When I was in college I saw a martial arts demonstration by a hapkido school about how to fall. They had experts diving over one and two people kneeling on the ground and landing in a ball and rolling. They said “most people won’t get into a fight in their adult life, but everybody falls.” I […]

They should make a more realistic hospital drama, where at the beginning of an episode the doctor says “I’ll send you a glass of water,” and then two hours later they deliver the water.

Had a team meeting at work yesterday and it was amazing how none of the team believe that we will have jobs before long. I figured I would be out of a job as I'm in no way the best dev on the team but they were all extremely pessimistic, even the best developer on the team.

Finally some good news! #Environment #Renewables #Solar
An aerial photo of the Six Flags amusement park in Los Angles showing the park and its surrounding parking lots covered in solar panels. About the photo is a story excerpt “Six Flags installed California's largest solar carport.
Six Flags Magic Mountain just finished installing a new 12.37-megawatt solar installation above its parking lot, making it California's largest solar carport. It's expected to generate enough electricity each year to offset both the amusement park and neighboring Hurricane Harbor Los Angeles.
One of the largest solar carport projects in the country, it uses bifacial panels, which collect sunlight reflected from the ground, too. The installation will also allow employees and customers to return to cooler vehicles that have been shaded all day.”A photo of the Six Flags amusement park in Los Angles showing a large solar panel setup covering the parking lot. A headline reads “ Six Flags installed California's largest solar carport
One of the largest in the U.S., it will produce enough electricity to offset both the amusement park and neighboring Hurricane Harbor Los Angeles.”
