I haven’t even shared it on main (although probably on my alt) so no I won’t

So, uh, looks like I'm gonna try my hand at restoring a CRT TV. The Sony PVM-9044Q is in good shape, so it didn't really require any work. However, found a JVC TM-150CG and decided to take a stab at getting it up and running. I expect that there will be more than a bit of work needed and that the 3D printer is gonna be doing some work. I don't know the condition of the tube, but shouldn't be a huge issue to track down one. Also tracked down a IF-C01COMG RGB card for the TV which will work out nicely.

The clumping reeds of Slartibartfast.
I like the way this photo turned out. The symmetry is quite pleasing. I composed the shot so the whatchamacallits (flowers, fronds, buds….what are those things?) aligned over the darker trees in the background. And that turned out nicely. I will score myself a solid 7/10.
It would have been better if there was just a smaller clump in the centre of the photo surrounded by the water.
And perhaps a hint of mist?
I must speak to Slartibartfast about this1, or perhaps God, or a physicist, or the Matrix AI……Im not sure which jurisdiction matters of aesthetic reed distribution falls under.

"Is there a VR sculpting software with real tools?"
Human beings have created societies intended to deliberately make their inhabitants dependent on institutions, organisations, companies and simply other people. They have purposely hobbled anyone's ability to live for, and by, themselves outside these same things.
Diogenes called such behaviour dehumanising.
And he was right: it is.
