Gendered languages are weird. Why are "day" and "night" different genders in ?

You know they’ve jumped the shark in Florida when they start banning the poem Amanda Gorman presented at Biden’s inauguration.

Today I returned to college for the first time in 20 years so I made my wife take a First Day Of School photo on the front porch.

All my classes are online.

What better way to start my presidential campaign than by co-hosting it with the world's current highest-profile failure?

Can we pass a law saying that if anyone objects to someone objecting to a book, then it can't be banned?

Oh, wait, we already did that. It's called the 1st Amendment.

Stepped out my front door to find this beauty staring me in the face this morning. They only bloom at night, so it's pretty rare to see them in this state in the sunlight (this was taken shortly after dawn).

Next, I needed to figure out the gear faces. I want the designs to be crisp and readable, so free painting is out of the question (too finicky). I considered printing the design into the face as recessions that could be filled with paint, but that's pretty finicky too. Then, I realized I could just print the pattern negative space and put that over a white sheet of paper to show only the design I wanted to see.

Unfortunately, I ran into precision issues on this one too, as you can see in the image below.

Ultimately, I think I'll just be printing the designs onto paper and pasting that on the back of the dial. But it'll have to wait until I get a replacement ink cartridge for my printer.
