Getting involved with a brick arch is fascinating me. Especially since it's all wrapped up with the desire to work with local wheat flours and recipes from Daniel Leader's Bread Alone book (recommended in Michael Pollan's Omnivore's Dilemma) and Jim Lahey's on-line "No Knead Bread" 1 recipe. A Japans company's (?) site AIKB-Arch has .pdf with nice illustrations of the Y-type brick shapes and using them to make domes of different sizes: Another site has useful-seeming daigrams and charts: ...

I made a polar plot with Racket to thing about wedge angles for a brick oven dome: I don't know what sort of units are for setting up the tool my neighbor will use to mak the wooden wedges.. But for the Racket plot language `polar function1 it seems easy: There are 15 bricks so I guess it pi/15 ? but is the angle from the center the same as the angle between neighboring bricks? I have to think oon it some more. It was fun to make the image though... We can check it by using a nail and str...

CVポート 口コミ CVポート埋め込み手術の体験談 CVポートの使用感｜腕からの点滴と比べて 以前の抗がん剤治療では、毎回腕に点滴の針を刺していたのですが、これがかなりつらかったです。皮膚に内出血が残ったり、抗がん剤投与中は痛みやしびれも感じていました。治療を重ねるごとに痛みも強くなり、剣山で腕をずっと刺しているような痛みを感じていました。治療後も1週間弱は腕に痺れが残ります。 それに比べて、CVポートからの投与はほとんど痛みを感じません。点滴中もリラックスできるので、体への負担が大きく軽減されました。治療後も全く痛みなどは出ません。 https://gan-nichijo.com/?p=206 amebloブロッグ 私が通院しているD総合病院では 患者さんに特別な事情がない限り、 抗がん剤治療をする際は 患者さんの負担軽減のため 基本的にみんなに推奨しているそうです。 (ちなみに私の主治医は D総合病院の総医院長です) 提案を受けるまで 私は ポートなんて聞いたことがなくて、 主治医と看護師さんから パンフレットを見せてもらいながら イチから説明を受けました。 ...

Bill Templer for Enough English ... we need a powerful but condensed and simplified version of the language that can be learned more quickly -- without the gargantuan waste of time and energy in trying to master endless confusing lexis and synonyms... need for a wealth of serious reading materials of all kinds in that more simplified form of English as an instrument for democratising knowledge, for 'talking science and humanities' in a far leaner and more 'analytic' medium.

Proprietary software corporations and "AI"1 (LLM SALAMI)2 marketing fraudsters prevent us from being frugal. They are forcing us towards death since we cannot implement the virtues of mercy, moderation and modesty. With the consumption of vast environmental resources for the hi-spec computers needed to run bloated software and the data centers needed for LLM (Large Language Model SALAMI)2 the data centers', there is no mercy for localities that lose their water supplies, nor for the surro...

Listed Post Test For working with computers freedom and frugality will be our principles of choice.1 When choosing what software to work with our standards|- will be with freedom and frugality. We want programs that we can share, edit, and adapt. We hope to work in a way that does not waste resources: our earth's water and electricity, or our computers' screen area, or even our won cognitive load. Being frugal means not to waste resources, neither our own nor those of others. This is one e...
