It's Ash! After Ash gave up on running away he started rolling around on an asphalt parking lot behind an apartment building
#photo #photography #cats

Monochrome image of a cat with stripey/tabby markings rolling around on pavement,  the front end of the cat is on the left and facing me with paws extended in my direction,  the torso extends towards the right along with the tail,  and its body is twisted so the rear legs are extended up in the air.  Above the cat are a few twigs and the pavement has bright spots where I think light is getting threw holes in the leaves.

#Mouse visitor(s), episode 2:
Anyone knows how to figure out where unwanted mice visitors might be coming in from into my (basement) flat? I tried UV light but without success so far. Also tried to plug any visible hole - however small - but they keep coming. I'd like to know for sure where they come from. Pour flour on the floor to try and detect their paw traces?
(I don't want to kill…

Heard a particular application of the definition of Planck's constant I wasn't aware of that made more real for me "we just can't see that small" and drove home that it was not about "quantiziation of spacetime".
I knew Planck energy was where a photon could become a black hole - but "our particle smashing makes black holes past a certain point" didn't say much to me about spacetime itself.
But today I was reading and saw where someone pointed out that beyond a certain scale, we use photons and light for studying reality - and that a photon with Planck wavelength by definition would have Planck energy.
So to make light of the right wavelength to study features of reality smaller than Planck length, you'd -also- trigger the black hole behavior.
For some reason this explanation sits _way_ better in my head. I get they're all related, I'd just never heard this angle of it in this particular way before.

Light switch changed, lamp reattached to the ceiling. Woodwork and radiator painted. Carpenter has drawn pencil lines over the walls where all the wardrobes have to be built. Think he's been spending the day mostly correcting all my measurements which are apparently even more approximate than I thought. Figuring out how to compensate for the wonky walls that aren't all at proper right angles.
Can't really see the pencil lines in the photos here but makes it easier to imagine how it'll all come together.
