you know your Bluey colouring-in is cursed (or just Powerful) when friendoes need to move it out from the room where they're going to sleep

Revolution Calling 📞 💥 💉

Also got a clock. Needs some work. Have already got it at least RUNNING, though far from accurately.

Good haul from today's local Antiques/Collectibles auction house!

Bought a wood lathe, made a bowl Because like the old saying goes, anything is a bowl if you lathe enough

Rapidly approaching the stage of life where I'm ready to actively 'disable' the screens and speakers that play ads at you while filling up the car at the petrol station

One of Jax's workmates wanted a 3d printed bouncy turtle that he keeps on his desk. The original one was not too long after I first got my printer, so it's exactly per the model. This do-over I stepped up my game a bit. Didn't optimise for colour efficiency so that's 400g of purge waste. Worth it.

it's a meme that all network issues ultimately end up being DNS I would like to add a significant caveat: Windows is equally culpable. Fuck it and its unpredictability. I don't use it predominantly ~*these days*~ but it still constantly finds a way to fuck me in the varyingly inconvenient ways

Finished a nightstand that I've been building for @diapjock.bsky.social (just in time for Christmas!) Few last minute design changes but generally worked out alright. Selection of hardwoods and veneers to achieve 'a bit of everything' of wood character. Hardwax oil finish.

Christmas party/lunch at a Normie friend's place tomorrow and they're having a White Elephant Secret Santa. I am not the festive type so I had no idea what the hell a WESS was In any case, gifting this glass octopus and I frankly want one for myself too

playing on my switch(es) during work hours

Currently Spinning: Rock and/or roll

Local cafe keeping their reading material up to date

I personally would have also included helmets if they want to market this product on safety, but most of the e-bike riders here are already afflicted by brain damage so whatev

Hellll yeah new kicks! Love 'em already! @v-art.co.uk

The best thing about Black Friday is all the promotional SMS messages coming through that let me unsubscribe from their marketings

Quality time spent rearranging/reorganising/clearing out the workshop so the garage can actually be used to store a second car! Super handy because thunderstorms are wild here at the moment, lots of short notice hail and wild weather

Bolognese (when paired with SPAGHETT, but perhaps not exclusively) benefits massively when a bit (to a 'medium' level of the eater's tolerance) of chilli spice is added I will not be swayed on this and anyone who disagrees is objectively, fundamentally, and morally wrong

Currently Spinning (rapidly) Still the best sounding/mixed/mastered Dolby Atmos album that I've heard. Very satisfying, very enjoyable

NSW Police once again satisfying their fetishistic power-hunger for sadistic incapacitation of elderly persons suffering from dementia

My first competely hand-tool-hand-made drawer for woodworking things and such, per the requirement for any woodworking person ever Not the best and not the flashiest but it's the first and it'll last forever and I shall keep it until the shuffle off this mortal coil

Fusion360 finally includes a Dark theme and turns out it's fuckin horrific

should i design & build a fucking machine y/y

My X1C printer has nearly hit the 1000hr print time. Zero part replacements! H2D at 600hrs. One bowden coupler on the extruder idler assembly just failed, disappointly not in a repairable manner. $40 replacement assembly (OEM) which is not too bad. Probably available for cents if I looked properly.

every now and then I decide to use epilatory/hair removal cream and every single goddang time I regret it Really dislike waiting for skin to become happy again and not looking like I've got leprosy or something equally heinous

Upgraded the 3d printing area with some 3d printed bits! Under desk shelf extremely handy here, far better than the mess it was before. The leg clamps didn't clamp strongly enough without pulling out the threaded inserts so added the accidentally-corinthian-esque middle legs

another animal to the menagerie My first attempt at framing leaves a few things to be desired... Lessons learnt, better luck next time!

Absolutely mindblowing cake (everything ever is cake) organised by @diapjock.bsky.social this weekend ♥️

Nice bit of hail

When even making the bed is dangerous

little guy rescued from the cat

Spooky

I thought the complete absence of food culture in this suburban hell was the worst part. NOPE Maybe it's the gutter scum trash loudly cursing at/verbally abusing their idiot children? WRONG It's that every fucking yuppie cunt family here has a small yappydog barking incessantly. Can't escape it.

Ah well, it lived. Mini PC (for rendering/modelling) is complete. Have this guy running Windows since full-time freeing myself from the shackles of Microsoft on my main/daily PC.

Ah yep this seems like a suitable way to send a graphics card through the postal system, fantastic

Chose some vape fluid in my latest order with the specific desire to have a tobacco flavoured one that doesn't have the sweeteners or sugary aftertast etc Yeah, it's certainly that. Tastes like an old ash tray. Foul.

Prada (the dumber of the two cats) has come to quite enjoy being in her Orange

Still one of the best album covers ever and this record still sounding as good as it would have in 1971

Currently Spinning Really an extremely good recording of extremely good acoustic reimaginings of their more significant tracks

Exciting times

Quick ABS reproduction of an old bakelite selector knob. Not quite perfect but after a few coats of paint it'll look the part.

dog days

Not these three, they're far too small

If he fits (mostly) he sits (extremely)

Very Important Volvo Mods (VIVM)

The graphic designer on this Safety Instruction Card really got those "can't be fucked" vibes towards the end of this job

May have just organised for purchase of a new (to me) car (with assistance ty @diapjock.bsky.social!) - 2022 Volvo S60 with the Very Important B&W audio system - these things sound gooooooood Picking up Sat morning from interstate and roadtripping back

Chicken Kiev recipe: "2 garlic cloves" Yeah look we're going to need to multiply that some

at least they're accurate about how uber eats drivers deliver drinks
