This weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Utahraptor
In 1975, Jim Jensen found fragmentary remains near Dalton Wells Quarry, Utah.
In 1991, Jim Kirkland, Robert Gaston and Donald Burge uncovered even more remains.
In 1993, Jim Kirkland named the species Utahraptor ostrommaysi after the state it was found in, and John Ostrum, who investigated Deinonychus and its relationship to birds, and Chris Mays who helped research Utahraptor.

Někdo honí ego, jiný skládá #LEGO. S kým byste raději uvázli na pustém ostrově?

The command variant of the EDSC's light tactical vehicle features a hardened rear section containing communications gear, and a remote weapon system with a heavy machine gun. These upgrades allow the occupants to coordinate combat maneuvers from the relative safety of their armored vehicle. #LEGO
Bag 13. Owlbear! The eye prints are neat because they’re symmetrical about the diagonal, so one print works for both eyes even though at first glance they seem to be different. #LEGO
Jetzt habe ich auf meinem Schreibtisch einen Platz für mein neues #LEGO® Tudor Corner gefunden und kann mit dem Ausbau starten. Gleich nach Ostern kaufe ich den Bausatz nochmals und dann wird erweitert. Häuser aus LEGO® Bausätzen habe ich noch nie im Original belassen. Meist habe ich die Sets zweimal gekauft.
Relief printing using Lego. This is lots of fun. Designs are pretty quick and easy to try out.

Bag 12. Was all greenery and an Awakened Tree! I love that the tree has a black trunk like the Forestmen sets from the late 1980’s (before #LEGO came in brown).
5pm / how the day is going update:
I finished and published a new article on my self-hosted Ghost blog: **"This is what resistance to the digital coup looks like" **https://news.elenarossini.com/this-is-what-resistance-to-the-digital-coup-looks-like/
I made good progress with the #LEGO castle (see pic) but ran out of light gray plates and my 4-year-old (who has impossibly high standards) demands I refrain from using other colors... so we are at a standstill (don't tell her but I already used some small black bricks in lieu of light gray ones here and there... keeping the build symmetrical but not following the instructions to a T)
I didn't have money to pay chatgpt to fake me an action figure so #lego made them IRL years ago
Good morning Fedi friends!
In case you missed it, on Monday I was able to successfully send a newsletter from my self-hosted, manually installed #Ghost blog. So it appears to be fully working now.: https://news.elenarossini.com
I don't have any new #selfhosting anecdotes to share. I thought I would be able to relax for a bit and enjoy this milestone. I spent the day yesterday writing a blog post for #TheFutureIsFederated on the topic of resistance to the digital coup.
In the meantime, my 4-year-old spotted some vintage #LEGO panels in the attic. I identified them as belonging to LEGO's King Castle and she demanded I "BUILD IT RIGHT NOW." I'm not even sure I have all the pieces required... I remember that a couple of years ago I found stacks of old LEGO boxes and organized pieces by color in transparent drawers. I found an old manual online for the castle set and so far so good (sort of). I made it to step 10 out of 43. The real test will be building the retractable bridge.
All this to say: no more self-hosting adventures for me this week, I'll be tackling a complex LEGO project (and I can't use code to get out of hurdles...)

Bag 11. Adds a rock wall to enclose the dungeon, two trees, three giant spiders, and various plants and cobblestones to decorate the meadow. #LEGO
