amusingly, my very 1st rock show in 1986 included both the monkees (nesmith-less) & herman's hermits (noone-less), though they did not jam a 20-minute i heard you looking > spiders. https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc…

I'm considering blocking anyone who posts content from Meta platforms, as I already do for X content. It's always just rage-farming. People, mostly, are idiots. As a result, a big chunk of what we say is junk. Meta and X thankfully have more than their share of the worst idiots, so I avoid them.

Testing out all of the lab exercises for my probing class next week

Losers of the world, unite! We have nothing to lose but our loser status.

Electoral politics is systemically biased against losers who lose at everything, even though we comprise the majority of the population.

Happy Birthday Diana Muldaur (88)!

Black Wax Cafe on Instagram: "Happy 88th Birthday, Diana! Diana Muldaur (born August 19, 1938) is an American film and television actress. Muldaur’s television roles include Rosalind Shays on L.A. Law and Dr. Katherine Pulaski in the second season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. She appeared in two episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series in the late 1960s, playing different roles (Drs. Miranda Jones and Ann Mulhall). She has been nominated for an Emmy twice, as a supporting actress on L.A. Law in 1990 and 1991. Born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised on the Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard, Muldaur started acting in high school and continued on through college, graduating from Sweet Briar College in Virginia in 1960. She studied acting under Stella Adler, and made her name on the New York stage. She was at one point a board member of the Screen Actors Guild and was the first woman to serve as president of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (1983–1985)"

The #SantaBarbaraCounty Board of Supervisors took the first step of what promises to be a protracted and historic pivot to pull the plug on all onshore oil development anywhere in Santa Barbara County.
This Tuesday, the supervisors narrowly approved
— by a 3-2 vote —
⭐️a ban on any new onshore oil drilling. 
The last time a new drilling proposal was approved took place in…

Sonnet 006 - VI
Then let not winter's ragged hand deface,
In thee thy summer, ere thou be distilled:
Make sweet some vial; treasure thou some place
With beauty's treasure ere it be self-killed.
That use is not forbidden usury,
Which happies those that pay the willing loan;
That's for thy self to breed another thee,
Or ten times happier, be it ten for one;
Ten times thy self were happier than thou art,
If ten of thine ten…

Abstract: Purpose In advanced computational MRI techniques, acquisition and reconstruction techniques are jointly designed. For reproducibility, it is therefore important to provide an open implementation of both. At the same time, any use in a clinical environment usually requires a close integration with the MRI scanner. Ensuring long-time reproducibility and maintenance then poses additional challenges. In this work, we aim to provide a fully integrated open-source framework that can meet these demands.
Methods A software framework to develop pulse sequences is added to the BART toolbox. In addition, a vendor-specific driver sequence is developed that can be used to run the sequence on a clinical MRI scanner enabling online adjustment of all relevant sequence parameters. Using the Pulseq format, the exact same sequence can also be reproduced offline. As proof-of-concept, quantitative MRI methods for T1 and joint water/fat R2*, B0 mapping using radial FLASH and model-based reconstruction are implemented in the proposed framework. Consistency between online and offline acquisition is validated in phantom and in vivo experiments.
Results Quantitative MRI methods consisting of acquisition and reconstruction were successfully implemented in BART. Acquisition parameters and FOV can be adapted online on a clinical MRI system. Quantitative parameter maps from model-based reconstruction agree for online and offline regenerated Pulseq acquisitions.
Conclusion This work enables reproducibility of advanced computational MRI methods within a comprehensive end-to-end open-source framework.

Got the replacement diodes and reworked the probe demo board with the messed up one.
Here it is before defluxing. A lot of hand soldering and rework on this one plus two extra oven cycles so it's pretty ugly, let's see how it cleans up in SWAS. Gonna give it an extra good scrub since it's so messy
