Another source -- but this time from the English perspective is the book "The Slave Trade Debate: Contemporary Writings For and Against" which reproduces pamphlets from the 1780s and 1790s on both sides of the debate.
And behold, the snark was a boojum.
Some many people remember Ivor the Engine that there will shortly be a OO scale model: rapidotrains.co.uk/ivor-the-eng...
Is anybody making these boards available or do I have to go to JLCPCB myself? Or is there a complete kit available?

I've been programming for over 50 years -- starting with a desk sized computer with 8k words. Now I have a laptop with 16GB. One million times more memory. Instruction timing was around 25µS, now is maybe 30pS (across all cores). I.e. a factor of about a million here as well.
@wx1box.bsky.social In Carlisle, MA at 0745: 1.5" snow on the board. Temp 27F. Beautiful sunny day. No wind. Spotter #15-557
@wx1box.bsky.social In Carlisle, MA at 1600: 4.1" snow on the board. Temp 20F. Wind blowing a bit causing some drifts near the house. Spotter #15-557
Ok. I'll clear every 6 hours during the day and probably 12 hours overnight (and note that fact).
Thanks
@wx1box.bsky.social With long duration snowstorms, how should snowfall be measured? I.e. how often should I reset the snowboard? Over the weekend, I reset at 8AM on Monday and recorded very little extra snow. I suspect that had I reset at 8PM on Sunday as well, then my totals would have been higher.
2ft ruler doesn't quite reach the top of the snow drift on the front walkway.
Drifiting snow covers well over half a window.
@wx1box.bsky.social In Carlisle MA at 0810: 12.2" snow on the board. Temp 13F. Have reset snowboard. Snow falling very lightly. Drifting overnight. #15-557
More than 2 ft on the front walkway in places.
@wx1box.bsky.social In Carlisle, MA at 2105: 10.7" snow on the board (i.e. storm total so far). Some drifting especially by house. Temp 11F. Spotter #15-557.
Snow now over the top of my boots in places. I need longer boots!

Got a couple of old disposable cameras developed. This was an early attempt by my daughter to take a mirror selfie. Her modern work is*much* better!
Isn't that what LinkedIn is for?
Shades of "I Always Do What Teddy Says" by Harry Harrison. The future is scary.
I think that the point is that *any* change that is made will affect people both positively and negatively. The trick is finding the right balance.
As you get older, things like font size and contrast become more important. Fancy menus in romantically lit restaurants are the worst!
Curb cuts, unfortunately, cause problems for the blind and visually impaired as it becomes less obvious when you are about to step into the road. The better cuts have bumps or ridges before you get to the road that can be detected by a blind person.
@wx1box.bsky.social In Carlisle, MA at 1800: 1.3" of wet snow on the board. Temp 32F. Currently raining. Nasty outside!

Nice vertical red aurora apparently coming out of a tree.
Photos from last night in Carlisle, MA. Nice reds framed by trees. #aurora @wx1box
I *wish* that LinkedIn had a way of annotating each person with my reason for accepting an invite. I see all these people and I can't remember why I'm linked to them. For all I know, LinkedIn could be silently adding connections without my knowledge ☹️
@wx1box In Carlisle, MA at 0900: 1.38" rain in the gauge. Spotter #15-557.
Trying to vibe code a wideband morse decoder. It *sort of* works with nice clean signals. But with real recordings, it is unusable. The idea is to feed output from ka9q-radio (by @ka9q.bsky.social) into it and decode all CW traffic! Thoughts appreciated.
