#Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A couple (80s?) walk out of a supermarket in a small country town, search through their trolley for a pack of fresh baked cupcakes and gleefully crack it open.
Standing in the morning sun, nibbling on little frosted morsels of happiness.A man (20s?) is strutting down an evening-quiet street with a board game under his arm. (Carcassonne?)
There's important board game business to be done and he's ready for it.
Cicadas click clicking in trees overhead.
A nearby dog woofing a "Who goes there?"A very pregnant woman (20s?) is wandering around Kmart while hugging a giant blue Stitch plushie.
A man (30s?) greets her asking, "Heya cuz! What ya got there?"
She laughs and holds out Stitch, saying, "Hug THIS."
He does and laughs, "Oh yeah! It's mine now!"A man (40s?) in sensible hiking wear with a high tech pair of binoculars is standing at the edge of a river, grinning as he looks at a magnified family of California quail derp-running* chest first across a walking track.
Making little quail noises as quails do.
(Best. Birds. Ever.)A tourist stops at a food truck doing smash burgers and loaded fries in a small country town.
Looking at the menu she says: " YES! You have American mustard!"
The server does a big evil cackle: "AH HA! It's a tourist trap. Ya fell for it."
Laughing, she orders a burger, fries, the lot.(Continued Below)

Any typos spotted in this post are so grateful for all the lovely messages from yesterday. If typos spotted, please remind them them that they've never failed to finish writing a novel no matter the obstacle. Even if they have to do it while roaring into the void, The End gets written. Eventually!

*I have no other description for how these birds move. I adore them. Just seeing them makes me so, so happy. If you're wondering what I'm talking about, here is the bird in question. (They're an introduced species but I still find them rather wonderful.) https://ebird.org/atlasnz/species/calqua

@georgepenney What? That is my state bird. They live in the hills over here. Just imagine that when they bob their empty little heads, they're saying, "Oh yes, George can finish that book, no problem." Quails believe in you!

@georgepenney I love these quail! We've had ferrets, possums, starlings and pīwakawaka get stuck in our bathroom, but I still consider the quail to be the most unexpected encounter, they're usually so shy out here!

@georgepenney I can't decide which I like best the cupcake couple or the plushy people. Why choose, I love them all. 🤗🤗

@georgepenney
I just had to look up where Aotearoa is. And boy is it beautiful! It is very very very far away from here. Good to hear about places like that from you.
Btw, my sons are devout board gamers :) -

@georgepenney *is one of the people cracking open the freshly baked cupcakes, is that very pregnant woman with a plushy hugging it, and is surprisingly, that bottle of American mustard, because I am American and I love mustard*

@georgepenney It's funny to look at that range map and see, yeah, some of California...some of the western part of South America...and New Zealand. All of New Zealand. Boom.

@georgepenney I had to look up the run. Delightful. And fast! Speed-derpers!! https://yewtu.be/HHLOeNT511E?t=36

@robini71 Did it?! Oh goodness I didn't know they did the sound on the site. That's so cool!

@georgepenney @robini71 Quail are adorable! I love seeing their little chicks and my favorite is the noise of warning the lookout makes! To me, the warning cry of the California Quail sounds as if hundreds of soap bubbles are rapidly popping! I call the crest a thinking feather, but the way they run one way and suddenly another, I'm uncertain how much thinking is done.

Mantenere mobile, duttile, l'opinione pubblica permette di attizzarla facilmente, non farla consolidare, batterla col martello della propria violenza, sfruttare tutti i mezzi di controllo e di manipolazione che hanno bisogno di un prodotto malleabile
Se si mantiene caldo un campo, si può mantenerne un altro freddo: invisibile, lontano dall'attenzione, stabile. Il campo del controllo, dei rapporti nascosti
La legittimazione è importante solo nella misura in cui permette di mantenere la posizione

@adrianomorselli sono sempre i migliori, quelli che sé ne vanno 😂

Legittimità è una costruzione di regole, accettate o subite, ma riconosciute come reali
La distruzione di tutto ciò può frammentare ulteriormente i legami sociali in essere, magari per essere ristrutturati a piacimento di altri
Ma chi continua a distruggere può imporsi solo con la forza e la sua esibizione, quindi anche minacce, atti di violenza, guerre
La guerra diventa forza primaria di legittimazione, tenuta sempre attiva per continuare a distruggere e mantenere mobile l'opinione pubblica
-
La legittimità non è un ordine superiore che scende dal cielo sugli uomini, checché ne dicano alcuni
La legittimità è un riconoscimento dato da un insieme di persone, che sia comunità, massa di persone, o massa di individui nella loro bolla collegati da un tessuto artificialmente sociale
La legittimità è costruita, più raramente spontanea, si esprime e regola con atti comunicativi e assunzione di valori
La legittimità è una cessione di forza per sostenere un progetto

Conway’s Game of Life With Physical Buttons
Conway’s Game of Life excels in its simplicity, creating a cellular automaton on a 2D grid where each cell obeys a set of very simple rules that determine whether a cell is ‘alive’ or ‘dead’. After setting an initial condition the ‘game’ then evolves naturally from there, creating an endless series of patterns as a simplified form of bacterial evolution. Of course, setting an initial state and then watching cells light up or fade away seems like a natural fit for light-up buttons. After struggling with intrusive thoughts related to such a project for a while, [Michal Zalewski] finally gave in, creating a pretty amazing looking result.
Although there is no set size for the game board, [Michal] was constrained by his budget for the selected NKK JB15LPF-JF tactile buttons, resulting in a 17×17 matrix. That’s 289 buttons, for those keeping score, which comes down to over $1,000 over at e.g. Digikey even with quantity-based pricing. Add to this the custom PCB and a Microchip AVR128DA64 squeezed in a corner of said PCB to run the whole show and it’s quite the investment.
Finishing up the PCB, driving the lights is done with a duty cycle as the matrix is scanned along with detecting inputs in a similar manner. This required the addition of MOSFETs and transistors, the details of which can be found in the downloadable project files, along with the firmware source code. In the article a video of the board in action can be watched, allowing one to admire the very pretty wooden enclosure as well.

Cos'è la legittimità, e cos'è la legittimità oggi
Oggi ci sono forze votate a distruggere ogni legittimità (ONU, ordine mondiale, lo stesso stato e partito da cui originano)
La distruzione di legittimità è usato come segno di forza, e la forza che hanno è la fonte unica della loro legittimità
La legittimità viene dall'essere gli unici con diritto a parlare, e l'impostazione di questo rapporto di forza e l'esibizione è ciò che li sostiene. L'unica debolezza che negano a ogni costo, l'impotenza

Poliverso.org vive, Metaverso no! Meta ""chiude"" il metaverso e vince l'Oscar per la peggiore strategia di rebranding della storia
L'unico che ci credeva cosi tanto era Zuckerberg che ha pure cambiato nome alla sua società fondata nel 2004; da Facebook a Meta perché secondo lui "il metaverso era il futuro". Dal 2020 bruciati 80 miliardi di dollari.
Lunga vita e prosperità al Fediverso! 🖖
