There has to be evidence of their process for me to accept it as evidence of understanding/ability. I have made it clear to them that this is necessary. Their job is to convince me that they know what they're doing. (But... I'm teaching HS Mathematics). So .. I'd mark it wrong/incomplete. I'm also working on student understanding of consequences of their actions, so wouldn't give them another opportunity on that exam. They would need to improve things on the next exam.

Transcendental, even.

Yeah, this resonates. It would make for interesting research, to get away from our self-selecting anecdotal evidence. I have my own suspicion that major family issues also encourage people to move abroad, and that this can become intergenerational....

This is where fractal/fractional dimensions become useful. Living on the surface of the earth puts us in a dimension between 2 and 3, and varies depending on the environment you're living in.

Thank you so much for sharing all that! I've been putting off building a wireless hillside 46(I'm really enjoying my wired one, but the wires are annoying me), and your modifications makes it perfect for me.

Grow carrots. Make goop. Print carrots from goop. Makes perfect sense.

I see. Thanks for sharing. I'll check it out.

Can you share the files for your case? I'm wanting to make the same (Hillside 40, no?), but can only find files for a 46, and am hoping to avoid the learning curve needed for 3d modeling. Thanks.

That's another tab key for now.

Ha! I rarely use them. I also forgot a layer for them until I was reviewing what I had. I also used a minus keycode without the underscore on shift....and editing my keymaps became a bit rough. Yeah, I don't think I'm going to need the duplication, and my right and left thumbs have different resting positions, so I'll probably change things up as I'm finding I only use my right thumb for space and enter.

So, after some playing around trying to figure out a preferred physical layout, I decided a Hillside 46 splayed keyboard would be about right. Thanks to Leo at Beekeeb for answering all my questions before ordering and during the build! Surface mount soldering was tricky, but everything works on the first try! I finally can use Dvorak with keycaps in the right place. Keymapping is a work in progress as I am getting used to this, and I am still trying to figure out how to get my Unicode characters to display in Linux (though for the Mac they show up fine). Now for lots of practice to build up new muscle memory, and develop a lighter touch so I don't keep inputting command characters unintentionally.

Natto in progress (slrpnk.net)

Started a batch of natto this evening. 600g of dry soybeans soaked about 8 hours, then pressure cooked for 20 minutes. Mixed in some spores, put a thin layer of the beans in these glass containers, then covered with a damp cloth and lids. I'll keep these in my makeshift incubator (a cooler with a reptile cage heating mat) overnight at 40C, then put them in the fridge in the morning, and enjoy them the day after.

I have some Iranian friends who occasionally bring pickles over to share. I decided to make a fermented version (as my friends usually just use vinegar), and the pickles turned out amazing!

Be warned, this recipe requires a lot of chopping.

I used a recipe similar to the link, but substituted the vinegar with a 2% salt lactoferment. The spicing is crucial to its distinct flavour.

Park composting (slrpnk.net)

This is our local park composting setup for leaves and grass, not long after having removed finished material. Leaves (browns) are abundant in late winter, and grass is abundant in summer. Water is usually an issue, as volunteers who take leaves don't have time to wet everything down, so that usually gets resolved when we turn the compost (a community event 2-3 times a year). We just had an automatic watering system installed, so that should help. Doors are attached with wingnuts and come off fairly easily.

Hey! Here's a photo from my archives. 20% rye sourdough (with 25% high gluten flour and the rest AP). Overnight bulk ferment at 15C. For a while during COVID I was baking once weekly for some supplemental income. This was early on in my learning process for how to manage larger batches. It was helpful to have a commercial fridge available to slow things down, as I am in the tropics.

I'm digging up some old photos to share. I'm partial to ginger beers, and experimented with other flavours available here (in Taiwan). Roselle is our favourite (with lemon, of course), and always carbonated quickly. Turmeric by itself was too much flavour-wise, but half and half with ginger was tasty.
