I made a supply base in No Man’s Sky. Fish and wildlife, antimatter generators, cargo boxes galore, plenty of plants, including a significant number of ‘special’ plants (use the teleporters to find both areas), storage.. just plenty to explore. Please let me know if you visit and if you like it

I feel like my little jigsaw puzzle projects are dumb. But I still enjoy doing them. This one has a healthy application of glitter, a couple of clear coats, a touch of iridescent spray in a couple of spots, and another clear coat over it all. Got some adhesive pictures hangers today, and now it’s up

Nothing they can come up with will beat my nutrition and meal-planning system. And I literally just took this picture - this is a thing that I have

I tried to go light with the glitter but the super fine stuff just leaps out of the container. Sprayed adhesive, sprinkled a few different colors of glitter, then hit with a light top coat of clear gloss. Gonna let it dry for a day or two then do another coat of clear to really lock it in.

I’m partial to Field Notes, which are nearly the same size as that other brand.

Nine Field Notes notebooks damned out on a watery blue fabric. Arranged in a fan, reflective silver cover with an orange spine. Green, campfires bright yellow, a frest scene, black, light blue, brown, and a metallic blue

50-piece Star Wars puzzle. Glued a piece of poster board to the back. Once it dries I’ll mod podge the front and hang it somewhere. More in the alt text

50-piece Star Wars jigsaw puzzle featuring Darth Vader and his lightsaber. Art drawn in a colorful style with red and green and orange and purple, the lightsaber reflecting off his helmet. Next to the puzzle is a small metal tin that the puzzle was packed in. $5 well spent, imo

This is sad. My grandfather and my uncle (one of his sons) were stained glass artisans for many years here in Indiana. This lamp my uncle made for us as a wedding gift is very likely made with glass from Kokomo.

Using a Kodak Charmera I took photos of my pour over coffee/genmaicha this morning. So blurry. It’s really much better for big landscape or street scene shots

In case they aren’t Nazi enough, they’re also 100% Imperial officers inspired. Look at the fucking boots. Only fascists wear these!

Instead of buying a Switch 2 or spending money on the next big thing on Steam, I’m going full retro. You can install retro emulators on basically anything at this point, and the catalog is deep. I’ve got a ridiculous collection of games on this, my iPad, AppleTV, and a PC. Fuck AI.

I did the full test. My answer for the ‘most telling answer’ was ambiguous for me. Changing that answer didn’t affect the map. Best I can figure is a couple years in California when I was 19-20 and 14 years in Maryland affected things

This post is literally the perfect argument for “AI shouldn’t be allowed to make any decisions.” But hailey isn’t ready for that, hence the replies and quotes are disabled

Bsky post from Bailey that reads:

bsky isnt ready for this but, if you need a reason to not use words like "clanker" that isn't
"well its kinda not a great thing to do" (it isn't) imagine this:

If I had known when I paid the deposit that they were using a dumbass robot to handle their business, I would have gone with another company. The human salesperson that came to the house and the human installer that did the work did just fine. But I won’t call them back for repairs or maintenance.

Texts between a robot and me:

🤖 : Hi Kevin, it's Amanda with Garage Door Doctor. We never got the opportunity to discuss your estimate.
Where are you at with that project? Reply END to stop texts.

Today 14:55
Me, a human: Wow. Well, for $2400 you already did the job, so... uh. I no longer need a new door?

🤖 : Thanks for letting us know. We'd appreciate the opportunity to earn your business-please let us know if we can ever be of assistance in the future.

Me, still human, just exasperated : Y'all need to fix your robot.
