One book that really changed my life was "Feeling Good" by David Burns. It kinda popularize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. But the book wasn't an overnight success. It languished for years as his publisher refused to put any m

Well, there goes my weekend. Happy to see the Hypercard love is still out there. I think about it a lot. I love the idea of a coffee shop or a bicycle shop that's run on a Hypercard stack on an old Mac. In case you've never seen i

Except it’s not, and the fact that it arose in Wuhan made the director of the lab herself incredibly concerned: “Shi was surprised that the outbreak was local, she said: “I had never expected this kind of thing to happen in Wuhan, in centra

Just this morning I was reading this paper [1] which is looking at the effects of the spike protein alone on pulmonary function - it’s a pretty straightforward read once you get beyond the acronyms: https://www.mdpi.com/2076

Great question! I haven’t sharpened it yet, but it’s made from reclaimed agricultural discs which are known to take a beating.

I shared this in another thread yesterday, but appropriate here — this is my favorite all-around tool: https://www.forestry-suppliers.com/product_pages/products.ph... It’s a trail tool, but serves many purposes — from

That’s very cool. Still working on farm space projects?

I’m not a botanist but my understanding is that the root balls hold a ton of energy and the plant can just keep sending out shoots, and spread underground for fairly long distances. So, eventually that energy source will run out, but they’r

For areas I manage / garden by hand, I can not say enough good things about this trail tool: https://www.forestry-suppliers.com/product_pages/products.ph... I use it for everything , from digging up plants, to le

It depends on the weed. Overall you’re going to put pressure on it. With conventional fields like the ones pictured in this article, there’s often no ground cover. If you have a ground cover (say, clover) and you’re defoliating the weeds al

Over time we’re establishing native fescues which don’t get super tall. As well as native wildflowers. All beneficial for the insects. Once established, mowing becomes less frequent. But we’re talking about 20 acre areas, so yea it’s a lot

Tractors break, sure, but steel implements have been doing a pretty good job of handling rocky soil for a very long time. Fixing a blue steel corkscrew seems easier than debugging a laser.

We have an upland prairie which is a vanishing ecosystem which we are conserving. It’s fairly steep. We don’t have sheep but maybe someday we’ll get some. Until then, mowing is a way to keep it healthy and free of invasive plants.

Love seeing advances in this space. I have an 80 acre farm and I’m waiting for an autonomous slope mower. Question about this tech is, does it really kill weeds, or just defoliate them? Like, is this laser strong enough to get down to the

GPU equivalent: putting stuff into vertex buffers so you can inspect the buffer and see if the expected values are there.

Safari’s ‘reader view’ comprehends the page quite well though and makes the text very comfortable.

Oh my god, your professor’s site is amazing - those torches! There’s definitely something to be said about focusing on the goal of a site and knowing when a fancier presentation is actually necessary.

I take a lot of photos and videos and I actually opted for a camera that’s mostly 1080p this year. Why? Because at this point barely anyone is actually using 4K to view content. And the bandwidth and processor power add a lot to the cost. I

I’ve been one of those tourists — Sedona is a magical place. Also, the alpine stretch as you drive out towards the north has always stuck with me as one of the most incredible areas of the planet I’ve been to.

There’s an article in the NYTimes today on the environmental impact of NFTs and I personally find the whole thing deeply upsetting. I care a lot about the climate. It’s maybe my number one concern long-term, especially as my kids are concer

The online argument about this is raging about whether this is a stupid decision and I’d like to side step that well-trodden path of vitriol to ask more broadly: what’s the deal with Covid and blood clotting? I know personally a long hauler

This sucks. Timber has been a huge part of Oregon's DNA for some time now, and a lot of the old-time loggers here are basically environmentalists (though they would prefer it if you didn't call them that.) And what I mean is, they

Well, because it would be the biggest industrial accident since Chernobyl. It would be like not caring which oil rig exploded off the Gulf, spilling untold barrels of crude — not caring about what parts failed, and why.

As tinkerers, the personal website is seductive. And that’s fine if you’re mindful of it, or you’re just starting out. But at a certain point it’s a good idea to be clear on what problem you’re trying to solve. And be wary of solving a prob

Back in 2000 I went to the Edinburgh film festival. There was buzz about a film called “Battle Royale”. None of us had any clue what to expect. But one of things I remember to this day about the experience was they served the audience Red B

The term is “medical gaslighting” and seems to disproportionately affect women. It comes up with things like ‘chronic fatigue’ diagnosis and has to do with women’s symptoms and experiences being dismissed.

Maybe he gets to this — I stopped watching — but while this is totally true, the unfortunate side effect is no one plants things like apples and avocados because they’ve heard this before. On our farm there are a bunch of wild apple trees t
