My new-to-me #Meindl Perfekt #hiking boots. Changed laces after I saw the pretty examples here: magazin-zuerich.ch/vollleder-w (The red-laced ones are Super Perfekt boots, but 🤷)

Used to frequent /r/goodyearwelt, but #Reddit today is... Well. Did learn a thing or two about #boots and #shoes. A Goodyear welt is recognizable by the stitching around the sole, and makes it possible to replace them. Lengthening the life of your boots!

👀 New #permanent #job offer on #Frugal / #Green #AI 💚💚

At Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) we are looking for a #experienced #reseracher in the field of #Frugal AI.

Understood in a very broad sense: from the analysis of “frugality” of current AI models to the selection/adaptation of #models to be deployed in constrained resources (in terms of energy, memory…) depending on the client requirements as part of the design process of a new #software system with #sustainability concerns.

What is #HumbleSoup, you may ask. It's any soup you whip up quickly, usually for just one meal. Beyond that, it's up to you. It's a great way to use up #leftovers and create new flavors on the fly. It helps to keep a few things on hand, like #bonebroth or other stock, frozen vegetables, cheese, and flavors like marinara, chutney, miso, etc. Mix and match! Be adventurous. Find your own favorites. Be #frugal Post your own, use this hashtag

Our potato plants had died down already due to our cat deciding the potato bed was a nice place to lay in the sun, so we dug it over.

8kg of potatoes, an assortment of varieties called ‘stuff that was marked down at Bunnings’.

I don’t remember what we spent on the seed potatoes, but we will put the smaller and green ones back to re-seed. We can remove potatoes from our shopping list. #nobuyyear2025 #nonconsumption #permaculture #gardening #frugal

This actually brightened my morning.*

A bit of greenwashing, for sure, but still, I talked directly to the main author a few months ago and I think including an estimate of the carbon footprint is a sincere step in the right direction:

* my morning btw will also include the first session (out of three) of a trauma workshop to deal with the psychological aftermath of #dana #Valencia.
