Just found out Stockholm has "leisure libraries". Places where you can borrow sports equipment *for free*, just like borrowing a book from a library
Saw one this morning, and it was really well stocked with camping gear, skis, inline skates...

Starts with very Sweden-specific things, but then goes into more general crisis management

Hah! Just found out someone followed our strand hair tech talk from Digital Dragons from a few years ago, and did a WebGPU implementation. Nice!

It's a bit of a shock, though, seeing how we've kept making the tech better to the point that the talk is quite outdated now! 🙈
