This is all the #butterfly I have today. I decided to try mountain biking today and at 71 I am not as spry as I thought. So I spent most of my vision on possible trail hazards rather than on flutterbys. Nevertheless I captured this Behr’s Metalmark. And of course Marine Blues.

My latest: a deep dive on why no, Bitcoin isn't pumping because it's a "safe haven" from banks. Please for the love of god stop printing nonsense.

No, Bitcoin isn't pumping because it's a "safe haven" from banks

There are more reasonable explanations for the price increase, and more than a few flaws with the "safe haven" narrative.

The world has become consumed by the idea that growth at all cost is good. It’s normalised now.

Businesses should simultaneously make record profits and lay people off to make more profits, human populations should grow grow grow, growth mindset, deregulate for growth, consume all resources for growth. It’s all about this quarters results.

Another way of looking at is uncontrolled growth is cancerous. It consumes the host, until the host dies.

If humans could fly, I think some of us would. But it probably takes the same amount of energy as running. So realistically, I think most of us would end up like pigeons & loiter outside of convenience stores instead of flying across the country.
I miss how sneezing used to be fun rather than a potential harbinger of severe ongoing vascular damage.

I've been struggling with this myself, so I thought I'd repeat it for other people that might be dealing with the same thing:

Not every hobby needs to be a project. Not everything needs to be a whole *thing* with a goal and an endpoint. It's okay to not finish something. It's okay to pick up something for a bit, explore it, start making something, and then drop it without making any "progress".

Productivity is capitalist bullshit that doesn't need to infect your free time too. Have some fun

For folks in the #sfbay area, Tuesday will be your day to prepare for the next major storm. Note that winds in this storm expected to be stronger than the 31 December storm. Extreme risk indicated across the entire San Francisco Bay Area and surrounding areas. #cawx

Bay Area.

"To put it simply, this will likely be one of the most impactful systems on a widespread scale that this meteorologist has seen in a long while. The impacts will include widespread flooding, roads washing out, hillside collapsing, trees down (potentially full groves), widespread power outages, immediate disruption to commerce, and the worst of all, likely loss of human life. This is truly a brutal system that we are looking at and needs to be taken seriously."
