@TechConnectify@mas.to Do a retrospective on attic fans (I think people call these “whole house” fans these days). These were super common in the South in 1950–70s construction: https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/cooling-whole-house-fan I haven’t seen one of these in decades.

@grimalkina I used to work for N.S.F.-funded applied research institute (it would pull in some of the best mathematicians from around the world to work on bi-annual symposia). I recently tried to get in contact with a friend there, and the e-mail bounced. Curious to see if I could get in contact with someone there, I went to the web page. No more; the institute was shuttered in entirety. It's amazing how much the country has just pissed away all because of hating experts and expertise.

@jwz@mastodon.social … and yet the milquetoast elected officials from the Minnesota DFL (Democrats) remain mum after everything that has happened. So fucking incomprehensible, yet not surprising.

Western Hungary has been thoroughly charming.

I can't overstate how nice it is to visit somewhere off the beaten path when it comes to the major school holidays in DACH.

There is something deeply unsettling about Corporate Memphis as a visual language.

It’s the kind of language that we all know would be used in Soylent Green’s literature on thanatoria of the film were made today due to its euphemistic conveyance of violence.

To wit, look at how the effective generative AI is at producing these specimens:

@martinvermeer@fediscience.org Trust me when I say this: there are a lot of folks who do not know better (namely those who have never lived in such a climate or those who are not meteorologically inclined) and assume the clear skies indicate that it would have a semblance of warmth. All I can say from having lived there: seeing a photo of weather conditions like this and that the photo was taken in January gives me a deep feeling of dread — even at 7200 km distance.

@dneary @robincafolla I wouldn't trust Minneapolis' police force (MPD) with this task for a second. They frightened the fuck out of me (a white man) decades before they murdered Floyd, and they became worse. Depressingly, I think only a tiny fraction of MPD even lives in the city but rather openly reactionary exurbs (of choice). Maybe I'd give way to the Minnesota State B.C.A., but this is probably not in their blood (legacy of milquetoast politics).

The SEM report from Nov. 2025 in this is fascinating:

Wenn der Weg zum roten Pass zu beschwerlich ist

Manche verzichten aus Stolz, anderen fehlt das Geld, sie leben am «falschen» Ort: Schweizer werden kann schwierig sein.

And it appears things are going to reignite very badly: Ca. seven ICE agents beat down a man onto the ground, pistol whipped him, held him down, and shot him several times.

@mrpjevans@mastodon.social @cstross@wandering.shop Nearly universal accessors for keyboard operation that were carried into Windows 9X and NT for a few years are not to be dismissed. Also: good contrast on the UI elements.

@jtwcornell91 @dneary @robincafolla Not that I am aware of. Derek Chauvin (Floyd's murderer) lived in Oakdale, which is not only not neither in Minneapolis but two counties removed from his jurisdiction. Someone from my high school became a police officer himself (not a friend), and his wife confided their living outside of Coon Rapids, which is — falling into the same category I mentioned — is also yet another county removed. This kind of thing is a trope among locals …

This was a good trip.

I am going to miss the pickled delights from Hungary. This part of the flavor palette is primally appealing. Maybe one of the most notable memories food-wise will be the tökmagolajos savanyú káposzta.

Zala County is endowed with rustic nature. My chief memories will be canoeing on Kis-Balaton and exploring the bluffs.

There is something rather triggering about seeing firms that offer subscription bundles under a brand monicker of “One.”

My brain can’t stop replacing: “one” with “rent-seeking one stop.”

Also: damn — did these firms just copy one another’s vibes here with this name convention.

The “gotcha!” level of cynicism in American discourse that writes off good policy with good intentions:

1. as being bad for having (any) unintended bad consequences

2. as being bad due to being supposedly an instance of regulatory capture in the vested interests of another party

is going to prevent any material recovery over any span of time. (Commentary on the story arch of the locale and its people spanning back to my adolescence. Too fucking cynical to survive.)

@BrentToderian@mastodon.online Reduced road noise and enhanced safety for young (and I do mean young) children walking to school are super material benefits. I live next to some 30 km/h zones and am so appreciative of them.
