This is at the FBI Academy. If ever a single picture could tell a single story, this is it. It was submitted anonymously to the NYT so I feel it's fair to reshare.

Not many people know that the Lada Niva was named after the excellent French-Armenian world music duo, Ladaniva.

Crosby beach near Liverpool, then the story of a plane optimistically hoping to land at Speke before giving up. The wind would have resulted in landing almost sideways. 🧵

If I'd seen this thread you'd have saved me a while dicking about in Photoshop whilst I procrastinated. I found full black was too hard so pulled it back a touch.

I did a quick bit of Photoshop to show what a darker coloured Jaguar Type 00 might look like. I doubt one will ever exist in a colour like this, but who knows what colours the production car will carry?

Design isn't the only industry where people take out context and apply dubious takes.

When you supply plane parts, every item has to be checked and tested carefully and you need an unbroken chain of paperwork from the metals supplied through to delivery for each item. So parts are costly.

You can see the progression in my 3d printing experiments. These hooks are dead handy as they attach to any desk or worktop so long as there's enough space, but getting the strength right matters. Using a gyroid infill and 1.2mm shell gives a nicer finish and much greater strength than grid + 0.8mm.

Welp. That's a bit harsh on dangerous dog owners.

Absolutely disgusted to discover you aren't allowed to keep brown bears as pets in the UK. If you bring them up right they're just lovely big teddies. #blametheownernotthebear #educatenotban
