Where there's a will there's a way. Agree, it's mostly "don't dress that way", or "what did she do to provoke him", and not, "maybe if you can't control yourself, work on your shit before you go back out in public", or "uncle John won't be coming back until he can stop making you uncomfortable".

Lol. Did you forget how this exchange started? You came in white knighting a sign author instead of just rolling your eyes. I came in rolling my eyes because hysteria is exhausting regardless of which end of the spectrum it's on.

It may be related to the dysfunction of my workplace but Strong Ground by Brené Brown has quickly jumped to the top of my "most gifted book" list. Highly recommended for leaders, aspiring leaders, and basically anyone working in today's workforce.

Is there an article on this on a site with integrity? Any site that allows ads like this are trash. Yes, this is an ad pretending to be the video that the article is referring to. I hate scammers.

It's normal for us to get 1 or 2 days in the low 80's. This obliterates any known record for highs above 80 in February here. Actual temps I've observed have been even higher than recorded. It's getting real... #cooked

Here's a simplified version of how agentic memory works. excalidraw.com#json=bEDABfS... - LLMs have context windows to store relevant info (short/working memory) - Additional details and summaries can be stored outside of the context window for quick reference when needed

I had some textured floor/deck paint left over from another project and wanted to see how it would work on the wall. It seems to work great! Just need to wait for it to fully cure before I test it out. Then I thought the big brown slab was a bit drab so I got creative with some more leftover paints.

CuriouslyCory @curiouslycory.com · 09/07/2025

Does this mean I'll actually stay home instead of going to the climbing gym tomorrow? Doubtful, but I'm proud of the progress I've made and it's finally a large enough surface area to set something interesting! Planning some overhang, but that's going to require a larger budget. Textured paint soon!

CuriouslyCory @curiouslycory.com · 07/07/2025

All the holds I had been printing were publicly shared files. Today I printed the first of my designs 😁 The foot chip and a small juggy crimp. I'm happy with how both turned out and have a bunch more in the print queue. My overall collection is growing fast.

CuriouslyCory @curiouslycory.com · 06/07/2025

Sand fill is cheap and effective, but feels heavier than just resin. I'll weigh the ones I have done one of each fill with tomorrow when I swap out holds out and confirm. I definitely have enough to actually set some interesting problems, now I just need to wait for the rest of the hardware.

CuriouslyCory @curiouslycory.com · 04/07/2025

Test tested successfully. I have another salvaged door, still in one piece (8ft tall x ~3ft wide). I'd love to use it to support the plywood I'm planning on using but it's very heavy. Bolts matching the t-nuts won't get here until next Thursday so I have time to decide. Printing more holds for now.

CuriouslyCory @curiouslycory.com · 04/07/2025

Test hold turned out great! Well enough to make a bunch more. Also scrounged some scrap and hardware from an old swing set to make a test wall while I wait for the funds for a few sheets of 3/4" plywood and the bolts. I need to run the numbers tomorrow and see what the real cost per hold will be.

Experimenting to find ways to make durable, fun, and inexpensive climbing holds. I've been able to 3d print some portable fingerboards, but they take quite a bit of filament and long print times. By setting the bottom layers to zero and gyroid infill I can create the shells and fill with epoxy.

To make up for missing Caturday here's R'Saad. He was found abandoned and nearly toothless, the vet thought he might make it a couple more weeks so we set out to give him the best last few weeks possible. Fast forward 4+ months and he seems to have decided to stick around for a while. 😻

Just got a new paypal phishing scam. They are using paypal to send the messages :O It's not my email address in the "to" field, in fact this message is sitting in my gmail inbox. They used the "note to recipient" field to add a "if you don't recognize this, call this bogus number" message.

Working on a private project this afternoon so no stream unless I finish early. While this is understandably distressing I hope that this adorable picture of Ninja and Harper will soothe the ache.

A photo of two cats curled up together on a bed. One cat is mostly black with white markings (particularly around its face, whiskers, chest, and paws) and has a fluffy coat and tail. It’s facing the camera, looking relaxed with its eyes partially closed. The other cat, lying alongside the black-and-white one, is a light brown tabby with faint stripes and a leaner build; it rests its head comfortably against the black-and-white cat’s side. Both cats are resting on top of a blue blanket, with another lighter-colored blanket draped underneath. The overall scene conveys a cozy, affectionate moment between the two cats as they nap together.

I was wondering if we'd see an EO yesterday somehow adding Trump's name to President's day. Looks like I wasn't far off 🤢 Like most bills right now, the full text isn't publicly available yet, but I'm real curious to see what it actually says.

The chair of Trump's Intelligence Advisory Board. Why do people insist on believing proven known liars over people who have dedicated their lives to helping others (doctors, scientists, teachers, etc)? lawandcrime.com/high-profile...

A federal appeals court in Iowa handed Devin Nunes another loss in his defamation suit against journalist Ryan Lizza and Hearst Magazines over a 2018 Esquire article that said the Nunes family’s dairy farm knowingly employed undocumented immigrants after a lower court judge determined that the story was “substantially, objectively true.”

The "risk" score on slak.me is strictly a "can the president do this under the US constitution" check. I've been thinking about how to make a proper risk score for a while and I think I nearly have it.

Living in a purple state I often feel like the letters to my reps don't have much impact. I'm going to have to give this a shot.

If you live in a red state/red district and have never contacted your Republican reps before, now is a golden time to start. Y’all know liberal talking points won’t phase them, so you need to be calling/emailing and speaking their language. Demand to know why the Republicans are soft on crime with Trump pardoning the Jan 6ers. Demand to know why Republicans hate Christian values by their attacking the Catholic Church. Demand to know why your tax payer money is going to incarcerate illegal immigrants in prisons. Gulf of America? More like why not the Gulf of Lower Egg Prices?

Call them. Most importantly, speak their language.

Let me know if you need any modifications!

Zero surprise here, but posting so for posterity and clarity. Andy Biggs is 100% in support of eliminating the department of education under the guise of "states rights". It's hard to believe a guy as extreme as Andy can get elected in a swing state, but here we are.
