  1. That orange pig poures a bucket load of actual executive orders over the US. I've seen so many headlines, I can't keep up.
    Hope, in a week or so, honest experts in the various areas are going to spell out each of the EO's influences, consequences, trajectories regarding impacts >outside< the US.

    Does anyone know honest economics experts apart from Steve Keen? I don't expect enlightenment from Keen in this regard really. But is there someone like him, less cynical but equally honest and smart?
    Oh! I know one! German economics journalist #UlrikeHerrmann of course!
    Phew. Anxiety lessened just from knowing that someone smart is going to put the orange output into global and EU perspective.

  2. Arctic Circle Sunsets: A Magical Experience in Finland ❄️

    When you think of sunsets, you might imagine tropical beaches or desert horizons—but nothing compares to the ethereal beauty of an Arctic Circle sunset. The sky comes alive with hues of fiery orange, deep pink, and icy blue, blending perfectly with the snow-covered landscapes. This is nature’s artwork at its finest!

    On this unforgettable trip to Finland, I not only got to witness this surreal spectacle but also had a very special meeting—yes, I visited Santa Claus himself at his home in Rovaniemi! 🎅✨

    The Arctic Circle is a bucket-list destination for so many reasons: the enchanting polar nights, breathtaking sunsets, and a touch of holiday magic year-round. Combine this with the crisp Arctic air, and you’ll never want to leave.

    If you’re a fan of nature, photography, or adventure, put Finland on your list! Trust me, Arctic sunsets are in a league of their own. 🌌

    Fighting the urge to just litter my social media feeds with "vacation photos", but this was absolutely a bucket list destination for me.

  8. #LaMachine is doing a new street theatre piece in Toulouse this weekend with their huge mechanical artworks Asterion the Minotaur, Ariane the Spider, and their newest character Lilith!

    Seeing one of these performances live is a bucket list dream for me.

  9. Maroon Bells

    Instead of a bucket list, I have made mental notes of images that I have seen and admired. Then I file it in my mind and when the appropriate opportunity arises I seek out certain destinations that fill this desire of mine to seek out God's beautify of this land.
    I was so thrilled to see these grand purple mountains showing their fall beauty with the yellow aspens.

  10. Baby accident

    I found a local goldfish keeper, who’s name is Morten, who had goldfish babies back in may. He has been growing them out ever since, and recently tried selling them. I decided to buy some from him, so I drove over to him to check them out but also to check his hydroponic system out that he had shared on the sales post. He has a sun room, where he has a large setup to grow tomatoes in. I love experiments like this and wanted to have a look.

    The setup was amazing. The tank was fairly small but the system has a lot more water in it, so it did not really matter. According to Morten, the system can keep up very well during the simmer, when the plants absorb all the nutrients, but during the winter it seems to struggle. He mentioned that it may be because he’s still learning how much food they need when it get colder.

    The babies were quite a bit smaller than I expected, but I had the chance to see their parents, who were really nice fish imported from The Netherlands. He had them in a black tub, so unlike the image above, I wasn’t able to take a decent look at them before picking the ones that I took. I simply took 10 that seemed different from above. Morten had culled a couple of times and already removed most of the fish that had bad tails and no dorsal fins, although he could promise nothing.

    I picked one “black” that would turn orange at some point, but interestingly, this was a bully fish. It was way larger than the rest, and would swim around and bite the others! You can clearly see that it has a pretty big belly and is substantially larger than the rest.

    I brought them home, placed them in a 90 liter (20 gal) tub and moved a cycled filter from my main tank over. I expected this to work well, because the tub was the same size as Mortens, but I only had 10 fish, compared to the 50 or 100 fish that he had in his. After acclimatizing them, I started feeding them pretty often, but with small portions. They did eat pretty well, but after a few days they seemed to be struggling. I could not see any issues with nitrites, but I had no test for ammonia. I simply assumed that I may have overfed them.

    After 5 or 6 days I realized that they were seriously struggling. They seemed to have been infected with a fungus of sorts, and although I tried to stop it with large water changes and salt, I only managed to save one baby! Eventually, after some thought, i believe that the fish died due to ammonia poisoning. I assume that moving a precycled filter into a new tub, with used water, was, despite expectations, not enough to cycle the setup enough, to carry the bio-load of 10 babies!

    I kept the single survivor in a bucket, until it stabilized but I eventually decided to move it over to my main tank. Although it seemed large enough to not be eaten, the largest fish did chase it around, and it acted scared. It would stay at the bottom of the tank or right above one of the filters and even seemed to be struggling with the water movement, so I eventually decided to make a baby cage for it.

    This has helped the little fish a lot!I have placed the cage quite close to a filter outlet, so that the water gets circulated and aerated. The plants give some protection and things for it to investigate. I pour a few liters of water into the container, simply to flush food left overs out and to avoid them rotting.

    Personally I am fairly pleased with the setup that was a quick fix to this problem. The only very important thing to remember is, to move the baby over to a bucket whenever I do water changes.

  15. Now I have a working app. The table in the first screen capture is compiled into the Teensy. A Tkinter app on my Mac reads it and generates the UI in the second screen capture. All the controls change the sound in real time.

    I can make several good drum sounds, and it's just a matter of tweaking them. The reverb sounds like a walkie-talkie in a bucket, though. I may have introduced a bug...

    I compared a few sources for #cloud use cases this week and all of them mentioned these two #mitre techniques:

    T1530 Data from Cloud Storage

    Seems to be the main ways for attackers to beach clouds. Compromise an account or find data in a bucket etc.

  18. Just back from a bucket-list hike along the Thorsborne trail, Hinchinbrook Island in far north Queensland. A moderately challenging 4 days - the main challenges being rock hopping and a few river crossings. Absolutely spectacular and with brilliant waterfall-fed swimming holes along the way. 10/10 would recommend. Saw no crocodiles. Which was a good thing given the river crossings. #hiking #bushwalking #straya #FNQ

  19. It's a sunny afternoon, just past lunch on The Revenge and Buttons is sitting by the railing, unraveling some rope to be cleaned, when he hears the tell-tale clomping of Mr. Hand's heavy footfalls and the wooden hoof on deck, making way towards him. Suddenly, Buttons is embraced from behind.

    "I hate everyone on this godforsaken vessel but you," the other old salt announces, as he sits behind Buttons, pressing his nose past the blanket of Buttons' hair into the crook of his neck.

    Buttons doesn't stop working, moving only to adjust himself as Izzy leans against him, wrapping around him like a starfish.

    Buttons hums, catches a few crew eyeing their embrace before returning to their work, knowing by now to leave them to it.

    "Hello, Mr. Hands," Buttons greets,"'something happen?"

    Izzy grumbles, breath hot against Buttons' neck, squirming against his back, the leather glove creaking against Buttons' chest as Izzy clenches and unclenches his fist.

    Buttons continues unraveling the rope, slowly stacking it neatly in a bucket beside him as he waits patiently for Izzy to respond.

    "Yelled at Frenchie..." Izzy finally mumbles.

    Buttons nods.

    Izzy makes a miserable little noise at the back of his throat.

    "Now, Captain Boodhari is making me do 'verbal abuse' training?!"

    Even Buttons can't help wrinkling his nose at that.

    "Our new captain is a diabolical bastard, that's sure," he responds, "I'd rather a lashing."

    Izzy snorts, jostling Buttons, who smiles to himself.

    "Right?!" Izzy barks, "Dock my meals, fuckin toss me in the brig!"

    Buttons giggles. Izzy squeezes him a bit tighter.

    "...Now, I've got to meet with Spriggs twice a week to 'talk out my issues'?! A complete waste of time."

    Buttons nods. "Ye won't be likely to speak harshly again, tho, I bet."

    Izzy sighs and shakes his head.

    "... I just... I lose my temper..."

    Buttons paused in his work and pressed a hand to Izzy's on his chest.

    "I'm..." Izzy grumbled, "I am working on it..."

    "Ye have been," Buttons agrees, "Nothing wrong with a bit of support on that effort."

    Izzy whined, pressing his head harder into Buttons neck.

    Izzy is quiet for a moment and Buttons returns to his work, happy to let his partner just cling to him for a bit.

    "....You smell nice," Buttons hears Izzy say in a small voice.

    "I smell like sweat," Buttons grins.

    Izzy squeezes Buttons again.

    "Yeah. It's nice..."

    Buttons feels Izzy's hot tongue on his neck suddenly.

    "Mr. Hands..." Buttons sing-songs, "Ye come here to get a leg over?"

    "N-no..." Izzy denies, continuing to dart his tongue along Buttons' neck, "Just... a bit of grooming..."

    Buttons closes his eyes, pausing his work as Izzy licks along a particularly sensitive vein.

    "Israel..." he breathes, feeling Izzy's ungloved hand work it's way up his shirt, to squeeze and ply his tit, "Its the middle of the work day..."

    Izzy doesn't respond, just keeps licking and playing with Buttons' breast.

    Buttons cuts off a gasp as a crew member walks pass.

    "Ye're gunna have to do sexual harassment training too, if ye don't quit," Buttons warns with a toothy grin.

    Izzy chokes out a laugh, and slowly pulls away. He sighs and sits up, releasing Buttons.

    Buttons feels all hot and is sure his face is gone a pretty pink by the way Izzy looks at him when sets his work aside and turns to him.

    "So," Buttons said, glancing at Izzy's lips and forcing himself to look to his eyes, "What are you doing next?"

    Izzy blows out a puff of air thru gritted teeth, hands falling to his lap, where he clenches and unclenches his fist.

    "I suppose... I ought go apologize to Mr. Frenchie for my outburst..." Izzy said, looking off to the sea, "And probably Captain, too, for stomping off."

    Buttons hums and nods.

    "Sounds good," Buttons said, before gesturing to the bucket, "When ye're done, come find me and ye can help me finish this up, so we can enjoy a break in our quarters after."

    Izzy made an eager little noise in the back of his throat and Buttons smiled before pulling him into a kiss.

    Someone across deck whistled and Izzy flipped them off as he pressed into the kiss.

    They pulled apart and Izzy drug his nose along Buttons'.

    "Sounds like a plan," he said.

  20. I had a small bin with a colony of Eisenia foetida in it, and I had some woodchips with some chicken poop in, primo worm food. So I took a bucket and layered the worm soil and woodchips in it about 2/3 full and covered it with 4cm of loose leaf litter. Presto! With just a modicum of attention the worms will produce the finest of soils and more worms quietly and unassumingly. They are as gentle as the rain and as relentless as the Terminator.
