For several days we started having problems with our light, apparently our current box gave up after having half of it's cables just play around without any fixation. Our plus was holding itself by miracle and our zero bas burnt to a crisp. For several years we were losing a ton of current into the ground:(
I don’t agree in one respect:
Neither OOP nor FP (nor 4GLs nor IDEs nor SOAs nor any of the other new hotnesses past) had anything remotely resembling the current money behind them. None led to companies speculatively laying off tens of thousands of employees for imagined productivity boosts that had not actually arrived yet. None shaped whole election cycles, or led to national proposals for preemptive deregulation. None led to the construction of nuclear power plants or the draining of rivers. None sent oligarchs or fascists into spasmodic wet dreams of world domination. None started quasi-religious cults like EA.
All •that• is the part that feels like blockchain — but even worse, if such a thing is possible.

Trump Said Unilateral 'Take It or Leave It' Tariffs Are Coming Soon - Business Insider

"Inspired by the political philosopher Albert Hirschman, figures including Goff, Thiel and the investor and writer Balaji Srinivasan have been championing what they call “exit” – the principle that those with means have the right to walk away from the obligations of citizenship, especially taxes and burdensome regulation. Retooling and rebranding the old ambitions and privileges of empires, they dream of splintering governments and carving up the world into hyper-capitalist, democracy-free havens under the sole control of the supremely wealthy, protected by private mercenaries, serviced by AI robots and financed by cryptocurrencies."

Our opponents know full well that we are entering an age of emergency, but have responded by embracing lethal yet self-serving delusions. Having bought into various apartheid fantasies of bunkered safety, they are choosing to let the Earth burn. Our task is to build a wide and deep movement, as spiritual as it is political, strong enough to stop these unhinged traitors. A movement rooted in a steadfast commitment to one another, across our many differences and divides, and to this miraculous, singular planet."

That's a first: I ordered & paid shorts from Nike, delivered by DPD as “will be deposited without ringing.” OK, there is a box at our mailbox and the parcel should fit. I get the notification “parcel delivered.” An hour later partner looks for it—nothing. Not in our box, not in one of the neighbors, not in the hallway, nothing. DPD sends a picture with our box and the parcel. So at least it was there once. But where is it now? Never before someone stole sth from this box. So the driv…
