This mural on Harvey Street @ 2400 Mass Ave is nearly finished! Much gratitude to Cambridge Redevelopment Authority for sponsoring this community art project, Liz and Ainsley for the design and execution, and everyone who came out with brushes in hand to […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Photo of a mural on the side of a concrete building, reading "Welcome to North Cambridge". The design includes brightly-colored silhouettes of buildings, flowers, bunnies, a soft-serve ice-cream cone, pedestrians walking a dog and pushing a pram, a road featuring both a cyclist and a bus, and a red-line car approaching a "T" symbol. Participants are touching up the paint of several design elements.

Attended the #LenoxMA #contradance last night with the fam (three generations represented!) and within the first few dances, my jazz shoes started to fall apart: toe caps flew off, then a heel. Dry rot. My toes ultimately hurt too much to participate in the […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Today I printed some snap-on "bumpers" for my Pebble Time 2, to make it less likely that I'll accidentally chip the glass (which is slightly elevated above the body of the watch). I have little experience with 3D printing, just a few small items using a […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

These stone half-circles line the promenade abutting #RevereBeach. My only guess as to their purpose is that they once held rubbish bins, but all are now empty. Or were they designed for something else? #RevereMA

Anyone recognize this #glyph? I don't remember seeing it as a "leave no trace" indicator before. #grapheme #symbols #Baitcon

Metal sign, roughly the size of a notebook, posted to a wooden post. The sign is red with white letters, reading:
LEAVE NO TRACE
PLEASE PACK OUT
WHAT YOU
PACK IN
...
Under the sign is a circular graphic composed of two interlooping black clockwise spiral lines on a white background (which looks roughly like a hurricane symbol). This graphic is crossed with a red line in a red circle, in the universal "not" indicator.

Sometimes I read the shareholder statements on mutual funds and find a nice, poignant turn of phrase, like "a series of negative events". Happy anniversary. #StockMarket #Capitalism

(Photo of a page from a mutual fund report. Alt text curtailed due to max length restriction; highlighted excerpt transcribed below.)

"This annual shareholder report contains important information about ClearBridge Growth Fund for the period September 1, 2024, to August 31, 2025.

[deleted for length]

"Top detractors from performance:
"⬇️ UnitedHealth Group, in the health care sector, is a leading managed care and health services company. The stock was pressured through the reporting period due to a series of negative events which led to disappointing earnings and forward guidance
reductions primarily due to elevated cost pressure impacting its Medicare Advantage unit and weakness at its Optum unit. The
Fund exited the position during the period."

I don't have room to park a cargo bike, but I make do. Finally got to take my repaired 1973 Bernina home from the shop today! Specialized "pizza rack" weight limit: 15 kg. Bernina sewing machine and accessories in its case: 15.5 kg. (Disk brakes: priceless.)

My assumption is that the #magnetron died because it overheated. I figure that's a hazard for microwaves which live above a rangetop/oven. And although I cleaned its vent fan grilles every 1-2 months, a lot of dusty grease worked its way into every possible […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

What's the right way to dispose of a dead cavity magnetron? Our over-the-range LG microwave oven went _BZZT_ and died a couple of weeks ago. We bought and installed it around 2.5 years ago. The magnetron is technically covered by a 5-year warranty -- but […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

A photo of the cover of WIRED magazine, Nov/Dec 2025, subtitled, "The Politics Issue". Printed next to the date is the slogan "Democracy Dies In Darkness".
