Did you say "here's lookin' at you kid" at any point? Imo a necessity any time one meets a baby goat

Reminds me of the Jon Bois video about what would happen if he bought a mattress every time the mattress company that knew he'd just bought a mattress emailed to try to get him to buy another mattress

(e.g. Asimov stitching together the Foundation and Robot series, the messy late Heinlein World As Myth stuff, whatever was going on with The Dark Tower...)

My hat is off, they are so tiny and alert they're hard even to get good pics of at rest let along on the wing

I just watched this a month or two ago and am still tempted to watch it again right now, so enjoyable

Oh god

But no, now we get mad at kids for having had satnav all their lives when "we just knew how to get places" (I was there and no, we killed half a forest printing off mapquests and were often lost)

You know I recognize it was naïve but I somehow thought the speed of change in our lifetimes would to some degree inoculate our generation against the cyclical "kids today suck because they don't have the same inconveniences I had and have since internalized as vital character-building" thing

Still annoying, how hard is "here's how to make one of the thing you want, if you want n make n times as much?"

And often refuse to update it even when presented with the evidence

A whole "effect" that just boils down to people have a narrative of memory that does not really match how memory actually works

DO NOT let your camera bonk its little butt! Its little butt is a FRAGILE, PRECISION PIECE OF MACHINERY!

Also it's still such a problem that (in the US) cycling continues to so often be looked at as primarily a sport/recreation thing, so glad there seems to finally be a little more of a shift towards considering transportation cycling in infrastructure etc but there's still such a long ways to go

Hah jinx
