fixed the heels on my big winter boot socks 🧦🧵🪡

#darning #visiblemending

A partially completed darn on the heel, the vertical warp threads are in place, with a small amount of pattern completed across the weave. There's a needle on a thread attached
The socks lying flat as in the first picture, but this time with the heels darned. The one on the left has a simple V shaped pattern with diagonal lines, the one on the right with slightly more intricate diamond
A zoomed in view on the heels

sorry for linking over to twitter, but Ross Christie has made some fab Gaelic waterproof flashcards to help outdoor leaders and educators read and pronounce places in the Scottish landscape

https://twitter.com/_ross_christie/status/1757371859417395429

An image of one of the flashcards, held in a gloved hand. One side shows an image, the name in gaelic, a rough pronunciation and a translation. The other side has other forms of the word you might encounter, example phrases, and a QR to listen to an audio recording.

Two related questions for computer graphics people:

1. is it true that ray/line/whatever intersection tests are common in interviews?

2. how common are questions of this nature, where you have equations memorized?🤔

(boosts appreciated pls)
