People complain about the acting in season 3 of Reacher being bad. (It is) But I'd like to see something a little more realistic. Bland acting is fine. I just want to see Reacher wake up every morning at 4:00 am, and spend 5 hours working out. Finding cooking and eating 5000 cal of chicken breast...

So I am watching random Canadian sci-fi movie. Looking up all the actors I recognize. Now I am wondering, is there a compulsory 18 month term every Canadian has to serve as a sci-fi actor?

Being around groups of "Older people" over the last few months. I've determined that it would be the best for society if we aired PSAs during NCIS (and other shows of the kind) that would help with cell phone etiquette. We could cover such topics as:

Weekend #cncwoodworking project. Found a use for that tiny toolbox that Harbor Freight sells. It's now My #3dprinting tool box. I cut an insert for the common parts with my CNC machine. Just because I thought it looked neat. I'm sure the other two drawers will fill up soon.

Got my Bambu A1 working with #homeassistant this weekend. Added an extra camera and made the whole thing accessible externally with tailscale. No more need for a Bambu Cloud connection. LAN mode only.

Watched the original Scream last night, and the original Crow the night before. Gotta say, Scream held up a lot better than The Crow. As much as The Crow holds a special place in my heart, the acting... Yikes.

Weekend project. I Made a small router table because I am working on a project where I am milling a bunch of small slats. Also for some reason, I have gone this far in life without having a proper router table. This will do until I do a proper one in my table saw extension.

We were seeing a 98% drop in exposure over on Twitter. The censorship was so extreme we thought it best to start over somewhere else. We chose Bluesky. Help us gain our following back Follow Retweet Repeat Join the park side @altyellonatpark.org

At some point in the near future, we are going to have read sooo much #ChatGPT written stuff, that we are going to accidentally start writing like it. It's going to become OUR training data... 🤔

I asked #chatgpt what pin to use to connect a clip-on current sensing transformer to my #esp32. It told me, but also offered to make a circuit diagram. Out of curiosity, I asked: #makerspace #homeassistant

Googling Stuff: Then v Now.

This title if the comic is ‘Googling Stuff…’
The comic shows two columns: on the left is “Then” showing search results with one thing listed as “the thing you want”

On the right column is ‘Now’ - also showing search results but in this case it’s a whole bunch of stuff you don’t need:

Does "sharing" to #bluesky work for anyone else? I have to copy/paste anything I want to share from a webpage. (On android)

#bluesky needs to enable good two factor auth. An authenticator app or yubi key preferred.

Art class should never stop being a thing. Like if right after lunch we all got to go down to the basement for an hour, throw on a smock, and make collages out of old magazines while somebody's eccentric, slightly witchy aunt tells us how great we're doing, I feel like we'd all be in a better place.
