I wanted to see how my calculus students could do creating a closed piecewise parametric curve for an impossible object. They made one side and could choose one of my shapes for the other side. Then I printed the objects. It went well, and I think I can ramp it up a little bit and

Fine motor skills are important at any age. Over the weekend, I crocheted this alpha motor neuron innervating a muscle.☺️

Finished knitting a vest yesterday, it's the Clova Slipover by @ysoldaknits.bsky.social A really well put together clear pattern. Used a sirdar Aran yarn my mum gave me. Loved that I didn't have to knit sleeves. #knitting 🧶

Tom Jones has a similar one that's also worth a listen.

After all the chaos and stress yesterday I had to go and run a craft table felting at an arts festival in the afternoon. We felted penguins, one puffin (not pictured) a fox, and a robin. It was fun but I am so tired now, wow.

I put in 4 entries into a local camera club print competition (they were for public exhibition in Waterford today). I won the damn thing! (Won the Intermediate category: all 4 shots got top marks). I'm flabbergasted & delighted, and I am getting a medal for winning!

Looks like some naughty Irish brewer is exporting a nitro stout and a red ale (both 4.2% ABV) to Russia, where they're sold under the "Éirinn" brand 🤔

Pope, would you please shut the fuck up about matters you do not understand? You're not an Ai influencer, no one elected you, and you have absolutely no weight in this debate and you're being used as a mouthpiece to sway public opinion. how many local models do you run?

If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

My brother lives in New Zealand, he’s moving house because his housemates are annoying. They have a cat called Kimchi that they don’t look after that well and he takes care of her, she sleeps on his bed etc. I am encouraging him to take the cat when he moves.

@prehistoricsociety.bsky.social @joanavaldez.bsky.social Some of the brilliant World Heritage Site prehistoric rock-art in Alta from last month's Arctic Norway trip. Images of reindeer, hunting, boats, bears, bear-dens, fish, all in great profusion. The earliest panels are from around 5000 BCE.

Hunting scene with reindeer, armed stick-like people, and bears mixed in towards the middle.

Hunting scene with people on boats using bow and arrow, plus someone holding up what look a bit like snow-shoes, but may be large skin or cloth shapes to distract the animals.

If they remake A Beautiful Mind they might need that floor. Nash invented a game Hex (used in the quizshow blockbusters) using a floor like that in Princeton. But the original floor seems not to survive www.privatdozent.co/p/john-f-nas...
