@alex Surnames are nice and all, but my contacts look something like this:
Jonas, Squirrely
Jonas, Super High
Jonas, Pilot
Jonas, Farted
Helps me remember and is probably how surnames came about anyways.
@ajroach42 My 10 YO niece seemed to pick up Google Sketchup 8 in a few minutes pretty easily. I think it can export Collada files, then Meshlab can convert to other formats like STL. We weren’t do anything related to 3D printing though.
@tymektt That is awesome! Is there anything that we in the US can do to support your efforts?
Some of my Russian friends who updated their profiles in support of Ukraine! They know the risks.
Update from a friend who has a Ukrainian wife, whose daughter has been trying to get out.
@ajroach42 Same here. I think it's good to try and help others run into some "luck" if you can. Many times I've provided opportunities for people and you just never know who will seize them.

"At present the nations are heavily armed and are inventing weapons more and more terrible, as if the chief end of man could only be answered by destroying myriads of his fellows. Yet peace will prevail one day.
How will this come about? By trade? By civilization? By arbitration? Peace will be established only by the reign of the Prince of Peace. He must teach the people by His Spirit, renew their hearts by His grace, and reign over them by His supreme power, and then will they cease to wound and kill.
Man is a monster and only the Lord Jesus can turn a lion into a lamb. By changing man’s heart, his bloodthirsty passions are removed. Pray that the Giver of Peace would speedily put an end to war and establish concord over the whole world.”
- Charles Spurgeon (1887)

@MMA and @itztheschnitz in a Toot reminded me of the book 1984.
When I first read 1984 way back in 1972, it seemed so far out there that I figured I would never see any of it happen even though the "cool" rock stars and lefties of the day warned against it.
But in 1973 my city got it's first police helicopter. Soon the first personal computers arrived and law enforcement embraced them. Coupled with the radios they had it was now possible to run warrants during a traffic stop.

@neauoire This was an interesting read. The comparison between hardware and software to body and soul, and storing media as a process, fascinated me. I am religious and no one can ever really clearly seem to define what a soul is. IMO computing brings us a little bit closer to understanding our own metaphysical nature. I think the future of permacomputing will seem like magic and we know amazing things are possible. 100 million year old microbes sprung back to life! This world is full of wonder.
This is Heidi’s favorite dancing song lately!🙂

The Euro was launched in 1992, it's 30 years old this year.
Bitcoin was launched in 2009, it's 13 years old this year.
In 2024 bitcoin will be half the age of the Euro.
I wonder which will last longer?
They are very different projects.
Bottom up vs top down.
The modern dollar and GBP launched in about 1972 when the gold standard ended. They're about 50 years old. Bitcoin's been up over 20% of the time that the modern dollar has existed.
Probably the dollar and the pound will be replaced by central bank digital currencies rather than properly collapse I suppose.
That's basically just a state bank-account. Tax auto-deducted. Benefits auto-paid. Blockable by the fuzz in the event you're accused of a crime, rightly or wrongly. For legitimate or political reasons.
The future of money looks weird and politically charged whether a top-down or bottom-up system would take over.
Either way we may regret giving up cash money.
How does your bicycle keep rolling along after you stop peddling? It's called a freewheel.
Polaris Hall was quite a project, getting ready for another at the academy.
@Cherishingsparrows2020 That's great! I had a trainee up in the A/V loft, so I hope everything went smoothly.
