  5. People are asking me about the race problem.... I know of no race problem. The great problem that confronts the American people to-day is a national problem -- whether this great nation of ours is great enough to live up to its own convictions, carry out its own declaration of independence, and execute the provisions of its own constitution.
    -- Frederick Douglass (1893)

  11. Car graveyard pt II

    (We're standing on the track, not trespassing)

    Still dreaming of the 80's, under their blanket of moss and leaves.

  13. If your brain is always multitasking, or responding to technoprompts, there is no time or energy for undirected mental play. Furthermore, if you are consumed by the same information loop circulating around everyone else, you don't have anything to stimulate you into thinking differently. ... You don't have access to unexpected knowledge. You're just swept along in the same narrow current as everyone else, which is swift but not deep.

  17. Hauled a trailer full of metal to the scrap dealer, 323 kg Steel and 11 kg Aluminium.

    Minus 5% income tax that yielded €100, some cake and more space in the yard 🥳

    Edit: Oh, also while I was throwing my junk on a giant pile I got to watch a stripped bare Volvo chassis get smashed flat and stacked on top of that pile of car bones. Exercise, entertainment and you get paid for it!

  23. Today's communications network is a $300 billion sunk cost, circuit-switched telco network whale with the tiny market of ISPs circling around like pilot fish. We need a data network that can easily carry voice, instead of what we have today, a voice network struggling to carry data.

  24. In the game of life and evolution there are three players at the table: human beings, nature, and machines. I am firmly on the side of nature. But nature, I suspect, is on the side of the machines.
