The author asks, 'what if the tools we use shape our culture?' Of course it does. Look at cars; they've made us far more selfish, disconnected, and destructive. They've shaped our entire cities, and our entire culture.

I thought that Van Horn Texas was going to be one of those dreary west Texas towns of 1900 people. Well, it kinda looks like that.
However, we had a very nice dinner at the 1930's era El Capitan Hotel - I had a pork chop with a spectacularly good chipolte/raspberry glaze. Because of the eclipse traffic they ran out of food and the staff was at wits end. But all in all it was a good meal, good place, and very enjoyable.

Infinitely wildly ramified arboreal representations for postcritically finite polynomials with potential good reduction
Let $K$ be a number field, let $v$ be a finite place of $K$, let $f\in K[z]$ be a degree $d\geqslant2$ polynomial with $v|d$, and let $a\in K$. We show that if $f$ is postcritically bounded and has potential good reduction with respect to $v$, then the arboreal representation associated to the pair $(f,a)$ is either finite or infinitely wildly ramified above $v$.

The Las Vegas Raiders are trying to rebuild and revitalize their offense. They have the pieces to have a good offense, but their system was flawed from the get-go last season. With the same system in place when Antonio Pierce took over, things would never change. This offseason, Antonio Pierce made a game-changing move by assembling his own staff, a notable addition being former Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy. Despite his unconventional tenure with the Bears, Getsy's arrival sig…

Last week Friday, I found myself watching YouTube videos from a place in Australia that makes fancy marshmallows. I had a hankering and went looking to see what shipping was from Australia. After seeing the price, I decided to see if there was a place that is a little bit closer and found a very small company based in Lake Mills. My order just arrived.
They are good. I think that I was expecting mind-blowingly good, though.

The second best level is definitely "Boomtown", the first in the cowboy/western campaign.
The best bit in that is where you whip the one armoured guy, then tripple shoot the baddies in the corner, as it's singing "This ain't no place for no hero, go home" and then the four armoured ones that you pistol whip on the drums, Bang, bang, bang, bang.
I haven't made it through that one without losing my Armour. Being hit not even once is the key really to chart-topping.
I think probably number three is the prequel in that series "fist fight" with lots of pistol whipping.
Then there's a big gulf before the rest. They're all cool, but none of them are really *that* cool, as cool as the "go home, bang bang bang smash"
Anyone seen any good user-submitted ones?
Seems like it's been ages since a new level. Perhaps we'll get some for Easter. That'd be good. Bunny shooting.

I've been reading "On Green” (https://joecarlsmith.com/2024/03/21/on-green) and its following article, “On Attunement” with some interest today. I am uninterested in the ways he is focused on “AGI”, but that might actually be part of what he's saying and missing.
They talk about the philosophy of green in the "magic the gathering" sense, which has five core modes of things, and being a game, designed to balance. It's an attractive system and not without merit as a philosophical labeling system. In short: white, moral; blue, knowledge and rationality; red, passion and desire; black, power and achievement. And green. Green is the subject they can't identify clearly.
I don't think they really understand green. (They come from a very rationalist place, and that's not a good mode to understand Green)
Green is the domain of systems thinking and of ecology. It's one of flexible boundaries and hierarchies that vanish when you look at them for long. They talk about philosophical agents and try to fit a green philosophical stance into that framework, but it misses: the very idea of a self is nebulous in a green philosophy. Yes, it obviously exists, we are all separate from each other. But also we are inseparable from each other. Green is a philosophy of relationality and multiple perspectives and ever shifting viewpoints. It's not just yin, passive, permissive, but holistic. It's not that it lets the Other in, it's that it actively is in relation with the Other. The other is the self, the self is the other.
The essays also label green as conservative, and this is not quite true. It is not about being slow or regressive or traditional, but about being whole. They can't quite see that green's willingness to accept death and pain as things that happen and also its strong preservationist stance are not opposed to each other. It seems incoherent, but it's not: death and pain are things that happen to living parts of an ecosystem. They matter, but so too does the whole matter. Where so many blue rationalists see statistical and demographic counts of deaths and "sentient beings harmed”, green sees a whole ecosystem where some of that is deeply natural. It's unnatural, ecosystem-harming deaths that are disasters in the green philosophy. Wholesale extinctions. Protracted, painful deaths, as much for the wound they cause outside the individual as the individual suffering as well. But we all come to an end, and to change that wholesale would end so many kinds of relationship, so many things.
Green revels in the illegible, the incomplete, and the connected. It's easy to be green-blind, to ignore the subtle systemic effects. So many of us want simple cause and effect, rather than action and plurality of reactions.
Green's ability to embrace the illegible lets it deal with Red chaos; its resilience tempers red passion. It can ally with White philosophies into a pastoral, conservative, moralistic framework. It ends up at odds with the rationalist Blue and the power-hungry Black, because they drive disequilibrium, but more than just transition to new stable ecologies, they drive systems permanently out of stability, destroying relationships in their path. When confronted with this, they will deny it because the objects are still there. Preserved. Catalogued. Legible and accounted for. Perhaps used instrumentally. Perhaps wrecked for some "greater purpose” but only acknowledged as objects. The relationships between things remain illegible.

About life and feelings, gloomy and private
The feelings we get from the activities we do could be classified as neutral, positive and negative.
Let's take developing #Gentoo as an example. It's something that makes me happy — but you can't (or at least I can't) just get the happiness and reject everything else. Most of the Gentoo work is basically neutral, even bland — a duty that takes a lot of time and effort, and probably a little of your health. It's statistically probable that you're going to get some positive feelings out of it — the joy of success, satisfaction, appreciation, awareness that you've done something good. But you also get negative feelings — from failures, frustration, negative interactions.
My hiking trips are like that too. My family believes that "I do it for pleasure" — but it's a harmful oversimplification and it only tells me that they even aren't trying to understand me. In fact, it's mostly a necessity, a way of solving specific problems that works for me — halting diabetes-related problems, coping with emotions. Of course there's a positive side to it — good mood, energy to survive another day, something the joy of visiting a new place, seeing something beautiful, finding a solution to a vexatious problem, positive interactions with people. But there are also negative feelings — anger and sadness from failure, stress from problems, negative contacts with people. Sometimes you end up slowly charging your social battery for a whole week, just to have one person destroy it all.
If you think about it, life's something like that. It's mostly a bland effort to survive every following day, sometimes interspersed with positive or negative moments.

Good article by UCLA Prof David Myers on last night's attack on the UCLA Gaza Solidarity Encampment.
"Instead, UCLA now finds itself in a far more vulnerable place. The attack last night was pure anarchy in which violent thugs were given free rein, seemingly with the tacit support of law enforcement. It placed scores of anti-war demonstrators in the encampment in direct and serious danger.
Moreover, the actions last night do absolutely nothing to assure the security and well-being of Jewish students, staff or faculty — a number of whom have participated in or support the protests. These actions risk lending the false impression that the outside agitators are representative of Jewish interests on campus, which can further inflame tensions between student groups. "

It looks really good in place of the old couch and just like the old couch, matches everything pretty well!

Good Morning #Canada
Yesterday was Curling Is Cool Day. Saying it doesn't make it so. And today is Curling Day In Canada. A sport that Canadians learned from Scottish ancestors, and then proceeded to crush them in international competitions. Women curlers are rock stars in Canada, particularly in Manitoba where there are more curling rinks than Moose. Forget hockey or lacrosse, here's…

Curling
Curling is a sport in which two teams of four players each send stones over an ice surface toward a target circle in an attempt to place nearest the centre. In ...

While clearing up my late mother’s house, I came across some historically significant newspapers that she had stored in a cedar chest more than fifty years ago. Rather than leaving them sitting in a drawer at my place, I’m trying to think how they might be put to good use in some kind of educational program, or displayed where people could see them. The Toronto Archives were not interested, and the museum library has not yet responded to my query. Ideas are welcome!

There they continued to proclaim the good news. Acts 14.7 NET.

Good news! The Airbus A321neo has usb ports in an easy place to reach!
Bad news! They’re USB-A.

There's a big owl that lives up in the forest behind my house and occasionally does a nap-of-the-earth canyon flight between my place and the uphill neighbor's house.
No idea what kind of owl it is since it's pretty fast and I've never got a good look at it.
But I'm pretty sure it's superb.

Local pizza place is having a celebration they say includes free face painting. Sounds good, but I bet they overcharge you on the scraping and sanding to make up for it.

Thanks for all your good thoughts. ❤️ Here’s the view from the back yard of my new place - YAY ME!
FYI the land mass off in the distance is Vancouver Island.

#KL vibe.
Lunar new year down south. Probing a (physical) filter at noon w/ harsh light conditions.
A place that smells like sambal and dhal, and where the SkyTrain cuts the horizon in half. Sure,

Good morning and happy Tuesday #Fediverse
Let's all talk about what our day is going to consist of today, or what it has already consisted of.
For me, I have a TON of work stuff along with three meetings today.
After that my wife will be taking me out to dinner for my birthday today. We'll be going to a place called Village Tavern that we've been to once tha…

What?! They did away with the best bit of all BMW estates as well? I don't believe it?
On the G61:
"This model gets a bad mark for the fact that it’s the first 5 Touring that doesn’t feature a separately opening rear glass section of the rear hatch, so you have to open it fully every time you have something to place there."

What Is the Best Looking 5 Series Touring?
It’s a good time to look back at all the BMW 5 Series Touring models and rank them by their looks. Which one is our favorite? Let's find out!

Picking the best Round 1 draft target for the Las Vegas Raiders ahead of 2024 NFL Free Agency
The Las Vegas Raiders feel like they finally have the right staff in place to get the franchise to that next level. Now, they have to make some huge decisions in the offseason. Obviously, it starts with free agency, as that is first on the NFL schedule, but the NFL Draft is just as important, if not more important. That's where the decisions of the future will be made. One good pick can change the trajectory of your franchise, as can one very bad pick, as we have seen with the Raiders far too o…

Started this project today. It's been on my to-do list for 4 years, and most of the materials were stored somewhere on the property during that period. Made good progress today, and likely will take me a week to finish (weather forecast). Once completed I can then take care of some plant moves that were also delayed waiting for this staircase to be in place.

Good Morning #Canada
On Valentines Day it's safe to assume there was no love between Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray. Both filed patent applications on the same day, February 14th 1876. This was no coincidence as the two inventors were very well aware of each other's work in the late 1870s. Bell ultimately was successful (duh) and secured his place in history, although he may have …
