More grackle posting.
More grackle posting.
This one is from back in 2012. According to my mom, this bird was raised by her neighbors, which is why it felt confident enough to perch on me like this, demanding snacks from everyone nearby.

The tardy boys making excellent points on how Biden has co-opted Trump's platform. We're basically in for a third Trump term no matter what.

Took my daughter for a blood draw today and we got to use a vein visualization device for the first time. It wasn't this exact model, but it was pretty similar: https://christiemed.com/products/veinviewer-models/veinviewer-vision2/
Maybe I'm just basic, but I was really impressed. Apparently it uses an infrared camera to see the patient's blood vessels and then it uses a projector to display them on the patient's skin so that the phlebotomist has an easier time finding a good blood vessel. Brilliant!

Yes, I know it says to drink from the can, but they gave me a glass. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
If you're looking for The Alchemist beer in #NewJersery, they're serving cans of Focal Banger and Heady Topper here at Cloverleaf Tavern in Caldwell.

I am of course pro #HydrogenEconomy, but this sort of nonsense is just too much.

A practice shot of the moon.
A practice shot of the moon.
I'm trying to get ready for the eclipse that's coming up. Supposedly the exposure settings you need for a good shot of a full moon will work for a total eclipse.
My setup is a little bit janky: it's a 400mm Sigma telephoto lens intended for a Minolta 35mm SLR mounted to a Nikon DSLR adapter mounted to a Nikon D3000 DSLR, which has a partial frame sensor.

Apparently, as far as a 15A circuit breaker is concerned, a paperclip is just another light bulb.

The flowerbeds in front of my house could use some work.

I'd like to replace what I've got with some colorful plants, but I'm not sure what to pick that's appropriate for the environment or even what sort of design guidelines to follow that will lead to a handsome result. Would anyone care to offer some suggestions? This side of the house gets plenty of sun and faces South. The location is in Essex County, New Jersey.

I know it's just a sparrow, but I thought the lens flare was really cool.

Our tooth fairy is a little bit extra and likes to bring shiny coins from around the world in exchange for fresh teeth.

Damn squirrels. 🐿️
Damn squirrels. 🐿️
Look how they massacred my boy. I didn't mind them occasionally helping themselves, but now they've ruined it for everyone for the foreseeable future. At least the camera module and solar panel are okay, so maybe I can design and build something more resilient to these infernal rodents. Shame on #BirdBuddy that their feeder can't withstand a seven foot drop onto grass.

My five year old asked me what calceulus is.
My five year old asked me what calceulus is.
The context is that I'm an engineer and she wanted to know what I learned in engineering school, so I said calculus. (In my case, I only made it to pre-calc in highschool.) I swear I'm not the type of parent to try and push this stuff on her. I said it's about understanding how things change and then I tried to illustrate it. I'm open to suggestions on how I could answer her better.

If you use enough electrical tape, that counts as a junction box, right?

I'm a hack myself, so I get it, but jeez. A wet application like a dishwasher installation really isn't the place for this sort of carelessness.
The second picture shows how I remotely open a circuit breaker.
This post is a follow to my previous dishwasher install post (https://pixelfed.crimedad.work/p/crimedad/664264701761318465).

I took this photo back in 2011 from somewhere in the southern part of the Big Island of Hawaii.
