I think it's the thickness of the arm and the angle.

It's also on BGA if anyone sees this and is inspired.

When I worked at a University slide library in a previous life, one of the things that needed "freshened up" images was the Bayeux Tapestry.

Writing descriptions that would fit on 35mm slides, and presenting an order with far, medium, close views so they could be easily presented and studied.

Yesterday I saw a keyboard with a solar strip across the top, like a solar calculator. It said it would charge from almost any light source.

Pls consider ordering a book from your local indie bookshop *NOW* before holiday season to give store time to order title if they don't have it? This helps:

(1) support indie bkshops, (2) support human creators, (3) gets you ahead re: busy shopping time.

Psst: maybe one of my books? 🙏🏽💛 #KidLit

Geekmod of images, reviews, and session reports is by regular users. Do you want to geekmail it to me so I can see what it said?

The Six of VIII and many more New Mill games featured in this new video from Board Game Animal.

Timely if you're thinking about holiday gifts, or getting a lot of game play in smaller boxes/with a smaller budget.

I get pencils, stickers, and rings from the dollar store. It also lets me keep leftovers from year to year.

Every Easter we would make baskets to take to my grandparents' church. Coffee, sugar, etc. Baskets were placed at the end of rows. Priest would flick water and bless as he walked up and down the aisle. Then we'd take home to put with the rest of their coffee, sugar.
