Exactly this. The powerful stagnate without a constant supply of new stuff stolen *from us*... because *we are the source of actual value*.

Remember that when you're creating somethingβ€”you're doing the real work.

There are sooo many *Augochlora pura*, Pure Green Sweat Bees, in my garden this Spring.

Nearly every log in my garden has them visiting. The size of my pinky nail, ~1cm, they nest in rotting wood.

They are my favoritest bee.

You've got to love a good blep. So regal. So dignified. Not at all hilarious.

At Repair Cafe today I worked on:

A carpet head for a stick vacuum cleaner - it was twisted and jammed. Lube and unjam, easy one to start.

An Evolution 9" angle grinder - A gearbox bearing had exploded, causing the motor brushes to destroy themselves, and then burning out the motor control pack. Scrapped.

A Kenwood Chef - the PCB burnt out. The client found one online and get the replacement for next time.

A fence paint sprayer - the spray plungers her stuck with a bit of paint and some rust. Cleaned and freed up so all working.

Secateurs - Needed a quick adjustment, sharpen, and lube.

Hedge and lawn edging shears - both needed a clean, adjustment, and a sharpen.

A JCB SDS drill - no rotary drive. Everything looks ok, but difficult to see the motion inside the gearbox due to all the grease and it needing to be assembled to test. Out of time, so back to it next month.
