Man I hope everyone is watching The Pitt. It's just the best TV show in forever.

Noah Wyle on ‘The Pitt’ Duties, ‘ER’ Run As Dr. Carter

On ‘ER,’ Noah Wyle was a prime-time TV star. In the streaming era, he’s just happy to be part of the company.

Need a hopeful story? 22 students at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, 4 years ago, set out to "really inspire people and the market and society to accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable future. What we’re trying to do is to show people and show companies what’s already possible.”

So they made a #solarpunk campervan fully equipped with living essentials including a double bed, sofa, kitchen area and a bathroom with a shower, sink and toilet. It can fit two people, who can drive, cook breakfast and watch television using just the vehicle’s solar-charged battery.

Then they took it on a tour of Europe driving 1,200 miles without stopping for fuel or plugging in to charge. https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/stella-vita-solar-campervan-netherlands-spc-intl/index.html

My enjoyment of Severance is somewhat diminished by the fact that I never have any fucking idea what's going on.

Arriving next week! 👀

Amazing how beautiful and efficient it is living in a functioning society: infrastructure built for people, to make daily lives easier.

Goes for big — Port of Rotterdam's investments to go zero-CO₂ within 25 years — and small: train travel made so easy, it's show up, tap, go.

Another "Interrailing through Switzerland" post: a long trip awaited me on Friday: I took the Glacier Express from Zermatt via Brig, Andermatt, Disentis/Mustér and Chur to Tiefencastel, changed to regional trains and ended up in Davos where I stayed for another two nights.

The ride on the Glacier Express was comfy and often scenic, but sadly the fog around the Oberalppass prevented me from taking pictures.

At Davos I tried cross-country skiing, which I havent't done since being a small child. After roughly 10 kilometers I felt my aching muscles but had lots of fun!
Of course there was also time for some winter hiking.

The casting of “The Pitt” (Max) is phenomenal. So many amazing faces and performances.

Not a new thing, but good to know if you use a Mac:

- Launch System Settings
- Go to General > About
- Scroll to the bottom and click "System Report"

In the System Report window:

- Scroll down to Software > Installations (see pic)

This is a list of things installed on your Mac. Click the "Install Date" column to sort old to new. Click again and you'll see the newest stuff first.

Not necessarily something you need to do, more good to know.

“We will never, ever make this mistake any more. On the steering wheel, we will have physical buttons. Honestly, it's a car. It's not a phone: it's a car.” Volkswagen reintroducing physical controls for vital functions. A good start back to sanity.

I'm really getting sick of having to keep turning off Apple Intelligence every time one of my devices updates, which they do fairly frequently. Apple needs to respect their customers' choices and stop this crap now.
