Last Notes npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Gm. npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm WTF 😳😀 Awesome! Im time poor atm but I have a little bit of music experience and would like to give it a try. npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Do you have some music background? npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm 👀 https://blossom.primal.net/42748a80152baef24ca36cfafb2e5b280ded4c7cfa633971bcc91ccdb1da3d23.jpg npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm What is this I see 👀 npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Why titanium? What about stainless steel? npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Feeling a bit more together today. I’ve got a loose plan which should get me through most of the day with something to show for the effort. Totally helps that the sun is shining!😀 #nevent1q…mkjm npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Gm! ☕️🌞❤️ npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Pretty sure I have a combination of cognitive overload, choice overwhelm and task switching friction all taxing me at the same time. Bit of a slog really. 😮💨 npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Dune part 2 done. Time for a walk up and down the aisle a few times. 6h 46m to go. npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm So it looks like we might have got away without one single lecture about why my wife (their daughter), my kids and I are all going to hell. #nevent1q…ash2 npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Nice. What was your effects chain? npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm GM. Last day with the in laws then a 13+ hour flight home. Should be walking in my front door this time tomorrow 😀 npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Love it! I have a similar set of thoughts. I refer to it as choosing timelines, a collapsing of my experience of the universe down to a single moment by moment path. Sounds batshit crazy but it is what works for me. npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Can’t quite follow that math… 🤔 npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Yes to the first sentence but the rest is ✈️🤪 npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm As usual @nprofile…8jqw got me thinking, and this time it was about “respect.” It’s an interesting psychological posture that comes in 3 basic forms, respect for personhood, respect for character traits and respect for a role in society. I am in the camp where I fundamentally respect someone’s personhood, but when it comes to character I am definitely in the “it’s got to be earned” camp. From day one I am focusing in on both the micro human transactions and also the big interactions. I want to see how a person builds their story over time. I also want to hear from others who have had dealings. I want to gather information about how they handle the really tough situations that come from time to time. Yeah, I am firmly in the camp of respect is earned and NEVER given lightly! Thanks Contra for the prompt!😁 #nevent1q…ahen npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm I searched and couldn’t find it. Maybe it needs to index or something? npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Awesome and congratulations!! npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Oh wow! Such a buzz kill! npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm I suppose I should have asked you to clarify what you are respecting? The human being or the human being plus a belief system. What about ideology? You may learn that someone holds to an ideology that you oppose based on your own beliefs while at the same time know nothing about their behaviour. Certain behaviours are expressions of ideologies. Some people figure out that they do not want or need to see expressions of behaviour because the other person’s adopted ideology or belief system tells them what they need to know. npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Next steps for me is running a node, a relay and agents. npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Based on behaviour only? npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Gm. Last couple of days before heading home. Not really looking forward to going home although I miss the dog. 🐶 npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Nothing so far that helps me understand how to get to the next step. I don’t do X. npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm A few interesting personal observations. #nevent1q…3ztm npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm This is fantastic! npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Gm. 🙂 npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Ok, so I am a bit slow and had to sleep on it. Are you saying that because bitcoiners trust maths for verification of the blockchain, and maths ultimately requires a transcendent mind, they are using a super high standard of verification (probably the highest). Therefore it is not inconsistent to accept that there are other truths that are verified using a different system such as historical evidence, and scholars of history also have a super high standard for verification (even though it is different than using maths), therefore there is no double standard being used by a person who verifies the bitcoin blockchain and then verifies the resurrection of Jesus if they are using the appropriate methods of verification for each subject. Or in other words, both methods of investigation have equally high standards of verification, therefore both forms of investigation end in discovering transcendent truth? npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Was there supposed to be audio commentary with this video? npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm This is a great perspective! #nevent1q…vj6d npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Just so that I understand your logic correctly is the argument essentially “maths is abstract therefore a transcendent god exists” or am I missing one or more steps in your reasoning? I am really interested in understanding the logical bridge you are proposing. npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Gm. ☕️😀 npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm My inner child has been satisfied! 😀 #nevent1q…d792 npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm I am doing a first for me, riding on the top level of a double decker bus, right at the very front! 😁 npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm @npub14hq…jjzu has got me thinking, not about good, but good enough. #nevent1q…6t5t npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Codex seems slow this morning. npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm This. Also, Gm. #nevent1q…vfxp npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Can totally relate. About to finish up POA obligations with my mums estate next 6 weeks. We had a 5 year journey that escalated slowly but ended in a stroke. We were fortunate to have had open and honest discussions about this phase with all family members involved. Currently staying with parent in laws and their family communication style involves a complete avoidance of frank intergenerational discussion about the realities of aging in place. They all know shit could happen at any moment but no one is grounding their journey in reality. I can see a shit show on the horizon. 😟 npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm How many times did you go up and down that ladder? npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Currently overseas atm doing this project but I know Repco and or Super Cheap in NZ carry the Meguiar’s brand. They should carry the same product. Otherwise there will be a competing brand with a similar car paint detailing product like this. Started by a hose down and then leave to dry. Use a clean dry rag with a pea size dab of product on small sections at a time. Don’t let it dry. I went over it twice. It takes a bit of effort and patience but the result looks great! npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Not sure who needs to hear this but you can rejuvenate powder coated deck railings with this stuff. Latest job for the in laws. 👍 #diy #restoration https://blossom.primal.net/9665bb54fee78e8a7b2be8e3b546346fccd8bb25f4d4b613956eab058dc4914e.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/05108b2f8543f0a7487256e69771a67a1048979a1dce14618fb8ee5f0eb5bdd7.jpg npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Hahaha, sometimes things move in transit! npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm When you desperately need to adjust your crotch/junk but you are out in public! 😳 npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm When in blackberry territory… https://blossom.primal.net/825d114c664c44a055cf8c992f967ce60f4dd1b7be162ec9fa08bfe26286990f.jpg npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Today’s dev work on my boat hull design tool focused on a multi chine feature. Up till now I have been keeping things simple by restricting the hulls to a single chine. Now I can add up to 3. All hull facets can be exported as flat panels. #boat #design https://blossom.primal.net/ec9d28d6922a721934c2fd579f7da720a7b944687d2376fed45102e0917ccc41.png https://blossom.primal.net/616c3bdd805ea7663b51c1d106c829d586b908920501fccd4ea130cf7096c95a.png https://blossom.primal.net/717a60a16f97aa6b6292d3ef9f82b89b2cf2855ab8e6c6cc088b19c2c8a294c8.png https://blossom.primal.net/09df292a63f338ab6a40c18fa35d97a119ed9e0bb3b30a683c9d52fa9a84b4a5.png https://blossom.primal.net/9a32ff4e67470fdf27d1f8ab5262b9d30fbcaa05ab995571a17a035414307576.jpg npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Yeah in hindsight. I am interested in why those who were experienced in the matter didn’t check or give me a heads up. All good. Lesson learned 😁 npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Surprised that these types of glass railing panels are not laminated. npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Well that was exciting! I was sitting outside under a first floor deck working on my laptop while 3 contractors were dismantling the deck railing above. BOOM! Next thing I’m sitting in a shower of glass! I’m all good but it could have been worse 🤪 https://blossom.primal.net/23a87a22b6b6ea6d5f6dafc059ebcc95c4233ca9a4198f9c94340334ea9e935c.jpg npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Gm! 😁 npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm I’m working on a boat hull design tool. https://blossom.primal.net/4b1781f55cc9df32f0e1571bbdcfa9402226e614d0a7f38478c35222783d89ed.png npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm This is the way! npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Sol is my go to. Super interesting to see how it does its thing! npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Yup! npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm SHOCKING!! 😳 Unbelievable even. Today I saw with my own eyes UNSUPERVISED children in the MID DAY SUN fishing off some rocks with NO LIFE JACKETS in sight. They had NO PHONES either! How on earth could they tell the time? How on earth could their parents keep track of them?They weren’t even listening to music! There were NO WATER BOTTLES, they were not wearing SUN PROTECTION shirts, they were climbing all over the breakwater like billy goats. One of the was even BAREFOOT! WTF is happening in society when this type of behaviour is going on??? https://blossom.primal.net/d613600878efe72e0adf42f61837ae44be64f693181a6d6f6434c19636ec345e.jpg npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Phew, found one with no gelatine! https://blossom.primal.net/eb959da8c2ae2ef76dd34729215547bb3b31b0dc4161e0acf1dcf6516b343c2c.jpg #nevent1q…9l3k npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Today’s task for my boat design app focused on adding an immersed sectional area curve in the Hydrostatics workspace. It shows how the hull’s underwater volume is distributed longitudinally at the current load waterline. It provides an immediate visual link between hull shape, displacement distribution, and centre of buoyancy. #boat #design https://blossom.primal.net/6e97800ee6a73652898ae9ff260d9ae5cf54c2ad30e90c6a694be8348b989756.png npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm We were in Brookswood Langley near the rec centre.

It will then continue to turn left until you get back to the beginning. That way you will be able to say that you have sailed circles around everybody and everything!😁 npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Today in my boat hull design tool I worked on proportional hull-depth transformation and controlled draft adjustment. The app can now: * Increase or reduce the measured overall depth of an existing hull. * Reach an exact target hull-depth measurement without rebuilding the design from setup. * Preserve the keel and centreline profile, including the established rocker. * Keep a flat-bottomed hull flat while moving the sheer vertically. * Proportionally move both the chine and sheer on a V-bottomed hull while keeping the keel fixed. * Retain selected locked vertical control positions as local design anchors. * Preview the resulting principal dimensions and hydrostatics before applying the transformation. * Prevent unsafe changes that would cross or invert longitudinal hull edges. * Keep the load waterline, manual weights and calibrated reference images fixed during a hull-depth transformation. * Apply the complete transformation as a single Undo/Redo operation. * Adjust the load-waterline height independently without changing the hull’s geometry. * Calculate measured draft from the load waterline to the lowest point of the hull. * Preview changes to LWL, displacement, longitudinal centre of buoyancy and vertical centre of buoyancy. * Prevent invalid waterlines below the hull or above the lowest sheer edge. * Save and reopen both hull-depth and waterline changes as part of the project. Together, these tools make it possible to distinguish between changing the physical depth of the hull and exploring how the same hull behaves at a different loading condition. #boat #design https://blossom.primal.net/002056e657d975b56223583fb6a591258e2b197051a646d02ae87fc7284bde25.jpg https://blossom.primal.net/e1fe6b196e88465f77b73888b2fd05daafe21424f6b1b6023bf4d48fbbfa1d5d.jpg npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm “One of the most interesting and harmful delusions to which men and nations can be subjected is that of imagining themselves special instruments of the Divine Will.” Bertrand Russell. npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm GM! ☕️😀 #nevent1q…cgwr npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm It almost ruined a challenging conversation. 🤪 npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm I had an exchange earlier today here on nostr where the other person brushed my reply off because I “sounded (wrote) like AI.” Super interesting feedback, about him as well as me! npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Poor guy! npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm No. 3.

I have 3 sons and have learned by personal experience that nuance matters when helping them through their shit. I agreed with the starting point of your post but I think you needed to qualify it by describing what the barriers to entry for your winemaking passion/experience were. If you required no credentials then the barrier is lower for your chosen passion. I know you mean well but I am sticking my neck out about the nuance because without highlighting it your advice is potentially terrible. 🤷♂️ Anyway, we could be potentially arguing about something even more useless like which translation of the bible is the best for understanding universal blanket black and white saving truth! 🤪 npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Or the governing authority that requires you to have a qualification in order to obtain a license for you to do your thing. 🤷♂️ npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Hahaha, not sure if you are being facetious or genuinely agree. I pushed back a little on your post because I was personally affected by a set of credentials that mean nothing in my chosen industry. In fact what mattered most was a proof of work history. My chosen industry/passion is so loosely governed that the lowest point of entry is simply a willingness to work OR a bunch of cash to bank roll a business venture. There are however some industries adjacent to mine that we are always use that require credentials to practice. The body of work gets built AFTER the credential is attained. While I absolutely agree in principle with what you are saying in terms of getting after your passion, I think it would be a crying shame to have encouraged someone to waste X thousands of hours perfecting a craft skill set only to be denied access to the ranks of your passion at the last minute because you need to be “qualified.” npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm So what you are saying is that you should not be afraid of granting yourself permission to go after your passion? You are saying don’t let the lack of acquiring a credential in order to practice your passion stop you from finding an alternative way to gain the skills, insights and network benefits that usually come from jumping through a credential hoop. You are focusing on the personal permission side of the equation and not on the permission side given by a legal organisation that requires credentials to practice. npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm GM. ☕️🌞 npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm I get what you are saying but it’s only one side of the coin. While it is possible to identify and practice a “craft” that you can bypass some of the so called required hoops that get you your piece of paper, many industries are built to be gated communities where the only way you can legally practice your skill and craft is via licensing based on your expensive piece of paper or credential. Lots of people are fully aware that while much of their credential experience is a joke, they can also see that it is foundational to the “privilege to practice.” npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Currently my favourite game to play on my phone is a version of Sudoku that I had Codex build. npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm I’ve just started a read of the bhagavad gita.

Is anybody using one, or knows someone using one to aid mobility? My father in law is a paraplegic who is not quite wheelchair bound. He currently uses crutches and is fitted with leg braces. He is aging pretty quick these days and I am wondering how we can extend his mobility for the next few years. Thanks #asknostr npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Following on from yesterday’s work on longitudinal hull transformation we can now do the following in they Y transverse axis: * Increase or reduce the measured beam overall (BOA) of an existing boat hull design without returning to Setup. * Enter a specific measured BOA and have the application solve the transformation needed to reach it. * Scale the hull symmetrically to port and starboard around the fixed centreline Y=0. * Preserve the hull’s longitudinal and vertical geometry—X and Z coordinates remain unchanged. * Keep selected interior Y control positions fixed while the surrounding hull transforms. * Temporarily disregard those retained positions when a completely proportional transformation is required. * Detect and reject a requested BOA when retained control positions make the target impossible. * Preview the resulting BOA and predicted displacement before applying the change. * Keep calibrated reference images fixed while the hull becomes wider or narrower. * Keep manual-weight X, Y and Z positions fixed during a beam transformation. * Automatically regenerate stations, transoms, panels, hydrostatics, centres and fabrication outputs. * Apply the complete transformation as a single Undo/Redo operation. * Save, reopen and export the transformed design without losing the new dimensions. * Explore wider and narrower versions safely using duplicated projects. This allows different hull beams to be explored late in the design process while preserving the established length, depth, reference drawings and downstream construction geometry. #boat #design https://blossom.primal.net/3a85647de9f1c4f262d38eae4be6822a60db4e363e923de03ea4ac60cc923e8b.jpg npub1nvenfdndqszkyycc8vhrvlrd067xqjt0pf03u2uwllazt0dqnw0q66z58r gjm Were those insights unique to each of those titles? In other words, if you had not read just one of those titles would you have never attained the insight from the others?

These features make it possible to explore different hull lengths late in the design process while preserving the work already invested in the hull’s shape, references and construction geometry. #boat #design https://blossom.primal.net/41468f339f920fb16a64920254d8850453630bf8ce11f3bb211c647098715b30.jpg
