I'll take the old guy who wants to bring back trains over the old guy who wants to bring back coal any day.

Up and at 'em, people! These bejeezuses aren't going to scare themselves out of everyone!

Here's a #monsterdonalert for this side of the #fediverse. We will be watching

Mothra (1961). Available by torrent if you want to save archive.org's bandwidth.

I was able to get the early version of Cascadia 9.2 to run in WebGL on a Chromebook through a combination of:

Limiting the quality to Fastest
Setting the framerate to 30
Changing code optimization to Runtime Speed

Do I need all three of these improvements? Will this scale up when I add much more complicated models to the levels? I don't know, but at least there's hope.

Also, to generate buzz on Mastodon, I would name my potato chips Ruffles and everyone would too--why are these Frito-Lay lawyers parachuting into my yard?

I would simply name my sportsball team the Truffles and everyone would root for them.

Good news, the Federal Railroad Administration announced grants for further study of #Cascadia #HighSpeedRail, and for improvements to the existing #AmtrakCascades service.

Don't listen to the haters who say it's an either/or proposition. We need both short-term improvements to Amtrak Cascades, *AND* long-term planning for High Speed Rail.

We need both. We can have both. The climate crisis demands we do both!

Us: Okay, how about tomorrow?

Kaiser: *blows dust off leather-bound appointment book* I've got one in two weeks.

This is a big deal:
