lemons are great for this. You don't need all of it, just the skin. press the lemon and enjoy the juice, put the skins on the glass rack and you'll have a fresh lemon flavor when opening the door. needs replacing every other wash or so (they get hard and stop smelling)

 

love that 'make up a bullshit article about anything' LLM "encyclopedia", it's a wonderfully useful creation with many real world applications

Finished watching this earlier, great video. I really like this newer wave of more collaborative content with so many voices in conversation.

Am I getting this right, they're letting you do the ad targeting for them and they're selling it as a privacy feature? michael-laugh

and its discontents

It's a riff on Freud's Civilization and Its Discontents. You can check the overview, the ideas will probably seem pretty familiar because they were so influential at the time.

You could probably classify all of the guys on the podcast as discontents of Solarpunk, in that they are somewhat critical of it as a genre, as an aesthetic and as a movement towards revolutionary change. In a lot of ways, because Solarpunk often reifies those modernist conceptions of Civilization, while painting them green.

Forced empathization treatment for class war mongers:

You will experience a day in the shoes of a landlord until you display considerable empathy to the propertied class, brutish scum

Now put on the glasses and pay your rent

Yea, and also, like - the human eye is incredibly good at noticing any deviation from perfectly flat, especially if you're talking about a semi-reflective bare-metal surface. Any little imperfection will immediately draw your eye because light bounces off it weird. There's a reason every car manufacturer ever only evokes the sense of flatness, but usually incorporates some more complex bends, light lines, stuff that both serves stability functions, helps when the panel will inevitably contract or extend due to thermal differences annnnd makes you not see little imperfections in the geometry as easily.

Flat panels are the easiest to model and render

they gotta be the easiest to manufacture too, right?

Listen, maybe I just want every single part of my car to be a slightly differently oriented fun-house mirror, ok

The invasive species is one concept among many inculcated by capitalist ideology, sublimating our intertwined social and ecological crises, transforming them into problems amenable to various kinds of security regimes. From border walls to fish dams, from militarized police departments to invasive species eradication campaigns, the capitalist state can only do so much to tamp down the mounting symptoms of an economic order at war with the planet’s ecology, and therefore its own survival. Consigned to leaving the roots untouched—that is, to ensure the reproduction of capitalism at all costs—the masters of humankind are vigorously pruning the branches that support their own weight.
