1.
Shelter in the Rain
A couple huddles under a green bottle cap propped up like an umbrella. The miniature figures stand on a rain-drenched surface, their delicate scale contrasting with the oversized texture of the metal cap.
2.
Blue Kiss
Two tiny lovers embrace beneath a blue bottle cap held aloft like a romantic umbrella. The background is softly blurred, focusing attention on their intimate moment.
3.
Spilled Rapids
A tipped-over cup spills its contents, becoming a rushing river for two tiny kayakers. The creative twist turns an accidental mess into an action-packed adventure.
4.
Beach Break
Two tiny vacationers lounge under a Thai beer bottle cap that serves as a beach umbrella, complete with folding chairs and a backdrop of real ocean and mountains.
5.
Big Proposal
A man kneels to propose with a candy ring, repurposed as a massive engagement ring for his tiny partner. The Houses of Parliament rise in the distance.
6.
Picnic by the Van
A miniature family enjoys a roadside picnic beside a classic green and white VW camper. Spread out on a cloth, their meal unfolds at the foot of a real boulder.
7.
Crime Scene
Dressed in hazmat suits, miniature forensic investigators examine a discarded cigarette butt as though it were the scene of a major crime.
By shrinking the human experience to fit the cracks of the sidewalk, Slinkachu reveals just how big small moments can feel. His miniature art invites us to pause, laugh, and look closer at the overlooked corners of our cities.

Just rode Waymo through a crowed hilly part of SF. It was excellent. Missed having a driver, but the two Lyft rides we took were a guy who didn’t speak English, and a very confused young woman who told us crazy beliefs she had for 20 minutes.
Professional drivers - trucks, fork lifts, ride service, delivery service are all on the robotics/AI chopping block.

Software for Homeserver router combo
!Selfhosted - I've just bought a #BananaPi R3. As an avid user of #Openwrt and #Yunohost I'm thinking that it would make sense to have the capabilities of both on that device since it has space for an #SSD - Does any one know of any projects that are bringing the features of both types of services together into one solution. i.e a lightweight home server and configurable router in one?
Generally speaking I would avoid combining critical networking infrastructure with other services. Just from a reliability standpoint.
Let your router be just a router. Simple = reliable.

Giant battery: first stage of Ruakākā Energy Park switched on
New Zealand's first super-sized grid-connected battery - built at a cost of $186 million - will help improve Northland's energy resilience in future power outages, Meridian Energy says.The company said its Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) would also help smooth out power peaks and troughs, by storing energy when electricity is cheap and releasing it at times of peak demand, such as early mornings and evenings.
The battery park consisted of 80 shipping-container-sized batteries spread over a two-hectare site at Marsden Point, next the former oil refinery south of Whangārei.
Project director Alan de Lima said at full capacity the giant battery could supply 100 megawatts (MW) of power, enough for 60,000 homes or about half Northland's population, for two hours.
It had been connected to the grid since the beginning of the year and would start operating as soon as final tests had been signed off.
It was also stage one of Meridian's planned Ruakākā Energy Park.
Stage two would involve building a $227m 130MW solar farm, with 250,000 panels spread over 172ha of land next to the battery.
Work was due to start in August with power expected to start flowing in early 2027.

I somehow had no idea that was what they were doing there. Interesting! Climate change plus neglected infrastructure is going to = more power outages for sure.

Batteries will be a great way to cover peak shortfalls.
Pumped hydro might have been a better way, rather than all that battery manufacturing, but I haven't given up hope on the pumped hydro yet.

I don't know much about pumped hydro but it sounds good!
This is really dumb of me but I just realized someone tried to describe this battery facility to me and I somehow thought they were talking about this fish farm.

Pumped hydro is basically pumping the water from a hydro dam back to the top of the dam to be used again. It's basically a form of battery, use energy on days when you have too much so that you have water in your hydro lakes for days when you don't have enough power.
The incoming government cancelled it pretty early on, I think this long term thinking was getting in the way of tax cuts.

Pumped hydro sounds super useful! There's no hydro in Northland but if it had a better infrastructure there is room for geothermal and solar.
Is there an active geothermal area in Northland? I once saw a proposal to use forestry slash in combination with geothermal. Use the slash as fuel to get the geothermal heated water up to the next level for better power generation, then capture the CO2 and pump it underground. I think this is the article I read.
I think Northland has a lot of forestry, so if you have geothermal you could do this idea!
How NZ could become a world leader in decarbonisation using forestry and geothermal technology
Our research shows NZ’s potential to burn forestry waste and capture the emissions in geothermal wells. But we’ll need new partnerships between power generators, manufacturers and the forestry sector.The Conversation
Fascinating out of the box idea. It does have geothermal at Ngawha which is relatively near a forestry and could be expanded significantly.
While looking for that website I just stumbled on a tiny, rickety old hydro station
so turns out I was wrong about that!

Opened in 2020! Your link also says "The Ngāwhā geothermal field is the only high temperature geothermal resource in New Zealand, outside the Taupo Volcanic Zone." so I think I'm allowed to be surprised 😅
While looking for that website I just stumbled on a tiny, rickety old hydro station so turns out I was wrong about that!
It can be fascinating reading the list of power stations in NZ.
I noticed one that's believed to be one of the oldest continually operating hydroelectric plants in the world. Mokopeka, since 1891. Some photos here.
That's so cool! I love old "modern" tech like old subways etc.
That list really is fascinating. Thank you Dave you always give me something to dive into! I get the sense that we are way under-utilizing solar.
Solar has got a lot cheaper recently, and big projects take time. But they are happening now!
That list of power stations has 8 operational solar fars and another 18 proposed/in development!

Its horses for courses. Pumped hydro is great in areas with suitable terrain and for longer term storage. In other areas / applications batteries make sense. NZ is of course capital constrained. It would be great to do everything altogether all at once but its a journey right and you have to bring people along with you.
There is also a weird effect with new tech where delaying actually makes economic sense if costs are going down so you get the most bang for your buck by holding off for a bit.
