Just realised HikVision cameras configuration API converts all time zones to CST, despite sourcing them in the UK. I feel it is a bit fair. Yet unaware of, say, US cameras or even OS that auto-magically converts logs to EST.

Some people here compensate nascent exercising with sweets cooking (traditional, of course, perfect excuse). I made my choice. Sweets cooking keeps me too busy.

Question from someone (me) whose head is really not wired for 3D printing: What printable material is appropriate for simple linear embedding? Basically trying to replace the tongues on Foodly. Tongues are simply embedded in the hand.

So many thought they were working on the most fundamental stuff. Quantum thingy and space time. It turns out there is more fundamental, allowing to describe other stuff than quantum and space time. TIL Enters the Theory of Positive Geometries.

Is there a name to the situation where (1) one actively checks conditions for an action, (2) high confidence of success, so act, (3) still worried it may fail while acting. Perhaps more frequent when the situation spans over long periods of time, but also happening on "instant" situations.
