This path has been a hard packed clay mess alongside our house forever. This week I got $29 worth of sand, about $5 (of a $40 load) worth of lawn soil and $150 worth of slate stones and a path is born. We have a whole bunch of clover seed we will seed it with. I also need to get a load of round stones for the edge. Drainage is an issue here, which is why I built it up so much with sand.

Well done everyone. We had some ups, we had some downs, we had some downright crap. But we stuck with it and there were a few gems.

Hey, just a snap from last week's hike with friends. The weather was really awesome and we just had a great time together.
Lots of talking, lots of enjoying nature. It was really a very nice day together in the mountains.

Two weeks ago, I had never heard of #Matomo, and as of this week, I am not impressed. I don't even know what it does. And why? My clients naively clicked the one-click upgrade to 5.0.0, and ever since, the db throws a type-mismatch error when attempting to login; one week later there is still no response to my ticket. Not even an ACK. That's not a good sign.

My wife and I were at a concert earlier this week. I sat at a table while she went to "boogie" (that's the word she used.)
She was wearing a blue & white stripped shirt.
Later she came back to the table and said "So I saw these red spots on my shirt and then realized my finger was bleeding so I was tossing drops of blood onto my shirt!"
I said "Well, now your shirt is like the US flag! Blue and white, with the red representing the blood that…

The RTA has applied for a USDOT Reconnecting Communities and Neighborhoods grant with the help of local leaders and state legislators. If awarded, it will be used to prepare our major corridors for BRT by funding capital construction studies.
This would be the biggest step forward for regional transit infrastructure, Oakland Transit notwithstanding, since the RTA's first push back in 2016. Grants will be awarded later this week 🍿
Personal, waiting through your life, ASD, sad
I suppose many people in the spectrum didn't have an easy childhood, especially if they lived in rural areas. Having difficulties bonding with peers, problems, solitude, bullying. However, the worst that you could have is having your parents tell the child that you just need to survive and wait, because one day you'll go a different school, meet new people and things will miraculously "be better". Because the child will take that literally, and make a point of their childhood to wait for this better day. It will believe that the problem is just a matter time, and then it will be solved.
Then comes the time for a higher grade school. And perhaps it will be a little better. But it won't be as great as it was promised. Perhaps you will cope better, perhaps you will find a better company, but you will never be neurotypical. And you will hear, once again, that you need to wait, and at the university things will definitely be just great.
Then comes the time for university. And again, it will be a little better, but never as good as it was promised. On the other hand, you will start realizing even more that you can't fit — that you've missed an important part of your life, that you lack the experiences that other people have, that you're a child that's suddenly ended up an adult between adults. And what will you hear? Of course, when you finally go to work, things will be even better.
And what's the truth? The future never brings anything better of its own accord. What it brings instead, is the realization that you've wasted the best years of your life waiting to be an adult. And then you are old, unhealthy and surrounded by people who sorted out their lives a long time ago. And people expect from you that you will work hard 5 days a week, and somehow manage to find more energy to sort out your own life at that.
And yes, as the old maxim says, you should just cope all these years and wait for retirement. Presuming you'll actually qualify for pension, that you'll be reasonably healthy and that the world won't burn completely by the time.

I don't know how popular they ever were outside of Milan, Italy but I miss (badly, proper nostalgia) old-school PC shops.
The ones with dusty-on-arrival Lotus 1-2-3 boxes, and 4MB RAM sticks, and occasional fancy CPUs ("We're getting two MMX next week!") and/or VESA video card.
In my case, the shop came with a family friend behind the counter so I miss it even more, but I miss them in general.

new figures last week showed that atmospheric levels of the three main greenhouse gases—carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide—reached new all-time highs last year.
The global surface concentration of CO2, averaged across all 12 months of 2023, was 419.3 parts per million (ppm), an increase of 2.8 ppm during the year. This was the 12th consecutive year CO2 increased by more than 2 ppm,

A New York appeals court judge has rejected former President Donald Trump’s request to delay his 15 April hush-money criminal trial while he fights to move the case out of Manhattan.
The decision came Monday, a week before jury selection was set to start.

Trump was ready on Monday to sue the judge in his New Yo…
