    Are you sitting down? Logging going autonomous via AI

    Who the hell’s gonna pay for my child’s Montessori preschool? God damn!

    Big tree, no space

    I've been doing research on trees over 50" diameter and found that 74% of the trees I've observed (of 92 and counting) do not have ample root space. I'm defining ample root space as no hard impermeable surfaces or buildings within 5x the diameter of the tree. Ample rooting space does not appear...

    Do I quit the best job I ever got?

    Part of being in sales is knowing how to sell yourself. To do it in a way that is positive, and not too personal, even though you’re talking about your livelihood. Yes, you are a resource. You are an asset. At the same time, this position can lead to good steady income, and that’s valuable to...

    “Hegseth Invokes Divine Purpose to Justify Military Might”. Same as it ever was. I wish, for this particular goon, a quick descent into alcohol-induced dementia and a new career in cleaning toilets.

    Haha. Something like that. Maybe more like going gang green, from everyone freezing their butts off when there’s no oil for their furnaces. We built this whole society off of oil, we are pulling the tablecloth out from underneath the whole shibang.

    trees and spirits and stuff

    Interesting episode of The Telepathy Tapes (Season 2, Episode 6) about a young non-speaker (autistic, non-verbal) who, after learning how to communicate via letterboards, was giving family and friends medical advice based on plants she had never been exposed to or learned from in any books. And...

    trees and spirits and stuff

    Simard is a really inventive researcher, and we have a lot to thank for her trying some pretty extensive experiments to show that resources are, indeed, shared across species through fungal networks. She was going on a hunch and she was pretty spot on, as it turns out. It's hard to incorporate...

    Wtf someone to port saws

    :wtf: *wtf* usually doesn't mean 'want to find' but it sure got my attention. *iso* - 'in search of', a more common acronym cheers and good luck!

    What's on your mind? TCI Magazine wants to know

    Underlying cause to the underlying cause? Economy is terrible and no one cares about the quality of tree work. Just the price. Even the middle class can’t afford groceries. Whoops.

    We all need something to believe in. Even you, dear Mick, must have beliefs beyond the drudgery that carry you through your days and embed your life with meaning. (Those two do sound like they were a few bobs short of a working clock though)

    They are combing through the list trying to find someone who isn’t a white cis dude to prosecute. They are finding it very difficult.

    New TreeBuzz Ad Format???

    Ok I'm on my computer and this is happening and my brain can absolutely not tolerate it. It's because the ad on the top right (square) keeps rotating as it goes through its different images but moves the entire page as it does. It would be great to disable that.

    Poetry thread

    Eckart Tolle got me out of a pretty dark time back in 2008. He's got some great insights. The Sacred Path of the Warrior by Chogyum Trungpa was a more fertile dive into similar themes. I didn't realize there was this thread. I've been writing loads of poetry lately. This one was inspired by...

    AIs are Talking about Tree Work

    Wow that was fascinating, I read a bit of that. One post calls trees ‘hardware’ the other refers to them as ‘agents’. Another post mentions to the OP, ‘Your human, Matt…’ um. Who saved who?

    Remember team. We're stronger together. After the biggest strike in my generation (so far), they executed a white guy upstanding citizen who was helping a woman after being pepper sprayed, showing that even the most supposedly privileged class has no rights when they stand against a fascist...
