I have a huge trade deficit with the grocery store. They refuse to purchase my goods. To address this injustice, I will set myself on fire.

TIL about the new Apple Music app for Windows. I'm impressed to see that it's a native WinUI + Windows SDK app when they could have easily gotten away with Electron!

In 1693, a Manila Galleon full of goods and bound for Acapulco, wrecked on the coast of what is now Oregon, never reaching its destination. A craftsman from the Nehalem-Tillamook and Clatsop peoples made this arrowhead (in the Tillamook Pioneer Museum) out of Qing dynasty porcelain from the wreck.

Love this map! It shows the grades of the streets in order to help pedestrians and cyclists plan their routes (from Queenstown, New Zealand).

Why city planning needs diverse perspectives.

Touring possible commuter cycling routes.

What I saw - Smooth pavement. Separate from traffic. Shade. Not too busy. Perfect.

What my female partner saw - Blind corners. No lighting. No escape routes. Too few users. Wouldn’t use this route.

Using a structural system similar to that of the Hearst Tower in New York but prefabricated in mass timber and designed for disassembly.

Looks great and much less upfront carbon than a steel building.
