1/ Another successful meetup! Let’s recap #geomobLX.
Once again, a big thanks to Startup Lisboa for hosting us and our two organizers, Joana Simoes and Miguel Marques.
twelve years ago, a painter by the name of anders ramsell painted 12,597 aquarelle paintings of blade runner, shot by shot, of the entire film edited down to ~35 minutes. it took two years of painstaking work, all done in his spare time after work each night.
the video circled around the web for a few years, and quietly disappeared from every single site it was hosted at.
a few months ago i spent a few hours digging for it, and finally found a copy of the original file.
i'm not sure how long it will last over at IA, so enjoy it while you can. it is a true achievement. 🙏

it works, beautifully (not the first time but then I slept on it and realised I adjusted the thing - the lower shaft gear - in the wrong direction, doh). But seeing the guts of the thing has now awakened a desire for a post-apocalyptic foot pedal-driven machine. There's tons of them in every second hand shop on the island. See e.g. https://www.lojasecondhand.com/produto/maquina-de-costura-singer-com-pe/
Pro: leg day every sewing day, repairability one would assume, food driven rather than electricity driven. Cons, potential irrepairability?

@michaelgraaf Sounds like I'm looking for something like Cfb or Cfc on the Köppen climate classification system. Well, that's a rabbithole and a half :)

@michaelgraaf ooooh that's a nice nugget of info, thanks! Useful for equatorial places where the extremes aren't so extreme, but how do I get a place where it's always spring or autumn?
Found this which ... is not as helpful as I hoped, but very interesting!

I also want to move to a place where energy is so expensive that people don't use fucking weedeaters and leafblowers. WTAF is wrong with people. (Yes I am totally feeling morally superior because I'm getting two mini ponies for the job instead.) And my messy garden had guests!
Two hedgehogs, who apparently are mostly solitary, so this could've been some romancing, came to have some water. I am DELIGHTED.
