Unexpected kei truck content

hey, I'm prepared to recognize their humanity in this instance

have you see "Squigonometry: The Study of Imperfect Circles" (doi: 10.1007/978-3-031-13783-9)? I bought a copy just for the existential terror that some of the p-norm trig function identities induce...

Now let me explain to you about Mar-a-Lago’s prima nocta policy …

went on the second round of viola bow shopping today, and the pattern repeated itself - my two favorite choices were basically exactly the same weight again (68.5g), but much lighter than the pair of identical weight bows (71.5g) from the last store.

I was married but I’m not married any more. Women don’t like the vehicle.

(actually, they very much do. everyone likes the vehicle.)

Eh, aren't farmers good at fixing complex optomechanical systems when they break?

(but yes I think there was a reason they couldn't give away those particular lasers fast enough, to the point that I ended up in the emails)

Weird how that works - there's a lot more to laser than average power? Who woulda thought...

The other advantages of the small RF source I went with are primarily that it isn't 2.5m long, and it doesn't have a 60kV power supply in close proximity to fragile water cooled parts.

they switched to much more reasonable but $$$ sources, of course. And I decided that I really didn't need that much laser (and a killer HV power supply) around, since my only project that needs 10.6um only wants 10W or so, but really cares about good power control...

lol I was on an email thread offering free 300W CO2 laser sources from the company in question about a year ago.

Laser applications for agriculture seem very hard. Extra so if you're using really bulky and fragile glass-tube DC systems...

Huntington's disease successfully treated for first time One of the most devastating diseases finally has a treatment that can slow its progression and transform lives, tearful doctors tell BBC.

this is really amazing - www.bbc.com/news/article... - looks like the delivery mechanism needs work but holy shit!

And a super orpheum 3! I'll look at the paramount C tomorrow...

Playing around with my new 3d scanner and collection of banjos with fancy carved heel - here's a paramount model E

This project was made much much easier with two new features we're shipping in Rhino 9 - totally revamped curve rebuilding/refitting and a much more flexible patch command! Super happy with my colleagues' work!

3d scanners and cad software: potentially actually useful!

It isn't difficult to despise violence and the atmosphere of encouraging it more than one hates Charlie Kirk individually - especially as the former still lives and isn't mortal.

But in God's name, who asked you to turn "non-celebration" into mourning?
...

played exactly the sort of session last night I really enjoy - two good friends and me, and a mostly empty bar. Three fiddles and nothing else is really all you need for some good tunes...

Today is probably going to be more chaotic, so the banjo is coming as well.

I've heard Caleb Klauder sing this a few times, and fell in love the moment I heard it. Such good writing... www.youtube.com/watch?v=6brg...

Today's #espresso - Hydrangea's Finca El Uberrimo (hydrangea.coffee/products/pin...), courtesy of a friend with a slight obsession with pink bags of coffee. Pulled 21g in/42g out, at a pretty fast 15s. Really excellent!

(downshifting is still pretty hard; gonna need to figure out how to work on that)

Today's keiventure: ...I really don't need this much positive affirmation about my life choices. I know it's a cool #keitruck, not everyone needs to tell me that...

Asking it to transpose in ABC notation is similarly silly
