Found the time to play with the test water-jet-cut stained glass globe pieces. (Done with scrap glass so the colors are random.) I definitely need to massage the outlines more, sacrificing some geographic accuracy to keep the resulting pieces thick enough to not get completely covered in the copper tape. The goal is to have all the solder joints be *only* coastline or lines of latitude/longitude. But overall, I think this is going to work, using this offset of 0.4mm to account for the tape thickness.
A slice of South America and Antarctica, from the Tropic of Capricorn down to the 75th parallel, made from glass tiles in green and brown. Each has been lined with copper foil tape, in preparation for soldering as stained glass. The two bottom right tiles are in the wrong orientation.

School tries to cover huge 65 foot penis on roof that is visible from space

The 20m long knob was seemingly painted on top of the Waldorf School in the Kreuzberg district in Berlin.

I recall a similar story about a kid painting one on the roof of the family home. As the house was near a small airfield, pilots started using "the roof with a knob painted on it" as a navigation aid to orient themselves when approaching the airfield and were annoyed when the kid's parents found out about it and had it removed.

Trump will be talking to Putin Tuesday, and he thinks he can get a lasting peace by drawing lines on a map of Ukraine without Ukraine.

Putin is going to run in circles around the most naive president in US history, and he will use every psychological trick in the book to make Trump believe that it is all Ukraine's fault, that Trump's glorious, beautiful, perfect peace deal won't work.

And as always, Trump will make sure there is no historic record of the conversation.

With US pulling out of NATO, Norway will no longer be safe from Russia. I believe they will probably annex Svalbard. Maybe more. Question is when. Maybe Putin will take back the baltic states first.

Land concessions is a really bad idea.

At the very least, any land concessions should come with a NATO membership for Ukraine.

🆕 blog! “Extracting content from an LCP "protected" ePub”

As Cory Doctorow once said "Any time that someone puts a lock on something that belongs to you but won't give you the key, that lock's not there for you."

But here's the thing with the LCP DRM scheme; they do give you the key! As I've written about previously, LCP mostly relies on the user…

Yeah, the PCBs I designed for the new Chowndolo arrived at destination but I made a mistake in ordering the components (a 4.7 k resistor in stead of a 4.7...).

I was unaware of Eurocircuits and just checked them out. am I wrong in thinking that the prices are extremely high? I just put in the same dimensions/specs into JLC and Eurocircuits and the difference was €12 vs €224! I like the idea of getting my things made in the EU but that makes it very tough...
