They could have saved even more by not putting batteries in them, or motors… Man, these things coulda had a way bigger profit margin!

Those look great. I’ll probably try that tomorrow!

Wow, never occurred to me before, but this is such an elegant, and simple solution.

I understand how you feel, but reading your story, I think when you were grabbing the product and telling him to “just drop it an leave” is what ended your career.

It sucks, you got attacked, but you don’t need to trade your personal safety for some store product.

Just based on this story here, where you are giving a very one sided view of the situation, you intentionally put yourself at risk and kept escalating. I hate that a criminal put you in a situation where you ended up getting fired, but there was more than one mistake here.

Nailed it right here. West was a perfectly good Batman for his time, but Keaton is fantastic and aged well. No one else comes close.

The cat physics are also outstanding. You can tell there were animators just sitting there studying how cats move for many, many hours.

Yeah, Stargate did it better, because kidnapped humans inhabiting the galaxy makes more sense. Solves the “everyone looks human” problem without the “we have proof of evolution here” problem.

Apps Only mode is a decent workaround… for now. https://support.google.com/googletv/answer/10070784?hl=en

Really cuts down on the amount of clutter and suggestions on the main screen.

If you have a CCwGTV, you should be using Apps Only mode. Sucks that Google hides this, because I’ve found that this is the best streaming device for my needs, but they just keep pushing ads like this. Makes me want to do a homebrew chromecast device.

But switching to Apps Only mode is a decent workaround… for now. https://support.google.com/googletv/answer/10070784?hl=en

Tung Oil finish is mostly just poly anyway, unless you go out of your way to specifically get pure tung oil.

So, the biggest tech of 2023 is a bunch of promises of things coming soon?

Doomerism is very in right now, but lots of things are getting better. It’s hard to see through all the social media, but if you curate your feeds to things like science and educational information, you can see all the wonderful things people are learning and making.

Sure, there are a lot of selfish, shitty people out there making a lot of noise, but in the background, there’s the same great people just chugging along making things better.

Just chug along with them and vote for the people that align with your values, and do the best you can.

Like Mr. Rogers used to say, when you see bad things happen, just look for the helpers. The first thing that always happens after a tragedy, is people line up to help. It’s our natural instinct.

Pretty neat idea, hopefully the equipment needed keeps getting smaller and cheaper.

Right now it doesn’t make a lot of sense except for larger, or shared maker type spaces.

I do the final proofing in the fridge, so I don’t take out the second one until the first is gone (usually two days.)

Sometimes the second is a little dryer than the first, but once it’s baked, it’s hard to tell there was any difference.

I wonder if a 6.5mm would be within tolerance to be compatible with 1/4" plugs.

Pretty sure the dev should be able to block these types of ads.

Damn, I need to try again on sourdough pizza crust. Last time I tried it, it wasn’t worth the effort.

Those look really good. Nice bake.

I typically make two loaves, but only bake one at a time so the second one doesn’t dry out. Do you normally eat both fast enough?

Because requiring blond hair and blue eyes would, by definition, exclude people based on race.

Just about any dog can do it, as long as you can find a good reward system for the dog. Mine loves playing fetch, so once we find the person we’re looking for, that person gives her lots of attention and fetch play.

It took a lot of work, and a lot of help from other people, but she’s really good at it now.
