Gusty winds in the Aegean have halted or altered numerous ferry services, leaving vessels docked at Rafina and Lavrio and disrupting travel to several Greek islands.

The rest - the robust joviality, the blokish vivacity -was part happy accident, part cunningly exaggerated ploy, the equivalent of an angelic-looking child discovering that a glowing smile will melt the severest adult heart and excuse almost any act, however dreadful.

They were not the happy-go-lucky life-and-soul-of-the-party grand fellows with a few bad habits they were commonly thought to be; they were not thoughtlessly cruel in the course of seeking to indulge other more benign and even admirable pleasures; they were not merely terrible rascals.

read that claude can use blender now so I asked it to amend an old blender file of mine to "quadruple the number of 'emoji' models each using random accessories and materials. they should all fit in the camera view in the same ratio and then headlessly render it" and what do you know #b3d
