Read all about how it worked for us and lasted longer than expected (with some TLC), but is sadly barely more efficient than the old model.

Worked with an #acting #coaching client on a brand new (to us) piece of text, and learning who the character was even on the ice cold reading (never read before) was inspiring. Some roles are clear instantly from the start, some require we do more homework to start finding them.

Table top exercises (basically TTRPGs for government and business) can be used to test plans and refine plans without needing to actually experience a natural disaster, security event, etc. They're used by militaries to practice war. I've been part of such exercises to test incident response runbooks I've written.
I've been reading a friend's thesis about Operational Art and Critical Philosophy in relation to revolutionary praxis. I wonder if anyone has ever run a table top exercise for an action (or for higher level strategy), and, if so, has anything they could share about it?
While organizing with the Seattle GDC, our disaster prep group ran a table to exercise. We chose scenarios from a set of county exercises for local disaster preparedness. Our GM (who worked in public health at the time) had to modify it a lot to fit our use case, but it still gave us a lot of insight.
Unfortunately, it was a number of years ago so I don't really remember the specific scenario or what came out of it.
I did look back at some notes that I found, and we did suggest creating a D&D committee (partially just for conviviality). Reflecting on this in light of reading this thesis, I feel like we we're really on the mark.

I remember speaking to someone who, maybe a decade ago, worked at a ride share app company.
They left shortly after a meeting in which the company was looking at ways to slow cities from investing in their public transport.
On its face a business or technology might not be objectionable, but there's an inevitability to the direction that investment demands.

Just worked with an #acting #coaching client who is new to acting. For a take on the first scene they've done, I asked them to change one physical thing they were doing. That take, from the first sentence suddenly had a different life behind it. So good to see.

My son and I have been trying to figure out the minimum number of lengths of wire one needs to be able to piece together in order to make a resonant EFHW on all six bands on a mid-band QMX with 60m, 40m, 30m, 20m, 17m, and 15m bands. We have worked out that with two 10m wires, one 5.5m wire, one 5m wire, one 3m wire, one 2m wire, and one 1.25m wire, it's possible to have a resonant antenna and sufficient counterpoise on all six bands.

My mom asked me for help with #Microsoft #Excel on her work computer. I don't know which version it was, beyond being an actual program and having these damn ribbons. She wanted to make all the rows on a spreadsheet taller.
I did the obvious thing: selected all the cells, dragged at some random row header edge and resized it. To my surprise, this affected only one row. I tried again, same result. WTF?! I mean, I haven't seen Excel for years, but why would they break that?!
So I started digging through these damn ribbons, properties, trying to find some row height setting. Nothing.
I was close to giving up, but I've tried again: selected everything, dragged… and this time it worked and affected all rows. So much for predictable software.
