We launch an absolutely insane amount of stuff into space now, mostly thanks to SpaceX. And that’s awesome.

Degrowthers and anyone like them can go straight to hell.

Nika Prevc world record ski jump.

Nika is very sleek-a.

Pretty wild for a brother and sister to hold a world record at the same time. That looks like so much fun but I’d so die if I attempted something like that.

Find you a girl who leads a commando raid and kills six motherfuckers to rescue you.

A girl practices a 4.5m/14.7ft lache on the bar.

Oh what the fuck.

My arms would detach and geysers of blood would spout from the stumps. I mean, she must weigh about 80 pounds; she’s a skinny little thing. Doesn’t make it any less impressive, though. Still takes incredible coordination and grip strength.

I have a friend in the UK who worked for several years on some sort of restaurant boat tourist trap in Australia. Her boss was horrible and petty and shorted everyone’s pay as well as not contributing properly into the Australian national retirement plan (Superannuation).

She has been now in a decade-plus-long crusade to make this person pay and to harm him in any way possible and I kind of love her for this. She constantly files complaints (actually has it in her calendar) with the Australian government, leaves a steady stream of bad reviews for his businesses, and interferes with him using any legal method.

One time he contacted her to stop her “harassing” him. She said, “Pay up and it’ll stop” but of course he did not so she kept at it. Unfortunately, the Australian government is toothless and he’s connected, so nothing much has happened on that end. But she estimates she has cost him something like $200,000¹ in lost business and $50,000 in lawyer’s fees. All for what she thinks would’ve been about $10,000 in stolen wages and Superannuation contributions.

Do not mess with this lady.

1. Primarily by reporting a safety issue on one of his boats that stopped it sailing.

Samo beating the “New Minds” drum I’ve been going on about for many years.

We’re both right.

Sweet. The right decision. No reason to shoot yourself in the face like Germany did.

Even in dismal months like this one where there is not that much sun compared to summer, due to our solar panels we only spend about $3 a day on electricity as long as the weather is mild.

And that’s pretty awesome.

Unusual to see someone change their mind given better evidence. That is incredibly rare. I applaud this dude, not just because he agrees with me but because that is something that very few humans ever do.
