Have a beautiful Day of Aphrodite aka Venus' Day aka Frigg's Day aka Friday 🌹
"Gods and men call her Aphrodite, and Aphrogeneia (foam-born) because she grew amid the foam, and well-crowned Kythereia because she reached Kythera, and Kyprogenes because she was born in billowy Kypros, and Philommedes (Genital-Loving) because sprang from the member."

Spin foam amplitude of the black-to-white hole transition

Spin foam amplitude of the black-to-white hole transition
It has been conjectured that quantum gravity effects may cause the black-to-white hole transition due to quantum tunneling. The transition amplitude of this process is explored within the framework of the spin foam model on a 2-complex containing 56 vertices. We develop a systematic way to construct the bulk triangulation from the boundary triangulation to obtain the 2-complex. By using Thiemann's complexifier coherent state as the boundary state to resemble the semiclassical geometry, we intro…

Trying another GF cake; this one a simple almond cake. Weighing the flours is easy. Clarifying the butter is not.
I got distracted, so instead of clarified butter it was browned butter minus the foam.
Includes maraschino liqueur, orange zest, and a crusty turbinado sugar top that makes all the slices look sloppy. But whatever, it tastes great.

Prepared 8 inch round spring form pan with the bottom full of sugar and sliced almonds, wrapped in wet cake pan strips. Around it is a bowl of mixed flour, custard cups of butter and orange zest, and a stand mixer ready to go.
The cake released from the pan and flipped onto a 10 inch white plate. The top is a rich brown color from caramelized sugar while also also full of sliced almonds.
An eighth of the cake on a dessert plate, topped with powdered sugar. The moist yellow cross section has a thin layer of sugar on top, broken into shards from slicing. On the tray with the cake is a glass mug of cappuccino, the top third of which is white foam. This is all bathed in sunlight.

Starting June 1, 2024, Washington will ban the sale and distribution of foam coolers, takeout containers, cups, plates and other food and drink items made from expanded polystyrene (Styrofoam) due to environmental and recycling concerns.
It's the right choice, but will chicken teriyaki hit the same out of compressed paper takeout containers?
#WashingtonState

Foam coolers, takeout containers will be banned in WA on June 1 • Washington State Standard
Those foam clamshell containers long used by restaurants for takeout food will soon be illegal statewide in Washington.

fungi seen today at Pacific Spirit Park University Endowment Lands #Vancouver BC
Very colourful growing on old logs by the path
Much better versions with more pixels at flickr.com/photos/stephen_rees

Colourful large ears of fungi with green "foam" at the top of the picture
A lot of ear fungi on a tree with lichen and moss too

Rings of colour on the ears of the fungi - mostly shades of brown but some bright green too

The wife and I decided to shopping for a new mattress today and we ended buying this Nectar mattress(king size) to replace our 8 year old mattress.
This is a memory foam mattress, which we've never owned before, so definitely going to be interesting to see how it is once it arrives, which is due to happen April 9th - 12th.

Screenshot of the Nectar mattress we'll be getting in a couple of weeks.

#ShiftHappens happend! @…'s impressive book about #keyboards and #typewriters

An open card box with a safely packaged book slipcase in it. The foam looks a bit like Minecraft blocks with jigsaw puzzle cams.
A book slipcase with a black and white photography of some blank key caps.
Front view of the Shift Happens slipcase withe two thick and one thinner orange book inside. The two thicker books have beige key caps with legends 1 and 2 as label for volume 1 and 2. There's also a thin, stapled leaflet on the very right end of the slipcase visible.
