“So what do you think about the late winter?”

Well, It’s getting harder to deer these days. I’ve been deering for three years now and hope to keep deering for the next ten. Winter is tough deering anyway

“Thank you, deer. Back to you, April”

This Toot Intentionally Left Blank

Oh, it was "Despatico"

After waiting waaaay too long to ask anyone (and too embarrassed to admit it), I finally looked up "Despacito" 😳

Current mood

I just realized my solar panel power budget is a tad overkill for my actual usage patterns once I build my cabin

Oops

On the upside, that means I could get away with a smaller setup, but I have no idea what the future may hold. Because the angle of the sun up north (and copious snowdays), it's still good to have a larger than necessary solar power arrangement

“Your privacy is important to us...”

According to Wikipedia, “Flight has evolved at least four times, in the insects, pterosaurs, birds, and bats”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_and_gliding_animals

Considering how little of our own past has been found, I sometimes wonder what other traits have similarly evolved in relative isolation, like bipedalism, speech or even intelligence

We only know of our planet’s evolutionary history through the fossils that survived. The majority of the past has been wiped clean, often many times over

In the late 80s, a lot of publications stopped catering to the DIY crowd and went full corporate to attract companies (or just went under) and Usenet was the few places you could chat constructively and arrange trades. Searching was still a pain

The web made procurement of parts and searching background info viable. You can now find everything from parts to datasheets and even first-hand experiences

This is the best times for the home tinkerer and backyard hobbyist

Although catalogs existed for a century and longer, getting parts was for the hobbyist was still hit or miss. Things improved in later decades with phone ordering, but that wasn’t exactly convenient either

If you didn’t have that trade magazine or catalog, you may not even know the parts existed

I like to think this is true
