Ihan kokonaan en voi lopettaa pääkirjoitusten lukemista. Tässä olisi kielellis-tyyliillisesti yhtä ja toista purettavaa, mutta ehkä nautin rimanalituksen vaihteeksi hiljaisuudessa, raakana.

Scientists: how do these guys even breed?
”Nautilus male has a reproductive organ named Van der Hoeven's organ. Nautilus female has two reproductive organs whose functions are unknown, the Organ of Valenciennes and Owen's laminated organ.”

Also their eyes are like pinhole cameras. Nautilidae are strange

More weird:
”The nautilus has the extremely rare ability to withstand being brought to the surface from its deep natural habitat without suffering any apparent damage from the experience. Whereas fish or crustaceans brought up from such depths inevitably arrive dead, a nautilus will be unfazed despite the pressure change of as much as 80 standard atmospheres (1,200 psi). The exact reasons for this ability, which is thought to be coincidental rather than specifically functional, are not known…”

Reading ”Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas” renewed my original craving for breadfruit. I do remember tasting it in Central America in 2013 and that it didn’t live up to the hype in the book, but nevertheless.
Can you even get it in Finland?

Helsinki, the 23rd of April 2024.
All tram services cancelled due to freezing rain followed by snowfall.

Attributing this particular event to climate change is probably uncertain, but at these latitudes this is what climate change looks like.

Sähköautoilun pitsaus sillä että se on hiljaista, on kyllä ihan bullshittiä, kun rengasmelu alkaa kolmestakympistä lähtien jo peittämään kaikki moottoriäänet. Sanonpahan vaan.

@henrik Pienissä halpisautoissa silleen isompi etu että jopa kuulee radion moottoritielläkin, mutta joo. Kaupunkiliikenteessä voi havainnoida 50km/h väylän vieressä seisomalla että erottaako sähköautot ohittavista.

Positiivinen puoli tässä on toki se, että meluperuste laskea nopeusrajoituksia pysyy!

@henrik Niin raskaat ajoneuvot kans vähän eri juttu. Esim busseissa ero mökässä on ihan tuntuva sähköisten eduksi.

jhilden, to technology
@jhilden@vis.social avatar

An interesting thing about Jules Verne’s ”Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas”. He really followed contemporary tech and projected from it:

The book features the then freshly invented Rouquayrol-Denayrouze regulator apparatus, the first to be mass-produced (1865–1965). Nemo takes his ”guests” out for undersea excursions wearing air tanks, but in reality 19th C. technology did not allow for tanks like that. Practical scuba gear took some 80 years to become reality!

jhilden,

Also what struck me as pretty amusing is that Verne pokes fun at his previous work by having his cantankerous harpooner Ned Land say, that believing in a giant whale is as preposterous as travels to the center of the Earth or people being whisked away on a comet.

"the average modern American, by one estimate, travels 7,500 miles a year, and put in 1,600 hours a year to do that, they are travelling five miles per hour."

Now if we could all learn to see the hidden potential of pushing one lane of cars off the road.

@enobacon @alemppu Tempted to share this with the anti-bike path people in the neighbourhood group who go on about how cycling is a niche thing and cars are necessary with ”our demography” and ”our climate”

jhilden,
@jhilden@vis.social avatar

@enobacon @alemppu Yep. If that mindset were to be cracked, more people might realize that bicycle infra benefit elderly and disabled as well, that use mobility assist devices or e-trikes. Now it is seen as a luxury for obnoxious Lycra-wearing street racers.

@jhilden@vis.social avatar

Just finished the Dune trilogy. I read somewhere that ”Children of Dune” is considered a slog, but I found it quite entertaining, after an arguably slow start. The books hold up surprisingly well, considering how problematic a character Herbert was!

Also interesting to note how much Hayao Miyazaki paraphrased Dune in the Nausicaä manga.

@jhilden@vis.social avatar

@personamatters I have the trilogy, I had left it maybe one third in, then returned to it after the second film and found it somehow picked up pace.

Concerning Herbert being problematic, this somewhat breathtaking mini biography should give you an idea as to why I would say that 😅. https://www.historylink.org/File/21248
