Very weird, this guy seems to have moved into our garage. Just saw it again!

I saw my first Praying Mantis yesterday.

At my wife’s church people honk at each each other trying to get out of the parking lot. Brotherly love lasts about one minute after leaving the building.

I’ve also wondered about Ixonia’s unique name! Thanks for the owl and knowledge 👍

This is what I did for you our kids. Used a bull nose but in a router for the engraving. The graduations were done with a straightedge while the numbers were freehanded over pencil lines.

I then spray painted it black and sanded off the paint from the flat surfaces, leaving it paint in the engraving troughs.

Their heights are simply penciled on.

We’re pretty pleased with it. It looks nice and doesn’t feel out of place.

I like the hamster & wine bottle decor

I think that would be a perfectly good jaw vise. But only put in a few dog holes, as shown in their product photos, to maximize rigidity.

Give CopyQ a try. Open source, cross platform clipboard manager with tons of features.

One example option is being able to only ever paste plain text. It also has lots of programming hooks, I have a few for doing things like converting a line-feed delimited list into one delimited by commas and quoting the values.
