Oh hey, I have a ko-fi.

Mostly because when I make cutting boards or stuff like that, end up making double or triple because of how much material I end up getting, so this will let me sell extras.

I might throw up my dice vaults there, but we'll see.

it's fascinating in the time of everyone using their real names for their socials, when searching for people from records in the past looking for real names is basically useless, but usernames are often easier to search for.

Do you want to watch four hours about audio-animatronics and the history of robotics as it relates to themed entertainment?

Of course you do.

Three points about E-scooters (& siblings):
🛴🛴🛴
E-mobility devices are here and are not going away;
E-mobility devices can improve urban mobility, affordability, & livability;
E-mobility devices are a novel safety challenge in our traditional transportation realm.

What do we do about this? 🧵

If using reference was cheating, we wouldn’t have furniture, we wouldn’t have houses, we wouldn’t have roads.

You’re still doing the work to make the thing.
I want to add the one that fucked me up: it's fine to use reference, it's not "cheating" or whatever

There was a rubber duck museum in point Roberts?
The Rubber Duck Museum in Point Roberts, Washington is moving across the border to Tsawwassen Mills, BC.
The owners say Canadians have stopped coming, and tariffs have driven up the cost of ducks.

As soon as you are introduced to the hierarchy of controls in their professional life, you see it everywhere and how hot garbage cities are at eliminating risk.

hows the City of Vancouver imagine it's going to enforce new peak hour bus lanes when they can't even enforce the current ones or any other traffic law. It's constant: this car's been sitting 10 mins. while drivers violate the law on the other side too. Paint & automated enforcement is the only way.

@dontfuck.men hey, random thought, what’s the breakdown of Canadian artists in the RDP list? Not because of cancon, just curious how it shakes out when not actively making it happen.
