Weekly Digest 2
Links
- Reviving rural railways with Monocab. This transport technology looks really cool. I can’t see it coming the Britain any time soon (our network is still largely non-electrified), but with public ownership of the railways just around the corner according to Starmer, who knows.
- A Lesson From the Gymnasium. I enjoyed this post from Greg Morris sharing some wisdom from Marcus Aurelius.
- CNN disgraces itself over Gaza. Owen Jones continuing to expose the media over its coverage of the atrocity in Gaza.
- Simple, non-commercial, open source notes. I saw this when it first came out but was reminded of it earlier and how great it is. For those who love plaintext note-taking solutions — a highly entertaining trip down a rabbit hole.
Cooking
- Vegan Lachmajou. One of my favourite recipes. Super quick, high protein, with simple ingredients. Enjoy with flatbread, hummous, and a salad of finely diced tomatoes, cucumber, and perhaps vegan feta.
Up to much else?
- I’ve been coding this week in my free time, so there’s not a lot of stuff here. I’ll be posting what I made soon.
- Finished laying plywood upstairs. Next is to get down the underlay.
- Did gardening for the first time. Dug out a space and put in a raised bed.
- Crossword is nearly finished, hoping to publish soon.
- Next week I’m running an Only Connect quiz at school.
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading.
