You can see in the attached photo. This makes the inside door unable to open. Who can explain, investigate and or repair this? // Matt

Re: [sudo-discuss] Brand SynBio Vanilla Flavor Competition

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

Hey Ali, I'm skeptical given the lack of cited references that can help us determine if there are detrimental elements or aspects worth further investigation of this new vanilla. I will say I have great respect for some of the work of Friends of the Earth (we can also thank them for our board room table, wall-mounted steel cabinets and a few other items of furniture that Tracy, Marina, and my brother retrieved), and if Patrik's assessment is true, I would be very much inclined to get back in touch with them and help build a better pipeline for assessing the environmental threats and impacts of new technology developments and corporate maneuvers. This being said, I would be more inclined to engage in creative work as resistance of: (A) Proprietary, exclusive knowledge of the building blocks and patterns of life. (B) An exploitative practice that directly and negatively affects workers. (C) An unfair abuse of the commons. (D) The use of genetic modification to fuel industrial farming that limits biodiversity, maintains corporate exclusive rights regimes (enforced in the courts), and introduces large-scale changes in the practice of agriculture. I believe in these circumstances, private interests unjustly are held above that of the commons and of the people of Earth. // Matt ----- Reply message ----- From: "ali" <ali(a)riseup.net> To: <sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org> Subject: [sudo-discuss] Brand SynBio Vanilla Flavor Competition Date: Mon, Jan 27, 2014 15:39 hey everyone, i'm very new to the worlds of the sudo room but i thought that there might be interest in this design competition on this listserv. http://www.etcgroup.org/vanilla-competition unfortunately the deadline is in 5 days, but hey, grants have been won in less time! best, ali _______________________________________________ sudo-discuss mailing list sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org http://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/sudo-discuss

Re: [sudo-discuss] super focus club

by johanna faust

dude, wait, what? i have never thought that this would be impossible at sudo, and in fact have acheived it, albeit not upstairs, and not for longer than forty five minutes at a time. still in the cherished image i have formed in my heart of hearts this is what sudo is *for*, so how could it not be possible there? remind me to tell y'all the oddly haunting joke about "spoiledmilktown" -- it pertains. in any event, why not bring the force of all the tech know how we have to bear upon the issue? create a cone of silence with white noise makers and or fans aimed crossways along the perimeter of whatever platonic shape describes our raum zum schärfen eigenen Gedanken, or is it eigenen Scharfengedankenraum? God bless google translate. this employs the incredible silencing qualities of the stream of noise at tangent to the area to be protected. works wonders, even at noisy parties, and not as uncomfortable as earplugs. then there are always earplugs. alternately, could we not soundproof a small section, with a pad of paper outside where notes describing what no doubt emerged of importance may be recorded for eventual delivery to & retrieval by their Sudoer Of Interest? > > > On 1/25/14, Romy Ilano <romy(a)snowyla.com> wrote: >> well my point wasn't that I would come to SudoRoom and do only working >> and >> not talk to anyone.

Re: [sudo-discuss] hacking broken ankles (knee scooters, etc)

by Jake

oh no romy that sucks! well, people used to use prosthetic legs which were basically a lower leg that you kneel on top of. so picture an upside-down L and your bad leg is bent at the knee 90 degrees. your lower leg is strapped onto the top part of the upside down L. you put a bunch of padding on the top, and use padding on the back of your calf, and then you can wear it for hours and walk on it just fine. people whose feet or legs were chopped below the knee walked around on such things their whole life. like this: http://gajitz.com/running-start-temporary-prosthetic-for-lower-leg-injuries/

Recommended OSM app for Android?

by Vicky Knox

Help! I am lost in a never-ending list of OpenStreetMap apps showcased on their wiki <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android>! Does anyone here have any recommendations for a particular one? I have two requirements: no proprietary software and yes navigation functionality (BONUS: topographic features). I would also be down to team up with interested parties to split the task of doing a systematic review of all apps listed. w00t! yiVkc
