New bookshelves setup and half my book boxes emptied.

A pair of bookcases filled with books. Absolutely no order to their arrangement; that comes later.

This is probably the scariest poll I’ve seen. I just can’t make myself understand that anyone reacts to what is going on with pride or satisfaction.

I printed a mini! It looks a bit trash because I used low print settings - I wasn’t sure if it would work, and wanted to know in 2 hours instead of 8+

Weirdly, a fresh session gave the correct answer. It definitely searched the web for it, though. Not sure why in the original instance the algorithm didn't decide to do a web search.

After returning to power in October 2023 he abolished an anti-corruption police unit and a special prosecutor’s office which was prosecuting Smer mps. The government shortened the statute of limitations on corruption cases and reduced penalties for bribes. It transformed the state broadcaster into a pro-government mouthpiece. Heads of cultural institutions such as the National Gallery have been replaced by party loyalists. Mr Fico grew more radical after a failed assassination attempt last May. Many accuse him of leading an autocratic transformation of the state, like that of Viktor Orban in Hungary.

From “How premodern energy shaped Britain”

Thus began a “domestic revolution”, in the phrase of Ruth Goodman, a historian. Coal was quickly adopted, and then adapted to. Wood smoke could find its way out of the crannies of wattle-and-daub houses and small openings of thatched roofs but coal smoke could not. Houses were rebuilt with chimneys to whip away the noxious gases. The “Great Rebuilding” of London in the 17th century, aided by the Great Fire in 1666, turned a wood-powered city into a coal-fired one. Houses changed from being open-plan structures built around a central communal hearth, Ms Goodman notes, to individual rooms with fireplaces built into walls. Tapestries, which would collect coal dust, were dispensed with. Women began to devote more hours to cleaning soot from walls, surfaces and dishes (and less time on outdoor chores like going to the market or ploughing fields). Britain’s medieval cuisine, cooked over the low and stable heat of wood, was replaced with boiled vegetables and baked meat, easier to manage with the hotter and more variable flame of coal. Britain’s reputation for cookery has never recovered.

The Economist says the quiet part out loud:

More esoteric forms of speculation, although not technically gambling in most regulators’ eyes, are growing equally fast. Day-traders are loading up on futures and options that expire in hours, as a way to bet on how a share-price will move in the very short term. Most such contracts earn little or no return, but some yield ten or 100 times the initial outlay. By the same token, much of the enthusiasm for certain cryptocurrencies can seem like a high-octane game of chance. Tot all of this activity up—betting in physical and online casinos, on sport and on elections—and Americans are on track to wager $700bn in 2024, up from $400bn five years ago. In addition, they are probably betting several hundred billion dollars more each year on short-term equity moves.

My current book wall. Behind the black mat are something like 14 bankers boxes of more books I need to find places for.
