As I stood in the museum admiring this old dress, I could hear a ghostly voice faintly whispering to me from the past.
"It has pockets!"
Not sure if folks are aware but India has stopped exporting rice to other countries and other asian countries are following suit. Basmati and Sona Masoori rice is really hard to find now.
For asians, not having rice is something unfathomable. Our cultures depend on it. There is no bigger wake up call than seeing rice being restricted thanks to climate change.
A Texas jury has found that feeding the homeless is not a crime.
I have closed Twitter and deleted the app from my phone. Now I need recommendations on who to follow here. I am interested in #climate, #energy, #airquality, #sustainabledevelopment
DHCP is a sort of magic, isn't it, done properly?
I just replaced my home router. It has a busy setup w/ various VLANs/subnets and DHCP pools, some NAT some not.
New router did *not* carry the "state" of the old. But config was moved.
* Devices that knew their existing IP and hadn't lease-expired carried on working.
* When leases expired those devices re-requested their old IPs, and were reissued by the new router.
* Everything still worked.
We should base international diplomacy on DHCP.
#Climate-friendly #airconditioning inspired by #termites
Termite mounds have a sophisticated ventilation system that enables air circulation throughout the structure. This helps to maintain and regulate temperature and humidity. The research, published in the journal Frontiers in Materials, show a structure for buildings based on termite mounds that facilitates indoor climate control. https://phys.org/news/2023-07-climate-friendly-air-conditioning-termites.html

Dziękuję bardzo Bartłomiejowi Kupcowi za postawienie mi parę miesięcy temu świetnego obiadu. Miałem akurat dosyć podły i ciężki czas w życiu i ten obiad to było coś fajnego, co pomogło mi przetrwać. Warto a wręcz trzeba dokarmiać osoby w potrzebie, pamiętajmy o tym. #pomocwzajemna #głód #jedzenie #krakow #franekvetulani #bartłomiejkupiec
Someone trying to tempt me back to Twitter with this screenshot, saying “come on, won’t it be fun to respond to this?” Their idea of fun may differ from mine.
Lots of people have made fun of my mental illness and openness about it, most often on Twitter. But I’m okay. So far I haven’t looked at one of them and said “wow they seem really happy and successful, I wish I had their life.”

Geologist Marie Tharp was born #OTD in 1920.
She built the first accurate map of the Atlantic Ocean floor, discovering the Mid-Atlantic Ridge that provided evidence for seafloor spreading and plate tectonics.

These are just a few painful examples. If a Native community claims its children and grandchildren, it’s not the business of non-Natives to question that.
Being white-passing is a luxury in the sense that white-passing Natives can blend in, and aren’t mistreated as badly as their dark skinned relatives.
But when you see someone mocking a Native person for looking white, just remember they’re actually REINFORCING racist imperialism.
