Took blood, sweat & gears.

Well, premium brushless motors, actually.

It's coming to light.

LLMs are always right bc they're only ever exposed to the truth online.

@potterlab Don't take it personally, it was prolly another self-hating foot fetishist.

Today, on the 250th anniversary of the USA, I learned that Saudi Arabia has its own version of the The Office.

It's a replica of the US show, not the UK one, down to the set design and storylines.

Now that's winning.

Envy has really revitalized its Q score since it rebranded.

Finally received a bonanza of parts for various projects and it's unlocking everything and it's awesome!

How have I worked in robotics and CS for so long, and only now heard that the back-and-forth (lawnmower) pattern of coverage path planning is called "Boustrophedon"?

Apparently examples of writing like this have been found throughout history.

As a person who grew up in Canada, I never, ever said "hoser" even once — other than to make Americans chuckle at a cliché. Never heard anyone say it sincerely either.

But pretty much everything on Letterkenny is culturally dead on.

@evanbuhler Use it as a motivator.

Having hindsight makes life enduringly easier.

Getting hindsight makes life temporarily harder.

Postprocessing 3D prints like a dawg.

Played a song as a gag for a passenger in my car...

Now Spotify seems to think I'm the world's biggest Scatman John enthusiast.

Had a persistent issue with a company's robotic hardware protocol. Coped with it for months.

Finally decided to reverse engineer their protocol and make an interface that actually works.

Normally tedious, but fast & easy with an LLM. Makes a great debug option more accessible.

Oh it's nothing.

I regret to inform you that you have not been monitoring the situation on the web with sufficient deftness.

There is a mythical demon in Judaism named Keṭeb Meriri (קטב מרירי). His name means "bitter destruction." His body is covered in fur and eyes. He has no shadow.

I'm finding lots of cultures have their own badass mythical creatures that play on themes of eyes and light.

Say what you will, but she got gold in the ol' meme pics.

Had a games night with normie friends and was reminded how far removed the X/tech/startup world is from the mainstream.

The common ground is talking about how much we're each cooking.
