Boxes filled with packing peanuts were like mimics for cats.

Still as cis as ever, but I thought I'd show my support by posting an interesting transition metal compound from my lab inventory.
Here's a solution of tantalum chloride in ethanol/methanol, intended for sol-gel deposition of tantalum pentoxide thin films. You spin coat it on a substrate then heat in air; the chlorine swaps with an oxygen in atmospheric water vapor and you get HCl gas evaporating and Ta2O5 on the surface.

Sadly couldn't join myself (wife wasn't feeling good and wanted me to stay home and help parent while she napped) but my SAR team participated in a great inter-agency training this past weekend.
It's always nice to practice alongside volunteers from other teams that we work with on real incidents and get to know each other without the pressure of a real emergency.
One note: I half feel like there should be a CW on this post for mentioning law enforcement in a positiv…

Happy accident in how this one turned out when I blurred the background – like signs flying through the air. Sort of how the protest feels sometimes to me. In a good way. #nokings

Wish I could share the full photo with you but I don’t share identifiable faces from protests. When I asked if I could take a photo, she held up her sign with a determined, slightly sad smile. That feeling could sum up the event. Joyful, yes. But also a recognition that there is hard work left to do. #nokings

Using Arch as a CI runner has been quite the interesting journey due to their packaging workflow and the fact that installing any new package effectively brings in a full system upgrade with it.
An upgrade that can include some combination of kernel, nvidia kernel module, and userspace Vulkan stack.
Which can result in Vulkan context creation failing with errorIncompatibleDriver until you reboot and everything is in sync again.
So now the "spawn VM" script has spe…
