Everything changes, right? I know we sound like curmudgeons, and perhaps AI is the next step. We are living its early infancy, the struggles and dislikes, the errors and flaws, and generations after us will simply benefit from it, and see it as natural as my children see the Internet today (it isn’t natural to me, I was born way before it).
Or maybe AI isn’t the next step. Either way, whether we like it or not, there is truly absolutely nothing (or close to) we can do. Well, complain we can, of course. :-P

The only good thing about this absolute craziness is that I can restock my rocket sticks. I picked up twelve along the way. Unfortunately, it looks like 99.999% of ammunition is bombs instead of rockets. Some sections of my street look exactly like an arbitrary Pakistanian town that I’ve seen online.
There was surprisingly much snow in the woods. Also, all ponds have frozen over. I didn’t expect that. Not at all. There were even illegal ice skating tracks in the natural reserve. We came across a large puddle and it was at least 10cm solid ice to the ground. Crazy!

Estratégia Nacional de Adaptação Climática sem financiamento e sem calendário definidos
#ZERO alerta para desvalorização de soluções baseadas na natureza e desenquadramento da legislação que regula ordenamento do território e edificação
“A ausência destas três fundações torna a ENAAC 2030 num documento programático sem força operacional. Embora o diagnóstico climático seja atualizado e rigoroso, falta-lhe aquilo que define uma verdadeira estratégia: metas concretas, prioridades, meios, prazos e enquadramento em instrumentos jurídicos obrigatórios.
A desadequação ao estipulado na Lei de Bases do Clima é um exemplo: a lei exige que Portugal disponha de planos setoriais de adaptação para território, geografia e meio natural; infraestruturas, equipamentos e meio construído; e atividades económicas, sociais e culturais., mas todos, que deveriam ter sido aprovados até ao final de 2023, são omissos. A sua inexistência e a completa ausência de calendarização na ENAAC 2030 fragilizam todo o edifício da política nacional de adaptação.”

I had no meetings this arvo, so I made an appointment with the woods in my extended lunch break. The 6°C warm sun was out all day long and there was only a very light breeze. So, a very nice autumn day.
When I stopped to take a photo in the forest, a deer behind me took off into the woodland. I didn’t see it before. Also, I came across one or the other clearing. Sadly, it’s all commercial timberland here. Luckily, in a year or so, when nature slowly took over and reclaimed some spots, the apocalyptic sites are then looking a bit more decent again.
Cleaning of the ruin walls on my backyard mountain slowly takes shape. They made some progress and moved on to the other section. The flag on top is halfway disintegrated again, all the yellow half is completely gone. I’m wondering if they just stop replacing it at some point in time. But probably not.
