Howdy, grumpy old man! That makes at least two of us :)
~bartender? Coffee, please, cream and sugar, yes. And a jar of home made lemonade as well. Thank you!
Archery, playing an instrument, using a morse key, and a multitude of other things are much better appreciated or learned under the knowing eyes of a teacher/practitioner. I'm doing archery myself, and I have resisted the idea to put up a target in my back yard. I will go to the archery range and meet with my fellow mates. Plus, just as a curious path in the delicate fabric of time and space, often I am now the one with the most experience. But yes, that place is only 12km down the road.
The big web, in my not so humble opinion, is going a bit to where it came from. Before search engines were a thing, curated lists of some thing of interest were the valuable pages. And web rings. :) And I can see some of that coming back. I myself keep "good" URLs in my local journal. Otherwise I will lose them quickly. I find myself scrolling down several pages of DDG or Google results looking at the domains. E.g. if I want to look up some information about public transport in some place, I have to wade through a long list of link aggregators and other clicky or shiny things. Annoying. I do use TorBrowser to get rid of most of the bling though.
So, cheers!
May the grumpy old men have a go at the juke box!
Trombone Shorty, maybe. "The craziest Things"
If being with you means I'm being a fool, I don't mind.
With BIG speakers, please, otherwise it's not BASS enough :)
Edit:
As an example of sites in my journal:
https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/
https://www.notechmagazine.com/
someone else had mentioned them here not long ago.
Hah! I actually purchased the printed archives of Low Tech Magazine from Kris last year. They're some of my favorite bathroom reading.
