Russian Circles is so good. I saw them live not long ago. Incredible show.. I def recommend catching a live performance if you have the opportunity.
I dream of my company going to that schedule, but I don't think they ever will. It's great to see other companies shifting that way though :)
Finding another goal is a good suggestion. It's what worked for me, at least. Instead of it being about how I appeared in a mirror (which was suuuuper variable and depended a lot on my mood), it became something measurable I could easily track progress with.
Right. Like, what jobs do people think they're taking?
I had a similar experience with VRBO. My family booked way in advance to see the eclipse, and the host ended up cancelling it a couple weeks before the stay. No penalties for them. I suspect they realized they could charge way more than what we were paying.
I got absurdly upset over someone abbreviating information as "inf." recently.
There are several major problems this solves. The forests are overstocked, which is part of what leads to larger and more severe wildfire. These are live trees, and won't break down, but need to be thinned. And if the forest does burn, that dead wood needs to be removed to prevent it from burning again. This wood could break down eventually, but it makes it riskier to replant (for both the people planting, and the new seedlings).
Both of these activities are incredibly expensive, and burying the trees in a vault on site could provide a way to manage all of the wood, and pay for it.
Should wood vaults be the only solution? Probably not. And we should definitely remain skeptical as they are proven out. But proper forest management is challenging, expensive, and is often neglected (at least in the US), and I think it's overall beneficial to explore novel solutions like this.
Fuck. I almost forgot Google didn't always own YouTube...
