Politicians being too dumb to understand the difference between transgender and transgenic would be the funniest thing to happen in the US lately if it wasn't so fucking dangerous.

Prediction: by the end of Trumps term we will have coined some version of “Dumb Man Theory” which will be a much dumber version of Mad Man Theory used by the right as an alternative explanation for how clearly idiotic this administration is.

Ya know, I hate to say it but I think the Trump admin has convinced me there is a use case for blockchain technology. All US government website content should be stored on an immutable ledger so this bullshit is at least easy to track with what changed and who changed it.

Well at least this week should serve as irrefutable proof that there is absolutely not some organized powerful iteration of “the deep state” out there. Surely they won’t keep using that insane excuse right? Right?

Rolled my ankle today, I’m fine. Cruise line is insisting I see their doctor. I don’t want to and am insisting they must pay me for the privilege of me going to their doctor. They are baffled and unamused by my position.

Today we lost my office mate Beef. She was going in to the vet due to an eye infection and weight loss and ended up not being able to come home with us. My wife was able to hold her as she passed. I’ll miss her greatly.

I keep having these absolutely wild conversations with my parents where they express a view which is basically, "Anyone should be able to get an abortion if they want or need it. Obviously we are pro-life, but we wouldn't impose on others." Like... what do you think pro-choice is!?

I'm so sorry about this, I am talking to the marketing team now and informing them that they either need to Alf up their skeets or find some other way to match the vibe and contribute things that are more than just ads.

People who can look at a dog in pain/hunger/suffering and feel nothing just completely freak me out. What is wrong with them? Thank you void, just needed to get that off my chest.

New panel coming up. The housing seen here lets me mount these to the bottom of my desk (I have an L desk) so the stick out at me at a 45 degree angle. Examples shown of current panels. This one will go to the right of the existing 2.

The image shows a 3D CAD design created in Autodesk Fusion 360. The design features a flight simulator panel with a detailed front face containing various labeled control sections such as "IFF," "MASTER," "ENG FEED," and "AIR SOURCE." The panel includes multiple rotary switches, toggle switches, and labeled text to represent different settings and functions. The panel is mounted on a box-shaped housing with angled side brackets for support, featuring screw holes for assembly. The overall layout is precise, with clear text engraving and holes aligned for mechanical components or fasteners. The design appears to replicate a realistic flight control interface for simulation purposes.The image shows a completed physical flight simulator control panel installed under a wooden desk. The panel features a realistic design with multiple toggle switches and rotary knobs. Each switch is labeled with clear text for specific functions such as "AV POWER," "MIDS LVT," and "MAP," among others, mimicking the appearance of real-world aircraft controls. The panel is securely mounted in a custom housing with black screws, providing a clean and polished look. The rotary knobs and toggle switches are metallic, with reflective finishes, adding to the realism. A small green electronic module is visible on the desk above the panel, likely part of the related electronics.
