"…it is useful for a biologist to think about chemical processes, and for a chemist to think about interactions at the level of physics, and for a physicist to do math. The #membrane & the #handle are essential, but sometimes you have to decap the sealed package and inspect and manipulate its internals directly. #Problemsolving, #improvement and #maintenance all require the ability to move up and down the stack of abstractions to figure out where to stick your probes and stage your interventions." @pluralistic@mamot.frhttps://pluralistic.net/2026/07/03/rod-logic/

Canals and navigable rivers in England are falling apart at a faster rate. Inland Waterways Association reports a 40% increase in indefinite stoppages—an outage or closure of more than 30 days without a set re-opening date. (Imagine the uproar if road repairs were managed that way.) Here's a photo of a creative, low-cost repair. The solid oak beam that levered the gate open and closed had rotted. It's been replaced with a series of planks, bolted together. #canal #maintenance #repair #funding

Where a weeping willow hung low over the canal, the only option was to slowly boat through the hanging curtain of leaves. Then: an enormous TWANGGGG. Something caught the solar panel brackets. Amidst the twigs and leaves was a hidden limb with a diameter of 5 inches (12½ centimeters). Out comes the electric chainsaw. That tree got a trim. #CanalLife #canal #willow #tree #vegetation #pruning #maintenance #boating #narrowboat #boat #solar #SolarPanel #CRT #CanalRiverTrust #CanalAndRiverTrust

Hey Fedi Friends! There is this gap between the lowest silver part and the top of the grayish part that shouldn't be there. I can see bearing balls in the lower part, and the top part is a bit conical. How do I close this gap? I tried mild force: loosening everything and tightening the bolt on top to pull everything down resulted in a snapped bolt. Hammering the loosened stem downwards did nothing. #AskFedi #cycling #bike #BikeTooter #maintenance
