I don’t know what RFKjr’s voice sounds like, but I hope it’s something like Mayor Diamond Joe Quimby. “I er ah no longer have live worms in my er ah brain”

Trying to think of ways to buy and transport a 20ft 2x4 1.5 miles without a car, bet I can get pretty creative but don’t want to find out it’s impossible at the lumberyard.

Obviously I chose the full- route with this one

Review: 7/10, much amusement from the yard staff, plenty of help getting it all tied up. Rode slow and easy about halfway then the board started to consistently work itself out of the front strap as the dolly encountered resistance.

Walking it the rest of the way to deal with a few turns and serious crosswalks.

I hadn't visited @OpenInfraMap in a while: it's a pretty impressive custom rendering of power and telecommunication infrastructure in OpenStreetMap.

If you need something new to map in OpenStreetMap, looks like lots of neighborhoods still need to have their power poles mapped! 😳

@alan @OpenInfraMap Wow, never seen this before! If it had raster tiles they could be included as a map layer on OSM.org

Hey vis.social!

Starting tomorrow, April 25th, @darth_mall will be helping out our moderation team as Admin.

I go in for surgery tomorrow, and expect to be in the hospital recovering for an additional 3-5 days.

If all goes as expected, I will be fully recovered in a month. But I'll be back online before then. :)

Editing to add: yep, it's Cancer. But hopefully, this surgery will take care of it.

Reading this report about the massive projected overcapacity of factories for making lithium-based batteries in the very near future, and hoping that all y'all "buy an EV, save the climate!" types are gonna buy, like, ten of them and give them away as Xmas gifts or something

@PaulGrahamRaven if battery prices drop, I’m going all-in on one for the house so we can shift our demand

@waldoj @PaulGrahamRaven California’s grid is so clean now that I’m thinking I may never bother with large-scale rooftop solar or net metering. It might be enough to simply ensure that we’re charging up the house morning + midday.

Started on number four, a little more careful about mixing throughout pouring this time

migurski,
@migurski@mastodon.social avatar

So much better on this one

migurski,

Getting more uniform and consistent. Need to do four more good ones.

@vitriolix did they make the tiles or does somebody sell them?

Number 7 turned out smooth but the neck cracked inside the mold, so for number 8 I sacrificed one of my many IKEA hex keys as rebar

Wet concrete in the mold with a hex key neck reinforcement

@migurski@mastodon.social avatar

Finished the half-scale prototype this weekend.

My concrete mixing and handling have a lot of room for improvement, I hear vibration tables help with this a lot. I also need to design a multi-piece mold so I can do more than one tile per 48 hours, and make some improvements to the tile shape like the fragile neck area. Overall though I’m really happy with this result!

Time to run my horrifying python code that builds a bash script that I use to repeatedly call some fortran code and make output I pull back into python for calculating telescope pointings.

My deepest apologies to everyone here who actually has training in making good software. I'm doing science!

(And no, I'm not looking for advice. Hilariously, this dumpster fire of code works well enough, and I don't need to improve it right now.)
