While your sentiment is in the right place, trees are not a one size fits all solution. There’s a variety of ecosystems on this planet, and not all are densely packed forest. Instead of everybody just planting a tree, it’s important to think about what kind of tree and if a tree would be beneficial at all. Sometimes planting a native grass would be a lot more beneficial in a specific context.

One other thing is that the places where pine beetles are the most destructive are monocrop pine forests. If you have diversity in your forests, it makes them more resillent to this kind of thing.

It should be every human’s role to learn about how their local ecosystem works and how to exist within it in a reciprocal way.

THANK YOU FOR THE SICK WIZARD PICTURES MY FRIEND

Just wash the pillowcases and not the sheets

They also allow ICE to recruitment ads on their platform.

Amazon web services. They are one of the biggest providers for hosting things. A lot of the internet infrastructure uses aws.

I hate to break it to you but in many parts of the rural US, Walmart is the only option to buy things. They have monopolized and killed small grocers, mechanics, and pharmacies. Walmart is the only place within a reasonable distance that I can get my (lifesaving) medication for a cost that I can afford. I hate doing it but there is literally no other option for me.

It makes a whole lot of sense the other way around. Script writers speak like Americans.

You’re absolutely right. We need to have many different options for many different people.

As some one who was also raised religious, I relate to this hard. Sex feels really scary, but at the same time it’s something I’m really curious about. Any tips for dealing with that feeling?

Whimsical article

Woah, thank you for this. I’ve wanted to learn more about torrenting and how music files work anyway so actually sitting down and needing to study for this is a big plus.

I knew I regonized that structure. Read the caption you put and yep, I’ve been there. Absolutely awe inspiring piece of architecture.

After looking more closely, some of them do look AI generated. I still think the idea of the images is nice but it is annoying to see how it messes up the details.

Potash…potash is forever. I can never escape my dark past.

More Frutiger Aero photos because I can’t stop thinking about how beautiful it is:

One thing about it is that it ain’t the most homely of aesthetics and architectures. It’s almost always in the context of a workplace, airport, shopping center, etc. In an ideal world I’d live in a mid century modern house and work in a frutiger aero workplace.

Edit: just found this really cool website https://frutigeraeroarchive.org/

Yeah, one thing that I’m not a fan of with some of the pictures that I selected is all the white. I like it better when there’s other colors and white is just the accent.

Frutiger Aero. This is what the future should have looked like. It’s a beautiful balance between nature and technology. I love the glossy, transpartent, rounded nature of it all. The colors are bright and fresh but relaxing at the same time.

I’m also a big fan of mid century modern. It does a good job at incorporating a natural look. On the outside, the buildings are usually low profile and blend into the landscape well. On the inside, there’s a lot of nice, quality natural materials like wood and stone that are used throughout.

I’m curious, what about it makes it for tech people who like music?

That looks really cool, but is too high for my price range unfortunately. I usually get nice things used (and reduced price) but this is too new to do that.
