@george I think it was this one, a KingSmith WalkingPad A1 Pro. Kind of a random manufacturer, but my wife's had the same one for most of this year and been putting like 15-30k steps on it every week day

@jalefkowit He looks like he's stared at the Dark Crystal for too long and started letting the Skeksis drain his essence
@jpf Yeah, there are some generous tolerances build into our system
@maddiefuzz I always thought it was a super wasted callback not to have actually made Nick Locarno the guy who got sprung from jail and sent away on Voyager
D'oh: My filament spools are too beefy for the airtight cereal bins I bought. Maybe I'll have to fill them with cereal. :sadcowblob:
@socketwench I've never seen The Hurt Locker but I've rewatched Strange Days at least 7 times, a couple times in the theater back when it came out
@twipped Maybe? I've never had one... do they light up and make noise?
@twipped I'm a bit meh on how Apple & spendy they are, but I could see how they'd work for this. I'd want a dozen or two to throw into bins around the basement & attic & shop, associate them with descriptions of bin contents for text search
@twipped Yeah, I definitely have no idea. Was thinking it could be $5-10 each, but the cost would probably run up fast
@twipped Of course, the real problem is not the lil gadget but data entry to record all the crap I have in bins. But we can just handwave that away and never actually really do the project 😅
Just tried to give Catsby a pill and absolutely rolled a 1 for a critical fail. Ended up dropping the pill down a furnace vent and one of my slippers came off and tumbled down a flight of stairs. I don't even know where Catsby ended up.
"don't speak ill of the dead"
why not? they're dead and the living need to hear it.
@ArpComics We've had some mixed success with pill pockets, alas. Some pills are super bitter and either they manage to separate the pill from the pocket in their mouths and spit it out or they start foaming at the mouth from the taste.
My strategy has evolved into a modified Hercules head-grab and a pill-popper pushed over the back of the tongue for success like 80% of the time. Bonus success modifiers if I can catch them napping
@maddiefuzz @ArpComics Oh, yeah no, we've hosted 5 cats so far over time and none of them have been copacetic with pills or medication
Starting baby's first 9 hour 3D print. 🤞 big bucks no spaghetti big bucks no spaghetti print!
Also realized that the 2kg spool of PLA that I bought along with the printer absolutely DOES NOT fit on the spool holder that came with the printer. Is a big beefy boy. Learning every day
@0x4d6165 some might say that's the same for nearly all of "magic" 🤔
Realized over drinks with my wife last night that I'm about to start collecting spools of 3D filament the way she collects bundles of yarn. Pretty obvious in retrospect but kinda hilarious
(also kinda made me want to pick up knitting too, because she's got some pretty rad yarn)
@randomgeek I've been there (stares off into space for awhile)
@stevetex dang, that's amazing!
@randomgeek Lot of things like that seem to complete... eventually? But yeah, sigh
@TheDarkHorse Uh huh! uh huh!
@elithebearded @scruss oof, yeah, I feel like this Prusa MK4 printer is a bit scruffier and DIY than some other models (like from Bambu) but I liked that I could assemble & understand & fix it going forward
@ArpComics @maddiefuzz Yeah, my strategy so far has been to be sneaky, firm, and direct so that hopefully it's over & done before they realize it happened. The longer the wrestling happens, the more it turns into stress & trauma.
Doesn't always work, though, because they've lived with me long enough to read my body language if I'm not careful. Smart lil critters 😅
CYABRFCUCK?
Also looks like there's a KKK hanging out in there, which is "fun"
In any case, the truck sure is "edgy" - insofar as it's low-poly and has a lot of edges?
@thomasfuchs I think that's my router password (oh wait)
Belated RIP for Geordie, the guitarist from Killing Joke.
Oh, sing a song of joy
Sweet childhood, never desert me
Time for celebration, Oh!
Overcome with a sense of elation
I'll never let you get to me
Survival is my victory
Time for celebration, Oh!
Overcome with a sense of elation
Pretty great music set here in tribute.

My Spotify Wrapped is really scant, this year, because I all but abandoned it for music back around the start of the panini. I went from 10-50k listens to just under 1000 this year.
I kind of miss it because it was kind of interesting data on moods & happenings from the past year. These days I mostly listen to stuff from my home NAS, along with DJ sets on Twitch and Mixcloud.
Still, this mostly tracks...
@evan Time for the Crab Rave
@squeevening oh boy, I've had two of those and have been putting off a third. i, too, do not enjoy the salt drank
