It’s getting pretty hopeless to see all these political figures so often put in front of a judge, but it seldom has an impact on their career. Never imprisoned, fines are hardly a problem considering how rich (or friend of rich people) most of them are, or they have someone to take the fall.

These days, it’s even an advantage to be prosecuted or condemned, making them appear as victims.

In a three dimensional calendar that could work, 4 days deep ?

Uhoh they’re in t’ruble!

This one is a treasure

I found those:

Underscore		. . _ _ . _
Addition		. _ . _ .
Subtraction		_ . . . . _ 
Multiplication		_ . . _
Division		_ _ _ . . .
Equal			_ . . . _
Right Parenthesis	_ . _ _ . _
Left Parenthesis	_ . _ _ .

But this isn’t enough for programming, square and curly brackets, carets, ampersand, pipe, tilda… I think it’s gonna be pretty challenging

Thank you so much!

the Monday when my “weekly” post was due, we had 2 additional layers done, but it was very same-y and not really worth posting, so I thought I’d hold off until we finish the whole thing.

We ordered this device to inject the mortar:

and some powdered iron oxide to give a darker tone to the mortar, we like it better with the color of the bricks. When all this arrives, we can continue

I’m in Germany yes, that’s a good idea, thank you. The person who sold us the bricks took them out of a building in a village near Karlsruhe, he might know more about the story of that place, we definitely plan on sending him pictures of our construction and we shall ask if he knows more.

Yet, some of my favorite communities are Mildly Interesting and Mildly Infuriating.

Most definitely!

Oh yeah good question! That’s not staying like that. According to the building theory books I read a jointing in an arch can be anywhere between 5mm and 10mm of mortar inside (1/4’ to 1/2’) and up to 25mm outside (1 inch)

The empty space will be filled completely with mortar next week. It was a huge mess when laying the bricks vertically against the wooden formwork, we noticed how ugly it looked when moving it off after laying the two first slices.

The plan is to use some kind of piping bag and inject the mortar precisely in the gap, then smooth it uniformly. There are different shapes, we haven’t decided yet which one we will use:

Thank you! It will be nice to leave something tangible behind, and we learn many new skills along the way

And the Community rejoices at the perspective of your valuable contributions!

Don’t forget to look in which community this was posted

Agreed! Unfortunately these maddening behaviors were kind of set in stone several decades ago, and it has been (correctly) decided “Don’t break the web”, these weird quirks are kept in modern interpreters/compilers.

It’s actually quite interesting to read through the logic to follow when implementing an interpreter:

On the other hand, I don’t think you should add those ever

I found this, it looks like it’s not really possible because the structure of the two services are pretty different:

Ding Ding Ding! :) Wine racks, shelves with crates for flower bulbs, potatoes and other root vegetables… Which will mean we have to secure the entry, our (lovely) elderly neighbor has already mentioned coming over at night for a drink ^^

But it will probably serve as a tool shed for the coming year until we have the rest of the garden levelled and laid out, it’s the first of many projects, we will come back to it for the aesthetics (lime render, floor tiling, door, outside cladding…).

I don’t know all the words in English, as a Frenchman living in Germany :') Apparently it’s a “wooden formwork”, according to this page: http://mkolar.org/travel/Cechy/new-house/index.html

We were lucky, as our neighbor who is also renovating offered the steps of his old staircase. I modelled the thing in SketchUp to be able to measure all the angles and dimensions. We then made templates out of plywood for the 2 kinds of segments and used a flush router bit to reproduce the shape.
