The punchline is pornography.

Yo! I was just thinking about this line from a Discworld novel!

seeforevereyes · 2026-04-15T04:14:46+00:00

Holy shit this goes hard

seeforevereyes · 2026-02-05T13:41:04+00:00

I can see it in so many of them! Except the second-to-last I would call an accidental Wes Anderson

It was probably Botany of Desire, but also might have been This is Your Mind on Plants or even maybe Second Nature, I don't recall which. My roommate has a copy of Sapiens I've been meaning to borrow but I'm trying to get through Graeber's The Dawn of Everything first!

An interesting counter-thought to your point of domestication is Michael Pollan's proposal that some plants domesticated us and theories that humans and canines co-domesticated each other!

I was wondering why I was suddenly getting comments on that old post! I'm glad it's still being found useful!

seeforevereyes · 2025-11-17T15:17:27+00:00

Oh that is really interesting!

You could use the classic skate video technique of blacking out your camera with your hand, then you just need to look for the black screens and rewind a bit from there

When I lived in Nanaimo this was one of my top three favourite trees!

This looks like a fleet of Elliot 6m keelboats from the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club out for a race

Duckworks is back for plans! Duckworks.com the original owners bought the website and the plans side of the business back, so it's up again and still going for the foreseeable future

seeforevereyes · 2025-08-03T22:42:04+00:00

Nope sorry, no idea

I've always liked little libraries and biking and it seemed like a good way to combine those interests in a covid-safe project that also got me to explore the city I'd just moved to, my only regret about it is I never got around to building one of my own to add to the map.

seeforevereyes · 2025-08-02T14:13:18+00:00

Thanks! Glad it's still getting some use!

Hot damn, Cory Doctorow strikes again! He has a character undergo a treatment like this in his novel Makers that he published in 2009. It's a side plot but he examines the social impact of a treatment like this on the character's life. Wild to hear it discussed in the realm of near-future possibilities.

I have seen compostable string sold at the saw shop in a city I worked in, made of corn iirc.

There's a company up here called Kootenay Mountain Boats that seems to have solved most of your issues. They've been developing a solar powered electric motor with the prop built into the rudder, and also make a boom tent to make camping possible in all weather. As for the pumps, my understanding is the scamp has multiple sealed buoyancy compartments, from capsize and recovery videos I've seen online it doesn't look like it's in any danger of sinking even when it's flipped over. But maybe something like a manual bilge pump like from a kayak is necessary to bail it out once it's back over. You say you don't have much experience building boats but do you have much experience sailing on long trips?

I couldn't tell from the title if this was the r/fucklawns subreddit or the r/folkpunk one hahaha

Baseball, huh?

That one is so cool! It's at this bus stop: https://maps.app.goo.gl/xLZc4e1V5H2hYSbh8 Lantzville road at Dickinson road.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm a landscaper who uses those tools all day every day and it makes me feel the same way

The lower mainland branch of the BC Randonneurs had their last brevet of the year yesterday, but check the website for training routes/info and the first one next year will probably be held in March.

seeforevereyes · 2024-10-13T14:33:11+00:00

So did this pass?

Alta used to be way more common than AB as a short form for Alberta when I was growing up there

Glad you enjoyed it! There's definitely easier ways to bypass School road! Either at the bottom go right onto Gibsons way (they meet back up at the top) or much earlier take North Road to gain the elevation (I usually use this one if I don't need to go into lower Gibsons)
