Maybe it's getting a bit crazy 🤔
The pipe inside makes a V-shaped round trip. You modulate the note by moving your thumb in front of the pipe outlet.

I had not realised that there was a gender divide in craft shopping, but think about it:
If it's a "hobby" store, it is full of model airplanes, TTRPG miniatures, and construction sets, intended to appeal to guys.
If it is a "craft" store, it is full of yarn, thread, paint, scrapbooking supplies, and jewellery-making supplies, assumed to appeal to gals. #Craft#sexism@fiberarts@fibrearts

I think we're focused on the wrong thing when we look at what tech works for a company like Amazon or Facebook or Netflix.
We should be looking at what tech works when you don't have a small army of staff engineers optimizing it. I want to know what I can scale without paying someone a half million dollar salary to do it.
There should be more case studies on things that don't have a billion-dollar company propping them up, humming along quietly on a cheap-ass VPS somewhere.
For 15–20 years we’ve been looking at how big companies are solving their big problems, instead of learning how those of us with small problems (individuals and SMBs) best solve their small problems.
That’s our Occam’s razor why frontend devs know Bootcamp/Tailwind, jQuery/React, bundle/deploy, and have every 10-visitor site sit on all edge servers—but for whom HTML is div and CSS is broken.
The great 2024 #decluttering has turned up this. It’s a washable colouring in map thingy. I’m very tempted to turn it into a small quilt. Maybe with flags around the outside as a border? Could maybe colour in the critters with embroidery? 🤔
