Done! It only took four months! 😅
It’s only the third kit I’ve done, but much more challenging than the other two. (and hopefully the most challenging for a bit)
I still need to rinse the blue line. I’ve also changed to a wooden hoop but the size seems slightly smaller…

Pete Hegseth: "The future of American warfare is here, and it's spelled AI."
He says the military has launched a new platform that "puts the world's most powerful frontier AI models, starting with Google Gemini, directly into the hands of every American warrior."

Important win this weekend: I got my multifunction printer to scan directly to my NAS, thanks to a docker file that makes it show up as a correct target.
Before, I needed to have a computer turned on.

MSNBC rebranded as MS NOW. This seems like decently significant news but I haven’t heard about it anywhere.
I only noticed it because some YouTube recommendations were from this unknown “MS NOW” account.
Feels weird.

I’ll say it again: the two-party system in the US is a disaster and an embarrassment.
It’s a manifestation of this weird manichean belief in everything. You have to be in one of these two camps! Red or blue? Good guys or bad guys? No subtlety or depth.
So basic and simple-minded it’s embarrassing.

“For people without access to credit, that could be a blessing.” Some journalists love to end up on a positive, non-fact-based opinion I guess.
“Some might argue that face-based analysis is more meritocratic than processes which reward, say, educational attainment”

You know when someone is telling you something absolutely ridiculous and you have to call them out on it?
Take out your phone, interrupt and say "I'm sorry, but I'm calling bullshit", call 1-906-I-CALL-BS, and put it on speaker.
That's 1-906-I-CALL-BS. (save it on your phone under "Bullshit")

IMO they also need to explain what that means in practice.
I remember well during the campaign when their consultants authorized them to start using the word. But they never explained why they said that and what that meant.
Control of the press, speech, abuse of law enforcement and DOJ, etc.

It turns out it didn’t fully fix it. It’s much better, but it’s still acting up sometimes. 🤷🏻♂️
One thing I really enjoy is fixing things, especially when the thing to fix and the fix itself are cheap.
I had this fan that was mostly working but sometimes struggled to get started. Turns out it’s a capacitor issue which can be replaced for $3 and 20 minutes.
Better than getting a whole new fan.
