I don't know who needs this information, but Netflix has a 6-episode Spanish murder mystery, "City of Shadows," that centers on Gaudi's buildings in Barcelona. With locations like this, the plot barely matters.

A couple years ago on the last day of school my neighbor had a bunch of her friends over playing badminton in the street and it was loud. I closed my window and let them be.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The best antidote to doom and despair is getting out in your community if you are able to and working towards something positive. Not everything has to be about fighting fascism directly. Simply building better and stronger communities is a worthy endeavor.

Context is US courts have ruled that standards organizations like the ICC lose their copyright on codes and standards once they are adopted into law, under the logic that you cannot copyright the law. ICC and others are trying to change that with the Pro Codes Act, which might make UpCodes illegal.

If you are visiting here from X because the CSAM thing was a bridge too far, welcome. I'd encourage you to carefully consider whether the things you heard about Bluesky on X are true or whether they were lies spread by the guy who owns X who controls what posts you see on his site.

The Inventor Of The Little Arrow That Tells You What Side The Fuel Filler Is On Has Died - Jalopnik

N+1 bike alert! I got the green light to buy a MTB for my Christmas present, but Iām not really sure where to start. Last time I went mountain biking was almost 15 years ago on a Raleigh M40 hardtail. Probably very underbiked for what I was riding (mostly single track on Moscow Mtn).

Finally getting around to working on some language for sustainable design criteria I've been too busy to work on the past 6 months. I'm begging jurisdictions to stop creating programs that amount to arbitrary or capricious requirements that do very little to improve your building's sustainability.

People's safety is a higher priority than creditors' balance sheets. Rad's filing lists $32.1 million in assets. Compensating customers who were sold unsafe batteries needs to come first, then the creditors can recover what's left.

The demolition of the East Wing is, in my estimation, preservation's January 6th moment. There is no going back to the old understanding. The elite consensus is dead, and the politics that were always in the background now have to be openly contested.

The only thing that has ever stood in the way of the president building a big gaudy ballroom, is an understanding that the powerful would defer to self-appointed experts. And now we see what a bad system that was.

I'm not really an aviation guy, but on my walk with my dog this morning I saw an interesting looking airplane flying overhead. It was gone by the time I could get to some binoculars but I'm pretty sure it was this electric engine model from Beta Technologies.
