Read the book Sapiens.

Being able to believe in fiction is what allows humanity to function.

I’d be doing this right now, but the rest of the family is sleeping.

This is true. Although, every once in a while I’ll convince the wife unit to go out and we both usually end the night with a sense of regret and a feeling that we both would have preferred to have just stayed home.

Yeah, the $36+ per kilo is a lot, but from a “vote with your dollar” perspective, I may stomach it in hopes that the price goes down, and the color options improve. I don’t print as often as I used to, so that makes it easier.

Apparently wiki identifies it as a “pointing stick”.

…also, I find it amusing that the article does use the term clitmouse.

Mine.

When I was younger, we moved around a lot, and as side effect of that, we paid for a storage unit to hold less frequently used stuff. Around the time I started high school, we managed to buy a house, and moved everything from the storage unit into our home. In it there was a picnic basket that I had never seen before. I remember looking inside and finding a horrible smelling bag of “bread” which was actually a black liquid with lumps in it. There was also some individually wrapped cheese slices which visually speaking were indistinguishable from any I could buy in the store today.

Just to give a shout out to my boss when I worked as a mechanic, I’d like to say “get the fuckin’ torch. She’s hogged up tighter than a nuns cunt” and also a “she shakes like a sick whore shiting blood”. Lastly, I’ll add “fuck you shit whore fucking cunt”

Duane, you made amazing progress in the world of profanity and you were an amazing mentor.

Thank you.

“Nothing worth mentioning, you?”

I’ve been using vimwiki for a while. My most recent change was to switch it over to md format, and setting it up share data with Obsidian. Most of the note taking still happens in the terminal, but digging through it typically happens in the Obsidian UI.

So far it’s working pretty smoothly.

This feels like the right place to link to the Kralyn Positron project which is a compact, open source portable 3D printer.

I started buying parts to make one but haven’t taken the time to get any of the machined parts manufactured yet.

I am certainly not one of the younger folks and had never seen that before. That is awesome, thank you for sharing.

I like to tinker, my brother just wants something that works. I built a Voron, he got Prussa. We are both happy with our 3d printers.

The idea of a paperclip involved in jacking off made me cringe more than I would have expected.

Fuck yeah, I’d wear a cloak.

Unrelated to the question, but the capitalization of the seemingly random words in the title is interesting. I am going to guess you are a programmer and typically capitalize class or variable names out of habbit and that leaked slightly into the title of your post.

I know many sports games a lot of the adverts are imposed digitally before broadcast. I don’t watch a lot of sports, but I would certainly enjoy watching more if there were an option to disable the added adverts.

Similar to the nail polish suggestion, they also make clear spray paint.

After 30+ years, I finally bought myself a nice pair of left handed scissors.

If I’m being honest, I’m so used to right handed ones, that the lefty ones feel wrong anyway.

Back when automated toll booths had baskets to throw coins in, I could easily pay tolls at around 45 mph.

EZ pass eventually became a thing, probably saved me from my own young stupidity.
