It’s this model from thingiverse, printed at 70% scale in “robot silver” PLA from faberdashery.
This meal is the high-point of my day so far.
Oh matzah; You never crash while uploading a huge file overnight, you never corrupt a couple hundred gigs of quicktime files –Why can’t everything be like you?
I’m going to break off a narrow strip of matzah and eat it very slowly to match the length of all these progress bars I’m watching.
After a few weeks of living in a hotel room in Grand Rapids, I’ve packed up my things and moved into a shared apartment with the film editor here in Lowell, MI, just a couple of blocks from the editing room. It’s nice to no longer have to drive 25 miles to and from work every day. Tonight I used that extra time to prepare my own dinner rather than eat out. Hooray for homey food that isn’t beige.

I didn’t know one could order shpilkes for delivery. Can I get some kvelling included in the order without paying additional shipping charges?
On a serious note, does this mean that the advertiser deliberately picked this particular keyword and paid to make this impression?
No joke. Or lots of jokes. See it how you like.

So this makes Aviel Barclay’s situation very unique. I stumbled across her blog/diary and webpage today. Some of her ketubim (marriage contracts) look very nice, and she is writing an entire torah for a congregation in Seattle. She also writes amulets and teaches the kabbalah of the letters.
Aviel is very traditional and thus looks within the rabbinic tradition for her responses to critics and to inform her own thoughts and rationalizations. I mention this to explain some of the rather technical-sounding halachic language and logic in her posts. You may need a hebrew and aramaic dictionary to get through some of those posts with the meaning intact, but the photos of her work scattered through her blog need no translation.
