“In English, there is a word ‘lieu’ — [luː], which translates as ‘land plot’. Another word with French roots, ‘tenant’ — [‘tenənt], translates as owner or lessee. Thus, ‘lieutenant’ literally translates to ‘landowner’.” — didn’t know, interesting

Choir, it turns out, is pronounced as [kwaɪər].

(Dropping a video for my archive on FB. Scroll past if it’s appearing in your feed for not the first time. The video has English comments)

(This video is about my 3D scanner project. I am just adding the video to my Facebook archive. If you saw it earlier, sorry, I don’t know how to add the video without having it exposed to the friends)

The first pancake is always lumpy, but at least the technology is now clear. You can’t fix the resolution and coarseness of PLA. Perhaps it was also affected by Masha unintentionally moving during the shoot. We need to try shooting with four cellphones, then there would be no need to stay still for so long. For small objects, the usefulness of a 3D scanner has become obvious. Taking pictures manually really doesn’t cut it.

I wonder why no one has yet created a service that allows searching for videos (movies?), where people speak with the same voice tone (perhaps, in the same language) as the uploaded voice? Something like tineye, but for audio. All movies are digitized, we just need to find a way to identify the characteristics that make us think the voices are similar, and index them accordingly.

One night – and the bike light mount is ready. Almost always, instead of 3D printing, you can buy a ready-made solution like this light for 25 bucks. But the thrill of “I thought up and made it myself” cannot be bought for any money 😉 P.S. As for replacing this broken light, I bought a new one several weeks ago. So this will be the second one, too good to go to waste
