As is known, in standard neighborhoods in the USA, it’s not customary to put up fences. Mainly because they spoil the appearance of the town, thereby reducing the price of the individual home and diminishing the overall “premiumness” of the location. Also, in many places, it is not allowed to grow vegetables and fruits in the backyard. However, when it is allowed, the backyard is often fenced off from animals, because they eat and trample everything before it can ripen for the owners.

We recently visited some acquaintances, and they have a garden in their backyard.

And I learned that from deer—which are quite plentiful everywhere around here—the minimum fence height is 2 meters 10 cm. Otherwise, they easily jump over it simply out of curiosity to see what’s behind it.

Musk has announced the presentation of a working device—a brain-computer interface called Neuralink. It will be shown on Friday at 15:00 Pacific Time (01:00 on Saturday Moscow Time). Should be interesting.

For those who do not know what this is (very long read) https://hi-news.ru/technology/neuralink-ilona-maska-chast-pervaya-koloss-chelovecheskij.html

Recommend good nonfiction/popular science books: biology, physics, mathematics, linguistics, design, maybe history. Since the goal is to compile an order for purchasing in Russian bookstores, the main focus is on must-reads that cannot be bought in electronic form and/or in English. The last time I stocked up, I got three books by Asya Kazantseva (read them), “From Atoms to the Tree” by Sergey Yastrebov – cool book, Nora Gal “The Living and the Dead Word” (still reading), “Mysteries of Sleep” by Poluektov (almost finished), “The Origin of Language” by Burlak (reading, it’s hefty), “Entertaining Theory of Probability” (reading). Lately, I’ve been into English-language books (finishing Deadliest Enemy by Michael T. Osterholm, really cool), which is why these are lagging, but in a couple of weeks, there will be an opportunity to buy books in Russia and I don’t want to miss the chance. Already looking at nonfiction from the “Corpus” publishing house, the “Enlightener” award library, “Alpina Non-fiction”. I’d appreciate recommendations.

Lisa has gone off to college, now at nights I not only draw but also miss her. It is known, having one marker, one can draw everything except the marker itself. With two markers, you can draw absolutely everything! Lisa took her markers, so I had to buy a dozen #markersatwork #daughterleftbehind

Could you please provide the content you would like to have translated into English?

How charming, there’s a table with two benches

Walking around the lake, snapping photos

Liza went off to college, now I draw at night

Moved Lisa into Virginia Tech today! Now she’s a real student (almost! Waiting for classes to start). Details inside 🙂

Where is the French nuclear power station located? There is a particular charm in the fact that there is a program in Belgium to phase out nuclear energy by the year 2025.
