Reliability and simplicity made Minsk motorcycles a cult brand in Vietnam, which was the most extensive export market. Minsk motorcycles were among the Soviet motorcycles that were distributed by SATRA, UK, under the Minsk Saturn 125 and Cossack brand names from 1973 to 1979

Strange women lying in cities distributing bicycles is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical velodromic ceremony.

a vertical triptych of old macintosh ports. the first two photos depict a stack of macbooks from 2006, 2011, 2012, and 2024, along with two ipods for flavor, photographed from the left and right sides to show their ports. the third photo is the ports on the back of a white imac g4
inspired by the original post here:

i too can (at least kinda) demonstrate the march of port progress in my still-not-discarded mac laptops, from ~2006 to now, plus a special guest appearance.
that "stack" in the first two photos, from bottom to top, not quite oldest to newest for the sake of stability, with a left and right side view:
2006 macbok pro
2011 macbook pro
2012 macbook pro
2024 macbook air (current machine)
2011 macbook air
last-gen ipod classic (160GB)
ipod shuffle
missing in action: my 2008 white polycarbonate macbook, which was stolen in 2011, and my ipad air 4, which was sitting on the couch
and, just for shits and giggles, photo 3 is the ports on the back of my somehow-still-existing 800mhz imac G4, which i keep meaning to plug in again just to have some vibes in the spare bedroom

photograph of a handmade sketchbook bound with purple cord and a moose pattern (gold and red) on the front and back covers.
been doing some bookbinding lately. i made this sketchbook for a friend's upcoming birthday, it has partial mixed media paper and partial watercolour paper in it. i'd really like to make more! coptic stitch books are nice to make because the pages lie flat.

r/mac - Ports of MacBooks 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2021, 2024
weirdly, this makes me miss my 2008 polycarbonate mac (top of the stack). that was the one i actually lost (was stolen out of my car)
I managed to skip the generations with only USB-C ports, I am glad Apple took to their senses again.
I’m glad they re-added the MagSafe port, even with the unnecessary design changes over the years it’s a genuinely great idea.
I miss my 2012, it was still upgradeable :(
My 2019 is still barely holding on but the fan screams all the time, and the usb only is a pain.
I just bought an M3 back from IT at my last job and getting set it up this week!

I worked swing/nights when I was 18. I'd just skip sleep Friday night.
@artwells For a couple of years I worked rotating 4-12s. Four days from 6 AM to 6 PM, then four off, then four nights from 6 PM to 6 AM, four off, rinse and repeat. Trying to sleep was impossible so we all just stayed drunk.

twilight zone episode scene of man standing on library steps after the end of the world, and his glasses are broken.
my to-be-read pile keeps growing! make it stop! i need time to get through them all! i'm almost at 200 books!
Just don't do what this bloke did, and try not to break your reading glasses.
If a to-be-read list is achievable, it’s not ambitious enough.
I just watched this episode during a recent TZ marathon!

Five mac laptops stacked on top of one another and three ipads stacked on top of those. There are so many ports of various kinds facing the viewer.
Some of these are merely inherited. And some I already got rid of. I should maybe get rid of a few more.

A color photograph of two beachgoers on beach chairs under a sun umbrella (red and blue with the number 51 on it), surrounded by their strewn belongings. They are facing away from the camera and looking out over the lake. In the middle distance a child wearing a white t-shirt is on the shore. Across the lake, an enormous torrent of flame spews black smoke blotting out most of the sky.

Who else is surprised this isn't an image from a SpaceX launch?
postcards from the Anthropocene
I’ve been on that beach many times. Stark naked. The view wasn’t this spectacular, the eye watering and lung splitting smoke wasn’t present. It was just nice, vacation.

Damn I would love that one. Don't see it in their online store. Was just in the area a couple years ago, too.
They do have this one though, which would get some people wound up hereabouts...

Liam is 16 and while he’s still keeping it tight in the grooming and box departments, he’s taken to wandering the halls all night and howling like a Victorian ghost child.
“Bryan!” “Now!” “I’m Done!” Can be made out as asks to be fed and then finishes. He’s a regular Michigan J Frog, summoning spirits in a guttural bray until you came in the room where you would be met with an innocent “meow”.

Two guys moving a small hydraulic lift down a street, with Boston's Old North Church in the background. One of the guys is giving me some side-eye.
We had dinner in Boston's North End last night, and I tried to get a photo of the Old North Church, framed kind of nicely by the trees. These two guys were just moving this equipment down the street right then, and I shouted, stupidly "Hey, it's a parade!" That's what earned me this wonderful bit of side-eye.
Beautiful framing!
I love it just like it is, very Boston.
Looks like Steve's at it again... https://www.youtube.com/watch...

a blister-packed toy that looks like the white-and-red shirted waldo from the children's books. the cardback for the toy reads "WALDO CAN'T HIDE FROM HIMSELF"; to the left side an illustration of the character is saying "My regrets go with me!". below this are two small banners that read "he has done things" and "terrible things". the obviousplant logo is at the bottom of the cardback with an even tinier waldo saying "murder things"

Pretty cool IMO, shame it wasn't built.
Instead they built this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... which is a pretty cool suspension bridge. Wouldn't attract elves tho

been there. paid for that.
You only need peripherals for data ownership. You aren't allowed to own data.
for some reason, something in this photo looks not-quite-right, but i can't quite place my finger on it. like that slightly-disproportionate-stretchy oddness.
that said, i definitely have my own "laptop pile" at home with which i could recreate this whole progression.

Looking at it in full res, it actually does look a little AI-ish. Damn. I think I'll try to recreate this properly with my pile o' laptops.
@nikkuneko @gwint extra USB symbols around the ports, including the Firewire-ish ports. And I don't think Apple ever had a laptop with both FW400 and FW800 ports. Just one or the other.
Now that I think about it, I doubt Apple ever had a laptop with both Magsafe connector and full-size DVI jack, but I could be wrong on that one too. The
Magsafe arrived in 2006, the last full-size DVI on a Macbook is 2008, so there's basically just the first few Intel Macbook Pros. I'm pretty sure there weren't any who had Magsafe and full DVI on the same side of the laptop.

@bezt @ardgedee i had a (2006?) macbook pro that had a big ol' DVI port AND a magsafe IIRC, but i'll need to check when i get home. and yeah, i think it threw me because it was on the other (right) side of the machine; i think that whatever generated the images partly moved ports that were on both sides of the machines and mushed 'em together.
thanks for the sanity check, y'all!

Photo of Frtz Zwicky
Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term "dark matter" which is impressive, but healso coined the term "spherical bastard" to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and | think that should be celebrated more.

Zwicky was brilliant, but I’ll note that his observation was “astronomers are spherical bastards”, and he was very much an astronomer.
And I'll note that "spherical bastard" is variation on an older term "revolving SOB."
