Anyone else remember encarta and how magical it was the first time you saw it - or am I just old?

@tilap @CertainTeaa @sarobertsonca interesting take. i consider the place i lived from 8 to 15 to be my home town. those are some of the most formative childhood years. i barely remember the city i was born in.

@CertainTeaa @sarobertsonca Ah ok, everybody has different views I guess. I don’t consider my 12 years living in one place as a teenager my hometown.

CARNEY: "Let me also thank the Australian firefighters who are here in this chamber today. They came to my home province of Alberta when we faced record wildfires last summer."

@BicycleAdagio it begs the question, is the road has been closed for 6 years, and the sky hasn’t fallen, did it really need to be opened to cars?
English
Melbourne reopens a street that’s been closed to motor vehicle traffic for 6 years and it immediately becomes congested. Brilliant stuff chaps. 👏
Wheel reinventor@wheelreinvent
Imagine posting photos of a congested car lane you’ve just reopened like it’s some kind of achievement

@fictillius it’s absolutely disgraceful. everyone that left with a bag should be fined and/or banned from flying.

The amount of people taking their bags down the slides 🙄

I'm increasingly convinced that burnout doesn't come from working long hours or weekends. Burnout comes from working on things that drain your energy with people that do the same.

It's fascinating that there are two completely opposite narratives about US vs. Europe.
1. Americans are strong warriors from Mars, Europeans are emasculated weaklings from Venus
2. "How can Europeans live without A/C, painkillers, and having to walk 800m occasionally!??"

I encouraged the boys to walk to the bar that was 0.5 miles away. Everybody is mad at me now. This incline is insane.

@fictillius pretty sure that’s Wolli Creek station, can even see the creek right there.

@willreil @DabsMalone I thought software was a gateway to hardware.

2025 is the first year ever that Australia has recorded more pedestrian fatalities than vehicle passenger fatalities. Super-sized vehicles seemingly doing a great job at protecting their occupants at the expense of everyone else. drive.com.au/news/pedestria…

As the Liberals roll into a second week of rank political opportunism, it’s worth remembering this:
Tony Abbott quietly did a deal with an MP that allowed controversial rapid-fire shotguns into Australia.
The question is - who was the MP, and why the deal?
I found out. 👇

Massive new @Nature study: castration increases lifespan across vertebrates (zoo mammals, rodents, wild animals).
This aligns with historical human data: Korean eunuchs lived 14-19 years longer than their peers.
Your move, @Bryan_Johnson.

Scientists December 2025: "the magnitude of climate change is likely underestimated - global warming is probably at the unsurvivable high end of projections"

Heading for rapid extinction at 3/3.5°C and rising by 2045-54 and yet we're in virtually total denial.

@retrobike_c16 @smh the focus should be on the garbage truck going the wrong way down the street.
English
I see the @smh has gone all-in on the ebike moral panic. How tiresome
Australia’s seemingly endless ability to shriek about safety whilst doing absolutely fuck all about the biggest single risk faced by its people on a daily basis - cuntish driver behaviour - its worst aspect

Collapse of key Atlantic current could bring extreme drought to Europe for centuries, study finds.
That's an under-appreciated impact of an #AMOC shutdown, of particular concern given the recent results showing much higher likelihood of this. 1/2

Another view from yesterday morning's incredible snowfall in #Pittsburgh, this time a snowglobe view of the Clemente Bridge. I liked that the snow had partially recovered the road as well...makes it look a bit more like a snowglobe.

What a morning in #Pittsburgh today. I was downtown for over six hours capturing the snow as it fell on the Steel City, and it might be one of my favorite snowfalls ever. I have so many views to share, but we'll start with one from Mt. Washington, a snowglobe view of the incline.
