When Mozart was 8 this tree was over 40.
When first Steam Engine was patented this tree was 50.
When the Wright Brothers flew the first motorized plane this tree was 180.
Now at aged 300 it was felled for a service road for HS2

Fun fact. Andre the Giant once drank 156 pints of beer in one sitting. Being well over 500 pounds, the staff couldn’t move him when he passed out and had to wait for him to wake up.

Saw on an old 2018 Babylon Bee post about how Google left Easter off of its homepage doodle in honor of the empty tomb. 2021, still no doodle? Here are some archived doodles that Google deemed important enough to advertise.

These people preach equality and fairness, but don’t think that they aren’t pawns of the evil one. Sever ties with companies like Google, don’t feed the beast.

Yesterday I walked around in this with a Hololens. Never used the Hololens before, but it was a really cool experience to be able to get the actual feeling of being inside.

"When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - When you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - You may know that your society is doomed."
-Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Dusted off a concrete form system that I engineered back in 2008. It is much cheaper than the system I am using on my house, but no one wants to give planning approval/lend money for things that are unconventional. Makes me sad. I look at all of the crazy stuff built in the 70's and 80's and wonder if we will ever get back to such a creatively bold time. I might be able to sneak this into a barn or stables.

no matter how many technologies you are familiar/proficient with there will always be a longer list of technologies for which you have little to no familiarity or proficiency.

it is this second list whose members will jump out at you most when looking through job descriptions.

don't let the second list intimidate you. every skill in the list of things you count as your skillset was once listed on the second list, too.

Heidi is enjoying her cousin’s birthday party! Her turn next week🙂

Helped my neighbor frame his roof today. Not bad for 3 guys who don’t do it as a day job.
