HA! This will end any argument

A fiddle-thing.

Move sliders and yell at checkboxes.

If you’re not a ringer you may be confused.

* brakes his car. D’oh

The denouement:

She doesn’t actually win the court case; she finds out she’s his mystery daughter, so he appeals the verdict because the sticker was factually incorrect.

Ha! Double ha!

And they all have apple pie and The End.

My agent will be taking offers.

So naturally I now have to explain my rubbish film thing.

Back story to the plot is that some gruff dude breaks his car and woman behind carelessly crashes into him. He sues her and they get entangled legally.

She wins the case because her lawyer argues the bumper sticker was permission to crash.

I want a bumper sticker like this.

I don’t own a car though.

(This sticker idea is a central plot point in a film idea I once had. A bit trite. I’d love to know how many audience members would get the contrivance plot involving the sticker.)

Interleaved colour maps show interesting things in stedman.

Tiny tower 1.0 is almost there.

Loads of changes, including some visualisation cuteness.

Spot the stedman / plain bob.

Don’t do this hammer sniffing btw.

It was probably volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and they’re bad for you.

Apparently it could have been Styrene, or Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), or Sulfur, or some other charming things.

Air your smelly hammers out, kids.

My wonky attempt to understand the difference between flotsam and jetsam. Ha.

Tear my diagram down!

The whole legal meaning versus etymological/common use somewhat grates the hamster.

Seeing a hand drawn b+w logo being realised in 3d is lovely. And it makes some of the practicalities of logo design very real

91 steps up the main spiral. I may have miscounted.

I want to try a second print with walls that taper up (the above has 90 degree vertical walls).

Maker’s mark for a friend. First version.

Zohran Mamdani and the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection have announced a "Click to Cancel" rule.

The rule would make NYC the first city in the nation to ban subscription traps and force companies to make it just as easy to cancel subscriptions as it is to enroll.

Better pic

Also.

Cute window.

“Only if I can give you an answer”

I wrote the best ever footnote in history.

The section titles of my blog posts are touchingly silly when viewed in a table of contents

Re: Satoshi Nakamoto in the news:

A friend send me an old meme crime I committed

user abbiistabbii: The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing. Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour. It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.

I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words!

That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go

It promotes a growth mindset!!

Remember the “six degrees of Kevin bacon” thing for film actors?

It might be fun to have a “six degrees” for peals. How many hops from person A to person X.

But who is the Kevin Bacon of Peal ringing? Fabian Stedman? :)

When you try and do something like this you realise how much cleaning the data from the bellboard firehose needs. Ringers with name variations, “places” (towers) input in six different ways.

It’s completely foofed the video quality.
