#Haushaltstipp: #Wäsche / #Frosttrocknung / #Sublimierung
Ich bin ein großer Fan von: #Winter und #Wäschetrocknung draußen. Das liegt u.a. daran, daß ich vom physikalischen Prozess der Sublimierung völlig begeistert bin. Kann ich nur empfehlen. 👍
Wichtig ist, dass du den Prozess der Sublimierung nicht unterbrichst und die Wäsche nicht zu früh wieder reinholst. Im gefrorenen Zustand kann die Wäsche durch unachtsames Anfassen beschädigt werden, da Fasern brechen – oder sie bleibt einfach nass. Gedulde dich also ein wenig. Wind kann dazu beitragen, dass deine Wäsche schneller trocknet. Probiere bei Minusgraden einfach mal aus, deine Wäsche im Freien trocknen zu lassen.
- Beim Frosttrocknen gefriert die Wäsche zwar zunächst, anschließend trocknet sie aber.
- Dieser Prozess nennt sich Sublimierung. Das gefrorene Wasser geht, ohne zu schmelzen, direkt in den gasförmigen Zustand über.
- Dies geschieht unter der Bedingung, dass die Luft der Umgebung eine geringe Luftfeuchtigkeit hat was bei Minusgraden der Fall ist.
- Also kann die trockene Luft die Feuchtigkeit aus der Wäsche aufnehmen, das Gewaschene verliert im Umkehrschluss seine Feuchtigkeit und trocknet. Diesen Effekt hast du vielleicht schon einmal beim Herausnehmen von Obst oder Gemüse aus dem Tiefkühlschrank beobachtet, wenn die Tiefkühlkost dann zu dampfen anfängt.

#arte sucks ... a Lars von Trier #movie only available from 11pm until 6am in the morning: showing a drowned donkey and some not so explicit sex scenes...
and now the #serie #utopia ... #sci-fi Ok - quite brutal - but do these old people are still working in #assisted-viewing
it's from 2013 - funny that they talk about a fabricated virus named Covad ;)
any kiddy can evade this restriction looking for it in the web - even a sextagenarian like me...

Dark Matter Gears
Damn that was hard and long. While the idea of dark matter is hypothetical and speculative I came with the idea of painting it as gears supporting galaxies. The original picture in my head was way much darker. I feel like I mess with the background ...
The gears also refer to the voltaire's idea of an autonomous universe, tuned like a clock and left alone by god.

We Own The Sun
This one was way too long to draw. I'm getting too ambitious when it comes to digital painting now ... Yet I feel like it worse the hardwork, I'm quite happy with the final result. Made with TheGimp, obviously ;)

What does #ElonMusk want? What is his vision of the future? These questions are of enormous importance because the decisions that Elon Musk makes — unilaterally, undemocratically, inside the relatively small bubble of out-of-touch tech billionaires — will very likely have a profound impact on the world that you and I, our children and grandchildren, end up living in. #Musk is currently the richest person on the planet and, if only by virtue of this fact, one of the most powerful human beings in all of #history. What he wants the future to look like is, very likely, what the future for all of humanity will end up becoming.
This is why it's crucial to unravel the underlying normative worldview that has shaped his actions and public statements, from founding #SpaceX and #Neuralink to complaining that we are in the midst of "a demographic disaster" because of under-population, to trying — but, alas, failing — to purchase #Twitter, the world's most influential social #media platform.

Realism Bites
A common response to progressive or utopian ideas is "That's not realistic." Witting or not, the "realism" underlying this perspective is a crucial strategy for protecting the power of the powerful. In our modern capitalist society, realism protects the power of the plutocratic overclass, the small minority of the population that controls a disproportionate amount of the wealth, and thereby comes to dominate and profit from more and more aspects of our society and everyday lives. And if "realism" does THAT, I think people who believe in democracy will agree that realism bites.
The realist, in any given society, is expressing the "common sense" that keeps the powers that be in power. On what authority is there a limit on what humans working together could possibly do? The "authority" is ultimately a restriction of imagination cultivated by the forces of societal inertia and power protection. Restricted imagination is the flip side of an unquestioning faith that the way we are now, or could be with some key reforms, is pretty much all we can be. Together, restricted imagination and naive faith create the delusion that we are not free, that we are pre-limited in what we can possibly do. So it's really perfectly obvious that "realism" functions to protect the authority of the status quo; anything that would challenge the arrangements by which the powerful wield power is to be considered impossible, unimaginable, not "realistic." Realism draws a line in the sand and says we are not free to cross it. That's authoritarianism!
(Another point worth noting about the "that's not realistic" response is that by changing the focus of the issue from 'what would be better' to 'what is possible,' the realist is effectively conceding that the "unrealistic" idea proposed would be an improvement if it was "realistic." Either that or he's obscuring, perhaps unintentionally, a deeper, more profound question of the morality of our politics and society and everyday life. [The question being whether the way we are now is the best way to be, or whether there are other, perhaps radically different ways we could be and survive and have better, more free and responsible lives.])
By purporting to put a boundary at the limits of the possible, "realism" plays a significant role in maintaining our unfree way of life in which a vast majority of the people are trapped as credit-serfs and wage-slaves in a dead-end, materialistic, authoritarian society, ruled by a plutocratic overclass that is trashing the globe and treats the vast majority as resources for wealth extraction and power concentration (rather than as human beings equally deserving of using their freedom and power to think, talk, and work with others to organize their societies and lives as they best see fit in voluntarily-associating groups of like-minded people). (It seems indisputable that the plutocratic overclass doesn't treat the majority of citizens the way the golden rule demands; in other words, the plutocratic overclass does not act in accord with the basic principles of morality and democracy.)
Whatever is defining a boundary of "realism" is exactly what needs to be exorcised, uprooted, critiqued, and rejected in favor of freedom over authority. In a free society, there will be no distinction between realism and idealism, and people will intentionally avoid being tied down by status quo concepts of what is possible.
Once you see that your sense of what is realistic is a product and captive of the powers that be, you are free to move on. And only by freeing your sense of the possible, understanding that our way of life is just one of innumerable possible ways of organizing human life, can you see your way back to the clearing from which all possible paths, including true democracy, start.
[Afterpoint 1: Is there any good reason for people who believe in democracy to fight with the plutocrats and their spitlickles over the boundary of what is "realistic"? Instead, maybe we should accept the boundary they lay down and then move to other side! Leave them behind in the only reality we democracy-believers will define as not possible: the status quo reality where we are serfs and slaves in an authoritarian society run by and for a plutocratic ruling class!]
[Afterpoint 2: Sometimes people appeal to "human nature" as some sort of realism block on the human ability to create better societies. It is important to recognize that appeals to human nature are not really argument – whatever someone means by human nature is only his "faith" that humans are some particular way, beliefs he will assert are "just so" even though he cannot back them up with reasoned argument applied to convincing evidence. The fact is human beings have always been too different, too diverse, both within and across populations, to claim that the kinds of societies we could possibly construct are somehow limited by some underlying, inescapable "nature." Any argument that cites human nature as a limit on the human capacity to create free democratic societies is bogus and a strategy (witting or not) to avoid dealing with the profound moral questions at the root of our way of life.]

The longer I think about "Brave New World", the more unsure I am if Huxley really wrote a dystopia.
Today's youth seem to favour just such a world, and the media confirm me in this. Drugs should be legalized. Influencers promote Gucci and Prada for everyone. Netlix for passive entertainment in free time and Tinder for all you can f*ck. The fact that there are limited resources and that peace does not rule everywhere does not play a role for Huxley, but otherwise there is little that really speaks against the 'Brave New World'.

In einem Paralleluniversum mit echter grüner #Politik steht folgendes auf der #Tagesordnung:
Einführung einer Viertagewoche, um die #Produktion zum #Klimaschutz zu reduzieren.
Ein weiterer positiver Effekt ist wäre laut Regierungssprecher, dass die Bevölkerung sich besser von der psychischen #Belastung durch die #Pandemie erholen könnte.
Leider haben wir nur Leute in der angeblich grünen Ampelregierung, die längst vergessen haben was die grünen Gründungsideale waren... :(
