@ancient_james Fascinating project! Love to write it up for @hackaday -- any build info (schematic, BOM, etc.) would be much appreciated. Thanks!

@idlehandsdev @witnessmenow I had a lawn service guy stop by the house trying to sell me his services, explaining to me that "clover is bad for your lawn." I said, "If fixing atmospheric nitrogen and attracting pollinators are bad, I don't want to be good."

@hackaday Cool, we're actually having @botzendesign Eric Strebel on the Hack Chat on Sept 8 to talk about industrial design. Should be a fun one!

[Dan Maloney @DPMHackaday]

@CNC_Kitchen Cool, I have a Cetus that has been sitting idle since I converted to Linux. Might be nice to rework the machine so I can run it again.

[Dan Maloney @DPMHackaday]

@witnessmenow For me, the lesson that was seared into me -- literally -- was not to reach for the iron without looking. I was about 12 when I permanently altered my left thumbprint by doing so. I could actually feel my thumb melting around the tip. Smelled just like you'd imagine too.

[Dan Maloney @DPMHackaday]

@UsagiElectric Well, that's because you have a robot making your PCBs, while your assembly is still stuck in meatspace. Time to up your game and Elon yourself an anthropomorphic helper. Or, you know, build a pick and place.

@OpenInsulin - I'd love to talk to someone there about doing a #HackChat re: open-source insulin. DM me or [email protected]

@JeremySCook 4Runner, Gen 3. It was a stretch to afford at the time, but I learned "buy once, cry once" a while ago, and it has paid off in buckets.

Sending my son off to college in the same car he came home from the hospital in when he was born. That's got to be some kind of achievement unlocked.

[Dan Maloney @DPMHackaday]

@JeremySCook Amazing vehicle. Been keeping that thing going since 1997 with little more than gas and oil changes and tires. Think I put in a starter once, just replaced an original shock, did the timing belt a couple years ago, and replaced a rusty bumper - thanks New England

[Dan Maloney @DPMHackaday]

@idlehandsdev Right? It's surprisingly easy to get the fire department called on you for something like that.

[Dan Maloney @DPMHackaday]

@idlehandsdev I cannot overstate the amount of dust this will generate. We used one to enlarge a window opening to a door opening in a 10" thick foundation wall, and it was impossible to see after about the first 5 seconds. Be prepared.

First day of vacation is going great so far...

[Dan Maloney @DPMHackaday]

Hey @adafruit - am I doing this right?

[Dan Maloney @DPMHackaday]

@hackaday We also had Seth on for a #HackChat. He's had an interesting career, and we had a great time discussing it: https://t.co/coXh1nsTku

[Dan Maloney @DPMHackaday]

@hackaday How have we gotten this far without someone stating the obvious:

"Should have used a 555."

[Dan Maloney @DPMHackaday]

@BenKrasnow @FutureJurvetson Just finished reading Mike Collins' book "Carrying the Fire", and he said the hydrogen bubbles dissolved in the potable water produced by fuel cells made for a very "aromatic" atmosphere in the command module. So you'll have that to look forward to.
