Hex translator XIV - Pasco; Elio

The 2nd pattern on build 20250802, this time generated from the input "City of Pasco, Franklin County, Washington State". This reminds me of another change in the new build, which is that short strings (less than 200 characters) get repeated until they're over 200 characters. So the modified input is actually this string (48 characters) repeated five times (to 240 characters). I made this change because I noticed smaller patterns tended to be less visually interesting.

BTW, saw Elio on Friday and really loved it. Easily in my Pixar Top-Five. It seems like many of the recent Pixar movies haven't been super well received aside from Inside Out 2, but for me it's been some of their best stuff. I missed Lightyear and was kind of meh on Elemental, but I thought Turning RedLuca, and Soul (and Inside Out 2) were all amazing. Onward was great, but not amazing.
