I like leaving silly little comments in my code :)
Snapshot of Blender Python code that reads: # Store the original rig locations for later sx, sy, sz= source_rig.location tx, ty, tz target_rig.location # Because the added bone constraints use World Space, need both rigs to be in the same exact location source_rig.location = (0, 0, 0) target_rig.location = (0, 0, 0) # Copy the animation from the source rig to the one with the correct Rest Pose add_constraints() apply_animation() delete_constraints() # Turn Pose Mode back off bpy.ops.object.posemode_toggle() # Put that thing back where it came from, or so help me source_rig.location = (sx, sy, sz) target_rig.location = (tx, ty, tz)

Grays Harbor County resident dies from complications of avian influenza The person was infected with the H5N5 virus; the risk to the public remains low OLYMPIA -A Grays Harbor County resident who was undergoing treatment for H5N5 avian influenza died today. The Washington State Department of Health offers its heartfelt condolences to the person's family and friends. The person was an older adult with underlying health conditions. Out of respect for the family's privacy, we are not releasing their name, gender, or age. The person had been hospitalized in King County since early November. Testing at the UW Medicine Clinical Virology Lab identified the virus as H5N5, making this the first recorded infection with this variant in a person globally. The result was confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The risk to the public remains low. No other people involved have tested positive for avian influenza. Public health officials will continue to monitor anyone who was in close contact with the patient for symptoms to ensure that human-to-human spread has not occurred. There is no evidence of transmission of this virus between people. The person had a backyard flock of mixed domestic birds. DOH sampling identified avian influenza virus in the environment of the flock, making exposure to the domestic poultry, their environment, or wild birds the most likely source of exposure for this patient. People who had exposure to the backyard flock and environment are also being monitored for symptoms.

Weird seeing this image of the old Unity Locomotion System by @runevision.bsky.social being used for Blender add-ons 🤔

This is how it looked on the first day, and it got so much more dark red color within days. It was crazy looking.
A vacuum bag full of shredded beets, red onions, and red cabbage, which is already showing quite a lot of color which deepened over the subsequent few days.

Here's a link to a more detailed article, since the story linked above appears to omit some very important details.

The video appears to contradict the government's allegation that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire on her late Saturday morning on Kedzie Avenue near 39th Street, her attorney, Christopher Parente, said at a detention hearing at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse.

Every CEO talking about Al replacing workers is an example of the real problem: that most companies are run by people who don't understand or experience the problems they're solving, don't do any real work, don't face any real problems, and thus can never be trusted to solve them. The Era of the Business Idiot is the result of letting management consultants and neoliberal "free market" sociopaths take over everything, leaving us with companies run by people who don't know how the companies make money, just that they must always make more. When you're a big, stupid asshole, every job that you see is condensed to its outputs, and not the stuff that leads up to the output, or the small nuances and conscious decisions that make an output good as opposed to simply acceptable, or even bad. What does a software engineer do? They write code! What does a writer do? They write words! What does a hairdresser do? They cut hair!

That also describes the other two cats we have, neither of which are orange.

I have used two feed-based bookmarking hacks, and now I want to go through each of them and bookmark those posts "the right way".

People on state Medicaid, or Apple Health, can get the Covid vaccine for free. For people with private insurance, coverage will depend on their individual health status and insurer, but many insurance companies are expected to continue covering the shots.

This is what I see. I'll try it out on my desktop when I'm properly awake to see if it's just my device or whether it's my network.
