Last Notes npub13fkhr77rtu3e32f7mvejnmr62k6d89te4h3apkrekapp0dx86cgssf2j8f Derek Caelin 🌱 Instagram Reels thinks that I am a woman, and honestly, Iam delighted. I am heavily insulated from manosphere content. I mainly get posts about gardening and how husbands always underestimate the effort of DIY projects. Those silly husbands! npub13fkhr77rtu3e32f7mvejnmr62k6d89te4h3apkrekapp0dx86cgssf2j8f Derek Caelin 🌱 As a color blind person I've always felt that multispectral visualizations of a linear variable were confusing. It seems much more clear to present a single color and vary it in lightness. This one in particular seems strange. The bottom end of the axis goes to -60F, a value not represented in the image.

People are falling left and right but the combat sport athletes do fantastic. Archery, rifles, even the javelin and hammer toss do great. They need to hold out for the night and deliver the antidote to a helicopter. People start falling down, tired and overwhelmed by waves of the dead. The day is saved by the rhythmic gymnast who everyone mocked, because their pattern based movements hypnotize the zombies. npub13fkhr77rtu3e32f7mvejnmr62k6d89te4h3apkrekapp0dx86cgssf2j8f Derek Caelin 🌱 @npub1nle…gly6 that's a great looking game! npub13fkhr77rtu3e32f7mvejnmr62k6d89te4h3apkrekapp0dx86cgssf2j8f Derek Caelin 🌱 @npub144e…404v in my opinion, it feels more like 1 than 2. So far, I've felt more uncertain and cautious as the missions progress. There's more use of 3D space.

Each great whale sequesters, on average, 33 tons of carbon, and they take that with them to the ocean floor... after they die. Their feces fertilize phytoplankton, which are the basis of all marine food webs and the source of oxygen for every other breath we take.

Security Council resolutions are legally binding. What does it mean that this has happened? Is there a precedent for how warring parties have reacted to security council resolutions demanding they stop?

I wonder what specific aspects of design he's thinking about. Is it more... color? More organic elements? Fewer hard lines? (Obviously Field is thinking about aesthetics here and not the underlying message of solarpunk, or cyberpunk, for that matter. ) I work at an open source green software company. We use Figma and I'm genuinely curious what design aspects he thinks people like us should be pursuing. npub13fkhr77rtu3e32f7mvejnmr62k6d89te4h3apkrekapp0dx86cgssf2j8f Derek Caelin 🌱 @npub129h…394p @npub1zrl…3fqf Well this looks fun!

A slow burn for the first half, and then everything lets loose. This was obviously a well researched novel. The way the characters (especially the Americans) acted during the epidemic was strikingly accurate to my own covid experience. #boostodon #conniewillis #oxfordtimetravel #doomsdaybook npub13fkhr77rtu3e32f7mvejnmr62k6d89te4h3apkrekapp0dx86cgssf2j8f Derek Caelin 🌱 I enjoyed #VernorVinge's "A Fire Upon the Deep". Pack animals come together to form a collective consciousness, and when one animal dies or leaves the being itself changes. Absolutely wild. npub13fkhr77rtu3e32f7mvejnmr62k6d89te4h3apkrekapp0dx86cgssf2j8f Derek Caelin 🌱 Reading #TheLordOfTheRings again this year. I'm struck by how disconnected all the people are. Roads are infrequently traveled. Lothlorien has lost contact with everyone except Rivendell. In all of Gondor, only Denethor remembers from lore that Rivendell even exists. In the north kingdom there is barely even traffic between Bree and the Shire. The world shattered at the end of the Second Age and the people in it never came back together. npub13fkhr77rtu3e32f7mvejnmr62k6d89te4h3apkrekapp0dx86cgssf2j8f Derek Caelin 🌱 30 Day workweek! https://wapo.st/4cnCM0g npub13fkhr77rtu3e32f7mvejnmr62k6d89te4h3apkrekapp0dx86cgssf2j8f Derek Caelin 🌱 @npub1nq6…ejwu The Verge article links to an American Enterprise Institute article that was surprisingly worth the read: https://www.aei.org/articles/solarpunk-futurism-seems-optimistic-and-whimsical-but-not-really/ npub13fkhr77rtu3e32f7mvejnmr62k6d89te4h3apkrekapp0dx86cgssf2j8f Derek Caelin 🌱 @npub1fzl…3h9h wow!

I sketched the lines using a speed square (to keep things simple, everything is a straight line, and most come together at 90 degree angles). Then I used the broad, flat blade and a small hammer to carve the grooves. I had to cut with a smaller blade the for short, delicate lines in the "leaves". https://social-coop-media.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/media_attachments/files/112/116/921/378/677/966/original/2b5b4eb81fbed431.png npub13fkhr77rtu3e32f7mvejnmr62k6d89te4h3apkrekapp0dx86cgssf2j8f Derek Caelin 🌱 🥰 https://social-coop-media.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/media_attachments/files/112/112/865/591/754/542/original/7d7eb6b6ed854400.jpg npub13fkhr77rtu3e32f7mvejnmr62k6d89te4h3apkrekapp0dx86cgssf2j8f Derek Caelin 🌱 @npub1jad…zqnt lessons learned: 1. Hammer the wire until it is as thin as possible 2. Make the cuts deep and narrow I was not hammering enough and the wire was somewhat rounded. Because of this I was making wide cuts to fit the inlay, and it bounced around. Because of this I had to use a lot of glue. Lots of hammering. The whole thing was, to say the least, messy. With thin wire, the sides of the narrow cut grip the wire. It just requires a little glue to keep together! npub13fkhr77rtu3e32f7mvejnmr62k6d89te4h3apkrekapp0dx86cgssf2j8f Derek Caelin 🌱 Omg. On the *last* element of my wire inlay project I figured out how to do inlay correctly. Look at the difference! Moving forward (if I do more inlay) I'm going to save so much glue, prevent so much damage to the wood! #woodworking #wireInlay #diy https://social-coop-media.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/media_attachments/files/112/111/969/496/854/528/original/a2942924d4884989.jpg https://social-coop-media.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/media_attachments/files/112/111/969/601/084/804/original/aad27fddf8c91a5f.jpg npub13fkhr77rtu3e32f7mvejnmr62k6d89te4h3apkrekapp0dx86cgssf2j8f Derek Caelin 🌱 @npub169h…ufmy incredible npub13fkhr77rtu3e32f7mvejnmr62k6d89te4h3apkrekapp0dx86cgssf2j8f Derek Caelin 🌱 I got a "new" phone this week (refurbished pixel phone) because I discovered, to my dismay, that my old pixel 3a stopped getting security updates last summer! 😬 npub13fkhr77rtu3e32f7mvejnmr62k6d89te4h3apkrekapp0dx86cgssf2j8f Derek Caelin 🌱 @npub1xzp…x4fk nice. nice. npub13fkhr77rtu3e32f7mvejnmr62k6d89te4h3apkrekapp0dx86cgssf2j8f Derek Caelin 🌱 TFW when you read books on software development with a detailed set of principles and best practices and then say, "now remember, this is not a once and done exercise". Can it? Can it please be? I have limited resources and mental bandwidth and not everything can be an integrated, holistic process. I can only think of one thing at a time...Certainly every time I try to talk about more than one thing once people get confused. Obv. we should strive to be better. I'm just tired. /rant
