Blog Summary: 2024

It seems nobody else can find all the fuse boxes hidden around a Forester, either, and water heater anode rods continue to pose a challenge:

What is it about the Thermador heater?

Surely better cat pictures would create more traffic:

So I asked the WordPress AI to come up with a picture, given the minimal text in this post:

The cat has approximately the right number of legs, if not toes, but what is the head in the corner?

    My 2025 wall calendar features “vintage autos”, and was obviously generated by an early generation program. The picture for the last months of 2024 include a car with a hood ornament that looks like a demented unicorn horn, while the standard month pictures feature obfuscated numbers on the license plates.

    Then there’s the auto with something like a squid (or perhaps Cthulu’s grandchild?) on the front fender.

    Mercifully, no hands were included in the pictures. What it does to wire wheels is bad enough.

    I’ll get a fresh [groan|chuckle] every month.

      Maybe Cthulhu-on-fender was an AI attempt at what was once called a pin-up girl?

        Judging by the location, it was an attempt at doing a fender-mounted mirror. As made by The Old Ones. [grin]
