Stop Naming Adages After People and Calling Them Laws

Good page of common adages. My brain is bad with names so I can’t remember these when I need them.

Bummed I got bounced from the MSP feed, but I was really really stretching the definition of "metro" I guess.
Anyway, I finished designing this in #Fusion and I'm ready to print it. A robot from one of my favorite games ever, the C64 version of #ImpossibleMission.

Loving the discourse!
I still occasionally pull out my C64 and 1541, and a lot of those old disks still work fine into their fourth decade. I can still connect with the fascination I felt when I first got to hold these things.
I was just the right age for them to be more than commodities.

i dug in to this a bit
pretty sure there were some trademarks involved
IBM and 3M called them Diskettes
Maxell called them Floppy Disks
these terms go Way Back its right there on the packaging
this Elder Millennial called them Floppies or Disks but no one unironically called them Diskettes

Doing some quick prototyping, so I dug out one of the first PLA spools I bought back in 2014 for my first #3dprinter. Pretty sure this stuff was $40/kg at the time, and is not very good quality by 2025 standards.

My sister-in-law brought over an organizer that had been in her family for a few generations because she thought I'd enjoy going through it.
And this is *extremely* My Shit. It's like she delivered an Ax-Man.

Burned out pretty bad on #3Dprinting about 2 years ago and left some PETG in my Bambu X1C's AMS.
Running a print on the stuff now, and it's... fine? It could probably stand to be dried a little but it's not really too stringy or bubbly. I guess the seal on the AMS is pretty good!

Reading through this and being amazed that life with complex brains not only survive, but can thrive even when compromised by injury or trauma.
Evolution must've paid some mighty prices for that kind of resilience.
Seems like hubris that we can duplicate or surpass it as easily as techbros think.

Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year.
Im sure there will be no issues there at all.

I managed to score two of these amazing Noritake Vacuum Fluorescent displays super cheap.
They're amazing! Proportional fonts! Graphics! Windows!?
Kind of tempted to try to make a little side-scolling game with them.

Shifted to VSCode and #PlatformIO to continue embedded development on the ENC XY.
I had a cheapo DS1302 RTC module, so why not add a clock? Fun conversions of RTC bytes into ASCII for the PDSP-1884s.
I still need to come up with a good way to set it. Right now it's based on compile time.

Hacking again. This time the Osram PDSP-1884 displays in some obsolete video equipment.
Had to #ReverseEngineer the front panel, which was fun.
Also #Arduino this time. It's all 5V logic, so the #Pico would be more annoying.
Also have control of the buttons and button LEDs.
