Work in progress.
I'm slightly obsessed with turn-of-the-(19th)century theatre/pantomime/circus playbills at the moment, so I'm re-creating posters and ads for more recent productions (and products) in that style.

Well. Two levels.
And I like both of them.

I just had a discussion with a friend, that the last years each felt exhausting like a complete decade.
Then I remembered this quote:
“His age was indeterminate. But in cynicism and general world weariness, which is a sort of carbon dating of the personality, he was about seven thousand years old.”
― Terry Pratchett
And we both felt as Terry has been looking at us when he wrote it.
@h2onolan I have recommended adding a powerdrill to a manual standy-sitty desk today though.
"with at least two memory positions too: one at the bottom and one just above the top where it strips the threads badly"
@h2onolan never forget the 20v coffee machine one of them made...
it sucked, but sooo slowly...

@foone tbf it's mostly a unit used by the upper-class pheasant-shooting set and bank-robbers these days - we haven't had much call to update it.
by my limited understanding it's related to the olde brit way of defining smoothbore cannon as 12-pounder etc (though those were based on iron not lead balls) due to relatively poor accuracy of measurement back then

Instead of storing my data in the cloud, I just store it in the bush. It's the same thing, only palette-swapped. More accessible, too.

@cmconseils I am in this picture and do not like it
@windytan thick enough specs and you can view the spectrum-spread of purple and orange LEDs. annoying with RGB keyboards though.
"twitch" your eye motion to see what pulse-width is used for LED dimming.
LEDs are fun when you can't see or think normally :D
