Black-tailed Godwit in Golden Silence.
Bathed in the fading light of the setting sun, the black-tailed godwit stands motionless in the shallows. Only one side of its plumage catches the warm glow — the rest dissolves into darkness.

Yesterday I mentioned that Bristol Cars was founded on the basis of BMW designs and engineering picked up as reparations in the aftermath of the Second World War. By the same token, several British and American manufacturers were offered the Volkswagen operation, and famously they all turned it down. The rest, as they say, is history. I saw this early split rear window Volkswagen (‘Brezelkäfer’) at Techno Classica Essen in 2017.

Trump’s tariff-driven trade war raises a bigger question: Will companies, whether they attempt some form of partition pricing or not, take advantage of consumers’ expectations about tariffs to price-gouge?
There is nothing stopping them.

Snow Crystals | Wilson Bentley via Iconic Photos
[Shared]When Wilson Bentley died in 1931, his hometown newspaper eulogized him thus: “Longfellow said that genius is infinite painstaking. John Ruskin declared that genius is only a superior power of seeing. Wilson Bentley was a living example of this type of genius.”
A fine accolade for a photographer. Born in Vermont to a family prosperous enough to gift him a microscope at his 15th birthday, Bentley, for the next half a century, would go on to perfect a process of photographing snowflakes on black velvet...

The image displays a collection of twelve snowflakes arranged in a 3x4 grid against a black background. Each snowflake is intricately detailed, showcasing unique patterns and structures. The snowflakes vary in design, with some featuring more complex and symmetrical patterns, while others have simpler, more delicate structures. The central snowflake in the middle row is particularly prominent, with a complex and symmetrical design. The snowflakes are monochromatic, with white details on a black background, emphasizing their intricate designs. The image appears to be a page from a book, as indicated by the page number "180" at the bottom center.

Ecco una cosa che ci tenevo a farvi vedere: il prima e il dopo dell'inceratura.
Solo sul cuneo piccolino, che il corpo della pialla era già fatto, ma la differenza si vede bene.
Domattina il legno dovrebbe avere assorbito abbastanza bene la cera (magari lascio tutto sotto al sole fino all'ora di pranzo), poi vedo se farne un altro strato o meno.

Here is the back of the plane, with the stud to tap to release the blade.
Now the issue is to learn how to tap the blade to move it the right amount.
To give a ⅜ strike rather than a full strike is somehow hard to quantify 😄
It looks to good to be your first?
I realised, after, talking to you that the joint I was seeing was just the different colour of the wood that had been removed from where the wedge is inserted😵💫
Mansa reshared this.
I have other old planes, but they are too "abused", so I buy a new one (cheap Chinese product, I guess) to learn how it works before to restore the old ones.
A $127 plane¹ bought now would be a bit of waste, with my current planing skills.

Not yet, I'm still learning (and I don't have any decent wood: must travel on the Alps to pick some scraps from sawmills).
China’s experimental T-Flight maglev train, developed by CASIC, is pushing the boundaries of high-speed transport, targeting 965 kmh — slashing Beijing-Shanghai trips to just 1.5 hours. Early tests in 2024 hit 623 kph on a 2 km track, surpassing Japan’s maglev record, and achieved low-vacuum tube operation, critical for minimizing air resistance.
One quirky benefit of being a Communist Dictatorship is that you don't have a few dozen wealthy corporate moguls telling the gov't not to compete "against them" (hindering progress.)
There's a way to do this in a Capitalist Democracy: Gov't builds the tracks. The airlines provide the trains. #ThinkOutsideTheBox #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #Green #GreenTech

in reply to Andreas Kilgus • • •Guten Morgen aus #Melbourne . Danke für die Idee für Frühstücksmusik. Ich habe noch CDs im Lager, bach einem Umzug letztes Jahr. Da sind auch noch 2 Live-CDs von den Black Crowes. Bis jetzt sind nur meine Platten hier im Schrank. Heute hole ich ein Regal aus dem Laden ab, in das ich die CDs steck n möchte .
Ich habe meine Zeit Ende des Studiums und danach im Haus mit Led Zeppelin Fans verbracht, da konnte ich den Black Crowes und Tea Party z.B. nicht entkommen 😉

Liest sich nach größeren Beständen an Musikträgern. Hiesig ist eine Wand des Wohnzimmers mit Büchern (hauptsächlich der Gemahlin) und eine halbe Wand mit LPs und CDs (hauptsächlich des Gemahls der Gemahlin) voll. Stellt sich das hinsichtlich Musik bei Dir ähnlich dar?
Aha - „Tea Party" - die kenne ich noch nicht. Mal reinhören. 🙂
petros
in reply to Andreas Kilgus • • •Danke!
Tonträger: Vielleicht ein wenig weniger am Umfang, aber in der gleichen Größenordnung.
Was, was, jemand, der Black Crowes spielt, kennt DIE Tea Party nicht? Skandalös!
Sie sind Kanadier. Den Sänger, Jeff Martin, hat nach Australien verschlagen, wegen der Liebe und so. Deshalb ist die Plattenfrequenz zuletzt eher niedrig gewesen. Und weil er erst Byron Bay entfliehen musste: Es ist so relaxed, man kriegt gar nichts mehr hin, sagte er.
