The book “Assembling California” by McPhee gives a lot of excellent description about context when it comes to geology. Gets a bit academic at times, but interesting background on California’s crazy geology.

I never bought one in the first place (my dad passed and I inherited his, even with free charging), and I’m working on selling it. Financially it would be way easier to keep it but I’m straight up embarrassed to be driving it.

- Comment on This is what America looked like before the EPA cleaned it up 1 month ago:
Growing up in the eighties in the Los Angeles area, we frequently had “smog alert” days at school where we were not allowed to run around at recess. That was not very long ago, and the impact emissions regulations have had just in that short time can’t be understated. Baffling that we elected in a party that wants to roll all of that back.

I think the greatest ending to this story would be if an employee at that landfill found it (either by digging for it on their lunch breaks or just random chance) and was able to use it.

Damn, beat me to it. I would bet 10,500 buttcoins that at least 75% of people who see that headline immediately thought the same thing too.

“When life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”
- Cave Johnson, founder and CEO of Aperature Science
- Comment on Automattic demanded web host pay $32M annually for using WordPress trademark 5 months ago:
The very clear point made here that should have shut all this noise down in the first place is that WPE is not obligated in any way to contribute back to Automattic (private biz) or the WordPress foundation (non profit). Complete shakedown by Matt that should be making all of us think very carefully about the future of the Wordpress platform as a whole. If one guy that runs a private business that also happens to be tied to a nonprofit that runs a widely used platform (yes, that does sound like a mess) decides that he’s not getting his way regarding your business that makes money off of the ecosystem (there are thousands), then he can throw a fit and shake them down too.
The platform isn’t perfect and has its warts, but it does fill a need that works for a lot of use cases. There’s a reason why so much of the web is using it. This drama has been making me give serious thought to completely abandoning the platform and recommending to everyone else that they do the same though.
