I got to see this match live yesterday.
TIL: A men's player *can* hit a faster forehand than Sabalenka, but they usually don't. She tries to kill almost every ball she touches! Always heat!🔥
Among top 2024 US Open men and women, the fastest avg forehand was Sabalenka.
1 mph faster than Alcaraz🤯

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.

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.

in reply to Jonathan • • •The image shows three women standing on a sandy beach, with the ocean visible in the background. They are all nude, with their bodies painted in a way that creates the illusion of wearing swimsuits. The woman in the middle has a vertical line painted down her torso, resembling a swimsuit strap, and a small triangle painted at the bottom, suggesting a bikini bottom. The women on either side have similar markings, with the left woman having a triangle on her left side and the right woman on her right side. They are all smiling and appear to be enjoying themselves. The beach is populated with other people in the background, and there are beach chairs and a cooler visible. The sky is overcast, and the overall atmosphere is casual and relaxed.
