Nooooo :(
Riding through the park along Elliott Bay for the first time in a while and there's lamp posts going up along what used to be an unlit bike path.
This used to be one of my favorite urban night rides: well paved, completely car free, great views of the distant city lights, but no lights in the park itself.
Now it's ruined.

The way you make an axe haft is you take a straight grained piece of hickory or ash, you split it along the grain with a froe, and then you use a drawknife to do final shaping (including for the eye). The reason you do this is that the shape then follows the natural cellulose fibres of the wood, which are very much stronger along their length than at even at a very slight angle.
(Yes, I'm sub-tooting someone on YouTube).

The Norwegian Syndicalist Federation (Norsk Syndikalistisk Forbund, @…) was founded in 1916 during a period of growing syndicalist influence in Norway.

The washing machine is thrumming along in the laundry. First load. I wander out the back door. Outside, it's damp but not raining. A currawong sits on a rock awaiting the morning's largesse. I pour out a small cupful of seed onto the feeder. On my way back, I pause by the sunken bathtub (repurposed as a planter). It is overflowing with luscious mint plants made extra vibrant by the overnight rain. I pick a single leaf and inhale. Its scent is glorious. Another sunday in suburbia.

Foreign body response to neural interfaces: Electrode implantation induces a local proinflammatory environment and biochemical responses. Following implantation, activated microglia rapidly adhere to the electrode surface and secrete proinflammatory mediators. This initial microglial adhesion is succeeded by astrocytic encapsulation along the entire electrode shaft, resulting in the formation of a glial scar.

#DearLazyWeb: Hey #Nederlanders ik heb en expat vrag over mijn #VvE. Our management company is absolute garbage. Our VVE management company recently scheduled repainting, during winter, with the most incompetent company possible, who did a horrible job, some of which didn't need to be done. Our windows had just been repainted since they were painted before we moved in, so 1/3 of the work they did was unnecessary, and now they look much worse than they did before. I could go on, but generally lots and lots of complaints along with absolutely terrible service.
Our upstairs neighbor (also an owner) also hates them and wants to switch, but a rental company owns the top half of the building and seems to be trying to force us in to staying. Basically, this management company is super cheap and the rental company are absolutely trash absentee leaches. (They *may* also have not been paying their part of the VvE fees for a while, but I'm not totally sure I understood everything.)
Unfortunately, I am way out of my depth and can't seem to get much help from google. Can anyone give me some advice about what to read or who to talk to, or are we actually stuck?

Spent some time today to use my GPS tracks and geo-located images to improve #OpenStreetMap around the trail to/from Choquequirao.
Next up will be doing the same for the trail to Machu Picchu - and then getting some images from along the way on Wikimedia Commons.

Weekend #Plankton Factoid 🦠🦐
Since 2011, millions of tons of a brown algae called Sargassum has washed onto beaches in the Caribbean. The rotting seaweed releases toxic hydrogen sulfide, smelling of rotten eggs, impacting tourism and shore access. It was initially thought Saharan iron dust was the cause, but new #science

Well - at 03:20 this morning - there was a cacophony in the back yard, and these two idiots ran up there and started barking. As it turns out - there was a young man wearing a hoodie and nothing else - yelling and cursing, eventually throwing around the lawn chairs that were in the back yard.

After Alaska ofcourse Putin is very willing to participate in another useless meeting in Hungary. While nothing has changed. The meeting will just be a further delay. Further talking is useless if Russia won't even agree to a cease-fire along current frontlines (which Zelensky is willing to discuss).

However wrong all that vibe-reading guesswork in the previous post might be, one thing is clear:
Yesterday was not what a country in the grip of an established autocrat looks like. No faits here are accompli. Nothing looks inevitable.
And that’s the most important thing: autocrats seize power by creating the widespread illusion that they •already have• seized power, that it’s inevitable, that you have to go along to survive. Yesterday made that illusion a lot harder to maintain.

Sonnenberg ridge entirely living up to its name...
(Made the most of the last warm weather yesterday afternoon to hike/climb along this beautiful long ridge with many cliffs, roped sections, some cute chamois and hardly any people — temporarily felt like late August, yet in two days supposedly snow starting...)
#SilentSunday

A narrow path along a very narrow ridge of light gray rocks, steep slopes dropping off on either side. The south-facing right side is mostly forested, illuminated by the warm afternoon sun. Blue sky with some streaky clouds.
Steep slopes with yellow brown dried grasses leading down into the valley between some cliffs of light gray rocks and forest. Everything bathed in warm golden light. The valley floor is visible with dense forest, a section of the Linder river and tall mountains rising up on the other side of the valley. Hazy sky.
The silhouette of a standalone rock needle and some nearby trees along the ridge. The sun and some mountains are partially visible from behind the rock. Beautiful red/brown grasses.
(Almost) white, vertical cliffs seen through the forest, illuminated by the late afternoon sun. A small section of blue sky above.

Nestled along the tranquil edge of a dark, glassy forest pool, a bronze statue of a mermaid rests gracefully upon a weathered rock. Her serene gaze drifts across the still water, which mirrors the surrounding lush greenery and tangled branches of the dense woodland. The mermaid’s shimmering tail, intricately detailed, drapes elegantly over the rock, blending artistry with nature’s quiet beauty. Sunlight filters softly through the canopy, casting dappled reflections on the water’s surface, enhan…
Framed by delicate pine needles, a charming lakeside lodge emerges—its rustic red roof and wooden balconies blending seamlessly with the surrounding forest. The multi-story building, with its warm brown tones and flower-adorned railings, exudes alpine coziness. Below, a calm lake mirrors the muted overcast sky, its surface undisturbed except for a few small ripples. The lodge’s lower level extends almost to the water’s edge, inviting guests to step outside and enjoy the tranquil setting. In the…
A winding wooden boardwalk meanders gracefully through a lush, emerald-green forest, inviting hikers into a tranquil natural sanctuary. The path, constructed from rich, weathered planks, curves gently upward, disappearing into the dense foliage of towering conifers and moss-covered rocks. Sunlight filters softly through the canopy, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor and highlighting the vibrant green moss that clings to boulders and fallen logs.
Nestled beneath a brooding, overcast sky, this tranquil mountain lake exudes a quiet, reflective beauty. The water’s glassy surface mirrors the surrounding evergreen forest, their deep emerald hues blending seamlessly with the muted grays of the clouds above. On the far shore, a striking red building peeks through the trees, its bold color contrasting with the natural palette of greens and browns.

The lake’s edge is lined with wild vegetation—tall grasses sway gently, while fallen logs and sca…

All user files have been moved across (will require some organisation still, and that alone will be a shock to a GenZ used to just dumping stuff on the cloud - honestly the desktop looked like my parents... 😱 ).
Most important programs are there (I had to explain difference between program and app along the way too).
And overall it's been a pretty positive learning experience for both of us. I have had to compromise on a few things and teenager has a few programs installed that I'd rather not - but let's see this as a gateway out of #BigTech if at all possible...
