Shawn Mercy Quantum @smq.codes · 09/09/2026You say that, but I printed 60 or so of these enclosures for work using a 3D Chameleon "universal" color changer hooked up to an Ender 3. I had to write g-code from scratch to handle the color changes and still set an alarm to babysit the critical ones. It got the job done, but.... 110
Shawn Mercy Quantum @smq.codes · 01/09/2026What a hansome one! Our tuxedo boy is named Oreo. Names that reference black & white, classy or sharp dressing, or (esp. British) high society are all traditional. 010
Shawn Mercy Quantum @smq.codes · 08/08/2026Caught a gang of thieves in the act this morning. Enjoy your moldy bread, trash panda family. 120

Shawn Mercy Quantum @smq.codes · 21/06/2026Hmm. Is that actually a miss at mid throttle I'm hearing? Or maybe a small exhaust leak? Or maybe just the way a 50-year-old small block with dual exhaust normally sounds? Better stare at it some more. 140
Shawn Mercy Quantum @smq.codes · 07/06/2026Chat. I've finished my 40oz beer and the baseball game hasn't even started yet: am I doomed? 000
Shawn Mercy Quantum @smq.codes · 25/05/2026With my boys home from school in a week and at loose ends all day, I'm offering them a time machine back to 1990. Games count as screen time; BASIC doesn't 🙂 010
Shawn Mercy Quantum @smq.codes · 22/05/2026Ooh, look what just showed up on my doorstep thanks to @greenroninpub.bsky.social 's collab with @nkjemisin.bsky.social ! 010
Shawn Mercy Quantum @smq.codes · 13/05/2026I've said things in person but maybe not on here, so let me correct that now: This language targeting trans people and their supporters is dehumanizing, fascist, and unacceptable. I stand proudly with my trans siblings and if that makes me a terrorist in the eyes of this government so be it. 130
Shawn Mercy Quantum @smq.codes · 06/05/2026Forgive my crude drawing. Couple short lengths of 4x4. Chain of appropriate working load. Screw the chain in place so it doesn't slip off the ends. Attach the bottom 4x4 firmly to a surface (so that operating the jack doesn't torque the assembly apart.) Stand off the the side in case of failure. 000
Shawn Mercy Quantum @smq.codes · 28/04/2026Without downloading anything new, where are you mentally? 071
Shawn Mercy Quantum @smq.codes · 19/04/2026Goodbye for now, Manhattan; I've enjoyed your parks and tall buildings! (Especially now that the sun is making an appearance. ) 030
Shawn Mercy Quantum @smq.codes · 19/04/2026The most fancy-ass Home Depot you'll ever see. (23rd between 5th Ave. and the Avenue of the Americas) 030
Shawn Mercy Quantum @smq.codes · 19/04/2026Lego Store! Lego McLaren F1 car! This store is much larger than the one in the mall back home and has better prices, especially on big kits! 030
Shawn Mercy Quantum @smq.codes · 19/04/2026Looking uptown from the Flatiron building. Nothing specific in the shot I just liked the feel of it. 140
Shawn Mercy Quantum @smq.codes · 19/04/2026Proof that I met @alepresser.com ! (I also met @kbspangler.com who.is just out of frame to the left, but she prefers not to be tagged in photos so y'all will just have to catch her yourselves sometime.) 160
Shawn Mercy Quantum @smq.codes · 19/04/2026I haven't been to NYC since the September 11 attacks, and was only here a few times before, but that was still enough to find this view from Washington Square Park ... disquieting. 010
Shawn Mercy Quantum @smq.codes · 19/04/2026Manhattan i am in you this grey and slightly-drizzly morning! Now to kill a few hours before the main event. 030
Shawn Mercy Quantum @smq.codes · 08/04/2026@genuscorvidae.bsky.social met some handsome friends of yours in Great Smokey Mountain National Park today! This fellow came up to see if we had any treats before heading off to his lookout tree. 131

Shawn Mercy Quantum @smq.codes · 28/03/2026I am so weary of leaders who think bullying is strength, that liberty is the freedom to abuse others, that diversity is weakness, that compassion is for loosers. I HATE it. No king. No ICE. No war. 010
Shawn Mercy Quantum @smq.codes · 27/03/2026TFW you stare into the sink so long that the sink stares back 030
Shawn Mercy Quantum @smq.codes · 19/03/2026Half of a shredded chicken wet burrito from the little authentic Mexican place around the corner from me! Much yum! 010

Shawn Mercy Quantum @smq.codes · 22/12/2025Oreo is absolutely obsessed with this condensate pump. Every time I go to the basement he follows me down then goes and stares back and forth between it and me as if to say "do you see this thing?!" 🤣 140

Shawn Mercy Quantum @smq.codes · 07/11/2025"I saw someone call generative AI a Thneed. [...] It's a PERFECT analogy. The Thneed was an all-purpose tool that didn't do anything really useful. It was a fad that did major damage to the environment to make the Onceler a billionaire. It left no real lasting impact, only damage." --BrainsandSpoons 021
