Great video. Watch it!

🤯 A visual physics lesson at 80 km/h.

Enthusiasts launched a man from a moving truck in the opposite direction - at the same speed the car was traveling.

The experiment spectacularly showed how relative speed works.

Finally got around to writing about the 4 Demands on a Team’s Time, a model @tastapod introduced me to a while back.

Having one of those days where the #LongCovid limitations hit hard.

I was scrolling through Mastodon when I found a post about a book I'd like to read. It's a technical book that I would normally expect to have strong feelings about.

Like "I completely agree with the problem but this solution is completely unworkable for reasons x, y, and z. Here is a different, better way of thinking about it!" or "That's excellent and very persuasive. How can I apply it to my work?"

And here I am, doing my mandatory stay-horizontal-if-you-don't-want-headaches time.

Knowing that if I buy the book, I probably won't be able to read it.

If I can read it, there's no guarantee it will do anything but frustrate me as I try to express my feeling about it.

And assuming I wanted to incorporate its ideas into my work, my ability to do work is at such a low ebb right now that there isn't really anything to change.

Long covid: taking all the things you love to do the most and making them unattainable.

If you are looking for anti-capitalistic quotes, here is a good (and poetic) one:

"„Western Cultures believes we must be alive for a purpose. To work, to make money. Many indigenous cultures believe, we’re alive just as nature is alive: to be here, to be beautiful and strange. We don’t need to achieve anything to be valid in our humanness.“
(Melanie Lau)
