This one shocked me. In retrospect, I realize it shouldn’t have.
When you start to track problems with the F-35, you may discover that the problems have problems and that there are whole other branches of problems that you haven’t heard of, yet. It certainly makes me wonder if, perhaps, the whole thing is made up of problems; it’s possible. As long as the taxpayers are footing the bill, who cares?

Right now I have more pretty stuff that I’ve made than I have time to photograph well and post/discuss about.
When I came up with the name “stderr” for this blog, I was thinking about the way that the error-stream is unbuffered; that means that things come out in the order that they are printed, sort of like how I speak/write: blah blah blah unfiltered and there’s no “pause” button.

A year ago I obtained one of those electronic induction heaters, because, why not? They’re fascinating. Some blacksmiths use them to produce high point-heat, including bringing small regions of steel to welding heat in about a minute (more or less). Induction heating is also used by some craftspeople to melt/slump glass in home microwave ovens – you put a block of insulating material containing your target into your microwave and turn it on for 10 minutes. Then, if you still have a microwave oven and kitchen, you can let it cool down and examine the contents.
