@clifstan at one point I was at the ALA and thinking about how people do net access, and I realized how much better the computing world would be if there were servers in the basement with shell accounts for anyone with a library card, but libraries could be more than that, even-- access not just to the sum total of human knowledge, but to crucial resources for our survival.
@amsomniac@clifstan Such are beginning to happen, with makerspaces as part of uni libraries at least. But sure it would be grand if there were more such, and in local libraries. What if people could “check out” education from qualified teachers and earn a certification at the end for expertise?
@snowdusk_ I grok you. Though I would stress the systemic dangers murkily revealed via his inanities. I’d hazard that he was briefed on longterm US strategic ambitions to NW passage and mineral resources, then just took it in a nutty direction (as he does).
This predates Trump. Who “owns” KN de jure is not seriously relevant. Washington wants USA icebreakers patrolling, bases along the Arctic coast, and mining corps digging. And hence CA & KN sovereignty claims are an annoyance to be hammered.
RT @lorenschmidt@twitter.com i am watching 'rebirth of mothra' (1992) for the first time and i am so excited. you can tell it's going to be good- look at all these sparkles.
@logout It just so happens I’m quite comfortable with a bivvy, and have a cozy USA military sleep system ready to roll. Thanks heaps, this is very interesting info.
Do I read you right, however, that one can *not* sleep nor camp in the Czech national parks? Even in the bush / backcountry? Seems a bit odd, that.
Do people say Czechia, Czech Republic, which is preferred? (I assume “Bohemia” is out.)
