Intro 5/10
This paper circuit project became my all-time favorite for parent-child workshops. It never fails to amaze kids or parents as the result is just fun to use and the build process is easy and straightforward. The idea is quite simple, and you can also repurpose an old PC fan for it. You can check my workshop instructions here: voltpaperscissors.com/spinartrβ¦

Edward Hopper'sΒ Nighthawks (1942)Β doesn't just evoke a certain stripe of mid-century, after-hours, big-city American loneliness; it has more or less come to stand for the feeling itself.Colin Marshall (Openculture.com)

Has anyone done a good analysis of how self repair could affect product liability when things go awry and someone is injured?
(This may become an even greater issue as cars get more dependent on sensors for driver assist functions. I've seen a lot of repairs made by amateurs that are downright dangerous.)

The image depicts a fantasy scene with a central figure, a woman with white hair, standing on a rocky outcrop. She is dressed in a black and silver outfit with a purple cape, holding a staff with a twisted design and purple gemstones. Her posture is confident, with her arms crossed. To her left, a large, orange dragon with sharp teeth and horns is visible, partially emerging from the rocks. On the ground, there are four white candles and a bitten red apple. To the right, a translucent, white, horned figure is seen, possibly a spirit or demon. The background features a blue sky with clouds and a rocky landscape, adding to the mystical atmosphere.

Bob Dylan Explains Why Music Has Been Getting Worse
One often hears that there's no money to be made in music anymore. But then, there was no money to be made in music when Bob Dylan started his career eitherβat least according to Bob Dylan.Colin Marshall (Openculture.com)
Was reading a bit about Zane Grey, the author of popular Westerns, and discovered he had an estate in Altadena, not far from you. It burned in the January fires. Figured I'd pass this along in case it might interest you as a bike outing destination.
