Folks that don't 'get' the Sinners thing - it's an important movie as a statement for black folks, their culture, how they've been treated through the years, and how they're still treated. Period pieces are tough for me, but once I got into it, yeah, it's damn good. Coogler did a great thing there.

History is a mess and a construct.
It is constructed today to shape the tomorrow from a past that never was.
It helps that it is a mess so one can take the bits and pieces they want and stitch them together to whatever they need to derive what they are up to.

Fun new piece of information. Google search results now include this text (I think it took less than an hour), but the LLM still doesn't know what a "walowadick" is.
This gives us a bit of signal, and we'll get some more as time goes on. Some of my other pieces, like the "towards a fractal anarchism" post on dbzer0 (slrpnk.net/post/18413750) has shown up in LLM results, but it seems like it took several weeks or maybe months.
So I'm guessing there are some regular encoding jobs, probably no more often than once every few months. It'll be interesting to get that signal and see what happens. I'd also be surprised if there isn't some kind of prioritization based on hits, but, again, we'll see what signal we get.

Over the holidays last last year I was building an Airfix model (good way to ignore the outside world) and discovered two pieces had fallen off the sprues and were not in the box. I considered constructing them myself but I didn't have a good reference image to go by. 99% certain it wasn't my fault, I looked up how to contact Airfix, followed the instructions, and never heard back.
Until Friday, when two tiny pieces of plastic arrived in an adorable little pouch and the modelmaking can continue.
I love good customer service. I just love it.

The case for my 28g QRP dual-ported (9:1 and 49:1) unun cracked from tightening one of the terminal screws too tight, and from having printed the box with too few perimeters, so it wasn't really strong enough. I had designed it so that the coax was integrated into the case, so I had to cut the case apart to remove the still-functional electrical components for re-use.
At least this gave me a chance to confirm that I hadn't blown up the ferrite from overheating it!

Damaged case with one side cracked off and pieces cut out for destructive disassembly to save the electrical parts for a new case.
Electrical components removed from broken box: a tapped autotransformer with three ring terminals at the connections, and a blue high-voltage capacitor. Two of the three ring terminals have brass M3x8 screws currently installed. 1/10" RG316 is visible at the bottom.

Two more loft finds; the white saucer is part of a partial set of Japanese export ware, we've also got a few other pieces including tiny demitasse cups. The black is part of a fairly full set of Chinese Fuzhou 'bodiless' lacquerware - it's made of layers of cloth built on a clay body, but the clay body is removed, and they smooth and paint the cloth. They're very lightweight. Both seem fairly common from somewhere mid 20th century.

A small saucer; it's mostly white with a red/orange rind around and a couple of pink flowers surrounded by some green; there's some golden decoration on top.

Listening to the Christmas concert from Wiener Konzerthaus. Good music, but why does Brownlee sing the musical pieces with vibrato?
I'm not much of a classical music buff and ignorant of much in this field, but this came across to me as odd. It's almost as if the Tenor decided to not adapt his technique to the style of the piece.
Is this common, or with purpose?
Or to put it in another way, is using vibrato a choice?

Claude Haiku 4.5 describes the image as: "I can see a woman in what appears to be an indoor setting with neutral-toned walls in the background. She has shoulder-length blonde hair styled in a casual updo with face-framing pieces, and is wearing what looks like a dark-colored top. She's smiling and looking off to the side, appearing engaged and cheerful in the moment. The lighting suggests this is from a television production, with professional studio lighting visible. The setting appears to be …

I feel for Slot here, having to figure out which square peg to put in the round hole at CB.
Gravenberch isn't particularly good at winning aerial duels, especially for a guy who's 6'3".
Nallo, 6'1" is young, solid aerially, but playing mostly U21.
Endo, only 5'10" wins most of his aerial duels, but not necessarily at CB.
And Slot takes Gravenberch, which I understand.

Usually, we hunt down a tree in the Huron Manistee National Forest but this year we had to get one from a local tree farm so it’s not as scrawny as usual but still looks pretty nice donchathink?

This is a cozy Christmas scene featuring a decorated evergreen tree in a home with exposed brick walls. The tree is adorned with white lights and various ornaments including eclectic handmade decorations. A gold star tops the tree.

The setting has a warm, artistic feel with the rustic red brick wall as a backdrop. Several framed artworks and photographs are hung on the brick, including be vintage photographs and portrait sketches. There are also some smaller photos or artwork pieces attached d…

Made new test prints on some off-cuts, using a slightly stronger developer solution than usual to see impact on max. depth. The main image (Eagle Creek, Oregon) is using 18% sodium acetate (curve corrected negative), the test strips are of 20% and 15% solutions (both uncorrected). The phone capture doesn't really show the differences too well, but I think I will go for the 18-20% from now on...
(Btw. The original image is here:

iPhone photo of 3 printed pieces of paper on a table., the largest showing a kallitype print of a moody scene of a mountain creak flowing through a wintry forest canyon. Below the main image are two smaller test strips showing gradients and checkerboard patterns (partially cut off)

Living on a hill without direct fiber or cable sucks sometimes.
At midnight our main ISP crapped out completely and then in the morning I manually switched to our super-slow backup ISP (like 8Mbps down, 1Mbps up) but that one also intermittently craps out.
Main ISP says it should be fixed soon, their "internet chassis" at another location shit the bed and they need to replace multiple pieces of hardware.

Claude Sonnet 4.5 describes the image as: "This image appears to be from a science fiction production, showing three figures in elaborate black leather costumes with distinctive studded metallic shoulder pieces and armor details. The setting is clearly a futuristic spacecraft or station interior, with metallic walls, industrial-style panels, and what appears to be technical equipment in the background.

The costumes are notable for their militaristic design, featuring multiple studs or rivets c…

Not surprised. I found stuff that looked great. I am fairly experienced at baking and part of them didn't turn out. Going over them afterwards I should have clued in on the temperatures for the candies. I have made fudges and candies for decades and thought maybe they knew something that I didn't. They turned out to be almost as runny as cold syrup and will be used as a topping for fruit cake with ice cream.

This photo shows a beautifully decorated Christmas tree in a modern home with exposed brick walls and hardwood floors. The tree is a full, natural-looking evergreen adorned with warm white string lights that create a soft, inviting glow throughout its branches.

The tree features a mix of ornaments including a gold star topper, colorful glass baubles (red, blue, and other colors), and elegant decorative pieces like white origami-style ornaments and angel figures. The decorating style is eclecti…

This photo shows a vintage "Merry Christmas" album by Johnny Mathis being held up in a cozy home library. The album cover features the legendary singer in a festive red cardigan sweater, sitting in a snowy setting with a warm, cheerful smile. The title is displayed in bold red and green lettering, perfectly capturing the holiday spirit.

The background reveals an floor-to-ceiling bookshelf packed with books. White walls display several framed artworks, including a portrait and other pieces in v…
