@mutantproductions it's going to naturally have some flex to it like a belt, but it's wrapped around that saucer section which is pretty structurally sound.

I have been using Git a long, long time. I have worked on Git clients and libraries. At some places I've worked, I am the person folks go to when they need Git help.
And yet, only today I learned you can pass -m to commit twice (or more) and it will do the right thing of making each successive message a new paragraph (which is useful for the convention of a short summary as a single first line and following paragraphs as a more detailed message).
@mutantproductions the whole build is here: https://www.flickr.com/gp/elfprince13/2y8kGaY7d4
I can snag a picture of just the rings if you want
@JoshBlackLiberT also nobody wants to be the grocery store manager explaining to a customer that you are out of turkeys the day before Thanksgiving. It’s just a larger scale version of buying candy the day after Easter or Halloween
@mutantproductions that inner ring is conceptually pretty similar to the turret rings I built for my Hapan Battle Dragon MOC

We don't get to see the back of my #LEGOIdeas #Stargate model often enough, and as we've reached 76%, here it is in all its splendour.
Check it out via the link below, add your support, spread the word, and it could become an official #LEGO set!

@neonsnake @rechelon I once sampled some Ferrero Rocher hazelnut/chocolate thingies that had been in a suitcase in a non-climate-controlled basement for a decade and the wafer shell was mushy but the overall experience was pretty inoffensive
tfw you didn’t get to take any leftovers home from thanksgiving but the turkeys are 75% off at the grocery store
@lzg if you have the mode of transportation available, be sure to get in line at Allie's before you leave
@lzg is that donut from somewhere in RI?
@dev (a) written by the same guy who did Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark (b) the MOST stacked cast of all time
@dev Silverado is absolutely sublime.

Racket Advent of Code leaderboard (long)
Thanks to
@samphillips we have an inclusive Racket leaderboard for AoC
Sam posted the details here:
https://racket.discourse.group/t/advent-of-code-2022-racket-leaderboard/1461?u=spdegabrielle (not a walled garden so you don need an account to view the page).
Why inclusive?
Any language in the Racket ecosystem is allowed on our leaderboard, including languages that target other platforms like Urlang (aka Javascript with sane (parenthetical) syntax)
You could try
Typed Racket, Racket’s gradually-typed sister language which allows the incremental addition of statically-checked type annotations.
Qi: A Functional, Flow-Oriented DSL
RacketScript, the Racket to JavaScript Compiler
Parenlog an implementation of a language very similar to pure Prolog, except with parenthetical notation.
Datalog, a declarative logic programming language.
PLAI-Typed (thanks to @shriramk)
and many more
Choose the language(s) that suits the problem - you don’t have to pick just one.
OR take the ‘Language-Oriented Programming’ approach and make your own language(s): https://beautifulracket.com/appendix/why-lop-why-racket.html
Thanks to @Eutro for the advent-of-code package to download puzzle inputs and post solutions:

@sigvat @rikefranke @Patricia the “progress only moves one direction” mindset is one of the easiest tests to figure out if someone is historically illiterate.
There’s this US history timeline that’s always making the rounds in vanilla Dem circles showing slavery, Jim Crow, post-Civil Rights movement as the 3 “eras”, but completely leaves out Reconstruction between civil war and Jim Crow…
