Dang, the difference a better Wifi router placement can make! Router sitting inside the shelf (surrounded by way too much metal stuff) versus 2 meters over on the very top of said shelf. All it needed was a longer RJ45 cable than I had on hand for the past 6 months - finally bought one today 😅

Woah, that was a near-total #solareclipse! Shame it was so close to sunset; I chased it down the street trying to find spots without houses in the way, but didn't manage to catch the end of it 😅

Check out my latest #3Dprint! Very satisfying. Wooden putty knife handle was broken, so I printed a new one =D

Well, one wrong line of code can blow up a rocket, and four wrong characters in the G-code can make my #3Dprinter immediately destroy the thing it literally just spent 12 hours making 💀 💀 #3Dprinting

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people murdered by the Nazis, as well as countless other victims. We honor their lives by rejecting the evils of antisemitism, dehumanization, and authoritarian violence wherever they appear. Never again means never again for anyone.

We must film and post every single thing these thugs do in public spaces. Pull out your phone and hit record. Use a long lens if you've got one. Every angle covered, every masked face in closeup. A detailed visual record will matter.

17 years ago today. The first self-replication by a #RepRap #3Dprinter - the start of the #3Dprinting revolution.
RepRap 3D printer on the left (parent), and the RepRap 3D printer on the right (child) that it printed the parts for. Adrian Bowyer and Vik Olliver of the RepRap Project also in the picture. 14:00 hours UTC on 29 May 2008.

I can't believe I just had to use a gas lawnmower for the first time in my life... You should've heard me cursing about the stupid, stinky, uselessly overcomplicated invention for the entire half-hour it took me to get it started 😂 (granted, it's a particularly old & crappy one)

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.
