A fav artist name. Right up there with "Unknown Mobile"

ʕ•͡ᴥ•ʔ

Pronounced "Pea Doh Bare"

https://www.discogs.com/artist/4233336-%CA%95%E1%B4%A5%CA%94

The label (Omena) and tracks are pretty good. In a mid-Teenies, post-dubstep, kind of way.

I'm sorry, it's just, it's been so long since I've seen a news article saying things are generally okay and I don't need to be outraged about anything. I've sort of forgotten what it feels like.

Well, don't worry: it hasn't happened yet. It is still possible that the unpredictable combination of politics and market forces will contrive to bring about a grim meat hook future that is dismal beyond our ability to comprehend.

There is no need to re-learn what it is like to feel happy.

Just yet.

Sorry, but this is just a lot of hand waving and magic spells isn't it? As an economist, if you want economics to be taken seriously aren't you supposed to be in the model business rather than the magic business?

In other words:-
* The human mind can overcome all problems
* We have yet to discover many forms of cheap energy
* The natural world doesn't matter (only humans do)
Ok. So they're suggesting a model where unlimited exponential use of energy by the whole world is possible and ok because human ingenuity will find all the alternate non-renewables, then build renewable infrastructure and then replace that with some magic technology that is permanently 30 years in the future.

Here's an example quoted from http://www.growthbusters.org

Economist: I don't think energy will ever be a limiting factor to economic growth. Sure, conventional fossil fuels are finite. But we can substitute non-conventional resources like tar sands, oil shale, shale gas, etc. By the time these run out, we'll likely have built up a renewable infrastructure of wind, solar, and geothermal energy—plus next-generation nuclear fission and potentially nuclear fusion.

The meaning of models

I do wish people would understand the meaning of "models". ISTM that when we say "at our current growth rate ... " what we're really doing is suggesting a straw man model in which exponential growth rate continues indefinitely and then arguing that is obviously impossible. When really the model is just wrong. So suggest a better model or go and investigate people who specialise in building models and testing them. Like the "Limits to Growth" people and the world3 model.

Don't you know, "The Chinese control the means of production".

No, but you hum it and I'll join in.

After "Special Forces Tourism", "Hit & Run Tourism".

Super Hi-speed: Arrive, see the attractions, take the selfies, buy the souvenirs, leave. With a side order of one night Airbnb and over-priced tourist food.

40th Anniversary.

Some times the light's all shining on me.
Sometimes I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me.
What a long strange trip it's been.

There's a lesson there. Always start with the least expensive ingredient. Then when it goes wrong or the customer changes their mind, you can always start again or just seamlessly shift into the other recipe.

Where have you got to? Just the lime? Ok. Make it a Last Word, then.

Bath, Queensberry Hotel, Olive Tree, Q Bar. Highly recommended for that special occasion.

Saturday, lunch till late. I got to do something I haven't done in ages, which is just sit at the bar and idle conversation at the end of a very indulgent 1 Michelin * lunch. The two of us, Nepalese barman, two single men.

Nepal? Going to W Nepal soon. Near Mt Kailash? Ah, a Negroni. Where you from? London. Know Bar Termini? Oh, yes, the home of weird Negronis and tiny Martinis. A 12 Mile limit please. Are you sure, sir? We're using high overproof rum. Maybe a Last Word then.

- Gloria (#3)

50ml Gin, 15ml Dry Vermouth, 7.5ml Campari, 7.5ml Cointreau, Lemon twist

I keep fiddling with the proportions. This seemed to work pretty well. Balance!
