Ermine (Mustela erminea)

Despite its fluffy appearance, this small carnivore can amass dozens of kills for eating later. Its long, lean, active body burns so many calories that it must stay fueled to survive. It prefers to hunt mammals but won’t turn down fish, eggs, birds, frogs, or insects, given the opportunity. During the winter, it turns white for camouflage.

I feel like I need to write a “real” project in Zig sometime cuz as much as people complain about Rust fans, the Zig fans seem even more obnoxious than these supposedly (I haven’t seen one personally) obnoxious Rust fans are 🤣

周りの友だちがむちゃくちゃHANAを聴いてるから、今年はHANAとちゃんみなの名前を色んなところで耳にしたんだけど、ちゃんみなは去年リナ・サワヤマとThis Hellのリミックス曲を出してて(feat. CHANMINA - Gyarupi Remix)、LGBT+コミュニティの権利についてもすごく前向きなアーティストなんだよー、ということを友人たちにずっと伝えそびれてた。
今年の忘れ物としてここに投稿しておこう。

就像我在回顧說的,現代商業、科技跟政治的討論,有數個有關的觀點需要一起被認真看待,所以獨立為一篇文章。

人跟技術、跟社會的互動,從來都不是一件容易談的事情,我以前也遇過朋友堅持企業老闆並非不明白他們已造成的損害,那麼假設他們認為這些損害的後果是秩序的消滅與革命,那他們選擇讓這些功能失調延續可以說是「合理」的選擇。

經濟學最讓人著迷的是,他們總是可以在局部解釋各種事物,而交織成的結果總是荒謬到讓人發笑。
