Happy May Everyone!
Since it's the first Saturday of the month, we've got a Hack & Craft today from 8-10 ET (technically tomorrow from 0:00 - 2:00 UTC). I hope you'll join us: https://fossandcrafts.org/hack-and-craft/
I'll be working on a challenge that @cwebber recently gave me: how long would it take me to make a complete publicly appropriate outfit in an emergency? (I.E. airline lost my luggage and I have to go out and buy/find a sewing machine and start from scratch.)
Mastodon has very little motivation to do so since all the apps and other servers are implementing their API.
UTR-2 antenna control panel, Institute of Radio Astronomy of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine
The Ukrainian T-shaped radio telescope, second modification (UTR-2) is the world’s largest low-frequency radio telescope. Made up of a network of 2,040 antennas known as dipoles, the entire structure covers 15 hectares and takes the form of a giant letter T.

@mc_frontalot the song is so good!!!
Challenge update (after Hack & Craft):
- The dress is 'finished' (though it does need to be hemmed again because it's too long). It took exactly 2 hours. I think this exceeded my 1.5 hour estimate largely because I restricted which tools I could use and that took more time (i.e. paterning out a full length skirt with only an 18" straight edge, using pins instead of clips, double hemming instead of surging and folding once for hems).
- The bra is patterned and cut out (in the picture it's just patterned)
- The socks are patterned and cut out.
Alikhanyan National Science Laboratory’s Aragats cosmic ray research station, Armenia
After the collapse of the USSR, with funding discontinued, the station’s survival seemed uncertain. International grants and support from the Armenian diaspora bridged the gap, allowing Aragats to continue its work.
