Wasn’t sure how much more they’d open, I think this is the extent of it. They’re gorgeous. Glad I left it in the pot now, this is right in front of the kitchen window!

@JoBee It a magnolia, a ‘genie’ according to the label.

@stefano Sorry for the stress, hope the rest of 2026 only brings you cookies

Dear 2026, I believe I've already built up enough stress to last me until the end of the decade. Could you kindly tone it down and refrain from adding any more?
Thanks!Signed:

L’UE alle prese con i costi dell’energia. Ma petrolio e gas naturale (importati) contano ancora il 60 per cento del mix energetico

Domani i capi di stato e di governo dell'UE chiederanno a Bruxelles misure "mirate" a breve termine per contenere i prezzi, trainati in alto dal conflitto in Medio Oriente. L'Italia e altri

It's less that I want less art, and more that I want less Whedon/Fillion/Confederate apologism. I have more thoughts than I can probably effectively convey 500 characters at a time, because I don't even necessarily disagree with the themes (the government _is_ out to get you, but also holy shit we can deconstruct it better than this)
I love firefly, but especially in the context of modern everything, ugh, someone else please give me space cowboys.

@Craigp The overall curve of the sail doesn't require any special operation other than bending it with your fingers.
These ships are just a few centimeters, so a tennis ball is too big anyways. Generally you roll the sail up against a pen to curve it, though this might destroy some of the 3D bulges.
I'm talking about creating individual bulges in the lattice of sheets. If you fold it into a zig-zag and let dry around a small rod, unfortunately half of the bulges from that will go in wrong dir.
-
@androidarts How about folding it a few times, wetting it, and then pressing it against a tennis ball? While still folded, of course.

@datarama @liw I forgot to mention no car! I do have three cats, but they don't cost nearly as much as kids.
It will not surprise you that I am on the spectrum too. My late wife was probably borderline.
It was really freeing to me when I wised up and asked the financial advisor. (And was glad I already had one, courtesy of my credit union.) Heartily recommended if available. Fed him my current assets and amounts of the several pensions I had pending, highballed a guess of how much I'd want to spend per month, he plugged the numbers into a program that made reasonable assumptions about inflation and computed I'd be OK until at least age 90. Likely much longer now.
That leaves the problem of boredom/feeling useful--I enjoy my work and that I am helping people who deserve it. (I work at a university.) But I've developed enough other interests that I ought to be OK, and tested it some years back when I got burned out and took several years off working.
In any case I hope you find a comfortabler solution.

A sloppy test sail, folded and pressed onto some round rods for "ripples", while dabbed with murky paint water.
Ideally the bulges should follow the seams so each segment is bulging. I think in production, one could provide a plastic sail shape that wet paper is pressed onto and let dry, setting in a 3D shape.
This is a bit risky if one has spent time painting the sail beforehand. Better be waterproof paint, like acrylics.
