How to work on a 765,000 Volt transmission line. If you want to get right down to business, skip to 2:00 to watch the actual work being done.

Interesting - I didn’t see that there was a ‘retrieval line’ attached to the clamping device… I suspect dropping it is contraindicated!
Oh - and we wonder why electricity is pricey…

That podcast is like watching a criminal / hacking movie made by someone like Guy Ritchie!

Jeezuz! What a bad bad shitflick by the totally overrated Sir Kenneth Branagh. 
I watched Midnight Sun last night, it was both worse and better than I expected. Worse as in production quality, better as in the overall story.
Not too shabby.
Hubby forced me to watch this with him. And then he stayed in bed. 
So I watched it alone. We both have never played Halo but heard it’s got a good backstory and lore. And now watching it as a Spielberg production, and featuring once-famous roundeye Natascha McElhone and grumpy Burn Gorman, in between a cast of nobodies - but talented nobodies - was a better viewing experience than I’d hoped for. And the CGI wasn’t bad either.
My thoughts after 2 episodes: https://orcaflotta.blog/2022/04/03/otparamount-halo/
Flipping through Netflix, a girlfriend and I, gave this a try. Two days later we’ve watched it all. Good acting, a storyline not written by a drunk five year old, and mezmerising scenes.
and lots of familiar landscapes.
This dog dances better than I do.

Ah yes, love Peter Rabbit, great books and shows! Nice song, too. Could use more frogs, though…
It was also quite useful for my study of Middle Egyptian, since there exists a nice translation:

That is nice. But why are there so many birds in the text when it is about a rabbit?
