Hur främmande israelisk högern är från judisk religiös tradition. De talmudiska rabbinerna (1500-2000 år sedan) arbetade hårt för att göra det till en pappersprodukt, trots att det praktiserades brett i omgivningen. Man införde en stor mängd regler för att göra det mycket lättare att frikänna än att döma (se bilder) och man etablerade regeln att en överdomstol (sanhedrin) som dömer ut ett dödsstraff en gång på 70 år drar vanära över sig som en "blodig sanhedrin"

Two witnesses were required. Acceptability was limited to: Adult Jewish men who were known to keep the commandments knew the written and oral law, and had legitimate professions; The witnesses had to see each other at the time of the sin; The witnesses had to be able to speak clearly, without any speech impediment or hearing deficit (to ensure that the warning and the response were done); The witnesses could not be related to each other, or to the accused. The witnesses had to…
However, if the accused has already committed the crime, the accused would have been given a chance to repent (i.e. Ezekiel 18:27), and if they repeated the same crime, or any other, it would lead to a death sentence. If witnesses were caught lying about the crime, they would be executed. The Beth Din (rabbinical court) had to examine each witness separately; and if even one minor point of their evidence, such as eye color, was contradictory the evidence was considered contradictory, and the ev…

I think today's worker is the owner of the company, he certainly is the assessor.
He worked a lot later than those without the vested interest there. 😆 I finished work at my job before he did! 🤭
All the wood was sanded down and remaining nude wood given some paint. We have a test plank in the foreground of the first picture here which is painted with a second coat of paint. Seems likely we lose all the wood grain when doing that, and so will prefer the paler look where it's obviously made of wood not paint.
Won't really know for sure till it's dry. Prefer the colour a bit darker like that but if we're hiding the wood grain we might as well have used MDF instead of pine. We're after something clearly made of wood.
Another area is test-painted with just the clearcoat top varnish as a second layer. That's likely to be right, just a bit more shiny and protected.
The carpenter proper is back from holiday and starts tomorrow. He has a lot of drawers and doors to build and edging to attach to make the door panels. Still hoping at least the carpentry will be pretty much all done by the end of the week but likely some painting and touching up still to do next week. Hopefully by the end of Tuesday because I'm not really able to be here all day each day for most of the two weeks after that.

The latest issue of the journal I edit - the Canadian Historical Review - dropped last week. It includes articles on the influence of Indigenous practices on European medicine (it'll help you understand the origins of the term "blowing smoke up your ass" too), First Nations' dispossession and the funding of settlement, early campaigns for the abolition of the death penalty, Trudeau's return to power in 1980, and the UN's World Refugee Year.
Check it out.

The cover of The Canadian Historical Review vol. 106, no. 4 (December 2025). It features an eighteenth-century engraving of two people giving a tobacco smoke enema to a third person (the title bar hides the actual procedure, though the full engraving is reproduced on the back cover, not shown here).

Aeolian dune simulation (made in 2017) for #MeerMittwoch:
The images show a screenshot of the JavaScript application to create the simulation and some Houdini renders of exported height fields. The sim itself had 5 macro params to control the behavior of the interactive deposit/erosion/transportation process. It supported tileable patterns, customizable seed terrain (images) and ran r…

It wasn't me, it was the cat!

Video of someone placing a cheesecake in a fridge with a camera facing outwards to catch anyone nabbing a slice without permission. They finger point at their eyes and then to the camera to let whoever know this cake is under surveillance. Time jump to later with someone else opening the fridge smiling while aiming for the cheesecake, but the smile goes away as they notice the camera. They close the fridge in defeat, but soon after the fridge opens up again. This time, however, it's a tuxedo ca…

Content warning: sexual violence mention

As the Red Army was pushing into Berlin, Hitler tried to order the destruction of German Industry. It was not simply to prevent the allies from continuing, but also to punish the German people for failing him. The film Downfall portrays him believing that the German people had shown themselves to be weak and that they deserved to die.
Trump has always had some Hitler energy. It's been reported multiple times that he keeps a collection of Hitler speeches by his bed. As he threatens Greenland, everyone wants to jump to compare that to Poland. The thing is, he doesn't have Hitler 1939 energy. He has Hitler 1945 energy.
Everyone knows he's a pedophile and a rapist. He's a loser and he'll do anything to distract from that. He would literally start WWIII if he thought it would give him a few more days. He's a coward who's afraid to face what he's done. But he's a coward with nuclear weapons.
I just hope the people around him value their life more than they are loyal to him.

"The #Labour party won one third of the votes (34%) in an election in which under two thirds (60%) of the electorate voted. Only one in five (20.4%) registered electors in Britain support this government. It has no mandate to do anything. If it tries to do anything radical, then, as Thatcher did with the poll tax, it will find the difference between Westminster games and real politics.
T…

The election, and after
The first thing to say about the 2024 General Election result is this: Labour lost, and lost badly. They lost, in fact, half a million votes compared to their 2019 result; they lost three million votes when compared to their 2017 result. They also failed to win anything remotely resembling a majority of the popular vote.

🥳 New Kitten release
The release I pushed a few minutes ago brings preliminary Web Numbers support to Kitten.
What are Web Numbers? Well, they’re just a friendlier name for IP Addresses, now that we can deploy secure sites at them. They’re also a cornerstone of how I’m implementing the Small Web.
ar.al/2025/06/25/web-nu…

Web Numbers
Domains? Where we’re going, we don’t need domains! Until the end of this year, the only way to have a secure web site is to have it accessible via a domain name. That, however, is changing. And the design of the Small Web will be changing along with it. IP addresses are about to make a comeback on the web in a big (ok, small) way, thanks to upcoming support for security certificates for IP addresses by Let’s Encrypt.

RE: social.makerforums.info/@mcdan
This morning, I heard the first report of someone passing their US ham radio exam by using Open Ham Prep …

Screenshot showing the first 6 of 16 lessons covering the US ham radio Technician class exam material, starting with "Welcome to Amateur Radio". Because I have passed all the quizzes associated with topic 2, "Your Identity on the Air", it is marked as completed. Two other topics are marked as partially complete because I have passed some but not all of the associated quizzes.
Screenshot showing the first six of 57 topics, starting with "The Transceiver - Your Voice to the World". Because I've taken the quiz for the first topic, it is marked as "Completed"
Screenshot showing the result of successfully answering all the questions in a quiz, and that you can always review questions for a topic by re-taking the quiz.
Screenshot of dashboard, showing that answering only a few questions does not demonstrate that I'm ready to take the test, even though I answered all of those few 100% correctly.

Troubleshooting the GPU implementation of the CDR PLL in ngscopeclient.
They're supposed to be basically the same just parallelized.
But instead we can see that the GPU version seems to have narrower bandwidth (the p-p of the frequency is significantly smaller) plus a large spike in the jitter histogram at time zero.
The complex dynamics of this make it *very* challenging to troubleshoot. I found and fixed a few unrelated bugs in other blocks and the GUI along the way b…
