Okay, this is my personal news—it’s all incredibly important, so bear with me.
The spring is here
Winter kept coming and coming and here we are.
My beloved headphones Quantum 400 unglued
They can be glued back but the consumerist in me wants a new pair of some other headphones with a cable. Here’s a full update. In case you use some very good wired headphones under $200, please drop a comment.
Walking shoes++
I wrote an enthusiastic post about Nike Wildhorse 8 in September 2024. Since then, I switched to a pair of very comfortable Grisport boots, and now to a pair of simple and cheap Adidas sneakers. The second pair of Wildhorse 8 lasted about 3 months of intense walking before it started disintegrating and causing pain at the same time. That was disappointing and I’m done with Nike Trail.
The pigeon mystery is now solved
Two weeks ago I posted about a pigeon gathering I see almost daily. Here’s a solution to why these pigeons stay where they stay.
The pigeon paradise is because of a food and water source, and they’re also protected from cat attacks because of all the cars around.
I unfollowed the Starship development
I consider myself a rocket and space travel nerd and I watched most of the Starship flights live. I don’t want to see more of this Musk dude, I want less. His flying Pepelats is cool in principle but we kind of need healthy competition and some reality checks.

Same concerning these Musk industries everywhere. I’m done with them, too…

It’s sad, the pepelats looked so promising. Twitter was a nice social media. But that’s all past tense.

Driving to work on Saturday I went past a Tesla that looked like someone dropped a bucket of blood on it. I don’t know if it was a wrap or vandalism, but it about summed up my feelings as well.

Sure, the sad part is that it was people who fight climate change who buy these cars, not the maga fans.

Ohh, not here. I’m in Reno, near a Tesla plant, in a town full of a bunch of right-wingnuts. Some got them at first for the technology, but most of the people who drive them now couldn’t care less about the planet. They buy them as a show of political support, and they are EVERYWHERE. Yesterday my friend referred to one of the tin trucks as a “Neo-Panzer.”
