Será que eu posto minha discussão com os parentes bolsonaristas no grupo de whatsapp?... Incrível vomo o ódio do lula e PT faz essas pessoas ignorarem completamente o fascismo e corrupção dos milicianos (fora absolutamente todas as outras coisas horríveis malignas e desprezíveis dessas pessoas)...

Given the news on the sanctioning of Autistici/Inventati, I just hope we get to keep general purpose computing. Rop and frank were right, 21 years ago, we lost the war: media.ccc.de/v/22C3-920-en-we_lost_…

Anyone coming to OHS in Berlin this weekend? I'll be bringing some test PCBs we've made using an UV laser engraver, which includes holes, board cutouts and, if I find enough time this week, with soldermask and silkscreen all made on the same laser engraver. Forgot […] [Original post on piaille.fr]

Test PCB with engraving patterns done by UV laser engraver.

Closeup of traces, here showing successful traces down to 2 mil. It was the first test we had made, we succeeded at 1 mil later on.

Not so perfect alignment, but mylar stencil placed over the PCB, holes are black due to polarized light and polarized filter of the microscope.

I saw southern auroras last night!!!! Rakiura! Holy cow that was AMAZING (View from a bit south of Arthur's Pass, New Zealand)

A nighttime view looking to the south, with the Milky Way stretching across the left portion of the photo, and the two Magellanic clouds visible as little puffs of cloudy stars, with blazingly bright pink and orange aurora pillars low on the horizon. The auroras are also visible reflected in a lake that's just barely visible in the starlight, with silhouetted mountains on each side of the image.

Compared to regular flat grills, these curved ones: - allow awning shutters to open - accommodate flowers to grow in planters - allow occupants to see left and right down the street

A view of a street in Florence of apartment buildings. Mini Street level Windows have security grills which are often decorative. Here a vented window shutter also has an awning section that opens. The curve of the grill allows the awnings to move and not inhibit them.

A close-up photo slightly lower than the first one to give perspective

A view of two more curved or belly out window grills

Insulation becomes important when things are grim. 1917

Heat-retaining Effect of Plaster.
To the Editors of THE ARCHITECTS' AND BUILDERS JOURNAL.
SIRS,-I am engaged on behalf of the Committee on Fuel Economy of the British Association in making investigations on the consumption of fuel for domestic heating and other purposes with a view to economising the national resources.
One branch of this investigation has as its object to determine forms of building construction which will reduce the loss of heat through the walls of a dwelling-house.
In this connection I am endeavouring to compare the heat-retaining effect of different kinds of plaster applied to the inner surfaces of walls.
There must be many inexpensive compositions known to some of your readers which would probably produce a great effect in this direction
I write, therefore, to ask any such persons who are interested in this most important national problem and who are in a position to submit suitable samples to communicate with me at the University College.
We have erected in the laboratories here an apparatus capable of making tests of the exact effect of such plaster, and I should be prepared to submit any samples sent to me to that test if it appeared to offer any prospect of success.
May I request you, therefore, to ask any of your readers to give us their assistance in this nationally important matter?
