Gotta say I need to train more for next year's Solstice, but I'm really glad I bought that pair of Brooks runners with the design by Lisa Congdon a couple of years ago! Stylish and comfortable.

AHHAHAHAAAAA! I was trying to find this thing the other week!!! I mis-remembered that it was a computer. HAHA YESSSS @ishotjr.bsky.social

While digging through my Game Boy carts last night I found what might be my favorite bootleg find. The title and label really capture what I love about unofficial releases.

Q from @jacobcoffinwrites.bsky.social , for a reference base for #solarpunk writers (wiki.slrpnk.net/writing:start) : In terms of longevity & repairability, does it make sense to favor through-soldered boards over SMT, for simpler machines/appliances – and where does that cut off practicality-wise?

Yesss! Got to see this one a couple months ago and it's EXCELLENT 🤩

Is there a site that lists ALL proper nouns in a #book? Like a fancier dramatis personae: people, places, institutions... foods? As a voracious consumer of #audiobooks, I end up looking for an ebook to scan by % read, or search a rare word, while avoiding spoilers. // #books #audiobook #BookSky

Last reskeet: incredible rant thread about Quality Street from someone who is preparing to experience it for the first time

i got influencered and i have ordered a box of "quality street" which i know only from christmas specials of teevee shows i like. i understand it is medium-grade assorted chocolates and one is called "the purple one" and everyone likes to discuss which one is best and they come in a reusable tin

I've been pretty quiet lately! Conference season pretty much wrapped up after the 16th, and I've continued the headlong #KiCad / #PCB design streak I started a couple months ago (including making a set of 25+ custom component footprints that I'll be personalizing over time). 🤩

Ooh, "sloppers" is much better than "clankers". Focuses on the actor (the user/peddler), and the undesirable action, rather than a vague class of tools. Also seems to avoid the weird slur-esque vibes (as in Cylon/toaster) (and I'm guessing this is part of the motivation)
