First and last foot pics, just to show off the hammock I finally got after five years of living in Los Angeles. -
Taking a series of trains, buses and fun facts about them@skinnylatte yeah, I’ve never been, but I remember this because it was a news story. Albuquerque busses have been zero-fare since late 2023 and it’s generally been considered successful at increasing ridership and helping lower income and unhoused people get to things like medical appointments and social services facilities.

I would consider myself a sensible skeptic, in that I do not believe in the supernatural, but if I saw something that looked like a demonic possession or a hostile ghost or whatever I would immediately LEAVE.@astronomerritt Yeah I think you put that very well. There’s all kinds of stories of like road construction projects in Iceland being re-routed after someone reports that a particular boulder houses a church for the elves or something like that. One thing I love about the Icelandic elves is the whole mythology is like a textbook example of unfalsifiable claims: the elves live inside the rocks, and it’s up to them whether they let themselves be seen by humans, and they rarely do. You can choose to believe it or just to play along, without it intersecting with your participation in the world of facts much at all
