Define “perfect ending”
A picture of Chidi and Eleanor from the finale of “The Good Place” the quote reads: Picture a wave in the ocean. You can see it, measure it, its height, the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through, it's there & you can see it, you know what it is. It's a wave & then it crashes on the shore & it's gone. But the water is still there. The wave was just a different way for the water to be for a little while.

It shouldn’t have taken having a kid for me to buy myself dinosaur print dungarees but I’m glad I got to where I needed to be.

Thr Rodnen & Otamatea Times WAITEMATA & KAIPARA GAZETTE. PRIOE-10s perannum in advance WARKWORTH, WEDNESDAY AUGUST 14, 1912. 3d per Copy. Science Notes and News. COAL CONSUMPTION AFFECTING CLIMATE. The furnaces of the world are now burning about 2,000,000,000 tons of coal a year. When this is burned, uniting with oxygen, it adds about 7,000,000,000 tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere yearly. This tends to make the air a more effective blanket for the carth and to raise its temperature. The effect may be considerable in a few centuries.

A faux “motivational poster” with the background photograph of a colour run. The motivational text reads “Don’t forget to blame foreigners. Cause it’s obviously not your own fault.”

I printed a triceratops skull on my resin printer and have just finished the first coat of paint. Looking good so far, can’t wait to do a good black/brown wash to bring out the shadows.

Ok, the Hackmellow is officially in alpha.
This chonky boi has a Raspberry Pi 5 up his bum and seems very happy about it.

YES the thermals are currently not so much inadequate as they are “please melt my hardware” but that’s because I’m using this more open internal to test fans.

I’ve decided my Raspberry Pi 5 needs a new case. The form factor I’ve decided upon isn’t the smartest but it IS the dumbest.

Clamp frame designed so far, behold the future HACKMELLOW!

(Yes, cooling is going to be a bitch)

Doing some work on my 3D printer tonight as it was having extrusion issues. I can never resist a CaliMouse as a nice test print.
