A friend works for Otis elevators. I asked him for the biggest mistake builders make in creating these super structures. He said builders don't wait long enough for elevator shafts to cure.

He said it can take two years for an elevator shaft to cure, but they wait half the time and then budget fixing their elevator problems for the life of the building.

The image is the new criminal justice center being built in our city. Those five elevator shafts have been curing for almost two years.

This website provides the full back archive of BYTE magazine, all 23 years of it from 1975 to to 1998. It's a treasure trove of vintage tech and nostalgia, not even Archive.org carries all the issues.

The site actually focuses on old Apple magazines, but has also PC magazines and other resources on the history of microcomputing.

This week, a bailiff stopped me and acted as though I was in the wrong place as I walked through a portion of the courthouse that is restricted to attorneys and judges.

I'm an attorney. I was wearing a suit and conducting myself just like every other attorney in that area.

This is not the first time that has happened. I can think of several other instances in various counties where courthouse security has assumed that my black skin means I must not be an attorney.

I'm tired of it.

The true difference between fountain pen and any of the ball/capillary action inventions is CONTROL.

Counter-intuitive, but even as fountain pen drips and spits and grinds to dry, you're so much in control of your lines. And modernised pens manufacture a line that's thick and dumb and sort of sleepy.

The best explanation of this joy of good pen I've seen in Hero:

Just last night I watched this recent PBS Space Time video on the various Moon-formation theories, including a new variation on the Theia model revealed via computer modeling:

Ducking adorable 🥰

cop: how’d the pizza go missing?
him: it was the cat
cop: there was no cat
him: someone broke in
cop: the doors were locked
him: it wasn’t me
cop: there's cheese on your nose
him: i want a lawyer

Good Morning 🥰💜
What are you doing there? 👀

Interesting graph shared by Caitlin Johnstone showing that hourly pay for workers [adjusted for inflation] basically flatlined after the early 1970s, while productivity continued to climb.

Her comment: "The dark blue line after 1973 is theft. They stole that money from their workers. But nothing happened, because capitalism legalizes theft from the working class by the capitalist class."

Too true!
