> It is the young people that are growing up conditioned to press accept
There is a similar story with Ford and how they build pavement everywhere and taught the young population that roads are for cars. Now we have to drive for 10 minutes to get from one shop on the plaza to another shop on the different plaza.
It was the bikes who fought for pavement everywhere. Cars took it all over. Mud is annoying to walk it, but otherwise humans handle bare dirt just fine.
The Romans built roads across Europe instead of mud paths two thousand years before bikes were invented. Humans might be able to cross dry compacted dirt, but do much better on engineered roads than on deep, wet, sticky, slippy mud, even before thinking about carts and wagons.
On that page it's mentioned that Macadam (predecessor to tarmac) was used in the USA in 1823 on a stretch of road of 10 miles which took stagecoaches 5 hours to pass in the winter before it was Macadamized, suggesting quite a desire for better roads a century before safety bicycles with chains were invented.
Then 'History of the bicycle' says:
"On the new macadam paved boulevards of Paris it was easy riding ... the "bone-shaker" enjoyed only a brief period of popularity in the United States, which ended by 1870. here is debate among bicycle historians about why it failed in the United States, but one explanation is that American road surfaces were much worse than European ones, and riding the machine on these roads was simply too difficult."
"The Good Roads Movement occurred in the United States between the late 1870s and the 1920s... a coalition between farmers' organizations groups and bicyclists' organizations .. Early organizers cited Europe where road construction and maintenance was supported by national and local governments."
Those road function more like hiways. I'm not arguing paved roads are not or didn't exist. I'm saying that many smaller roads would not have been paved.
I'm using obsidian and cryfs. Nothing has access to those except a few programs. I'm storing notes, files, documents, whatever is important and everything is synced to the cloud.
I do, but isn't that fun? And even if their conversation would degrade and spiral into absurd blabbering about cosmic oneness or whatever, would it be great, comic and tragic to witness?
A Ukrainian refugee is permitted to work immediately after confirmation of their refugee status, which usually occurs within a short period of time. The duration of recognition of specific work qualifications is the problem.
I eat so much vitamin d and omega 3 i should be shitting fish shitting sunshine... and yet, cold baltic winters with only a few hours of sun still make me depressed.
And I can tell Windows search to not index some directories. Like node_module with a million small files I don't want to search in anyway except with grep.
Perhaps if macs let you configure Spotlight to ignore some directories you could tell it to ignore the entire disk? Which would disable it in practical terms.
Not a fan of Spotlight here too. But, you certainly can instruct Spotlight to ignore some directory or drive through System Preferences > Spotlight and selecting the Privacy tab in it which allows you to add the directory or drive that you want Spotlight to not index.
