looks like reincarnation is a massively universal concept. the flowchart includes lots of cultures and religions and applies to dead people but how does it feel about buildings? so what if they never had cells or a brain. anyway, here goes with the past lives of this beauty: post office, butcher shop, antique store, lawyer's office, bumper sticker designer, residence with fake frosted windows and, my favorite, prop for the movie "what lies beneath" (i probably missed a few). there's a story in that last one but let's leave it beneath. cheers.

Here I learn,
That every grain of saind will interact with water, gravity, and light to show me what the Tao means...oppose the forces, and you will be met with great resistance.

I've stuffed all my other pillows (the giant Lightning McQueen pillow and the other Pooh pillow that I got from the Dan and Olay Sayonara Sale) into black or checkered pillow cases but I just can't bear to do that to my 6-year-old Pooh Pillow. It's kinda special, you see.
Anyway, some people turn to their comfort food for familiarity, emotional security, or special reward. I admit I'm one of those. But unless a Jolly Hotdog magically appears in front of me at this moment, I guess I'm gonna squeeze PoohPillow tight for what little comfort it can give me.
Ugh.
I'm senti~ing these days, I wonder why. Must be those flowcharts. Must be those damned train rides. Must be the stress. Yes, that's it. Just blame stress.
Whatever.

I remember when .... programming flowcharts were done manually, hours were spent keying punched cards for program and data.

The piece sent to me from voraciousbrain for the Phat Quarter Zen Swap. On the back she has written "There is nothing more Zen than a flow chart" ! I love the sparkly thread around the "Oh Snap' that looks like lights!
Is time travel more interesting as mere transportation, or as a reality changing tool? If you really had a properly functioning time machine that could move backwards and forwards through time, what problem could you not solve? Just go back in time and fix it. Screw it up? Go back in time and fix it again.
Which may be why the scope of time travel is often limited. The time machine is broken, or stolen, or out of power. Or there’s no machine at all and a person is just randomly propelled through time and space. Sometimes, the problem is simply ignored, with mixed results.
Doctor Who, for example, uses a functional time and space machine that can go anywhere and anywhen in the universe. Yet nearly every episode features a “beat the clock” sprint through streets and hallways. Why? Why not step into the Tardis, roll the clock back fifteen minutes, then casually stroll to the doomsday machine and save the day? Because that’s boring. So they just pretend they don’t have a time machine, until they want a time machine.
Or Terminator. From our perspective it’s been 30 years of humans foiling killing machines sent from the future. But what’s Skynet doing exactly in the future? Was it sending a Terminator in, then looking around for a few seconds to see if it worked and the future changed? Would it even be aware the future changed? Or was Skynet just a cold, calculating dick, sending dozens of Terminators back at the same time, each to a different year in the past?
The only film so far to really attempt to deal with time travel causality with truly brutal logic, was Primer. It showed how complicated the consequences could be from even a very limited time travel ability (backwards one week only). The events and story were so complex fans of the film created a massive flowchart to track all of the different realities and characters generated. It’s almost required to watch the film again immediately, multiple times, just to keep up. For many people that sort of time and brain investment isn’t entertaining either.
So is time travel more interesting as mere transportation, or as a reality changing tool? We may never know. But what we do know, having read all of this, you have now traveled ten minutes into the future. Ta daa!
Love doing this to my stories!
maybe this is how Flickr works...
I could spend hours documenting and linking to other images on this trip...
Flickr is the worlds most used relational database with hyperlinks everywhere amongst its 100 million members!
Just how huge is the scale? Monstrously huge. We have more than 100 million accounts. We store, render, and serve tens of billions of photos. Our storage footprint alone is hundreds of petabytes (that’s hundreds of millions of gigabytes). We have hundreds of databases. The list goes on - all the numbers are enormous. They’re so big that we’re often literally hitting the limits of physics, such as the speed of light and the rotational speed of disks, as we try to move faster.
Flickr is a very large platform built out of a number of smaller internal services. Together, those services deliver the Flickr experience you know and love. I’m happy to report that a number of services have already moved to our new infrastructure 100%, and more will finish in the next few weeks and months. Each time a service moves, the error rate drops dramatically and the performance jumps. Fewer Pandas are seen.

Flickr, photo-sharing Web site owned by SmugMug and headquartered in San Francisco, California.
Flickr is an ad-supported service, free to the general public, that allows users to upload digital photographs from their own computers and share them online with either private groups or the world at large. In the early 2000s it won a fast-growing contingent of enthusiasts on the strength of its many social-networking features, most significantly the ability for users to discuss photographs online.
The service began as a peripheral feature in an online electronic game being developed by the Canadian software company Ludicorp. Company founders (and spouses) Stewart Butterfield and Caterina Fake ultimately abandoned the game and debuted Flickr by itself in 2004. Its key early innovation was the use of “free tagging,” a feature that enabled users to associate metadata tags—searchable keywords—of their own devising with any photographs they viewed, thus creating a large network of associations and allowing users around the world to discover each other’s work. By developing an unregulated but expansive “folksonomy,” Flickr spared itself the prohibitive cost of centrally creating links and groupings.
In March 2005 Flickr was purchased by the Internet giant Yahoo! and relocated to California. Under the Yahoo! banner, Flickr became a dominant photo-sharing service, increasing its roster of registered users from 250,000 to more than 2,000,000 in less than a year. The site continued rolling out new features, including copyright management, an interactive map of photographed locations, and customizable print products. In June 2008 Butterfield and Fake left Yahoo!, and Flickr continued to expand. In July 2008 Getty Images, one of the world’s largest photographic agencies, announced a plan to begin inviting selected Flickr members to participate in one of its commercial photo groups. Flickr was supplanted as the dominant photo-sharing service by social media companies such as Facebook and Instagram, and it also faced competition from other services that offered inexpensive online data storage. In 2017 the American telecommunications company Verizon Communications acquired Yahoo! and reorganized it into a subsidiary, Oath, and the next year SmugMug acquired Flickr from Oath.

A simplified process flowchart to show a puzzle we try to solve.
It's complicated...
and the things we think we know are probably ...
• changing over time;
• different for different elements (part-colour-combinations) or sets;
• and dependent on the production location also....
It is actually pretty surprising that we have an idea where some of the bricks were made :-)
My next book (about walking through India) is coming on nicely now. It's not a normal travel book. It is divided into two halves: the first covers an imaginary day on the road from dawn to nightfall (using true events throughout but shuffled round to fit the structure). The second half is mapped out here on this planning page - six chapters that attempt to explain why I go on expeditions. It's proving to be a difficult book to get my head round, but I hope it will be worth it in the end.
I tweaked this map from another goal-setting map, so I can't take all the credit. But I hope it motivates you to aim for something this coming month of May! Or even this week...
I have some pens and pencils.
A sketchbook.

Thanks to /u/aatdalt's [video](www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCMyGNZlx5o) and working on C/2022 E3, I now feel good enough about my comet processing to start working through my backlog of comet pics. This was was shot about 3 years ago and has been sitting on my hard drive since then.

From a rather fine illustrated brochure on the Scunthorpe based division of United Steel, the Appleby Frodingham Company. The concern had its origins in the early years of the iron industry in Lincolnshire with the formation of the Frodingham Iron Company in 1864 followed by the Appleby in 1875. Steel production was begun in 1890. After a period of merger via the Steel Company of Scotland both companies became part of United Steel Companies in 1918 and gained their title of Appleby-Frodingham in 1934. The works, astonishingly, still survives as the Corus Works.

This is not an image I would normally post, but having decided a while ago to document my workflow (I’m an engineer…. I like to document how things work!), I thought it might be useful to post it and see if it draws any comments. I am often curious about what other folks do and sometimes think my own workflow is somewhat over complex.
I used the following:
•Adobe Bridge CC; ou can get this with a FREE Adobe CC subscription. I use it to provide a centralized way of browsing and managing my files and launching all my other applications.
•DxO PhotoLab; for me the best RAW developer out there, and I’ve tried most of them.
•PENX DCU; if I really must develop using Pixel Shift, I sometimes use this. However, I really don’t like it. Please DxO, give me Pixel Shift support!!
•ON1 Photo 2017; there are some nice filters in here. I had high hopes that the RAW developer would be awesome, but its simply not a patch on DxO, especially now DxO have finally added selective development.
•AuroraHDR; I’m really on the fence with HDR packages. This seems to offer good results and a lot of control, but I’ve only been using it for a few days.
•Afinity Photo; I ditched my Adobe subscription in favour of using Affinity Photo. It is excellent value for money, powerful and extremely stable.
•NIK filters; barely ever uses them as ON1 filters are so much better.
