    @jonworth Hmm. @darkosubotica is in Serbia now. I know he flew there from Berlin, but perhaps he has some ideas for alternatives…

    @gilmae Well, we did follow it up with a discussion of how one could actually solve poverty or homelessness without crashing global economies, so it wasn’t all “Party on the ISS”. 😂
