of opinion, Maximum Carnage made an impact on pop culture and it got its own official video game adaptation. To discover more about Maximum Carnage in comics and in video game form, watch and learn from the videos below.

#2 The World’s Largest Truck Stop Diner – While I have visited the United States a number of times since 1989, I never had the opportunity to spend time at a truck stop diner nor have I ever experienced traveling long distances in a truck. Having seen truck stop diners (or rest places for truckers) on videos and on TV, I noticed those places have a unique vibe, its own culture and assorted meals customers can enjoy. As such, I urge you to watch the video below and pay attention to the details.

https://youtu.be/pt3g7xk_GWE?si=VpbCh8JJTwGkGenz

#3 You, Me And The Movies React To Scary Movie (2000) – In November of 2000, I saw Scary Movie in the local cinema here in the Philippines and almost all the seats were filled. That film was released in America in July that same year and it became a surprise box office hit. Even though it was not heavily promoted here in the Philippines, it still attracted a lot of local moviegoers upon opening. Regardless, the Keenen Ivory Wayans-directed movie was a mature parody of varied horror movies (notably the Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer movies) and its success made Anna Faris popular. Local moviegoers who enjoyed American Pie had their enjoyment watching Shannon Elizabeth again. Now that the movie is over a quarter-century old, one has to wonder if it still has the power to entertain viewers, especially those who missed out on it. That said, you should watch the reaction video of You, Me and the Movies below.

#4 Ashleigh Burton Reacts To Patriot Games – Recently, Ashleigh Burton posted her reaction video of the 1992 movie Patriot Games starring Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan. For context, Patriot Games was the cinematic sequel to The Hunt For Red October and both were based on novels by Tom Clancy. At the time of Patriot Games’ release, there was some buzz and even debates about Harrison Ford’s portrayal of Jack Ryan, especially when compared to Alec Baldwin’s take on the same character in the 1990 film. How Ashleigh Burton reacts to Patriot Games is a must-see.

#5 Bears Cause Trouble In Japan Again – Recently in Japan, bears are causing trouble once again and there was one person who got attacked. As there is still a lot of forests and untouched land in Japan, bears are present and arguably multiplying. From time to time, bears come out of the woods and appear in places where people dwell. As such, there is a lot for you to learn about them and you can stay safe in Japan by watching the Nippon TV video below.

#6 Why Gamers Stopped Buying Games At Full Price – Are you a hardcore gamer who got so disappointed with the current state of gaming that you decided to refrain from buying video games at full price? You definitely are not alone. In my experience as an Xbox gamer, I got very turned off by the changes made by Team Xbox as well as the quality of their high-profile first-party games of the past two years, I decided to go for bargains and retro gaming. I also extended my patience for brand new games to drop their prices first before I could even consider buying them. The video posted below explains in detail how the gaming landscape shifted and how the behaviors of gamers have changed which should concern every video game company that invested so much on making new video games. Watch it and pay attention to the details.

#7 Minty Comedic Arts’ Revenge Of The Nerds Trivia Video – During the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, Minty Comedic Arts posted his trivia video about the 1984 raunchy comedy classic Revenge of the Nerds. Directed by Jeff Kanew and starring the late Robert Carradine, Anthony Edwards, Ted McGinley and Julia Montgomery, the movie follows a group of socially awkward students who are compelled to form their own fraternity after getting harassed and bullied by a dominant fraternity. Filled with adulterated gags, funny dialogue and memorable character moments, Revenge of the Nerds was a commercial success and it spawned three sequels. The story behind the movie’s production is filled lots of details that are worth exploring and you can learn all about those by watching Minty Comedic Arts’ trivia video below.

#8 The Forgotten Cartoons Based On Video Games – You may have played the video games of Tomb Raider, Darkstalkers, Wing Commander, Mutant League and Bubsy. But have you seen the cartoon shows based on them? Indeed, there were animated adaptation of the said games and not too many gamers remember them. That said, you have to see GoodBadFlicks’ video about them now.

Japan To Launch Survey On Population Of Bears Following Surge In Attacks On People

In response to the recent surge of bear attacks on people, Japan will start an official survey on the population of bears particularly in the Tohoku region covering six prefectures, according to a news report by Kyodo News.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of Kyodo News Some parts in boldface…

The Environment Ministry will begin surveying bear populations in Japan’s northeastern Tohoku region and vicinity in June by setting up about 800 cameras in mountains, it said earlier this week, following a surge in bear attacks on humans.

Camera traps and other means will be used to help count black bears in the six prefectures of Aomori, Akita, Iwate, Yamagata, Miyagi and Fukushima — collectively known as Tohoku — as well as adjacent Niigata, with the estimates to be released possibly by early next year.

The survey plan was revealed as Japan saw a record high number of 238 people injured or killed by bear attacks in the year through March.

It was reported at a recent meeting of ministers on measures against bears that more of the animals were spotted in Tohoku in April than in the same month last year.

The ministry said it will conduct surveys in other areas of Japan in fiscal 2027.

Regarding a survey in the northern island of Hokkaido, inhabited by brown bears, the ministry plans to mainly use a method of collecting body hair to count and estimate their numbers.

The ministry also plans to survey the tiny population of black bears on Shikoku, in western Japan, but no research is planned for the adjacent island of Kyushu, where the animals are believed to have gone extinct.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? Do you think the Japanese government’s approved survey on the population of bears will turn out successful and helpful? Were you able to witness a bear attack a person there in Japan?

Blinky Bill: A delightful cultural exchange between Poland and Australia

For anyone from outside of Australia, Blinky Bill is a delightful koala character created in the 20th Century who became iconic in this country and much loved by all children. His popularity led to a widespread love of koalas in general and meant that real life koalas were adequately protected from being hunted. Here in this Polish Youtube channel Dział Zagraniczny they discuss in Polish for a Polish audience the evolution of Australia’s love of koalas who went from pests during colonial times to becoming an irreplaceable part of our national identity – in a large part due to Blinky Bill, a character created by a Kiwi author/illustrator! FYI you will need to turn on the auto-translated English subs for this one! This is an excellent channel that discusses obscure topics relating to foreign countries…worth a subscribe for sure. Poland is certainly filled with cosmopolitan people.

I didn’t know bears float like this

Now that I know….I am well and truly delighted that they are floaters. But this begs the question why do they float? Do they contain a lot of fat or something? …How is this fact not more commonly known or considered when one feels sad or overwhelmed? Just think of all of those floating bears out there floating on icy cold rivers looking for fish…think of them and feel better whatever you’re going through!

The Fatal Trap UBI Boosters Keep Falling Into

To win the argument for universal basic income, advocates must confront the myth that less work means less worth.

By: Karl Widerquist via MIT Press Reader

The general idea behind universal basic income (UBI) is almost as old as America itself. You can trace it back to 1797, when Thomas Paine argued for guaranteed payments in his political treatise “Agrarian Justice.” Fast forward to 2020, and Andrew Yang revived the idea with a “Freedom Dividend” during his failed presidential campaign. Despite the 200-plus-year chasm that separates these two men, the criticism they faced for backing UBI was strikingly similar: that “no one will work” and that “we can’t afford it.”

Because of this, supporters of the program might be tempted to believe that the purpose of UBI experiments is to allay these concerns with empirical evidence on the effect of UBI on work hours. The problem, however, is that these concerns are not rooted in empiricism but normative belief: namely that 1) lower-class people who refuse employment should receive nothing and 2) UBI costs more than it’s worth. And while not all UBI opponents believe these things, those who are often move the goalposts to portray almost any findings about cost and labor effort as reasons to reject UBI.

We must resist playing this game.

UBI-related experiments consistently find evidence that no participant responds to UBI experiments by dropping out of the labor force. Yes, some people reduce their hours of work, but the decline in work effort (if any) is clearly within a sustainable range. In other words, the evidence decisively contradicts claims that “no one will work” and “we can’t afford it.” But if we take the bait of focusing on such extreme statements, we attract everyone’s attention to opponents’ favorite issue: “Did the people who got the UBI ‘work’ as much as the people who didn’t?” Once the question is framed this way, it tosses a softball to opponents who predictably argue UBI is out of the question because some people didn’t work as much as they otherwise might have.

Any unconditional grant large enough to live on necessarily allows lower-class people to refuse employment. This fact — at least for critics who feel that people who refuse employment should receive nothing — makes UBI undesirable by design. To them, UBI will always be “unaffordable” because it will appear to cost more than they think it’s worth. UBI supporters fall into their trap if they attempt to refute this belief with, say, technical explanations of the difference between a 4 percent decline in labor hours and 4 percent of people leaving the labor force.

Supporters need to focus on all the good that comes of guaranteed income. As Bru Laín argues, UBI has a “positive impact on socioeconomic indicators related to a lack of money,” including the “alleviation of stress and mental illness, improvement in eating habits, settlement of household and personal debts, improvement of happiness, subjective well-being and social and community participation.”

Instead of trying to assuage critics’ fears, the pro-UBI movement needs to challenge the narrative in which any refusal to accept employment is a “bad” experimental observation.

Meanwhile, proponents of UBI that fall headfirst into critics’ trap even when they point to findings that that UBI increases labor effort. Consider these headlines from a UBI experiment in Stockton, California: “Experiment in guaranteed income leads to more work,” “Californians on universal basic income paid off debt and got full-time jobs,” and “The Biggest Payoff From Stockton Basic Income Program: Jobs.” Even the city’s mayor, Michael Tubbs, who was instrumental in establishing the program, employed this kind of rhetoric, saying, “Number one, tell your friends, tell your cousins, the guaranteed income did not make people stop working, in fact, those who received the guaranteed income were working more than before they received the guaranteed income and almost doubled in increase compared to those in the treatment group.”

The results Tubbs points to are largely determined by the design of the study: People who receive small grants when they weren’t working very much to begin with usually work more in UBI studies; people who receive larger grants when they are working full-time to begin with often work less. By portraying the uptick in Stockton’s labor effort as self-evidently good, Tubbs’ comments make it more difficult for future experiments that might involve larger grants to report the likely finding that people work less. Buying into the narrative that it is always “good” for low-income people to spend as much or more time on paid labor than they are now is a game UBI supporters can’t win and shouldn’t play. If the biggest problem in the world today were getting the lower class to work as much as possible, UBI would not be the best policy to achieve it.

Instead of trying to assuage critics’ fears, the pro-UBI movement needs to challenge the narrative in which any refusal to accept employment is a “bad” experimental observation. After all, how could it be a good thing for the global poor to spend more hours in grueling jobs for which they’re likely underpaid and overworked? What do you think will happen to wages and working conditions if the two billion people in deep poverty around the world all decide to work more at the same time? Theory predicts they would work longer hours for lower hourly wages.

One of the many disadvantages of UBI experiments is that they cannot measure how much wages and working conditions might improve in response to a substantial UBI, because that effect depends on the interaction between millions of citizens and employers across the country. The closest thing UBI experiments can measure is the first step in the process, and that step involves giving people a choice beyond working too hard for too little. So, rather than trying to quibble over hours worked, UBI supporters might have better luck broadcasting the good that comes when people with the worst jobs decide to work less — and using experiments as a platform for participants to tell their stories.

Karl Widerquist, a professor of philosophy at Georgetown University-Qatar who specializes in distributive justice, is the author of “Universal Basic Income.”
