So, this is going to sound like a weird question.

But, looking for a vibe check:

What do you think of the company Meow Wolf?

Specifically, if you know me, would you think I'd do good there?

No reason at all 😇

Man I miss doing stupid stuff like this.

Please, someone make a face tracking headset that doesn't suck.

Firr @firr.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, it's just a VRchat avatar and a stream camera. Just need a VR headset and controllers that you can use without gripping (flipvr or index controllers).

I got real stupid when I would do it, adding in a bunch of full body trackers, face and finger tracking but you get diminishing returns

IN MY DEFENSE THE GIANT RED BUTTON WITH THE WORD RESET WAS TILTED SLIGHTLY HOW COULD I HAVE POSSIBLY EXPECT TO READ THAT?

Dear straight people, I need plumbing help.

My tankless hot water heater has stopped working. I am armed with a multimeter and no sense of self-preservation. What should I start poking around to try to make this work again?

All my gay friends have done is offered to shower with me to warm it up.

I'm getting 240 volts into the terminal block at the bottom of the unit. 240 volts across the heater. The control board seems to only be getting one and a half volts, I assume it would need more.

Although I appreciate the sentiment, my ace ass would just get angry that you're hogging my fancy shampoo

My entire job right now is programming alone in a 65 degree theme park on a laptop on a picnic table and fighting the other guy who starts every other sentence "ChatGPT said that..."

I just wanna make things I'm proud of again.

I hate working on third shift, I feel so disconnected from everyone.

I've been throwing my resume around like crazy but no one is hiring. :/

Thank you again for everyone trying to donate a kidney for me.
I don't have any new updates or anything--they're still working through the list and yeah we are really beginning to run out of time. If you're on the fence but would like to try, get started at iggyland.org
Thank you everyone!

The TL;DR on how you can help (if you scroll down, the full story is below): In short I have a disease that requires a living kidney donor. There are no other viable options for me. I have only a few ...

I was like 🤏 close to peeling it off when I was in his car earlier this year.

For those of you with a primal urge to peel the protective plastic off of new devices as soon as they're opened, this has been on my car for 12 years.
