I went out into the wood to try to assess what dangerously unstable trees still standing in places where they could cause damage when they fall.
Needless to say, besides the two trees that have already collapsed above the house, there's at least one and possibly two unstable trees hanging over the house.
H'mmm...
#TheJoyOfCrofting

A tree in the wood, leaning about 30°, unsupported. Nothing terrible will happen when this one comes down, I think.
My house, from the back. You can see one tree that's broken off just above the top of the roof, and most of that tree is actually lying on the roof; but it has been for more than a year and I'm not worried about it. You can also see a tree leaning over the house, but it's hung up in the tree in front of the house and I don't think it will move. What worries me more are the two trees to the right of the house, leaning towards it. One of them is definitely unstable.

Is this article too praiseful (at least the part I can see above the paywall)? Well…
When I complain about executive types at Target, CBS, Google, Apple, etc. who rolled over and played dead the instant fascism farted in their general direction…it’s not like I’m expecting them to form the New French Resistance or something. I’m just expecting them to respond to wildly inappropriate power grabs with modest but firm refusal. That’s it. And that’s what Powell did.
So I say yeah, go ahead and lionize him for 15 min, even if just to shame Tim Cook.

Helping in defense against attacks from Iran should be the maximum that Europe does, no involvement in any actions against Iran, on or above it's territory or anything like that. We need maximum resources for security on our own continent and for the war against Russia. It would be typical Trump to first destroy Iran and then ask Europe to clean up his mess...

Took the day off to head up to Natural Bridge State Park with my wife. Pictures don’t really do justice to how massive it is.
Then there are the Blue Ridge Mountains, always gorgeous. Will return to Skyline Trail later this summer, as it’s an official International Dark Sky viewing location. Perhaps in August for the Perseid meteor shower season.

A scenic view of rolling hills and mountains in the background, with lush green trees and a grassy field in the foreground under a clear blue sky.
The Natural Bridge, a large rock arch towers above a lush, green valley, with people walking along a path beneath it. The scene features steep, rocky cliffs on either side, partially covered in vegetation, against a blue sky.
A panoramic view of rolling green hills and mountains under a clear blue sky, showcasing lush trees and grassy fields.
A natural rock arch stands tall amidst lush greenery and trees. A pathway runs through the area, with a few figures walking along it. The sky is clear, adding to the scenic beauty.

Anyone good in statistics who can quickly answer a question? Assume I have an n-digit random binary number (for IT people: a bitstring). I calculate the number of 1s vs. 0s ("Hamming weight"). Expected to be usually ~0.5/50%. How does one calculate the probability for a given length n that it's above or below a certain value, i.e. <=40% or >=60%? And how many inputs would one on average need to get at least one such outlier?

From a recent vacation, a battery-powered trolley recharging at stations. It does not spend much time doing this, and yes, these things exist.

Looking up at a short bit of charging rail extending out from the roof-edge of a trolley station (in Newcastle). A trolley is stopped underneath it and has its pantograph extended. There's an incidental tree above all of it, filling half the sky.

I inherited my copy of Plato's Republic from my father, and I have always assumed he got it while he was at university. He probably did. But I assumed he bought it new, and he didn't. He's written his name on the flyleaf, but above it someone else has written 'A H Pearce, Jan 88' (very nice handwriting). The title page dates it to 1881.
So this wee book is probably one hundred and forty five years old. It's in remarkable condition.

A small book bound in dark green leather, with some stamped gold leaf decoration. In a red panel on the spine, it is entitled 'Republic Of Plato', in gold serif capitals.
The flyleaf, on which someone has written 'A H Pearce, Jan 88' in very neat handwriting, and my father has scrawled 'A T Brooke' underneath.
Inside, the text is quite dense, but very clear and legible.
