I had to look up sinecure, damn what a good word that perfectly describes the bulk of the Democrats A+ grammar, would learn again
I'm really trying my best to lose myself in learning and doing projects. I'm 3D printing all the things, I'm CNCing wood, I'm laser etching and cutting leather and fabric, I'm learning how to sew, and today going to try embroidery for the first time Meanwhile Friday at my job looks like this π«
Piece of shit ICE fascists are swarming Little Tokyo. Posted up outside the Japanese American Museum threatening people with internment. Impossible to overstate how disgusting these people are.

The most valuable thing I learned from this was to remove barriers that increase the time it takes to iterate on failed designs. Our current design would have saved us at least 8 months of just waiting. Hereβs a BTS talking about how we cut the iteration time down to 3-4 days.
Taki Udon@takiudon.bsky.social Β· last yr.18 months of R&D, just as many failed revisions, and more than $200K in costs. SUPER5 OLED HDMI is finally done. This is the first fully assembled device in the world. You can't imagine how relieved I am that it works. This was the most difficult project I've ever worked on.
I recognize the irony of using social media to say this, but I honestly think we're cooked I don't see how the fuck we escape this
Ars Technica@arstechnica.com Β· last yr.We're probably doomed to endless toxic feedback loops unless someone hits upon a brilliant fundamental redesign that manages to change social media's core dynamics.
Started from the locals now I'm here The journey continues π«
If I had a dollar for every person who told me we could not *possibly* enact even the most reasonable gun control laws because otherwise true patriots would not be able to stop this scenario that is happening right now regardless I would be one of the oligarchs

Predator pinball is going into production Don't know when I'll see one in person, but it's pretty fun to see a line of skinned body cabinets (and an Alien peeking out in the back)
I often talk about thinking of 3D printers like sewing machinesβtools that might not be in every house, but are pretty ubiquitous and with a little practice allow you a lot of freedom to make things But, I didn't actually know how to sew, so my wife taught me and I made my first hat. Cat for scale

Weβre not sure who needs to hear this, but βblueberryβ has two bβs.
Whatβs to review? The extortionist is going to keep coming back. Tell him to fuck off.
Reuters Legal@legal.reuters.com Β· last yr.The University of California said on Friday it was reviewing a $1 billion settlement offer by President Donald Trump's administration for UCLA after the government froze hundreds of millions of dollars in funding over pro-Palestinian protests.
I need UCLA to fight this as hard as they can. Whatever kind of pressure or presence alums like me need to create to see that done, I'm in. I played there as a kid, went to law school there, met friends there, played fighting games there. But if they cave & collaborate then no I didn't & get bent
