Hopefully this will be the first of many I take this season. Hopefully^2^ I'll even take the time to break out my "real camera" at some point and go 🐝 hunting
TIL that IBM designs and/or fabricates ICs.

In the past five years, the air district has issued 369 notices of violation to the company, mostly at its Fremont facility. Though all of the violations are still pending, meaning the agency has not resolved the issues, data from the past five years does not show any financial penalties associated with the alleged violations.
Sigh
Sounds like an interesting after work test! You've got me very curious. If I'm doing this hand held there will likely be some wind, so things are going to move a tiny bit naturally. That and most of my lenses exhibiting focus breathing, so even if the camera were stationary the perspective would change slightly.
I'll hopefully follow up soon.
Nice shot! Thanks for sharing the technique.
I'm pretty sure my body doesn't support in-body bracketing, but it does have a fast burst rate. I wonder if a slight front to back rock would be enough to get the shots needed for focus stacking.
Stacking any quantity photos of a flower like this would be maddening, at least to me. They love to move in even the slightest breeze
QR codes in restaurants are usually just links. Without a browser how would you follow them?
You're not kidding. Some towns like Los Algodones built their entire economy around medical tourism.
Very cool! The highly glossy abdomen threw me off for a second until I saw the fuzz.
That's sad to hear :( we live in Northern US - not all the way north, but reasonably close. We had more bees than usual earlier this season, but it's not really bee season yet. Our yard has a lot of clover and pollenator friendly plants. In a few more weeks we'll have a ton of bees around.
Great success! gmail flagged the order e-mail as spam, but all is well. It ain't much, but I purchased three total knifes in two orders - one for a friend in another state and two for me.
Re: photos. I have a metric crap ton of photos going back to my first DSLR. I keep all the unculled photos in a photo hoarding directory on my NAS. That's changed since moving to mirrorless (yay bursts), but I still have > 1 TB of photos spanning about 15 years in a... very messy web of directories. Layer in another 15 years of smartphone photos between my wife and I and... yeah.
Ah, yes. Photo organization. I can relate. Pictures are back! But now that I've escaped purgatory it looks like the cart is broken. I tried both Firefox and Safari and clicking the I Want One! button redirects to an empty cart.
Your progress across a number of projects and disciplines is impressive! I never adjusted to the reality of life with kids, so my projects have been piling up for a while. Thankfully the kids are reaching the point of wanting to participate in making things, but they don't have a great attention span yet.
One of the (many) projects is a more modern take on WinISD. I have it in my head that I want a desktop application, but you know what's nice about web? It doesn't care about OS.
In some cases, for me at least, the best projects are the ones never started.
Well, almost. I didn't give myself enough tolerance in the cutout for the speaker and it doesn't fit well. On to v1.01!
It will be a 240x280x70ish speaker stand. The first go ground with it flat and support free resulted in warping despite a 60°C chamber, so I stood it on its end, cut print speed by a third, and added the breaks to reduce stress.
This will take a while...
Note that the bottom has a chmafer, so although there's a shadow it's not warping.
I turned the grow lights on early this year to grow some potatoes, which I'm sure is a totally a great use of energy. I'm really hoping to grow another round of starts after not having a very good year this year due to keeping our potatos in smaller pots and us not getting a ton of rain. Next year I'll put them in a much larger planter.
I'm also trying to get some cherry pits to seed. I collected the cherries, which were delicious, from a tree in our neighborhood. I'm betting the mother tree isn't a graft given its location and age. If any of you have any tips, I'm all ears. The pits are now a year old and spent the time in dry dirt on this table.
Title basically.
One of my windows computers, which happens to be the one I happen to do the most CAD work on, can't upgrade to windows 11 due to having an Ivy Bridge era Xenon (it's an E5-1680 v2 for the curious, older used workstations are fantastic bang for the buck computers).
Switching to Linux on this computer has been in the cards for a while, but I hadn't been in a hurry to do it. Looks like my hand might be getting forced...
The coaster is shivering timbers at Michigan's adventure.
At least the Canadian wildfires are good for softer light. It's very surreal having a cloud free sunny day without the sun actually being that intense.
The scene smelled delicious!
We saw a pretty good amount of them in our yard this June. It was nice. I can't remember seeing many lightning bugs for years.

This is an actual thing. It even has a fancy name. Geophagia is nearly universal around the world in tribal and traditional rural societies.
