Nowadays I get notably mentally fatigued when focusing on something for more than an hour

I’m editing photos from my brother’s wedding and it’s shockingly tiring despite how much I absolutely love photo editing

Direct evidence that I am related to the princess from The Princess and the Pea because this felt like a boulder in my shoe

This is a fidget clicker and it’s adorable!
I added the cardboard sleeve to get the full effect

I saw a barred owl last night!

I can’t be 100% sure but it was a big bird, at night, that wasn’t shaped like a hawk, and I’ve heard a barred owl on that road multiple times

It flew right in front of my car and disappeared in a tree but I’m sure enough to feel super lucky!

I don’t recommend two 8+ hour drives in a 39 hour period

Can we stop calling them video podcasts and just call them what they are, which are Internet Talk Shows

Not to be THAT dictionary, but…

It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

I’m aware that attention bids are often how people initiate time with others, but sometimes my PDA simply won’t have it and I come off like an asshole, then later I ruminate over how shitty a person I am and end up planning ways to fawn in recompense, because I owe it to them for being shitty

I have successfully conceived, carried out, and printed a modification of someone else’s 3D model, a soft tape measure spool!

It was way harder than I expected, mostly because I struggle to think in 3D, but I’m so happy with the result!

I thought I was a brown switch guy but I just got hold of a blue one (making a new fidget) and hot damn!

Maybe I should consider moving to a blue switch keyboard, too…

Check the credits for Pixar’s Ratatouille

You’ll see a note that there was no use of motion capture; they did all animation by hand, no shortcuts

Oddly ahead of its time given where AI is in relation to art/animation

Crunchy peanut butter is underrated

I still prefer smooth most of the time, but crunchy isn’t some abomination like everyone makes it out to be

Except extra crunchy, because you can’t just dump whole peanuts into smooth peanut butter and act like it wasn’t a mistake Fred made on the product line…

I’ve discovered that the brand-specific fork of Cura I (sometimes) use can sort of communicate with my printer (it didn’t at first), but it’s unpredictable, unstable, and if the connection status changes while I’m printing from an SD card it will immediately stop the print…

Not only did I find a Speed Champions scale two-post lift to 3D print, but I successfully managed to edit the model to fit in my tiny printer!

This is my absolute favorite print I’ve done so far!

It’s just a worry/fidget object I found online but I sanded it smooth and it feels SO GOOD!!

I just had to solve a captcha for a basic ass, not-gonna-find-anything-relevant, web search

How much longer till Web 4.0 takes off and forces our browsers do this by default?

I’ve broken only two screen protectors across my first eight smartphones dating back to 2010

This one?

I’ve broken three and it hasn’t even been a year…

Likely just coincidence or a return to the mean but it feels sinister, like the beginning of a crappy horror movie

‘‘Tis the season, I guess
