Wed May 20 06:00:01 EDT 2020 ======================================== Slept from ten-thirty to seven. Woke up a couple minutes before my alarm went off. Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 60s. East winds 10 to 15 mph. Work ---------------------------------------- - Which of the phase 1 properties still lack monitors? Done. - Update market rents on individual units for Gary and Robin Done. - Which units will need redec amenity pricing in Entrata? Done. - Follow up with Dell about phase 2 and 3 Done. Why can't my Windows 10 VM (KVM) get on the network? Firewalled? ``` 🐚 bava ~ $ sudo iptables --policy FORWARD ACCEPT ``` Yes, the VM was firewalled. Twenty-minute walk at lunch. Warm and sunny. Saw a blue jay, lots of robins, a little white butterfly, and a chipmunk. Home ---------------------------------------- Bathroom was getting a little gross. Did a quick wipe-down in the morning. https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2020/05/20/michigan-dams-fail-midland/ > Unprecedented flooding was ongoing Wednesday morning in Midland County, Mich., after a pair of dams collapsed following record rainfall. Thousands of residents have been told to evacuate as floodwaters gush into the communities along the Tittabawassee River, inundating homes and businesses and prompting an emergency declaration from Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D). The flooding is threatening a major Dow Chemical plant that lies along the river. > Major flooding begins when the Tittabawassee River hits 28 feet; flood stage is at 24 feet. As of 6:30 a.m. Wednesday, river gauges reported a level of 34.28 feet and rising. That’s enough to flood West Main Street from Main Street to Saginaw Road, with many homes experiencing overland flooding. > It supersedes the historic 33.9-foot flood stage measured on Sept. 13, 1986, which at the time was deemed a β€œonce in 500 year flood.” National Weather Service hydrologists were forecasting a crest four feet higher early Wednesday. It remains unclear if that level will be reached. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-52657164 http://hyper-resolution.org/view.html?pointer=0.464,0.032&i=Rijksmuseum/SK-C-5/SK-C-5_VIS_20-um_2019-12-21 > As always there is artifice behind the art, as you will see within moments of zooming into The Night Watch. > It quickly becomes apparent that Rembrandt first created his wonderfully dynamic composition, and then fine-tuned it as he went along. You will spot lots of small shadowy corrections (pentimenti) he made, such as the top of the drummer's stick on the far right, or on the index finger of the Ensign holding the Troop's flag aloft. > There is artifice in the photograph, too. It is not a single image as it appears, but a composite of 528 individual digital photographs that have been seamlessly stitched together to give us a completely new view of one the most famous paintings in western art. > The 44.8 Gigapixel image was created for the Rijksmuseum's conservation department, which is currently embarked upon the most exhaustive facelift The Night Watch has probably ever endured. Texting with Kate, I wished for a surgical mask emoji, and discovered there is one. U+1F637 😷 (I know this comparison makes the incorrect assumption that Michigan has an average population size among the states, but…) On average, over the last fifteen days, each state has had 1444/50 = 28 daily COVID-19 deaths. Michigan has had 64 deaths, so still bad despite our improvements.
