@hknorton.bsky.social Talked to Rachael at the conference. She said she called the Conservancy & told them their announcement had the wrong name of the new LA State Archaeologist. The woman was agast...but they still haven't corrected it.

Fascinating world of #glass: Glass vessels from the 16th and early 17th century, found in a latrine in Ulm. Latrines were commonly used for waste disposal. 📷 @almbawue.bsky.social 🏺 #archaeology
Full shot of a large collection glass vessels, all of which have flaws, cracks and missing parts etc 
Various types of glasses are present, including goblets, tumblers, small bowls, and footed cups. The glasses are in a variety of colors, including translucent and opaque shades of green, light teal, blue, and even some with hints of a white/gray color.

Pathetic. It's been decades since I dealt with Base 2. Asked Copilot last night "What is 8 converted to Base 2?" It told me "To convert Base 8 to Base 2..." Rephrased question to "What is Base 10 number 8 in Base 2?" Its answer was 10. Hexadecimal 8 to Base 2 = 1000, not 10.
Thumbs down
