First out of sixty-five.

Yeah, we're gonna blow the shit out of the sky.

In the words of Dr. Glaucomflecken, "Yeah, so Fourth of July weekend is when the general public decides to dabble in explosives."

We are united because no individual state in the union has the capacity to become the world's largest economy or sole superpower. Together we managed it.

I have a cherished memory from college of one of those things.

The last EA game I bought was a SNES game. I can't boycott them any harder.

Can incubators not be made out of PET? why not accept and recycle the whole bottle?

Do like Japan with ammunition. You have to turn in your spent cases to buy more.

So...a plasti-dip machine? What's the use case here? did they just pull an Ouya?

I'm used to taking care of a cat with fur. Izzy gets weekly brushings to help reduce hairballs and otherwise she does a good job washing herself.

Probably don't do bats so close to the house.

Well get a cat with fur next time like a normal person.

I'm being flippant, I don't really have anything against sphinx cats. I don't really want to own one because my furry cat is enough of a struggle to keep warm, but I would like to meet a sphinx some day.

Do they need therapy? Or do they need a world they can actually fucking live in?

It's not like either one is available to them.

A bird large enough to need an opening that size while still tending to roost in trees...Great horned owl? Bald eagle? Turkey vulture? Turkey? Not many of them nest in holes in trees so probably wouldn't know what to do with a box.

It's on the docket, It may be winter before I get around to it.

Yeah, at some point I would suggest replacing the unit as a whole rather than throwing parts at it constantly. For me, that point would come when the system can't survive a season.

How are you getting FreeCAD to run poorly? I've run it fine on a Raspberry Pi.

Working isn't worth doing.

Jesus that's a living creature?

I wanted to be a pilot since I was a child. I got an introductory ride in a Cessna on my 14th birthday. Started taking flying lessons in earnest around 16, earned a private pilot's license my freshman year of college. Decided I wanted to go into it as a job, started working on my instrument rating, and for my junior year of college I transferred to ERAU in Daytona Beach. Lasted just over a semester there. Ended up earning a light sport flight instructor certificate and I taught classes at a small school, eventually earning an LSRM certificate and working as the company mechanic as well. I'm a walking flight school, just add airplane.

Wasn't earning enough money to pay all my own bills, and though I was logging 20-30 hours a week of flight time little of it was applicable to further ratings, and then the owners of the school started doing some sketchy shit and I decided to dip out. In the summer of 2012 I landed after a lesson with a student, and I haven't flown an airplane since.

I kinda built myself a job as the project manager of a little job shop/prototyping firm, then that business didn't survive COVID. I'm a woodworker now.
