Aerospace engineer, maker and terrible amateur programmer. I will probably toot when I've made something, mainly 3d printing and plotting; if you want to make what I've made you'll probably find it on Printables: https://www.printables.com/social/152251-pittance/models

I am also on Pixelfed: https://pixey.org/fastness

I think I'm ready to call this piece finished.

We have eaten the cheesecake

It was very nice

Well it's out: I think it's cooked and probably isn't scrambled eggs underneath

Oldest has a birthday tomorrow and has requested chocolate cheesecake

This has been requested before and I am informed that by time honoured tradition this is my job. It is not an easy cake, involving a bain Marie, more odd ingredients than ideal and timing more precise than I'm normally comfortable with. Eeek

Did you know?

There is a point in the abbey gardens in Bury St Edmunds where it looks like the cathedral is flipping you off

So, @acarsdrama picked up a very interesting thread yesterday where the flight crew reported that the flight attendants were fighting, seemingly amongst themselves.

I cross referenced with @airframes to see if I could see any other context because curiosity got the better of me. There were a couple of messages that came into them that weren't in the ACARS Drama coverage area.

ACARS Drama initial post: https://live.acarsdrama.com/@acarsdrama/114933210968942679

"FAS ARE FIGHTING ALMOST DIVERTED CAN WE HAVE A SUPERVISOR MEET US AT THE GATE"

and then airframes shows a couple of follow ups:

"THANK YOU ITS RIDICULOUS"
"I DONT THINK WE NEED PO PO JUST A SUPER"

https://app.airframes.io/flights/5436591651 for the full flight history.

Crazy stuff!

@Tusky I'm having trouble with the reading order setting: sometimes "load more" correctly keeps the old message in place and loads new messages above with "oldest first" selected. However sometimes something flips, the setting is no longer respected and it behaves like I have it set to the reverse all of the time

Changing the setting does not change behaviour, nor clearing cache and neither does force restart. Is there anything else I can try?

Everyone @Cassandra has just invented the afternoon tea conveyor belt cafe. Like Yo Sushi but the chefs are loading up the conveyor with mini gateaux, fancy scones, cucumber sandwiches and gourmet sausage rolls. We are looking for investors, no cryptocurrency thank you
