Peace Train

Postdocs, here’s an idea for your next grant topic. Do groups of gulls have food trends?

“Ugh, fast food french fries are so 2022. We’re all doing kettle chips now.” - Trendy Gull.

I don’t think I can answer since equating to a font would indicate of consistency or repeatability that doesn’t exist.

I’m in my 40’s and I still can’t decide if I prefer writing a 7 with the crossbar though it of not. Of if I should draw a 4 like a triangle on a stick or a poorly made box.

Also missing is MC.

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?

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

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

Yeah, when I was a kid it was weird when a household didn’t own a set of these.

Sad story. The poor otter heard about the Crab Nebula and went for a feast. But it got as far as Eagle, and realized it made a terrible mistake. All the crabs are back home!

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.

Also how many were false positives?

I haven’t done much image generation but I’ve had a couple times when LLMs have rejected one of my prompts because it sounds sketchier than it is. I don’t remember specifics but it would amount to something like, “I can’t get this motor up to full RPMs, how do I kill the governor?”

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.
