presumably they walked there, too? I don't think folks realize what it'll be like to have civil twilight end after 8am

a brown tabby is peeking her face above a reflective surface, such that we can just see the bottom of her nose, and everything below is a fuzzy mirror image of what's above. her ears and their reflections make a funny X shape in the overall scene, and her eyes are looking at us intently

quite; the one and only time I've reported trace icing was in a PA-28, and I thought long and hard afterwards about where my planning and weather brief went wrong

put my first stamp in the Washington passport this year, hoping for many more soon. work and health challenges have made this a sadly inactive flying summer, but things are looking up just in time for bad weather 😜

the reporting on this stuff is a form of pareidolia. all this is explicable by a set of automatons stochastically exploring a state space and host environment with whatever predictive capacity an LLM affords them. absolutely no intent is required, they do not "know" what they are doing

oh! I just meant that accelerating in something slippery very close to the ground is the true glider experience. I haven't done an auto- (or moto-) tow yet, but my understanding is you lift off fairly quickly into the launch with those

I'm glad to see you comment on this. the YouTube algorithm put one of his earlier videos transport costs in front of me when I was sleepy enough to not think too critically about it; thanks to folks in the 3MA Discord I ended up reading and far preferring your Bread, How Did They Make It? series

even if you didn't build it yourself, you can still take it apart and lube all the switches now and then for the best feel and sound...

we did the Bull Run Watershed tour today with the Portland Water Bureau. I highly recommend it, both for infrastructure nerd reasons and to witness this otherwise-forbidden view of Mount Hood over Bull Run Lake

a landscape with a wildly large depth of field, showing in layers from foreground to background: volcanic stones forming a rocky beach, blue-green reflections of sky and trees in gently riplling water, a stripe of distant water blown harder into pale blue reflection, a saddle of conifer-covered hills, Mount Hood dressed in patchy snow and the remnants of cloud forced on the upslope, a broken layer of high cloud obscuring most of the blue

ProPublica spoke to dozens of people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote:

Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?
