It is extremely difficult to construct a practical case against this position. Net Zero is now as much about patriotism as it is about climate change.

Meme. Drawing of a medieval merchant with his cart. He has a gray beard, and a wide-brimmed brown hat that is flat on top. Various pouches hang from his belt. We'll call him Vestabeaux. It's what his mother would have done if she'd thought of it.

Vestabeaux is standing in front of a handcart or small wagon with enormous wheels. It is loaded down with goods, including what look like large bagels or donuts, and maybe a basket of sticks. Is is on his way to the annual donut festival at St. Albans? We'll say "yes." The cart's wheels are taller than the man. 

Vestabeaux is leaning on his medieval Big Wheel with one arm, and has the other hand on his hip. He is looking somewhat put out, as if there's a dead walrus in the path in front of him, and he's not sure how to proceed. It's going to be really hard to get those big wheels over a walrus carcass. But if he doesn't, all the children of St. Albans (let alone the monks!) will be donutless, and tearful.

Fear not! The resolve in our man's face says he won't let that happen.

Meme text reads:
"Pay to sell?
That's eelogical!"

It's 1400. You've got a cartload of eels to sell in London. Time to get rich!

Hold up there, hoss! London charges import taxes on your eels. You've got to pay The Man:

Murage fees: 10 d./1000 eels
Customs: 2 d./cart

THEN you can start raking in those sweet eel profits!

Yup. All the time. An astronomical amount of cash gets wasted trying to hammer square pegs in round holes because “square pegs are cheaper”.

Spiders in the Colima culture of ancient West Mexico (ca. 300 BC – 600 AD) were significant symbolic figures often depicted in terracotta zoomorphic vessels. These ceramic pieces, commonly found in shaft tombs, suggest that spiders held a complex, likely supernatural, role in their cosmology, connecting the earthly realm with the underworld.
Spiders are frequently represented in burial contexts, suggesting they functioned as protective entities or spiritual guardians for the deceased in the shaft tombs.
Similar to other Mesoamerican traditions, the spider was seen as a "weaver" of reality, representing the creative force and the ability to rebuild or transform, often linked to the cycles of life and death.
n broader pre-Hispanic contexts, including the nearby, roughly contemporary cultures in Peru (Cupisnique), spider imagery is closely associated with water, rain, and fertility, acting as a deity that brings necessary life forces.

Ruwbouw nieuw metrostation Toots Thielemans klaar, heraanleg Stalingradlaan vanaf najaar De heraanleg van de Stalingradlaan langs het Zuidpaleis, kan vanaf komend najaar van start gaan. Dat is nu mogelijk, omdat de ruwbouw van het nieuwe metrostation Toots Thielemans klaar is.

The old tunnel and the new: trams will eventually take parallel tracks between Midi and Anneessens. Meanwhile structural work (but not the connecting tunnel) is complete at the Toots Thielemans premetro station. It's so well named. This is city-planning as improv jazz.

Agree totally. During WWIl look at the guts of those merchant marine officers & sailors who ran the gauntlet in the Atlantic Convoys, North Cape Convoys & Malta Convoys! I can't believe the Western Powers are taking this attitude!

I saw someone suggest the other day that as the US is one of the largest oil producers and they’ve effectively seized Venezuelan oil, this Iran thing is beneficial as it’s forcing the price of oil through the roof. And as their oil doesn’t need exporting via the Gulf, Russia is woods in too….
