   I've mainly been growing lettuces in my two hugel mounds with no plan for a succession crop. On Saturday, on a whim, I direct sowed about 40-50 each of dried black and pinto beans I bought at the grocery store. I didn't really know what to expect, but they've sprouted shockingly fast. So far 5 days on I count 18 black bean sprouts and 1 pinto.

   I have no idea if these are bush or climbing varieties, but I would guess than large scale growers that supply supermarkets wouldn't grow pole beans. Right?

   Ulrika Bodén is one of my favorite singers ever, and to the extent of what I know about her, one of my favorite people too. Her singing has incredible precision, and she has spent her career spreading songs from northern Sweden, in northern Swedish singing traditions and northern Swedish dialects, to a wider audience. Your average Swede wouldn't know about the "kulning" singing technique if not for Bodén and others like her reinvigorating traditions.

   In this half-hour episode, she talks about growing up, discovering her own local dialect, and stories of other people who were denied their dialect, reconnected with it and flourished as artists and poets. Also featured are Liliana Zavala, percussionist from Córdoba, Argentina; Rostam Mirlashari, Balochi singer from Zahedan, Sistan and Baluchestan province, Iran; and Swedish dancer Ulrika Larsen, who specializes in East Indian dance.

   The conversation is in Swedish, but there are English subtitles, and the majority of the time is musical performances.

     It seems I am entering that mood where I need to fill my head with folk and rock folk music from bands like Ranarim (Bodén+2), Hedningarna, Garmarna, Väsen ... if you know other cool nordic folk-inspired bands, let me know!

     @Jez 📚 Thanks! I'm aware of Hoven Droven, they even collaborated with Bidén once!

     The other names are all new to me, will check them out!

   A cool thread about interurban electric street cars in the United States at the turn of the twentieth century.
   
   

   ♲ @straphanger@urbanists.social: They were never all that profitable. (Then, neither are highways and roads.) But what a public service they provided! And, because they were powered by electricity...

   Today I Learned that openstreemap.org, which I've been increasingly using to avoid Google Maps with varying degrees of success, it just is a tech demo of what can be done with the underlying open data. 🤯

   It still is an impressive achievement for a demo.
   
   

   ♲ @djh@chaos.social: But wait! Why don't we first get the OpenStreetMap database through quality control and then re-render the map?

   And here is where user expectations and reality are clashing.

   openstreetmap.org

   is not meant as a user-friendly map or app or anything regular users are supposed to use.

   It's simply a demo of what the OpenStreetMap data could produce but not meant for end users.

   Turns out that's not what most users expect.

   4/n

     @Daniel I knew the OSM data was meant to be used by other apps, but I thought openstreetmap.org was the project’s flagship, not a really well made demo.

    Outlook: "More concise language would be clearer for your reader. Suggestion: investigated"

    That's actually one character more, two if I don't count the space. More concise? Just more pretentious. We didn't "investigate", we just browsed a few lines of logs.

    "You can begin to understand," said Thor, angrily, "which is why I have come to you. Do you know that most people hardly see me? Hardly notice me at all? It is not that we are hidden. We are here. We move among you. My people. Your gods. You gave birth to us. You made us what you would not dare to be yourselves. Yet you will not acknowledge us. If I walk along one of your streets in this... world you have made for yourselves without us, then barely an eye will once flicker in my direction."

      @Mans R The latest two full episodes S11E14 and S11E15 of LWT had followups on a spin-off topic from the main Red Lobster story of S11E13, and it was silly and impressively performed with commitment to the bit, by the target of Oliver's joke.

    "Pappa! Come here! Why is the rain doing that?!"

    Our towers are spaced close to each other, maybe the tower is 50 m wide and the distance wall-to-wall to the next tower is just 10 m or even less, so the passage between two towers can have pretty high wind speeds.

    Now it's raining and windy, so first of all we can see the general vertical rain outside the window, nothing weird with that. But occasionally there will be a powerful burst of wind between the towers and it will bring with it a white spray of water sucked in from the other side of the passage. So you kind of see these waves of white spray through the air, it's quite a unique view.
