That was exactly my response! I thought I was in a Solarpunk writing thread. @OP, you should totally just ask the folks at the repair cafe if there is a way you can get involved to learn. Maybe volunteer your time.

And also let us know what utopia you are living in. I'm guessing Europe somewhere...

If you do happen to find it, please post a link. I'll go looking also.

Never mind. It was linked in the article.The paper in question.

Flexible weather stripping for doors is good for this.

I personally possess all of the musical acumen commonly found in gravel, and I'm just learning Clojure as a language, but I wanted to comment and say this looks like an incredibly interesting project and takes me back to when I downloaded a midi editor on my family computer many decades ago! Thanks for posting it here!

I agree that separating people who do not abide by the contract of society is necessary, but I think we (America) are wrong to make it a punitive experience. Separate them and let them live their lives as comfortably as they can. Causing additional suffering does not seem to be necessary.

It is the weird backlighting from the Christmas lights. I took a selfie of my wife and I in front of a Christmas tree in a park one time and it looks like the most hilariously badly photoshopped image imaginable.

The answer is "no", in multiple ways in this case. Is this an exercise drug? No. This is a drug meant to stimulate the effects of exercise for people with Alzheimer's. Does it clearly work for that purpose? No.

You can pretty much just not open articles with headlines in this format. If there was exciting news to report, the headline would say that instead.

In related news, the people who said we shouldn't cut down all of the American Chestnut trees when they got a blight were absolutely right, but were overruled by capitalism.

Looks amazing! I recommend getting yourself a sprouting kit (or making one. They are easy) and then you can have the freshest bean sprouts all the time!

 

We started a discussion in a Signal group, but wanted to move it here for more involvement. The proposal on the table is to use own source hardware and software to hack together an autonomous weeding machine, maybe using AI to recognize weeds versus crop plants.
