   Listening to Nightwish, "Elvenpath"

   US Americans have their right to bear arms, Finns have their "howling of a night wolf and the path under my bear feet".

   (yes, it's "bare feet" in the official lyrics)

   Kid holds an eloquent, well-argued and principled defense to his schoolmates explaining why he won't play the games on Roblox that incorporate "AI slop". They don't accept it and when the most annoyed and annoying guy runs out of half-baked and fallacious arguments he switches to insults.

   Kid doesn't let it get to him. He logs off and goes to prepare for bed instead.

   I taught him none of this. Not actively anyway.

     Ich sortiere auch immer meine Fruchtgummis, Lakritze und Co., bevor ich sie esse. Gummibären werden dabei z.B. nach Farbe sortiert.

     Bei mir besteht der Verdacht, dass ich im oder in der Nähe des Spektrums bin. Mir haben das schon viele Leute ins Gesicht gesagt, die selber im Spektrum sind und ich stelle an mir immer wieder entsprechende Verhaltensweisen fest.

     Der Geschmack ist mir beim Sortieren tatsächlich egal, aber es muss sortiert sein, damit ich es gleichmäßig konsumiere.

   Herbert Grönemeyer mag den VfL Bochum. Seine Liebe zum Verein geht so weit, dass er Ärmelsponsor auf dem Pokaltrikot wird. Das Trikot gibt es nur limitiert und ein Teil des Erlöses geht an die Bochumer Tafel und Bochumer Suppenküche.

   Sommetimes, to do archaeology, you have to do archaeology on the archaeologists!

   [ . . . ] Frank Huffman, from the University of Texas at Austin, had tracked down the descendants of the Dutch researchers who excavated the Homo erectus remains back in the 1930s.

   [ . . . ]

   "He was able to tell us exactly where to dig," [Prof Russell Ciochon of the University of Iowa] said of [Huffman].

     The story that revealed this metastory is fascinating in itself:

     Homo Erectus is observed to have disappeared from Africa around 500 ky ago, from China around 400 ky ago, but in Indonesia on Java, they seem to have been around until around 100 ky, perhaps even later. Sapiens didn't arrive on Java until around 50 ky ago, so there was nobody around to push them out.

     I guess to be accurate, if you're studying the bones of erectus rather than sapiens, you're in paleontology rather than archaeology. But archeology archaeology sounds more fun than paleontology archaeology.

   #Trump und #Musk sind gefährlich naiv:
   

   Musk: „Hiroshima und Nagasaki wurden bombardiert, aber jetzt sind sie wieder lebendige Städte.“
   Trump: „ Das ist toll.“
   Musk: „Ja, es ist also nicht so beängstigend, wie die Leute denken.“

   
   Musk told Trump that Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings "not as scary as people think." Trump: "That's great." - Boing Boing boingboing.net/2024/08/13/musk…

    New name acquired!

    I've been "Clays", "Clark", "Wailin", "Villain", last week in Korea I was "Walkin" at one point. I thought that would be the last one for some time and that I've collected all the variants, but then I have a meeting today and one of the department heads calls me "Clay", so it seems there is still more to be drawn from the well of names. 🤣

      If you're curious what the "correct" pronunciation is, say "Claws Valeen" with a Connecticut accent and you're pretty much there.

      I don't mind at all, it's just hilarious to me how many different ways my name can confuse people. 😊

      Just be kind and well-meaning and we'll get along just fine whatever you call me.

    I sowed these beans just over three weeks ago. Almost time to chop them down and sow some more :D

    Momentous decisions have been made. In preparation for spring I’m going to build two more 6x4 cedar raised beds like the one in the photo, which will go side by side in the foreground where that blue tote currently sits. There should be enough soil in the old rotted raised bed hiding in the back right to more or less fill them both. The cement block raised bed will then be relocated to that back corner. I’ve also propagated the two large blackberry plants against the fence into four plants, so those should take off next season as well. Behind this photo to the right, I’ve also tarped off an 8x10 area of lawn to plant wildflowers in the spring. We may get some fruit trees next year as well.

    Lots of work ahead. I owe my lower back a preemptive apology.

    I terminated my cover crop of beans this morning and re-sowed. This was a month's worth of growth in the July heat. I suspect it will slow down a little as the weather cools. I wonder how many more cycles I can get out of it before Fall arrives in earnest.

    Weirdly dinky/odd shaped harvest of these white potatoes, compared to the reds. Not sure these are worth saving for seed. Might just eat them and find another variety for the spring.

    I came home from a weekend in NYC to find my blackberries had flopped over thanks to tropical whatever Debbie. I got them righted again without catastrophic damage, but it's relying on some mechanical assistance. I may have to get some extra long stakes or rebar to hold them up more permanently.
