Cold and windy, but my gluttony over the holidays has insulated me well. I would trade some of it for fitness, which I suppose is what’s happening, albeit much slower and more arduously than I might like.
Ran 4/1 minute run/walk intervals for what turned out to be 6.5 km. Pace was 8:03/km.

Series C, Episode 03 - Volcano
TARRANT: Your levels of volcanic activity are high.
BERSHAR: Not dangerously so. We monitor the volcano constantly.
TARRANT: Could you control it, if it became necessary?

'Schnee und Eis nah dran' #FotoVorschlag ' Snow and Ice closeup'
Oh I have to post this photo again. Sorry if you've seen it in the past already.
But lying on the ground on top of a summit, waiting for the next gust of wind blowing the snow into my direction... this day will stay in my memories! - To me it is my absolute closeup of snow and ice.

Added a zoom level to the Category page on the Exocortex-Log app. Can make the graphs look a lot cleaner now.
Looking back over the last 100 months here, we can see in general my social life is quite seasonal -- Festivals are a lot of social all weekend long and a couple of them in a month really bumps up the hours from my usual habit of sitting alone in a dark room pressing buttons.
The peak in 2019 is a summer filled with Glasto and Noisily and another festival or camping trip I don’t seem to have recorded the name of.
Then clearly visible is the drop-off in social activity as the COVID pandemic hit. Virtual-Social (IE zoom meetings and the like) picked up quite a bit around there but had died back to almost nothing way before the hours spent with actual people started to tick up.
Annoyingly, I have my biggest gap in data right on top of the pandemic there, where I failed to back up for months and then data became corrupted.
When the data-hole is over we see social life still not really returning until the middle of 2021 and not really getting back into stride until summer 2022.
It remains much lower now on average with lower peaks than before the pandemic too. Multiple reasons.
Work is pretty constant all the way though other than the data-hole. Dipping when I take time off for social mostly.
That data-hole is annoying. Back up your data kids.

So yeah, as @… is perhaps implying, part of the reason you don’t see it is that the mainstream press is under-covering everything that’s happening in Minneapolis.
BUT! There’s a second reason you might not know about this activity, equally important: the activity that followed the murder of George Floyd — rallies, protests, marches, police riots — was of a highly visible sort. What I see now is much more community infrastructure work: neighborhood organizing, watching for ICE, delivering food. That happened in 2020 too, but the scale of it now…!

I bought a pair of 25' Intellitron stainless steel whip antennas from GigaParts while they were on sale ("two is one and one is none" and the second one tipped me me into "free shipping" making its marginal cost pretty low). On removing them from the packages, however, loose roll pins fell out, and the bases fell off the antennas. Both of them.
A roll pin is an inappropriate fastener to use to connect two concentric thin-walled tubes, so this is a design failure. And the roll pins are …
This, however, is not sufficient. We are under siege, and we need protection.
I don’t know the answers to any of the questions in this thread, but I do know this: There is no patience left here in Minneapolis.
Leaders had better take visible, concrete action to •actively defend• the city — especially schools — if they want this city to hold together.
