58 BIG BOY!
Drag it's on a Monday, though. I try to take a double session in an isolation tank on my birthdays, but they are closed Mondays.
Tomorrow though, I will be 3.5 hours embraced by sweet darkness.

Happy birthday and thank you for making the world kinder and more surreal.
Happy birthday! Health, wealth, and happiness to you and your family in the coming year.
Happy birthday, fella. Say hello to the three-eyed devil-goat and William Hurt's id for me.
Yeah, bub!

My TR6 is back in one piece, thanks to some help from our local club. I finished the main frame repair work last fall, but i waited for the garage to warm up to do some painting (see the yellow engine bay) before putting the body back on.
The body went on weekend before last and i spent the last week getting everything else reconnected and adjusted. The hood went back on Friday and i was driving it again over the weekend.
The car does feel more solid, the couple of rattles it had on rougher roads are gone, which is pretty cool. The next big project is to do body work and eventually repaint the whole thing light yellow (hence the engine bay paint), which was the original color.

When are you going to mount the monster tires
Nice work! Looks like quite the project.
That's sooooo cool!

The largest remaining antebellum plantation in America, Nottoway Plantation in Louisiana, burned down last weekend, and look how sad these people were to about all the weddings that aren't going to be performed there in coming years. (The woman in red, Mia Crawford-Johnson, has some Instagram content of it: https://www.instagram.com/p...)

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question).
an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question:
"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.
it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.
it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. 'you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.'
there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn't mean it has no price
for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

A group shot of the UK delegation at Eurovision 2025.
The 2025 Eurovision UK Delegation.
So, I've been working backstage at Eurovision this week. I was assisting the UK delegation as a city host which involved me setting up appointments, booking stuff, arranging transport, etc. Just whatever was needed to get the band and their performance to the top of their game. We delivered, but the public vote didn't land (and the less said about that, the better. It needs fixed).
Anyway, I'm the one serving kilt.

The N face of Klein Nesthorn in Switzerland is expected to fully release a landslide any minute now that could release up to 5 million m3/~177 million ft3* into a valley - the mountain has already had displacements of up to 17 m and the mountain itself had already shrunk by 8 m !!! People below have already been evacuated.
This gif shows the very beginning of the displacement today, in which a portion of the summit and ridge started collapsing; the ensuring scree fall below can be seen in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch... (<---- updated link). Incredible!
The landslide, like many others throughout the Alps, Himalayas, and Andes, is linked to shrinking glaciers and intense snowmelt due to rising temperatures from climate change (a.k.a. "The Crumbleocene").
If it falls as predicted, this would be just an incredibly large landslide, about the size of the one the that dammed the Yellow River in China about 4000 years ago if you'd like a sense of scale.
Update: finally found a web cam! As of ~1:00 MST (~9 PM there, so it will be dark soon) there's a bunch of dust plumes from the main slide as it fails incrementally and some smaller debris flows around it: https://www.bergfex.fr/lauchern...
live ticker and source: https://www.aargauerzeitung.ch/schweiz...
(That live tracker includes the most Swiss statement, "In response to a journalist's question . . . a 'large convoy of cows' from Blatten had recently arrived" in a town outside the evacuation zone.)
*about 6.6 million cubic yards if you prefer

@Xedrik don't know washing machines but a king sized bed if ~1 cubic meter so 5 million king beds
video was removed, too bad. We want scree fall!
@thelonius I found a different link and updated it
it's amazing how loud it is considering how far away the videographer is
@williwaw How much is that in cows?
@hassebasse depends on the type of cow and if it's a bull, steer, cow, heifer, or cull
volumetric bovine morphologies vary greatly

This landslide is the equivalent of approximately 102,332,273 Intel P4300M Servers if that makes it easier to visualize.
[To get this number I had to convert 5,000,000 cubic meters into its equivalent cubic feet, then divide by 176 (the average volume of an elephant) and multiply by 102 (the number of Intel P4300M servers which could be contained in 176 cubic feet according to Intel https://scontent-lga3-3.xx.fbcdn.net/v... ).]

you mean 'sike!', right?
@scruss I guess, I never thought about how it’s spelled. It kind of ruins the pun, but sure, I love correct spelling as much as the next foreigner. Thanks:)

except from a GE Canada newsletter advertising scrap asbestos for sale at 3¢/lb. GE denies ever selling this
alt text
it wasn't huge, but there was more than a rumble from Quebec when the international ban came through. For years, Canada mined it, but only allowed it for export. Then there was the whole Peterborough "Insulate your house with waste asbestos from GE" scandal
"We're bringing the Asbestos mines back to America!"

a tornado near Bennett, Colorado seen through an interstate traffic camera !
Have to admit one of my favorite unforeseen (for me) uses of technology has become weather events captured via traffic cam; I particularly like to use 'em to see how bad storms are/what's coming through where I'm at or where I'm going to be traveling. But shots like this are amazing, too. The wonder of it never gets old!

A black and white illustration by Moebius. It shows a man holding a gun looking up at a floating thing. The thing looks like a flower where the stem just keeps going into a giant knotted ball. The thing is several times the size of the man.

A hot, yellow sky hovers over a strange city made of boxes. The boxes have no windows and one is arranged at an angle. A bridge with arches, similar to an aqueduct, extends away from one of the buildings. Walking along the bridge is a small figure pushing a dolly with a small package on it. A washed-out white sun hangs in the sky. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

I recently encountered one of Frank Gehry's cardboard chairs online ( https://www.artic.edu/artworks... ) and like a a taste of a madeleine, a flood of memories from 20 years ago filled my head: That time I decided to attempt a home-made version of his "Contour Chair" (the first image, obv, more info here https://www.metmuseum.org/art... ). I was so excited the first time I saw these cardboard chairs and heard that Gehry was interested in working with low-cost materials to create affordable furniture. Then a bit heart-broken to find out that a chair like that was now priced at $8K.
My experiment was done over the course of several months. The process was as simple as it was ludicrous: On the way home from work each day, I'd stop my the liquor store and pick up used (but clean) cardboard boxes. I would then create a kind of "plywood" by gluing large sheets together. After every 5 sheets or so, I would use a hand-held jigsaw and cut the pattern out, then glue it to the previous set. It was laborious and messy. You can see the results in the lower two photos. My crucial mistake was leaving out the gaps on the edges as Gehry had in his original design (at the time I was working from a single, low-res jpeg I had found online) Without the gaps, the chair didn't have any "give" and was just... not that comfortable.
When we moved out of our rented house, planning to buy a much smaller apartment, we didn't have the space for the chair, so I put it out on the curb. The next morning it was gone. Someone had seen it and brought it home! A new life for the project! But alas, it was not to be: The next day I woke up and the chair had returned to the same spot on the curb where I had left it.

I also built a cardboard chair, sadly I scaled it to my giant self and it was giant and uncomfortable to everyone who was not me. I dumped it in a recycle bin after getting a B on the project. I never tried again.
My cat would love one of those.
Putting it back was rude as hell.
