Pippin content after climbing a tree

Pippin is learning new tricks and always joins when we take a walk through the park: Ergo, Pippin is a dog.

  • Omg I know that brand, I gave it as a present to a friend of mine last weekend. Did you get a matching hoodie as well? The pictures of the dog/human combos both wearing the same colours are just astonishingly perfect.

  • In my opinion, it's always been about determinism and convergent evolution. Determinism states that if the cards were reshuffled and evolution were to take place again from the beginning, more or less the same would happen. There wouldn't be sentient octopuses or hive mind ants controlling the planet, because there are simple evolutionary pressures giving rise to features that eventually lead to more or less bipedal apes.

    This hooks into convergent evolution. This is about the fact that features like wings and eyes were so successful in terms of evolution they actually evolved independently of each other multiple times. Eyes evolved in different lineages and evolutionary pathways around 65 times during the history of earth. This indicates that simple evolutionary pressures (like needing to look around) will always end up with something that is a lens based retinal pigmented organ. This deterministic view of evolution leads many to believe that on another planet that looks like earth, inhabitants will look like us due to the rules and constraints of evolution.

    Pic I took earlier this year in Austria

    This was somewhere near Lasörling, took around 90 pictures, one of which right after sundown for the foreground. Erasing planes and satellites took me hours. This might be my best star trail picture.

  • Kind reminder that the first solar panels had an efficiency of around 10%, and are now at 22%. The cost of photovoltaics has decreased 60% over the past decade alone.

    Of course there is no 'silver bullet'. But the researchers of the original article still recommend working on projects like these.

    Tips for buying a camper in Auckland?

    Hi everyone,

    Me and my SO are flying on Monday to your beautiful country to drive around in a campervan for 3 months. We booked 3 great walks, and are super excited to check out your nature, culture, wines and dines.

    I am a little bit anxious to buying a campervan though. Like, what if takes weeks to find a good one? What if we find a good one after some days which breaks down a few days afterwards? You know, standard stuff.

    If any of you have any tips for buying a used 2-birth campervan around Auckland, I'd love you forever. Is it better to go to a dealer, or get one from Trademe or Facebook? Should we wait a few days to get the AA pre-purchase check? Which dealers are good or infamously bad?

    Thanks!
