The castle and cathedral books (and corresponding vhs) was my childhood GoAT

I'm more likely to click on a video thumbnail that shows someone's AMT plastic model kit of the D hanging on a fishing wire. Anything but this.

I’m not watching the SOTU because I don’t want to take 1d12 necrotic damage every minute for 120 minutes (or more)

My only regret is not getting the full 12 month sub. Only 6 pairs for me :(

Acoustic panels are done and installed. The clouds made a big difference. Probably as good as it will sound with my super advanced mic setup (a single NT2 hanging from an xlr cable)

It's 2026. You are using a vibe-coded Microsoft Word with one (1) doc open, just text and no media. There is a "connected experiences" CoPilot process taking up 26.8 GB of memory and slowing your laptop to a crawl, and an un-closable AI summary taking up a chunk of your screen. WTF are we doing.

"iS tHeRe a tEcHnoLoGY tHe leFt Is eXcItEd aBoUt" yeah, renewable energy, mRNA vaccines. Lots of cool stuff like that! Probably not the one whose main promise was cutting payrolls

Cables = managed. Could use a few improvements like a clip to hold the right side of the lid down, but nothing worth a reprint imo

Wooden desk organizer repurposed into an airpods & device charging station. There is a mess of cords from the USB brick behind the station, just waiting to be organized.

Today's project: fixing the mess of usb cables at our airpods/device charging station (itself a repurposed desk organizer from ugmonk). Designed a cable box in Blender with a clamp to hold the usb power brick - we'll see how the print goes!

An extraordinary paragraph. buff.ly/uH5ykhX
The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesivebecause of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

This is so spot on

A yellow lab dog lays nestled in several pillows atop a bed. The dog looks sad due to the very scary noises of (very very slight) rain hitting the roof.

She retreats into the bedroom and attempts to create a pillow fort anytime there’s an audible hint of rain or wind hitting the roof.

Building acoustic panels for my (cinder block) basement so I can play drums without my ears bleeding. Printed a nifty corner clamp to help.

This sounds like iCIMS, the world’s worst ATS that I have to use daily that somehow has corporate adoption but feels like Squirrelmail on shared hosting in 2001

Our black cat had a phase (thankfully) where he would do this, except with such gusto that the food would fly everywhere as he scooped it out, creating abstract works of art on the floor and walls.

LOL, poor OP just wants to talk about a tv soap opera. Everyone in this thread should go volunteer or attend a protest and stop yelling at internet strangers. Hilarious thread though.

burn this into your memory:

iPhone users, you can disable Face ID and Touch ID by holding the wake button and either volume button simultaneously for two seconds. once the power off/emergency call screen appears, your password will be required to re-enable biometrics.

three stickers on a car. the first says "save the bees", the second says "share the road" with an illustration of a bicycle, and the third is a cool tattoo-style illustration that says "Fuck Ice Roll Dice" with a sword going through a d20.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics
