One thing as a dev I don’t see people mentioning often is like… I’ve been stuck in ideation mode, since building isn’t the bottle neck anymore.

For my Americans who are facing a snow storm

Out of all the Davos stuff the 🇨🇦 Canadian one was 🎯 The power of the less power starts with honesty. It seems that every day we're reminded that we live in an era of great power rivalry, that the rules based order is fading, that the strong can do what they can, and the weak must suffer what they must. And this aphorism of Thucydides is presented as inevitable, as the natural logic of international relations reasserting itself. And faced with this logic, there is a strong tendency for countries to go along to get along, to accommodate, to avoid trouble, to hope that compliance will buy safety. Well, it won't. So, what are our options? In 1978, the Czech dissident Václav Havel, later president, wrote an essay called The Power of the Powerless, and in it, he asked a simple question: how did the communist system sustain itself? And his answer began with a greengrocer. Every morning, this shopkeeper places a sign in his window: ‘Workers of the world unite’. He doesn't believe it, no-one does, but he places a sign anyway to avoid trouble, to signal compliance, to get along. And because every shopkeeper on every street does the same, the system persist – not through violence alone, but through the participation of ordinary people in rituals they privately know to be false. Havel called this “living within a lie”. The system's power comes not from its truth, but from everyone's willingness to perform as if it were true, and its fragility comes from the same source. When even one person stops performing, when the greengrocer removes his sign, the illusion begins to crack. Friends, it is time for companies and countries to take their signs down. For decades, countries like Canada prospered under what we called the rules-based international order. We joined its institutions, we praised its principles, we benefited from its predictability. And because of that, we could pursue values-based foreign policies under its protection. We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false that the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient, that trade rules were enforced asymmetrically. And we knew that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused or the victim. You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration, when integration becomes the source of your subordination.

I’ve been sourcing replacement parts for a couple months but today its finaly hitting the workbench for this 1969 les paul custom: - replacing pokerchip - replacing toggle switch - replacing truss rod cover - bridge has sagged ( replacing ) - tailpiece is flaking ( replacing ) - replacing studs - replacing knobs to with hats 🧙 - add thumb bleeders 🩸 - put straplocks in original place - probably replace the nut 🥜 - frets level & recrown - Add pickup covers ? ( probably not ) - radius fretboards - plug the other strap holes - tuners need a bit or oil 🛢️ … Ship of Theseus
