That’s the thing. On one hand I like not being bombarded by the shit opinions but on the other I like being informed at what the talking points are (to a degree) because I find that keeps me sharp against the opposition. When I read or hear about conservative viewpoints, I only think about how obtuse the logic is so it’s not something I worry at all about affecting my mindspace so this might not be a solution to everyone.

I’m still torn on the topic since it’s nice to not give a platform to obviously shit ideals since that’s how the misinformation spreads but I still wonder if there’s an even better protocol out there we haven’t been able to even comprehend yet.

Same experience with my printer! Gave me some motivation to finish off some of the projects I’ve disregarded since there’s some new shiny light to it. The printer has been going non-stop (while it’s not needing to be maintained) and I’ve made enclosures, costumes, frames, and molds that got me back into programming, crafting, painting, and masonry. Glad to have such split attention sometimes, lol.

Bookmarked in case of deep inspiration, thank you!

Goddammit, now I need to change my fkn VPN, too

Jesus, it’s so inconsistent. I suppose that may be beneficial when looking at all of your folders at a bird’s eye view but my knee jerk reaction isn’t the most positive.

Hell yeah, I’ve been making G&Ts for my quick mixer over the past few years - it’s so good. That Earl Grey cocktail sounds absolutely divine for the last bit of warm weather we have here, thank you!

Yes! Your knowledge will last and it’s insane how many hobbies have coinciding skills. Keeping it fresh allows me to stay motivated and as long as I’m doing something, I couldn’t care less if it’s painting or soldering or whateverthefuckelse at that moment :D

What’s been your favorite cocktail as of recently to have on a normal night?

How was that a decision not fueled by pure desperation? Who advised this beyond the consulting group that was previously working with Morgan Stanley? Oh my god

That sounds incredibly trippy to see in theaters at 6-7. Kinda jealous of your story!

I find it’s going to need to get even more convenient for the general public to be interested in it. Federation almost needs to be a ‘background’ process that the end user doesn’t really need to deal with. Otherwise, it’ll be a little too complicated or obscure to comprehend for most. I know it isn’t rocket science but we’re talking about the general public, here.

Gonna think of this term every time I listen to sun ra

Really, really depends on your option on a lot of things to consider that one.

Awesome, that’s so cute! Hopefully you get some really tasty cukes to go with the harvest! I’m sure the setup will treat it well

Is the gourd there to help fertilize/germinate the cannabis or is it for a snack while you get baked? Sorry, I haven’t seen those grown together ever!

Espresso powder definitely has a better coffee flavor and I’d use that if allowed but instant still works well for quick work and light flavors. Always have some on hand for camping :)

Not them but adding it to cakes, cookies, macrons, etc like cocoa powder does the job wonderfully in my cases.

Eh, partially agreed but Adobe does have a stranglehold on the market due to proprietary encoding. The world still runs on their licensed filetypes and that’s a big hurdle for FOSS to overcome. A paradigm shift could happen but a lot is stacked up against it for now. Certainly not an issue that’s unable to be solved but we need some seriously clever minds dedicated to the problem.

Been working on a personal project to display my Spotify playing info onto a LED matrix display (with lots of visual goodies) and allow for physical buttons to control playback, lookup the artist on Wikipedia, open their bandcamp profile, and eventually to find what songs they do not have on Spotify.

It’s still in its infancy but it’s allowing me to work on blending software, hardware, and design all together in a fun, interactive way.

I don’t have a TV in my living room but listen to music 24/7 and my wife would like a way to see what weird shit we’re listening to.
