Internet Roadtrip is my favorite thing on the internet right now—it’s basically Twitch Plays Google Street View. They started in Boston, spent several weeks on a quest to cross the Canadian border, and are now exploring New Brunswick. neal.fun/internet-roa...
It's awesome that #RepRap is still going strong, and still a force for good in the world!

Hello!
For the last 6 or so months I have been working on improving the user experience with plastic spools, reusable spools, and refills.
My solution was to design a reusable 100% metal spool.
I have called the project DryAF.

A screenshot of PayPal's terms of service. Big wall of legalese text, which I will be pasting in below. You don't need to read it, here's the important part: "The key update to the Privacy Statement explains how we will share information with merchants to personalize your shopping experience and recommend our services to you. Personal information we disclose includes, for example, products, preferences, sizes, and styles we think you’ll like. Information gathered about you after the effective date of our updated Privacy Statement, November 27, 2024, will be shared with participating stores where you shop." Here's the whole paragraph: We are updating our Privacy Statement to explain how, starting early Summer 2025, we will share information to help improve your shopping experience and make it more personalized for you. The key update to the Privacy Statement explains how we will share information with merchants to personalize your shopping experience and recommend our services to you. Personal information we disclose includes, for example, products, preferences, sizes, and styles we think you’ll like. Information gathered about you after the effective date of our updated Privacy Statement, November 27, 2024, will be shared with participating stores where you shop, unless you live in California, North Dakota, or Vermont. For PayPal customers in California, North Dakota, or Vermont, we’ll only share your information with those merchants if you tell us to do so. No matter where you live, you’ll always be able to exercise your right to opt out of this data sharing by updating your preference settings in your account under “Data and Privacy.”
In 2025 (less than 30 days away), PayPal will start selling your transaction history for targeted advertising.
I very highly recommend logging into your account and going to Settings > Data & Privacy > Personalized Shopping.
If you're reading this, turn that off RIGHT NOW before you forget.
Cool, see you there!
Also Welcome!
Although it gets a lot of bad press (from Londoners who need to use it all the time mostly), London's network of tubes, trains, buses etc is _so good_ when compared to most other places I have been to.
