I'm giving garagefarm dot net a go for blender rendering services. They have a blender add-on, seem reasonable, and have given me some free credits to test out the service and it just so happens I have just the project - rendering approx 1,000 1920x1080 animation frames of my da Vinci machine

Horse shit. It's labour pursuing exactly the same incorrect obsession the Tories did instead of doing the job they were elected to do and they are going to end up with exactly the same fucking result if they don't wake up and start listening to people other than dubious election 'gurus'

Not found a good guide yet, I may have to do one myself - but will have to human-translate this tech gobbledygook

I'm putting some detailing into my perpetual motion machine.
I love mesh work, it was a good day when I finally nailed how to do nice sharp curves and hole cuts in blender

From the classic British TV sitcom 'Citizen Smith' - featuring Walter 'Wolfie' Smith as a young Marxist. He is holding a paint can and brush and has paused while daubing a slogan on a brick wall. So far, the slogan says "JOIN THE REVOLUTION THI-". He is deep in thought. Later, the slogan says "JOIN THE REVOLUTION THINK AHEA-" he has run out of wall to paint the "D"

I love how this bunch of assorted loons are referred to as an "unlikely cast"
Their fate was the subject of a months-long legal battle in Canada that attracted an unlikely cast of supporters, including an American grocery billionaire, Canadian anti-Covid mandate activists and US Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr. Dr Mehmet Oz, a celebrity doctor and member of Trump's administration, even offered to adopt the birds - but to no avail.

Lol, for agile and cunning Reynards, they do get themselves into a lot of scrapes.

Not for "stuck fox" specifically but there is a link page of all the fox news on the BBC

Bright too. It took me way too long to figure out I could just wedge the phone upright on the floor and set the timer 🙄
Anyway, it doesn't look good, ugh

Noting here the heroic actions of the unnamed LNER staff member, hope they pull through
What do we know about the victims? Emergency crews took 10 people to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge - which is some 30 minutes away from the train station - and one person later went to the hospital for treatment. Shortly before 18:00 on Sunday, police said five people had been discharged from hospital and one remained in a "life-threatening condition". "This casualty is a member of LNER rail staff who was on the train at the time and tried to stop the attacker," the police said. "Detectives have reviewed the CCTV from the train and it is clear his actions were nothing short of heroic and undoubtedly saved many people's lives." No victims have been named.
