During the German occupation the Dutch were not allowed to listen to the BBC and were forced to hand in radios.
So many made their own wireless receivers that they then hid or camouflaged.
This one was hidden in a soap container, made with parts stolen from the Phillips factory.

i guess if Japan won the war we'd have the Greater Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere Rabbit, with about as much backstory/lore
if you're reckoning with the idea the US might undertake a campaign of aerial bombardment and/or combined arms and/or special operations wherein strategy means less than sheer mass murder I cannot recommend @nickturse.bsky.social's "Kill Anything That Moves" enough us.macmillan.com/books/978125...
Jolene is an orange and white cat. She is inside a cat bed that looks like a turtle. We see her head peeking out from the hole in the turtle shell. My feet wearing purple wellows are in the foreground. The red post box cat tree is in the background.
Jolene is having turtle time for #Caturday.
Happy weekend.

before we were born. even before I was born, so long ago now...the spectacle was drained of truth, actuality and meaning... You are very fortunate because you can know this now whilst young, whereas people like me had to learn this too late, understanding learnt from the 50 people in the world [β¦]

This cup was produced in Iran during the 12th century. It is made from fritware and decorated with a colourless glaze.

I don't want to hear "Robin Hood live-action remake" unless I see Alan Tudyk in a fursuit.

i reverted back to two zener diodes rated to conduct at 2.4v, in opposite configuration, parallel. Sounds great. I want to give this tone more sloppiness, fuzz? "velcro"?? i added a pair of LEDs (white, pink) before the zeners, but that smoothed things out... booooo-ring.
this country should print "I GOT MINE, SO FUCK YOU" on all of its money
This individualist way of thinking IMO is responsible for the widespread lib gloating every time some misfortune befalls a βredβ state or a person they dislike. Like, βenjoy the campsβ is such an unhinged way to talk to people!
4 days post surgery! Ready for my drains and bolster dressings on nipple grafts to be gone (next week). Looking forward to being able to move around with a bit more freedom. I also intend to document the recovery process for myself and whoever finds it useful or interesting. On that note, AMA!
