Not that I’m aware of, but it would be nice.

○ Depends on how long it takes to get them all

TIL that finishing a shaped metal sheet by pounding it on a pedestal is called “planishing” and said pedestal is called a “planishing stake.” I’ve seen it done I just never thought to ask what it was called, I guess.

I just saw my future.

One day (hopefully decades from now) I’ll be browsing whatever the internet has become and I’ll see this image with that bottom line crossed out. And that’s how I’ll learn he died.

I have a locally hosted invidious instance but increasingly I’m finding most of the creators I watch are on Nebula. I just recently discovered that Rifftrax has a presence there.

Satisfactory recently took over my free time. ALL of it.

Otherwise I have coding projects, CAD/printing projects, electronics projects, D&D session planning, and (of course) Lemmy/Mastodon.

but… what’s the left cookie supposed to be?

My only comfort is that the rat is facing the other direction.

Sometimes I think the internet needs an Alec symbol to shine anytime Technology Connections needs to be invoked.

I imagine it would be like the bat signal, but look like hand painted LED Christmas lights or something.

The ocean around Japan is also what gave the world the sea bunny. Cute abounds!

Those are the 3 I’m most excited for. I didn’t know Bryan Fuller was a MSTie, but I’m also 0% surprised. Kumail probably had to become a MSTie (if he wasn’t already) or else Jonah would have surely driven him mad over the years. Even before he wore the yellow jumpsuit.

Wasn’t “What the Frak” a real shirt made in the BSG era?

Right now the DEA is not going after state marijuana because of a memo issued during the Obama administration. That can be revoked at any time.

My wife has a stack of 9 mostly finished quilts that just need bindings and thread burying, all set to get finished and given out between now and the end of the year.

As of yesterday the stack is down to 8 because the lap quilt destined for my workstation is currently getting its binding.

Fun fact: discs can herniate multiple times even after you’ve shrunk half an inch in height and think all the cream has been squeezed out from between the cookies.

tchncs has a patreon which I support.

Deno2 and typescript. For no particular reason the release of Deno2 has prompted me to build a web app in my spare time. I mostly a sysadmin, I haven’t written anything but APIs and utility scripts for at least 5 years.

The House of Hohenzollern in Germany. The Habsburgs formally gave up their claim in order to create the Austro-Hungarian alliance/Empire, but they had asserted it less than a generation prior and also claimed their Empire status on that back of it.
