When considering what keyboard shortcuts to support in your application, don’t stress about JAWS/NVDA. They have pass-through commands (a key combo that tells the SR to ignore the next key/combo).
• NVDA F2
• JAWS 3
• Narrator 3
Stress about other languages instead.

Ich weiß sehr wohl, was ich tun müsste. Die Sache ist vielmehr, dass die Lösungen allein schon vom Recherchieren so viel Stress machen, dass ich nicht weiß, wie ich das jemals schaffen soll.

We are told that, under stress, the humanities must be sacrificed
-- of what use are literature, philosophy, and history when we have problems to solve right now?
And yet colleagues meeting in wartime Kyiv have a clearer sense of purpose, more esprit de corps, , and a better instinct for the essential.
And soldiers on the front (as they tell me) want to talk about history and culture.
In traumatic conditions, people think about where they stand amidst larger force…

I cannot stress enough how effective economic attacks have been as a tool throughout US history. They're basically *the thing that works* historically.
Edit:
Someone else pointed out that the American Revolution started with a big economic blockade. The Civil Rights movement involved a boycott of Woolworths and there was the bus boycott. Yeah... lots of examples, and a lot of them ended with their demands being met.

The new fence is basically done!!
Funny story that will hit home to anyone on Vancouver Island:
Two days ago the builders hadn’t added the new top section to the big gate in the back. A very large buck/deer jumped the fence and bent the wire so they had to try and bend it back out the best they could”
This is particularly funny for us because the other side, near the chicken coop (before it was there) the old fencing was bent from an over-eager bear trying to climb in.
Just mother nature ensuring balance, new and old, bent and unbent.
I am glad we are now bylaw-compliant for the #poolpond and the edibles should be out of the reach of the larger animals (racoons and birds and cats and squirrels and whatever other small creatures are inescapable)
The arbutus tree is now leaning against the fence. We'll see if it gets the message and grows in a more vertical kind of way naturally relieving stress from the fence, or if we might have to provide in a portal.
The most surprising part they managed to conquer was lifting the grape as high as they did! Very satisfied with that development!

That's certified by NREL and represents a huge leap forward. The cell uses a clever dual-buffer layer design for better durability—it kept over 97% efficiency after bending and heat stress tests.
This could unlock solar panels that bend and flex for new applications.

Any sufficiently advanced disaster preparedness is indistinguishable from revolutionary dual power. This essay is a bit of a transition between the theory I've written earlier, and more concrete plans.
Even though I only touched on my life on the commune, it was hard not to write more. These are such weird spaces, with so much invisible opportunity. But they're also just so unique and special. For all the stress and uncertainty of making sure you stayed on Lorean's (the head priestess), there were also those long summer nights with the whole community (except the old lady) gathered around a fire, talking and drinking. There was almost a child-like play to the whole time.
There were so Fridays I'd come home with a couple of gallons of beer from the real world, folks would bring things from the garden, someone would grill a steak, everyone who didn't cook would clean up, and we'd just hang out and have fun. So many evenings I'd go over to Miles place with a guitar, or with his guitar, and we'd pass it around over a few beers, talking about philosophy, Star Wars, or some book or other. It's hard not to write about the strange magic of that space.
My partner and I bonded over similar experiences, mine on a weird little religious commune in California and theirs as a temporary worker at Omega Institute. Both had exploitation, people on weird power trips, frustrating dynamics, but also a strange magic and freedom. Both were sort of fantasy worlds, but places that let us see through this one, let us imagine something that something else is possible behind the veil.
There are many such veils.
Perhaps it's fitting that this is more meandering, as a good wander can help the transition between lots of hard thinking and lots of hard working.

Blue = ambient temperature, red = hot temperature, H = hand pollination (circles in A), Control = Pieris-control (circles in B), Coevo = coevolution Pieris-only (squares), CoB = coevolution Pieris + bumblebees (triangles).
