  • I'm terrible about taking photos of things, it just doesn't occur to me until I need one.

    This is the view from one of my printer webcams of a 2 day print that just finished about 20 minutes ago; its covered in supports because the walls are modeled like stone. A friend of mine of running Vecna: Eve of Ruin and asked me to print him a Death House (in about 16 parts - 11 beds full). In total this is going to be about 20 days of printing because I'm doing it at 0.1mm layer height - I'm not quite halfway through. This is the model and here is a reddit thread showing it painted.

    Since that one is not much to look at, here's a pic with a squirrel, from a recent blog post about how my 3D printed Bird/Squirrel feeder has withstood 15 months of weather and abuse.

  • I'll celebrate when no one considers this to be news.

  • Then let me extol the virtues benefits of going back to a base12 standard for all our small number systems.

  • Most people seem to have a negative reaction to this, but I think we should all go UTC. Timezones are for suckers. My schedule at work is 4"pm" to 12"am," dinner is about 2, and sundown is currently about 3am.

  • It's from The Good Place season 2. I can't find a good clip. Presumably it runs afoul of copyright bots.

  • Its weird to remember a time before She Hates Me was mixed with Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer

  • All this violent imagery, my stars! I need pearls to clutch.

  • I prefer to think of Pluto as the king of the dwarf planets and namesake of the Plutoids, rather than as a weird lesser planet not appreciably bigger than its moon.

  • Makes sense to move our nukes out of Germany, since Trump doesn't want them pointed at Russia any more.

  • Writing them off as an American company is totally valid, but I'm happy to pay for a quality service because it keeps ads out and lets me vote with my money. It's really not much to cling to psychologically, but it helps. When I and others completely degoogle our lives it moves no needles at GoogHQ, but paying subscriber metrics are a KPI discussed in every board room in the world.

  • It's had that for a while now. It was the main reason I'd pipe up to recommend Kagi, but now there's also their search anonymizer and tor endpoint.

  • It's a very efficient device for delivering large amounts of methane straight to the upper atmosphere, where it'll do the most damage.

  • The perfect transmission UI was the Teletouch on the Ford Edsel. And if anyone tries to argue I'll say "nuh uh," run away, and cry.

  • It's been more than 20 years since my wife moved to the west cost and she still laments the lack of fireflies. Where-as, whenever I've been out east, I'm caught off guard by them... then I start singing Roxanne.

    You don't have to put on the gold light

  • Have you ever taken the time to really appreciate the jizz of a woodcock?

  • I think I was stunned by a car company that would bother to conditionally pluralize doors on a dot matrix LCD screen. I'm so used to the companies now, cutting every corner no matter how many times they've been cut before.

  • My OPA sticker says: Day's coming soon, kopeng. Remember the Cant

  • In high school friends and I made a (terrible) "Very Low Budget Star Wars" sketch. The only gag I remember is that Vader was wheezing because his costume was a black garbage bag over his torso (arms torn through at the sides of the bag) and we didn't make a hole for his head/breathing.
