It’s only a little bit smaller… Just four more to build. And wire. And calibrate…….
Decided to try a Tapchanger setup on my pan Trident. The original tool changer effort never really panned out.

"I can't figure out why the app I manage isn't building so I'll open a ticket to enterprise-wide architecture group with, 'It doesn't work here's my entire build log'" is an interesting look...

It’s very “me” that while completely entombed in blankets, I pull up my solar panel monitoring app to see how bright it is out there. Only 268 watts. I can brave this Day Star without fear.

I just saw someone walk past my office pushing a huge 1000+ pound rolling equipment dolly intended for moving datacenter equipment (scissor lifting platform, the whole #!…) carrying one single Dell laptop, screen open, power on.
I get safety first, but at least lock the screen!

The gulf of meaning between the terms "horse play" and "pony play" illustrates why expecting your culture's translation of another's ancient texts to be 100% true to their original intent is dangerous and probably not a good idea.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f4iesqtkfladdoarowlki64t/bafkreihznr54dybsxrzfx7v4fwyblukh66niu5rciizzrjfzhrmc3upelm@jpeg)

I think I've found a new favorite ultra-specific subgenre of YouTube video: Musician reacts to hearing Tank! from the Cowboy Bebop sound track for the first time.

EVIL in big, blood red, all caps...evil as a force that is seperate from humanity doesn't exist. There is no devil or Cthulu or Darkness. There's just people. Evil and the horrors that we use that word to describe, are a product of human beings. Pretending otherwise abdicates responsibility.

I wonder if somewhere at 1 Infinite Loop there's a very slow moving clock that tells them how round the window corners and buttons should be in a new macOS release. We've come around to very round again, I see.

Need to start getting up 30 minutes earlier? Just let anxiety brain wake you up four hours early the first day, and the second day will feel like you’re getting to sleep in! For more shitty life pro tips….

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.
Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.
People have power. Ask Target

I’m sure this is because I’m not well read enough, but I continue to wonder if any futurists more correctly predicted that computing power was dangerous not because it would become an uncontrollable superintelligence but because zero cost rapid bullshit generation is destabilizing to society.

The worst part of adding new monitoring to a troubled system is that with no baseline, you almost certainly cannot draw meaningful conclusions from the data.
