I’ve just read Seveneves by Neal Stephenson. The ending was abrupt and I am now annoyed that there is no sequel. 🫤. What’s the German word for an abrupt ending you were totally unprepared for because you were reading on a kindle and didn’t have the tactile feedback of the physical pages dwindling?

Hey! er, Hay!

A bed in a rustikal room with e posed wooden eves and a wooden floor. The bed is sitting on several hay bales.
The same rustikal room, but now the other side where two chairs made from an iron grating, a pillow, and a hay bale are sitting. In the foreground is a coffee set.

Finally made some last ‘adjustments’ to the camera brackets for the laser. Now I can use the cameras to set focus and position the workpiece for the laser. Now to just calibrate everything.

A small piece of aluminum is being held in a steel vise. There is a red handled wrench next to the vise for tightening. A milling spindle is currently cutting a countersunk slot in the piece of aluminium.
Two cameras are held on a movable axis next to the scanning head of a laser. There is a table with screw holes in a grid pattern underneath the laser head.
A wider angle view of the two cameras and the laser scanning head over the table with the screw hole grid on it.

I had a large group over this weekend for a hobbyist meetup and she was really well mannered (except for the one guy she wouldn’t let in to the yard). But now is too pooped to pup.

It’s national dog day somewhere, apparently.

My sister never calls. So when I saw the missed call at 04:23 this morning, I did NOT assume she’d Siri dialed ‘Sam’ and instead of calling her husband Sam like it always does, it dialed me and she hung up immediately. But that’s what I should have assumed. 😵‍💫

My wife sent me this pic from FB with the comment,“beautiful, wouldn’t that be nice“. I pointed out it was fake, the MC Escher sink, the weird chair backs center and right, the odd ‘stuff’ on the plates, the weirdness of the tree…. She’s stopped talking to me. Ask me for more marriage tips. 😅

A Christmas kitchen scene made by a computer program trained from the likely copyrighted works of others with no credit given. This is a kitchen scen, but looking closer, lines don’t meet up, spokes in chairs are missing continuity and the right corner next to a sink has geometry like an MC Escher drawing.

It appears the arcane sigils match. Perhaps this token will open the portal.

A nearly indecipherable text engraved on a wooden board with a sheep cut in to it. I believe it say Sch(L)opstuv, for which I have no definition other than to assume it has something to do with sheep.

I saw this photo recently of French knife grinders ca. 1900 with their dogs.

Black and white photo of four people laying on their stomach. Below them is a long shaft with grinding wheels on it and they are sharpening knives in production. Laying on the back of their legs are several dogs, ostensibly to keep them warm.
