The AI-generated cat pictures thread
Here is a picture i took of the moon while sitting in the hot tub the other night. That ring is not a camera trick and is actually a thing called a lunar halo and i guess they're pretty common.
Took me 31 years to see one, so either it's not common or i don't pay attention.

Oh, I hear that.
A few years ago, I needed to move a rack containing a new router into position in the equipment room. Probably 400-500 lbs in total, and it had to go up onto a hollow 3" riser, with about an inch lip.
Low ceiling, so no space for overhead rigging.
In the end, I remembered that there was a demolition crew swinging hammers down in studio 3. So I went out and bought a couple cases of beer and a tray of fancy sandwiches, and early that afternoon, the rack was in place. I submitted for reimbursement on the beer & sandwiches, and the GM had a good laugh when I explained it.
What I found most amusing about this wrench is that it comes wrapped up like a Christmas gift:

Double hammer trick!?!? Nope, never heard of it, but if it involves more than one hammer i'm interested. I love to live dangerously, but is that a trick you let the apprentice try first?

My neighbor invited me to go with him to an music festival with a few "oldies" bands performing. It was a small venue so I was pretty close to the stage. I took a few pics and some video.
Billy Gibbons is 73 years old now. Dusty Hill died last year at age 72 and has been replaced on bass by their long time guitar tech, who is also a gray-beard.

Uploaded my first 3d side by side video to youtube last night. Holly hell youtube shrinks the footage a **** ton. The footage looks good inside a VR headset but looks like **** if you play it on a screen.
