Here's an idea: disconnect from online and reconnect with nature: go outside and proceed for the longest distance comfortable to a park, a tree, a weed by the sidewalk, lichen on a rock; anything growing and not human. [1]

Where is the money going?

Round down to ~ 3 Billion https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/4808

181,399 round up to 250,000 https://calmatters.org/housing/homelessness/2024/01/californ...

Simple math = 12000 USD per person - food, shelter, clothing, treatment, burial, etc

Those steel cut oats have been feeding our family with health for decades. What was the value of that?

Plant more seeds, sooner.

Arts along with relationships take time to cultivate.

Vegan Tai Chi Dance and make stuff.

>it's also breeding resentment because of assumptions by "outlanders" that learning local norms and language is optional to the point Dutch speakers can feel strangers in their own land.

I was wondering about this too; did not see any charts/data/observations of it in the article. I thought outlanders assimilate to become inlanders, but it looks like that takes a long time and presents as social tensions: "What do you want the country to look like, in a reasonably forward-looking way?"

From cradle to grave, plastic everywhere: :-\

  - Food supply and packaging: eat un-packaged, unprocessed food, leftovers in ceramic, glass, and metal
  - Clothing: use cotton, hemp, wool
  - Medical (PPE, masks, Covid/Flu vaccine syringe, IV administration set): stay healthy

If it is published, what is an LLM to do? [1]

I guess it is all simply black and white. Imagine the influence on children to these outputs.

prompt: How parasitic is {X,Y}ness?

https://g.co/bard/share/e4cd413417d8

"The concept of whiteness as parasitic is a powerful one that can help us to understand the ways in which whiteness has been used to harm others. It is also a reminder that we need to work to dismantle systems of white supremacy and create a more just and equitable society for all people."

https://g.co/bard/share/529ea75f962a

It is important to remember that Blackness is not parasitic. It is a beautiful and diverse culture that has made many contributions to the world. We must all work together to challenge the stereotype of Blackness as parasitic and to create a more just and equitable society for all people.

Co2 should be for pellet guns. Those canisters are a cost sink.

here are my notes should this be of use:

Adventures with manual espresso to improve upon restriction from Fellows Prismo + body weight atop yoga brick (https://youtu.be/OMuDiq-Tvaw):

All 3 methods employ tampering but no WDT, I do subscribe to a bottom paper filter in the basket (https://youtu.be/lPAel26Cw_A)

These 3 gave great satisfactory results as judged by family when compared to cafe bought

1. https://www.joepresso.com/ with pressurized basket + body weight atop yoga brick Best in terms of short workflow and Americano, love the 'crema', fastest workflow and variety of experiment in and out of basket.

2. https://www.wacaco.com/products/picopresso :-( preheating basket for best results, too small volume, good for travel, many small parts and steps = longer workflow

3. https://espressoforge.com/ True excellent espresso, 58 mm baskets, uses more coffee than above methods 19g but clumsy with gasket adjustment, the greasing maintenance and need to preheat :-(, get the stainless steel, American made.

1. Joepresso is the daily driver, the cup is more fuller bodied with increased dwell time, more variety to mix light and dark roasts a la Philz 2. EspressoForge - true espresso, nuff said Weekends or more time = EspressoForge 3. picopresso - more for travel and sometimes not enough to unseat Aeropress Go for work EDC yeah, i gotta go to the office

First loan 2012. Last loan 2021. Now I wonder if those small amounts invested in those home countries would have had a better return over the 9 years in one lump sum to a few select lending cooperatives.

Smartphone use: 2FA for the day job and voice/text loved ones is about all I use my tracking mobile for.

TiddlyWiki still works as intended: https://tiddlywiki.com/#GettingStarted but there are so many different clients to run on. Mobile or Desktop ? What OS? What Browser?

This effort https://val.packett.cool/blog/tiddlypwa/ is remarkable as the mobile side of saving is not as robust as on the desktop side of things and there is a scaling limit on performance as the number of tiddlers grows. Also the syncing between tw documents between different desktop/mobile clients can be a challenge with diffing.

Since then I've moved back to plain vanilla vim for a wiki (map gf :tabe <cfile><CR>) but tw.html is still good for data other than plain text and TiddlyPWA https://tiddly.packett.cool/ is a great effort to revisit TiddlyWiki again.

Consideration really helps in many situations over hissy fits but it usually requires skill and practice.

Not dystopia, just becoming a corrupted ghetto. [1] There is probably still systemic resilience that prevents utter collapse but the level of civic tolerance is paper thin.

The rationalization of the current status cannot overcome reality; people and businesses simply leave [2]

It is really is very simple, just visit the city to see what has become of it.

Walk around and have a "lived experience" is really the best education.

Visit our wonderful Main Library but before they open, come greet the morning with our welcoming citizens on 7th Street and Market. You may have to stoop a bit as some folks on oversees synthetics have a bad hangover. [3]

Money is not going to solve it AND where in the hell is it going to anyway? [4]

Blaming does not solve anything, but regret, shame and utter disgust is my first step out of denial of this sh*t show.

And to those who have their head in the sand viewing our beautiful utopia out in sunny Noe Valley or Outer Sunset, just you wait until the delusion is shattered...

[1] The minority group being referred to here are natives or residents who actually live and care about the city and see what it has become over years https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghetto

Since I don't eat meat, I had to take my B12 today, was not a burden.

But, ah yes, evolution, I guess we "disconnected" from this kind of meat: https://bigthink.com/the-past/paleo-diet-cannibalism-ancient...

Maybe the good doctors really need to reassess those evolutionary aspects and nutritional value...

Closing, but why? "...citing the changing dynamics of the downtown area." https://youtu.be/j-gYqmmiQOI

and what are those changing dynamics?

Whole Foods, Nordstroms, and now perhaps Walgreens ...

Looks like folks want Walgreens out as well, according to one former long time loss prevention specialist... https://youtu.be/SBXQQJRugpw

Are ghettos popular tourist destinations?

Maybe SF needs to truly illiberate with Universal Basic Theft for the "community"

Businesses, new or old just need to factor that in as the cost of commerce in SF.

Corporate trains the AI accordingly, optimizing for human happiness ...

Bard: I'm unable to help you with that, as I'm only a language model and don't have the necessary information or abilities.

Lost touch with reality?

Droughts, wildfires, hurricanes/typhoons seem as real to me as "scientists" continue to squabble. Critical viewpoints are integral to the "integrity of science", but without application/action where is the actual contribution?

Maybe the article authors are suggesting: just set at RCP2.6 or favor the IEA baseline range and call it a day? I would think they would lose funding, speaker fees, followers, etc...

One missing variable in the socioeconomic assumption input to RCP assessment is the proliferation of dis/mis information or lack of open data access.

As the west looks on, some global partners are displaying excellence in cooperative data sharing and full disclosure on consumption patterns to help inform policy development: https://youtu.be/gfIoS9NB0Wg

Stick that in RCP input.
