So easy! You really only need to shave cleanup every 2-3 days.

When AI takes over, we can all be professional podcasters Cas.

Good money in podcasting. You see how much Rogan makes?

If we all even made half that we'll be doing fine.

VIbe-coded safety system and ML-based safety system are two slightly different nightmares.

Runners - and their shadows - cross a sunlit stretch of the #ChicagoMarathon course in Pilsen.

The unlicensed Astro Boy I'm designing is moving along. I have no idea what I'm doing in this space or whether anyone would want to buy it. If you have advice, I'm all ears!

I just know I am compelled to make it, and keep it as close to Tezuka's original lineart as possible. So much research!

Astro 3D sculpt, and blueprint of what's in him, based on all the artwork Osamu Tezuka has of Astro Boy dissected or X-Rayed (that's 6 drawings!)

A friend was with me, but we were wandering separately, so she didn't hear my GASP when I saw him. He was set apart from everything else on the shelf too, in a way that drew my eye instantly. I would have recognized that awful face anywhere though!

Great explanation!

While providing tech support for my FIL:

FIL: What's that screen?

ME: The terminal. You should never use it.

FIL: Never?

ME: So you know how I'm allowed to watch you open the electrical panel and swap out breakers, but I'm not allowed to ever open up it myself?

FIL: Ah! I understand, thank you.

That reminds me I need to add a "cash in a fast food bag" payment option to my website to be able to support the "unbanked".

Have you ever been to the Cat House bar? My friend owns it.

@chenoehart.bsky.social following up on your recent post.

Let's be social!

I can't recall if we talked in detail before, but I'm Scott from Chicago.

From 2020 - 2024 I was all about building home robots, but since the beginning of this year, all my hobby-time has been spent making computer game.

I'm in Chicago, and there's a lot that's important to stay on top of, but I'm moving the heavy stuff to a separate list from my Following, so I can take mental health breaks.

This is a beautiful little story,

Worms & Bones @homemadehorrors.bsky.social · 9h

When I was 4 I lost my favourite toy at the beach. I grew up in a port town, and the water was always a murky chocolate milk brown with zero visibility so it was easy.
And then yesterday, 100s of miles away, SOMEHOW I found the same dragon I had lost.
He's awful & ugly and I love him. $4 well spent.

A plastic dragon toy on a dashboard. Its pretty freakin ugly, with bulging red eyes and nostrils painted sloppily, and a white plastic base hastily airbrushed teal. Its green wings are just glued on flaps, and it has huge sharp seams everywhere.

Were you with anyone else at the thrift store. What happened when you first noticed it?!

Welcome to Chicago.

Note that it's marathon day so there are a lot of street closure.

Gather your patience.
