In this month's composting newsletter: understanding the thermic phases, recording the sounds made by the bugs in the compost heap. Plus three songs about worms.
Making gender a selling point is always a weird vibe. You remember the TLC song No Scrubs? Did you know there was a clapback response song called No Pigeons?
It was put together by some out of touch producer who thought men would rally behind it. But in reality men on the whole weren’t really angry about the TLC song, and Sporty Thievz didn’t have much star power on their own. It hit #12 on the US Billboard Hot 100, got a bunch of radio play for a minute, and then they faded into obscurity entirely.
I get where you’re coming from, but making the slightest effort towards aesthetics when designing the apartment blocks doesn’t cost much comparatively. I think brutalist architecture has its place too, but I could definitely see how coming home to apartment #5722 on floor #12 of block 31 in a trite and looming concrete labyrinth isnt very appealing to a lot of people. Making homely and livable apartments costs only slightly more and would do wonders in getting people to accept them.
I’m not a fan of #12, as civil servants should be paid differently depending on factors other than simply whether or not they have a family. Also not a fan of #16 since it sounds to me like forced labour for the poor, but maybe I don’t understand what a “national workshop” is.
Otherwise I agree with at least the sentiment of all of these if not the way they’re worded. Obviously it could use a lot of updating for the modern era, but the basic premise is mostly fine.
My kids and I watched the first two episodes last night, and I’m impressed. It feels like Fallout. I like the characters so far, and they squeeze in enough game references to keep my brain spiking with recognition....
Thanks for that perspective. I know that all the references to game locations and items cause my brain to spike, but if you’ve never spent hours searching for Issue #12 of Grognak the Barbarian, you probably wouldn’t even notice or care when he pops up on the TV in the background.
I really hope that non-fans enjoy the series as it is, because nearly every video game to film adaptation has to bastardize the original idea to make it more palatable to the general public, and the result is usually disappointing to the fans, and mediocre to everyone else.
If Fallout can be this true to source, AND appeal to the general public, video game movies might stop being such a joke. We’re looking at you next, Borderlands, but I expect that will be less like Fallout and more like Street Fighter.
All of the adult fish that I caught this weekend were brook trout. They must be stocked because I've not seen them in this creek before. This is the stream that I got my new-to-me Tenkara Rod Company Kita, and it worked really well on this trip. I was fishing with size #12 and #14 unweighted wet flies.
@dsalo The one that sticks out the most to me on that list is #12. All the other ones feed into it, absolutely, but I think this is the first time in a very long time that I've heard someone admit up front that being bounced from crisis to crisis makes it extremely difficult to engage in any kind of long-term thinking and partnership building that the other 11 trends are specifically calling out as issues.
Wnes i gwrdd â phar o elyrch mawreddog yn Gloster Row, Aberteifi, ar y ffordd i’r gwaith bwyddiwrnod. Pan chi’n eu gweld nhw ma’s o’r dŵr mae’n rhyfeddol pa mor fawr ydyn nhw, a chi’n cofio bob un stori o’ch plentyndod ynglyn â pha mor beryglus maen nhw’n gallu bod: dof wrth eu henw, ond torrodd un goes brawd mawr Michael Williams wrth y llyn yn Ellesmere un tro, gofia!
Yr unig enw arall yn llyfr Iolo yw “Alarch Mud”, sef yr un peth â’r enw Saesneg.
Gwelon ni’r boi ‘ma wrth i ni gerdded at Gwmtydu ar lwybr yr arfordir. Doedd e ddim yn clochdar (rhy gynnar), ond yn edrych fel ei fod yn chwilio am le i nythu, efallai?
