Wandering Adventure Party

I'd only seen photos of Roman roads made with flagstones.

Hadn't realised that some were aggregate.

Now wondering why only flagstone photos get widely distributed.

"nobody's boycotting the progress being made in chip design"

[waving hand]
Over here.
We're boycotting chips that offer us nothing more that we want or need.
Run the web browser, word processor, printer drivers, scan drivers, network connections, do security updates. And don't make the humans waste time with the damned computers. It's a lot to ask but new chips are not going to do this any better.

Bill Gates - what an oppressive, abusive creep.

Wild pigs kept me awake in the tent. I made cough-grunts in reply so they'd be very clear where we were.

I'd seen one come down onto the beach during the day and initially thought it was a small cow.

"Maybe I'm very strange but my metric for a post "doing well" is replies ..."

Me too.
Some if this is valuing dialogue.

And at a slightly different angle I'm getting interested in "What we know" as in "we the folk here and now". So "what is our common knowledge or combined knowledge?".
