  • Cyber antitruck

    But what is a truck really? For Musk, a truck is an irregular polyhedron.

  • Democracy Bible Study

    I got this weird little comic book a little while ago. It’s by historian Timothy Snyder. On Tyranny Graphic Edition: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century was been adapted from Snyder’s full length, “regular” book of the same name (which itself was excellent). Why he or his publisher decided to turn it into a comic…

One such puzzle of theirs that I’d never heard of before is…

    Upgraded coop lighting

    I finally got around to upgrading the lighting in my chicken coop.
