Also re: the rainbow sign project, I'm actually a bit proud of how this wiring harness came out.

I want a shirt that says in block letters:

I’M TRANS BUT I CAN’T PROVE IT

I've been wanting to take this photo for a long time, and I finally was there at late enough that I could get the shot.

I learned a bunch from this one (and didn't have the lens I wanted to use for it 'cause I broke it ;~;) and will try it again for a better result some time in the near future. I feel this was a good proof of concept, though. ^^

Hm, sign isn't nearly as bright as I'd hope.
Looked back, and after adding the second stroke on the star I'm definitely running beyond the length rating on the driver. Good news is, I can buy a bigger one that's also supposed to be quieter.

Right now it glows, but it doesn't shine.

I still feel like I succeeded in my mission of "doesn't blatantly look like el wire" :D

Oh also right, this project literally came to me in a dream. Not exactly as implemented ofc, but the concept of an el wire rainbow in etched acrylic channels? Yeah!

An orange, two yellows, a teal, a blue, and a purple, sure that's a rainbow :D

colors aren't quite what I'd hoped (though much more vivid than this photo), but the intent is very clearly there so yay I'm callin' it good.

Also I'm glad I decided to double-stroke the star.

"Sampling of NASA radio comminations in Electronic Dance Music: an ethnographic approach"

Weird bit of electrician (maybe trades generally?) slang, refrigerator:

A "fridge" is a thing you find food in.
A "reefer" is the appliance you need to dedicate a plug/circuit for.

@Ratttz hey this is a random question but on your job are refrigerators referred to as "reefers"?

Trying to get a handle on how widespread this slang is.

@Aradia@mastodon.social The range of musical programming in non-talk segment is approximately from AC-DC to Rage Against the Machine, with a whole lot of Nirvana and Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's not amazing but is a lot less obnoxious than most of what's on the airwaves.

Oh also: yesterday morning they were debating whether a line from The Avengers was a direct homage to Dr Who and yeah here in 2018 it's a joke to think that any of that is "nerdy", when it's at that level of social saturation.

@Aradia@mastodon.social SAD BUT TRUE out in Everett where reception sucks on KEXP and KUOW it might be the radio station I most enjoy listening to all day.
