#EroticMusings 17: Do you show off most of what you make, or often practice your craft on things that never get seen by anyone else?
I show most of what I make. I'm too tired and have too little energy for creative endeavours that are not meant to be shared with the public at some point.
My test readers and a couple of artists get to see the WIP including the ugly stages. C…

Gibraltar celebrates its return to Europe
After nearly a decade in limbo and years of negotiations,
a treaty announced in June and set to come into effect over coming months,
will scrap most barriers to travel and trade that went up after Britain’s divorce from the E.U. became official at the end of 2020.

Some 40,000 Gibraltarians will regain what millions of traveling Brits miss most:
the ability to wander unfettered, without passports or time limits, througho…

The Brits who beat Brexit: Gibraltar celebrates its return to Europe
Nearly a decade after Britain quit the E.U., British residents of Gibraltar on the southern tip of Spain, will regain travel and commercial access under a treaty.

Second Discovery of GeV-TeV Connection from the Globular Cluster UKS 1
Using 16 years of data collected by Fermi Large Area Telescope and 1523 days of survey data from High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Observatory, we discovered the long-sought second GeV-TeV connection towards the globular cluster (GC) UKS 1 (Shin et al. 2025). Gamma-ray spectroscopy suggests that the GeV emission can be attributed to both the pulsar magnetosphere and inverse Compton scattering (ICS) by the pulsar wind. In particular, the TeV peak is displaced from the cluster center by severa…

Cross-correlation of Luminous Red Galaxies with ML-selected AGN in HSC-SSP III: HOD Parameters for Type I and Type II Quasars
Understanding the dark matter (DM) halo environment in which galaxies that host active galactic nuclei (AGN) reside is a window into the nature of supermassive black hole (SMBH) accretion. We apply halo occupation distribution (HOD) modeling tools to interpret the angular cross-correlation functions between $1.5\times10^6$ luminous red galaxies (LRGs) and our $\sim28,500$ Hyper Suprime-Cam + Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer-selected (and $L_{6 μm}$-limited) AGN to infer the halo properties …

A First Context-Free Grammar Applied to Nawatl Corpora Augmentation
In this article we introduce a context-free grammar (CFG) for the Nawatl language. Nawatl (or Nahuatl) is an Amerindian language of the $π$-language type, i.e. a language with few digital resources, in which the corpora available for machine learning are virtually non-existent. The objective here is to generate a significant number of grammatically correct artificial sentences, in order to increase the corpora available for language model training. We want to show that a grammar enables us sig…

We went on a little hike today. 🚶
Now it's time for dinner - mapo tofu! 😋🥢
Post-note:
It was really yummy!
We were at https://jin-kitchen.at/

I don't entirely understand, but when I went to flatten the other side of my table leaf... it was a lot flatter. I would expect them to be mirror inverses of each other. 🤷‍♂️
Final thickness is between 5/8" and 3/4" which for my purposes is more than adequate. It also means I don't need any hackery to use my 1/2" screws.
