swipe right!

Yeah its a weird feeling. A mix of relief that things sort of make sense, bewilderment that I've gone decades wearing masks and stimming without realizing it, frustration, trepidation, other SAT words. Plus some suspicions about other kids I grew up with...

I've never met anyone who retired to the middle of nowhere who wasn't back near a city within 5 years because someone's health took a turn. That includes my mother who dreamed of living in a small coast town all her life an did so after retiring, but my step-father's diagnosis of parkinson's cut that short.

There are a couple things that could stymie Captain Jackson. Is there a hungry shark on the bridge? Where is Captain Marvel's cat?

Could we swap to funions? Cold onion rings are gross and hot onion rings seem like a real problem (in context).

My 50s house still has a glass brick window facing the driveway. It's a great silhouette backdrop, if I leave the workbench light on.

Lemmings fear and respect the owl.

I don't remember specifics well enough but I was under age at the time, and I'm guessing if it was on the menu it was boozey.

Can confirm, Quarks is fun!

The Quarks Bar that was in the Las Vegas Hilton (back when the ST Experience was first running) ranks pretty high on my list "most fun things I've done in Vegas." I growled at a Klingon, drank a prune juice, and got a replica 1701-D commissioning plate. 10/10: Highly recommend (if you have a time machine).

Classic BOGF sale.

At this point I'm referring to all Lemmy meme storms as beans.

Not poopin'? That's a bean.
Moths? That's a bean.
Beans? Oh you better believe that's a bean.

 

Some North Carolina cities were forecasted to receive 10 times their monthly rainfall amount.

The emergency flash flood warning issued by the NWS says that at least 3,000 people are at risk of emergency flooding downstream of the Broad River and Lake Lure Dam

This is in additional to the flash flood warnings happening all over the state.

 

Thanks to Costco fueled bulk buying, between the last time I bought deodorant and this week, my deodorant changed from the Scent of Adventure to the Scent of Cypress.

So is Cypress the sum total of adventure or an overdue respite?

 

I've semi-recently started a career mode game that uses (among others) Stockalike Station Parts and FreeIVA. I finished a station in LKO and was tooling around in the command module when this screen caught my eye. Even from across the room I recognized the output from the ps command.

Hey Val, what's that screen showing

So I floated over and first noticed that it's upside down compared to other things in the room

The screen a bit closer

When I got closed and looked at the post image it was obvious that this the Apache Litespeep workers serving up a wordpress site. My head canon is that one the Kerbals runs their website on the computers of Hotel Kerbalfornia.

I don't know why my brain connected Trump's "a concept of a plan" and his obsession with Hannibal (Lecter, but I went with Smith), but here you go.

 

I used to think Bob was right, "a lot of numbers are divisible by 3" and so its a bad mnemonic. But, on the other hand, I have an easier time remembering the Belcher's anniversary than my own.

 

Surprisingly good quality for something from 80's cable TV.

In 2024 the first thing that struck me was that I can barely remember the last time I cared about what was in the mailbox.

 

A very early performance from TMBG, back when Letterman was still on NBC. February 1989 performing They'll Need a Crane

I love their old TV performances. Especially the Conan appearances. If there's an audience for it I'll post the best (video/audio) quality ones I can find, from time to time.

 

I'm pretty sure this is a new sentence for me: I'm glad I haven't been to the zoo in a few years.

LED screens designed to show the current Powerball Jackpot were affected in seemingly random locations, including billboards in Coos Bay, Albany and Portland between Aug. 12 and 14. Roughly four of the affected billboards were in the Portland area.

One of the affected billboards was recorded by Reddit user “HanginWithMrPooper” near the intersection of 68th Ave. and Halsey Street in Northeast Portland.

 

Stratasys is claiming infringements on patents it owns (included ones acquired from Makerbot) on things like purge towers, heated beds, and force detection. Many of them things common to most FFF/FDM 3D printers.

Its an interesting coincidence that this lawsuit against one printer maker is happening on the same day as a new product announcement (the Prusa MK4s) from another major printer maker.

In two complaints, filed in the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division, against six entities related to Bambu Lab, Stratasys alleges that Bambu Lab infringed upon 10 patents that it owns, some through subsidiaries like Makerbot (acquired in 2013). Among the patents cited are US9421713B2, "Additive manufacturing method for printing three-dimensional parts with purge towers," and US9592660B2, "Heated build platform and system for three-dimensional printing methods."

There are not many, if any, 3D printers sold to consumers that do not have a heated bed, which prevents the first layers of a model from cooling during printing and potentially shrinking and warping the model. "Purge towers" (or "prime towers" in Bambu's parlance) allow for multicolor printing by providing a place for the filament remaining in a nozzle to be extracted and prevent bleed-over between colors.

 

The SLAPP seems to working as intended.

An advertising industry initiative targeted by an Elon Musk lawsuit is "discontinuing" its activities and has deleted the member list from its website.

Stephan Loerke, the CEO of the WFA, wrote in an email to members, seen by Business Insider, that the decision was "not made lightly" but that GARM is a not-for-profit organization with limited resources.

Today, the House Judiciary GOP's official account on X called GARM being discontinued a "big win for the First Amendment" and a "big win for oversight." X CEO Linda Yaccarino also applauded the news.
