Thanks for the suggestion!

Say more about shoulder harness? I think that’s what I’m looking for…

All of the interior will be visible - the purpose is to make a 2 dimensional frame for my face, so don’t even need the rest of the box if I can figure out how to suspend the frame

One year I went as a kelp forest, with helium balloons holding up the kelp. God Damn helium balloons are insulating!

“…police confiscated a crossbow, a BB gun and various documents among other items, they added.”

Am I a joke to you?

Red hot rebar headed downstream at 40mph - holy shit!

There is a steel mill (recycling plant) in my town. They give tours every Friday. I have been 3 times, twice with teams of (software) engineers.

If you want to go see what engineering means when lives are on the line, tour a steel mill. Fucking amazing.

The training program was 2x per week. For resistance training, they ran a set of machine based training, increasing resistance over time.

“3 sets of 10 repetitions as the main RT program on the following 6 weight-stack machines: leg curl, leg extension, arm curl, rowing, shoulder press, and chest press.”

As an old dude, over been wondering what I can do to made my skin tougher.

Cold fusion.

I just finished ‘Player of Games’ - Ian M. Banks. I liked it, it felt immersive.

Just started The Passenger by the late great Cormac McCarthy. I’m about a 3rd through, listening on audio book via Libby (read at 85% speed). It’s a little hard not to put it in the context of No Country and the border trilogy - Mr. M does seem to have a type. I’m pleased that many of McCarthy’s liberties with words seem to come through on audio, but I imagine I’m missing a lot. All in all I’m enjoying it. Next up my book club is reading All The Pretty Horses, so I’m in for the ride as it were. (Weirdly, there was a longer wait for his other work than The Passenger. I guess people are in the wait and see mode).

A friend recommended Midlife by Kieran Setiya. I have to say - it’s quite dense, and I feel like I’m not doing it justice. I’ll definitely keep going.

“Lost” seems a bit too much - how about unmanaged?

Hmm… I don’t know how to predict the impact on the U. S. Economy. Less capital in the market seems… Bad. But the sale of China owned assets to (U. S.) owners seems good?

Interesting - they sell not only repairable phones but OEM phones with the /e/ os (degoogled Android).

If I read it right: the government is paying for commercial (phone) location data. There are 3 issues:

• creepy: the government shouldn’t have this
• costly: they are buying it with our tax dollars
• comprehensive (?): They are getting everything (money can buy)?

If the government were to require this (like via a search warrant) rather than pay for it it would go through a mountain of legal oversight. It seems like the interpretation is: commercially available = publically available.

I guess what I would want to know next is: who gets access to this?
