How to create lampshades for this chandelier?

Does anyone have a DIY idea to create lampshades for this teak chandelier? I’m broke at the moment so trying to source replacement bulbs isn’t in the cards for me right now. But I’m fairly handy so maybe I can make something?

Someone ripped out the last page of my book

If someone can tell me how the Tenth of December by George Saunders ends, that would be great.

Rest of the book was really good!

DAE find Claude's writing style inconsistent?

I use Claude primarily to refine pitch decks when I'm applying for gigs (I'm a freelancer). It's really great for this, and I find its writing style more natural than Chat GPT. I always draft the whole thing myself first and then use Claude to go through and critique my copy and the flow of my ideas. It's great for this.

However something frustrating happens when I'm about halfway through each deck. The writing goes from being believably human to really cheesy. I'll have 15 solid pages and then suddenly its edits are cheesy and obviously ai-written, to the point of being unusable. Basically it starts to sound like Chat GPT, ha ha.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and if there are any workarounds? Maybe it's that my own writing starts to be of worse quality as the deck goes on, so it has worse content to work with?

Can I mount a curtain rod to this plaster ceiling?

Bit of an odd situation. I’m subletting an apartment for several years and the owner has left all of her things here. I’d like to hang a curtain around them, but I’m nervous about the plaster ceilings. I’m in an Altbau (aka old apartment) in Berlin.

Everything was stored behind a curtain in another room before I moved in. However when I removed the hardware you can see that one of the anchor points was failing.

The curtain rod is IKEA’s tensioning wire (Dignitet). I’ll need to place anchor points roughly where the blue circles are in the attached images:

I don’t have a stud finder but please let me know if you think I absolutely need one for this task. Or if you think this is a fool’s errand!
