Raindrops and Roses and Whiskers and Kittens is an account of a few favorite things from Coltrane to Julie Andrews and everything in between.

Boosting (a lot!) and posting pretty interesting, pretty and interesting things.

Here for fun. No personal questions. Creepy vibes, anti-trans blocked.

Can “finitism” possibly describe the real world?

Do you know somebody with a 3d printer? It should not be so difficult to create a printer file from openstreetmap data.
There are already print files for tactile globes: one only has coastlines (not country borders), and another one with topography.

@raindrops_and_roses @JPK_elmediat I would personally like a map of China. I would like a tactile globe because I don't really understand how countries are in relation to one another. If I were rich I'd have a whole library and have one area for maps. Like forget diamonds and cars and all that crap, give me maps.
@benroyce @pluralistic Oh yeah, the windmills. Those Chinese Dutch windmills from back in the day that survived are so ugly and harm us so much and it is so expensive and energy is never made just converted and we convert the money to energy and the energy to money. And windmills.
