Oben blauer Himmel mit im Vordergrund nur Wolkenfetzen, am Horizont dagegen eher wie ein Dach über der Landschaft liegend.

Der Abstand zwischen den beiden Linien ist fast so breit (ca. 1.3m bis 1.4m) wie der Velostreifen (ca. 1.5m bis 1.6m) und die Linien sind auch fast parallel zu den Begrenzungsmarkierungen des Velostreifens. …

An outdoor market scene with fresh produce displayed. Bundles of sugarcane lean against a brick wall. Plastic crates on the ground hold white radishes and other vegetables. A woven basket and plastic bags filled with produce are nearby. A red-framed glass door is open, revealing a sign in Chinese offering a small cash reward via QR code. The lighting casts a warm orange glow, enhancing the cozy, local atmosphere.

A storefront window of a traditional meat shop. A large piece of meat hangs inside, visible through the glass. Two warm-toned hanging lamps illuminate the interior, where shelves with various items are faintly seen. The window is framed in red, and the exterior wall is made of brick. The image is bathed in a reddish-orange hue, creating a nostalgic and atmospheric mood. Chinese signs flank the window but are blurred.

Three gates on hinges and stock proof. One wooden gate loaded up to be relocated. This feels like a useful afternoon's work.
#Crofting
#TheJoyOfCrofting

As described in the post. In the background, left, dark spruce woodland. There are two steel gates to the left of the tractor, one new, one relocated. The tractor is in the middle, between the gates, with an old but sound wooden gate loaded into the box, leaning against the roll bar.

There is strong sunshine.

This is what Weizenbaum wrote about the dawn of the computer age: it was used as an excuse to not even try to make society better. The same thing is happening with “AI” now.
We know what would make society better.
One example is UBI (which Weizenbaum mentions in the same book in passing as “negative income tax”).
But of course we don’t have universal healthcare or UBI nor really any other advances (perhaps the ADA was a rare win); instead trillions of dollars are invested into software that tells us to bomb schools; for the sole reason to say it was the computers’ fault, not ours.
This book* was written 50 years ago.

Well, that's another gate hung. It has to be said Icarus isn't impressed. #Crofting #TheJoyOfCrofting

A new galvanised steel gate, on its hinges, properly bolted closed. Beyond it, Icarus, my younger bull, inspects it, grumbling in dissatisfaction. Behind him, tools lean up against the box of The Little Tractor That Can.

Basically these rakes use heavy-gauge metal spiral-wound wire to grab on to pet hair, it's kind of magical to see your rug change color lol.
Get one with a long handle so you don't need to bend over.
Note: can't use them on some types of of rugs, like wool or silk; so read the instructions/warnings!
