@SymTrkl This is an amazing artifact
@enot @republic2809 Have you tried smearing some glue stick on the plate? I had to do that with a PEI plate as a release agent, but not with this satin powder-coated steel plate
Went for a walk through the park and there was an older couple in sweats vigorously salsa dancing with a boom box in the ground. Felt weird getting any pictures but that was rad.
@enot @republic2809 yeah, weirdly, it seems to adhere when it’s warm, then get hard and easier to detach when cool. Just like plain old craft store glue stick
@SymTrkl eh, I bet it was rad when you made it
@hotdogsladies He went to army!
Printed some stacking cups for the bunnies, they like to throw em around and hunt for treats hidden in them #3dprinting
It’s happening again, the oven has a software update. I swear to god if this thing ho-ho-ho’s…
Previously, last month, the oven updated just before Thanksgiving to GOBBLE
It's a good day when I wake up with Dragula by Rob Zombie stuck in my head
I swear, when Roko's Basilisk revivifies my dehydrated neural vector state, we'll bond over shared ire for GE's repugnant oven firmware updates
@registrert Delight in forced whimsy and inspirational landscape wallpapers!
substack; rss feeds
This seems relevant for today: Do you follow a few folks' newsletters on Substack? Do you only follow the free versions? Would you rather follow them as RSS feeds? Turns out you can do that, at least until or unless they shut this option down.
Here's a github gist with some copy-paste code which exports all your newsletter subscriptions as an OPML file of RSS feeds for import into the reader of your choice.

re: substack; rss feeds
Apropos of this, I just deleted my Substack account finally. I still follow a couple dozen newsletters in my RSS reader via the export I just downloaded with this script before deleting that account. It's a kind of unhappy compromise but 🤷♂️
re: substack; rss feeds
@risottobias Official statement that funding Nazi newsletters is good actually. Not really a surprise, but no longer ambiguous
Funny to realize that the Singularitarian, Ray Kurzweil, Nerd Rapture shit I favored back in my mid-20s turns out to be just another cult like Scientology, Objectivism, New Atheism, etal.
Main thing I favor these days, when I have the spoons to have a profound care at all, tends to be a mishmash of secular humanism and loosely wicca-flavored neo-paganism.
Huh, just had a store from which I ordered something a few years ago send me a promo email with subject line "Order #12353 is ready to ship."
That got me to open the email, semi-alarmed, since I had not in fact ordered anything from them. Haha, just kidding, the email said "But we are still waiting for yours. Take this gift from us!"
Instead, I unsubscribed and won't buy anything from them again. Assholes. Don't do that shit
Future religion where folks stop talking about God and start talking about the Algorithm in hushed tones accompanied with ritual gestures
"interacting with this post so the Algorithm blesses me with favor" except it's expressed with earnest belief
The Algorithm works in mysterious ways, so I'm going to like & subscribe just to cover my bases
@Luther Yeah, but also spread to Threads and other sites infused with the Algorithm
Sending DMs to minor celebrities like prayers to patron saints
@technoid_ You know, mead-making is a fun hobby to get into, you can even do it without being a nazi!
Felt a sudden strong nostalgic urge to re-install World of Warcraft, because there were a bunch of years there where I played one expansion or another around the holidays.
Just in time for all the Guild Wars 2 expansions to go on deep discount, so I'll probably buy those instead.
@mgdm Yeahhhh, it's kinda how the cryptocurrency folks took over the word "crypto" for awhile, "algorithm" has been taken over to refer to social media recommender systems in many venues :sadcowblob:
