On the efficiency of my scythe | Small Farm Future

Another great post from Chris Smaje, and how about those comments?

The reason that you see farmers nowadays with combines and not with scythes is because energy and capital are cheap, labour is dear, and most people don’t work the land. Like it or not, I think all this is going to change in the future.

I had a scythe once. I loved that thing, and the sheer joy of becoming skilled in using it and keeping it sharp.

PhD student reporting what it's like to use a Zettelkasten for the first time with my classes — Zettelkasten Forum

What this really needs, for me, is a largish piece of paper tucked into the physical book, which I have done, in the past. The insight is to procss those notes later in the day.
