Anybody have a non emergency service contact for Puget Sound Energy? They have a contact to report outages and downed wires but not lower priority issues.
We've pretty definitively figured out what's going on at my friends' place: intermittent brownouts on one of the two 120V phases affecting the entire house but not neighbors. Waveforms show glitches in the sine right above and below the zero crossing consistent with series arcing. And it happens more often in windy weathe…

Yes! That's what I'm talking about... Reprint was successful and much improved! Tweaked negative, new developer mix & weaker toner for more neutral grays. Also built an interim solution/contraption (involving 6kg of books as weight) to ensure the contact print is sharp everywhere...

Executives don’t want to just sell juice. They want to empower you with an agentic, customizable, and seamless juice experience.
But no one has stopped to think about what any of that actually means. Before designing a "solution," you need a good, *shared* problem definition. If the beautiful clarity within the design team shatters on contact with any handoff, you didn't finish the job.

Please apply pressure to electeds, urging them to aggressively pursue state charges against ICE officers, in defiance of the FBI if necessary.
Many of them already want this. State AG is already taking steps to do this. Apply the pressure anyway; the pressure helps.

"The most recent orbital computations make it increasingly likely that the object [the new #Kreutz comet MAPS] is a fragment of one of the comets observed by Ammianus Marcellinus in AD 363, thereby strengthening evidence in support of the contact-binary hypothesis of the Kreutz system," writes Zdenek Sekanina in https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.17626: "In this context, the comet is the only second-generation fragment of Aristotle's comet that we are aware of to appear after the 12th century. It does not look like a major fragment, but rather like an outlying fragment of a much larger sungrazer."
Copy-Trasform-Paste: Zero-Shot Object-Object Alignment Guided by Vision-Language and Geometric Constraints

Abstract: We study zero-shot 3D alignment of two given meshes, using a text prompt describing their spatial relation -- an essential capability for content creation and scene assembly. Earlier approaches primarily rely on geometric alignment procedures, while recent work leverages pretrained 2D diffusion models to model language-conditioned object-object spatial relationships. In contrast, we directly optimize the relative pose at test time, updating translation, rotation, and isotropic scale with CLIP-driven gradients via a differentiable renderer, without training a new model. Our framework augments language supervision with geometry-aware objectives: a variant of soft-Iterative Closest Point (ICP) term to encourage surface attachment and a penetration loss to discourage interpenetration. A phased schedule strengthens contact constraints over time, and camera control concentrates the optimization on the interaction region. To enable evaluation, we curate a benchmark containing diverse categories and relations, and compare against baselines. Our method outperforms all alternatives, yielding semantically faithful and physically plausible alignments.

I spent the last week in a PTSD intensive therapy. We had no phones or devices of any type, no radios, no contact for 5 days
I'm slowly transcribing and editing my journal. This is the first entry, from the first night.
It should probably go without saying that there are a number of triggering things here, mainly around family violence and self-harm

My 10mm thick ultraclear glass plate (for contact prints) arrived and the weight and increase in sharpness is like day & night.. wow! 🤩
Since this new glass also seems to transmit more UV light (as I had hoped), I'll have to do more test strips for adjusted exposure times. The print below actually is a test strip too (using 4 sections of different exposure times), but only the right quarter (80 seconds) seems to noticeable different/lighter. So it seems UV transmission has incr…
