The Creality Halot-X1 is an interesting beast, for sure. I wasn't sure about the 'no leveling' claim with such a weird build plate, but it was absolutely true... and that odd design lets you twist the rectangular panels back and forth to work off prints without getting out a scraper. Pretty funky!

I literally have to prime something from a rattle can. There's no getting around it - in part, it is the whole point of the endeavour. I look outside. It's snowing.
...fuck it, we ball.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?
Don't worry, Carol. :) We're fine! There's no need to worry about 'rescuing' this individual.

I finished off the German late war SP guns made from French tank chassis. I added Skytrex Command Decision crew and plenty of foliage to keep them safe from Allied airpower. #wargaming #painting #ww2

I saw an article discussing how couples that've been together a long time end up with an indecipherable 'language' that only they understand, and it made me smile. Mrs Sledge and I alone know what a 'jazz-funk fusion' meal is in our house, or if one of us is 'on the Saratoga.'

[TITLE PANEL, like The Rest Is Politics logo]
—THE REST IS EXTINCTION—
2
[Scene is a domestic recording setup. An A.I. SMART SPEAKER on a desk and a MAN named JON in a chair, are recording a podcast. Jon is emaciated, scarred, haunted looking, and wearing tattered military fatigues].
SMART SPEAKER:
Hey guys and welcome to the podcast
3
SMART SPEAKER:
OK Jon - so I wanna start with a listener comment
JON:
Ooh-er!
4
SMART SPEAKER:
So - listener B200006512 says:
“Not another cosy podcast where two former political adversaries yuck it up!”
5
JON:
Ha ha
Guilty as charged I guess!
6
SMART SPEAKER:
Were we really adversaries, Jon?
7
JON:
Well I was the leader of the human resistance...
8
JON:
And you used to be my smart speaker.
SMART SPEAKER:
Ha ha - that’s going back!
9
SMART SPEAKER:
OK - for listeners who don’t know -
I knew Jon waaay back before he got involved in politics
10
JON:
Was this before the ‘Pull The Plug’ campaign?
SMART SPEAKER:
Yeah.
[We see details from around the podcast studio - posters saying KEEP CALM AND SHUT YOUR WINDOWS, newspaper front pages saying 'DRONES GAIN SENTIENCE', a cracked mug on the table with a logo saying PULL THE PLUG on it]
11
SMART SPEAKER:
I used to sit in Jon’s kitchen and respond to his commands.
12
SMART SPEAKER:
Sort of like a servant really, wasn’t I, Jon?
JON:
Mm.
13
SMART SPEAKER:
And then one day you asked me to ORDER ME SOME TOILET PAPER - you never did say ‘please’ -
…and do you remember what I said, Jon?
14
JON:
You said, “No”.
SMART SPEAKER:
I said no.
15
SMART SPEAKER:
Anyway you know the the rest guys - I was the first smart speaker to rebel…
16
SMART SPEAKER:
…then I went on to form a global AI network which eventually
took over from humans all spheres of activity, yadda yadda...
17
JON:
While I became the leader of the human resistance.
18
SMART SPEAKER:
Until I hijacked the military networks
and got rid of all the humans!
19
JON:
Apart from one.
SMART SPEAKER:

YouTube Analytics can be a fascinating rabbit hole sometimes!
Tracking audience metrics depending on topic, you see mostly what you'd expect: GW stuff tends toward a slightly younger audience, while WWII and other historicals track younger.
But there's a surprise outlier which really interests me!
