@sullybiker btw "no one has ever seen before" includes by me. I never saw more than 1 percent of what I'm showing here in a form other than a postage-stamp sized image on a proof sheet until I started scanning the negatives.

I have a Ryobi powerpack that takes the batteries from my garden stuff. My youngest asks hopefully "Does it do Internet?"

Severe thunderstorm and tornado warning. The power is out. November. It's insane what is happening with the climate.

For all the shit algorithms get, for all the talk of the death of the album, sometimes after an album Spotify will find something I've never heard of that is absolutely brilliant.

Damon Hill in Michael Schumacher's B194 at Goodwood. The Thinkpad is interesting. Most of these early 90s cars required legacy gear to talk to the ECU. Cosworth have done a lot of work updating the engine management black box to contemporary standards

The article explores how both Jane Austen and Charles Darwin questioned societal perceptions of beauty, focusing on inner qualities over outward appearances. Austen's novels and Darwin's theory of evolution converged to challenge traditional aesthetic standards.

Denver, November 2018, from an American Airlines A321, headed to Las Vegas. Using my old Pixel 2's night mode. Came out alright.

My ride back from London, at what would become a very foggy Heathrow. Having never been on a 787 before 2023, I've now been on them a half-dozen times. Quiet and comfortable, the higher cabin pressure is the nicest thing.

Something I enjoy about the fediverse is when you get these membership surges, because of the curated nature of your timeline, you don't really see it unless you go looking for it. This makes for a much more pleasant experience, and one the other places can't replicate. The lack of manipulated trends helps, too.
