According to the myth, Zeus saw and fell in love with a beautiful mortal youth by the name Ganymede. Ganymede was abducted by Zeus from Mount Ida near Troy in Phrygia. Ganymede had been tending sheep, a rustic or humble pursuit characteristic of a hero’s boyhood before his privileged status is revealed, when an eagle transported the youth to Mount Olympus. The bird is sometimes described as being under the command of Zeus and sometimes as being Zeus himself.

I have Hi2 heat pumps in a 100yo house with recently improved insulation, and it was just fine last year in -15F weather. No gas backup.

One family member has been talking to installers and they keep telling her that heat pumps can’t work reliably, it’s extremely frustrating.

OK so yay disability rights, but makes me wonder how $50M compares to government bailout for airlines.

Those stock agreements, similar to options, this week are worth about $260 million, or less than 1 percent of the $37 billion the U.S. government gave 10 major passenger airlines last year to help pay their workers, according to a Washington Post analysis of Treasury Department data. Subsequent agreements taxpayers received as airlines got another $13 billion this year are, as of now, useless, although their value would rise if stock prices climb.

From the Washington Post. So, not much in comparison.

Ugh, yep!

Though in this case I guess there’s the benefit of engraved numbers providing accessibility.

How are fire stations funded in Germany?

Seems cool!

Does it handle sharing a task list between people? Or syncing between multiple clients / handling concurrent edits?

I see the manual says keyboard commands are the main way to control it. Does it work in mobile?

Looks like you’re putting lots of work into it, thanks for sharing.

Norris Young, a passenger on the train, told NBC Philadelphia the train hit a “gigantic tree.” “There was a tree on the track, I don’t know if it fell on the track or if it was just laying on the track,” Young said.

So, train still on the track.

Do you know any climate tech companies with unions?

An interesting series: https://www.bobartlett.com/paintings-/heartland/view/4803671/0/4803673 . Not sure what I think the message is.

And then vote for Ranked Choice Voting (which may not be the ideal but is a paradigm shift improvement from First Past the Post).

Thanks, guess I got lucky!

Is there a self hosted OpenTelemetry consumer?

I think they can be a climate conscious choice and unaffordable. But getting better, and still a worthwhile step.

Unfortunately​ I don’t have anywhere to burn them, but maybe I’ll save some for camping trips.

Hah, thanks, I do think hand tools have a beauty to them.

Thanks! We compost and know folks with chickens, good suggestions.

Took me a minute to figure out how it works. So the angle of the jig is determined by the length the chisel extends through it. Neat.

Always checking for buttons. From JD Power:

Looks like climate and possible media volume have physical controls, so pretty good.

Thanks! I want to try some smaller / varying size fingers next.

Good caution. It doesn’t seem to shift and I tend to flip it pretty slowly, so hopefully it won’t put undue stress on the casting.
