The new dice bags are here! This time with lining 😊 paolaspixels.com/collections/...

Of all the times over the last three years that my phone has left my presence; this is the first time it was pick-pocketed. Usually, I just leave it places.

Once again:

Did some financial moving around. Earlier, I have to finance a loan for an AC system. 12.99%, 12,000. And the remainder of my student loan is 14.5% And I had to pay for a medical thing. New loan: 5.41%. In my excitement to pay those things, I miscalculated and overdrew my account. Credit loan time.

Wisdom of the Day: Do not mistake the map for the land. There is how you are told things are, then there is how things are really. Or even how One thinks things are, then how they actually are when One gets there.

While going over some of the stuff from storage, I found... Things.

Had fun emptying 2 of three storage units "for reasons". Altogether, moved about 1700 pounds of books, furniture, paper and stuff twice. (Storage > van > destination) Saving $200 a month now. I found my D&D miniatures from... 1986!!! With the First Dice! But, damn: arm bruises!

Cause, you know. MY town.

Well. That was unexpected. Took my Mom's dog in for a grooming and got a call that they had to put the dog down. Granted, the dog was 16 1/2 and failing health. But that was sudden-ish.

I have been told by more than one patron that they hung these above their guest bathrooms for when company is over.... ko-fi.com/builtbybittl... #Skyrim #nerd #woodworking #homedecor

I don't know why, but I just can't get into the Michael Moorcock Elric series. I have tried multiple times in different decades, but after the first few sentences, I just put it down and go away.

So I was at work, walking my stations and randomly folding #origami when I accidentally taught myself how to make Hands. This is 3x5 thermal receipt paper and a 4x4 washi.

Indeed I do.

Hey #origami : What do you do when you are following a folding pattern, but early on, it gets a part/fold location wrong? If you wanna look it up: Satoshi Kamiya, The Yellow Bird, step 8.

This is great!

I tried watching America's Culinary Cup. I like that it was high end, real big chefs, no Ramsay fight anxiety triggering drama. BUT: You have these super chefs. I wanted to see technique and skills, not anticipation pauses and drama backstabbing. I wanted to learn some cooking.

One cool thing about #origami is that when you are stuck waiting someplace, you can break out paper and fold. There is a Robert Lang spider that takes me an hour and a half. So last night, when I was standing in line for GA to be let in, I folded a spider. it REALLY helps pass the time.

I now have one piece of #origami I folded unofficially in an art museum placed there by an employee of the museum. A black paper dragonfly. Officially Unofficial.

I'm partially collarblind, so this is weird.

If I see you using AI, I will block you, even if I like you. There is ZERO reason to use AI with your #origami. ZERO! You are just looking for the likes with out ANY talent! Do the work!

A coworker has requested a loach fish as an #origami. I can't find a folding pattern, so I'm going to have to invent one. I already have a couple ideas.

I have already pledged. I wanna see this as I am a pre-subscription FF fan.

My wife is suggesting I make a new account and document my #Origami learning as it happens. Whaddo you think? An account separate from my off topic ramblings and stuff? I thought of A Josh Two-folds.

Ooo!

I saw someone challenge to make a smaller #origami crane than they did. Now: making to with fingers only rather than with tools should be two different categories. This is a crane I just made with a 1cm square and no tools.

Okay, if you are at ECCC and you love rpgs you NEED THIS BOOK i judt bought from @oheysteenz.bsky.social at booth M-3 in Artists Alley! Steenz is BRILLIANT and this was an instant buy for me!

Ooo!

Strong recommend if you are interested in cosmology. The videos are succinct – most around 6 minutes long – and the explanations are satisfying. Same goes for the "Quantum 101" videos.

Isn't he already blocked because its in the Constitution? "We are going to try to block him from doing that he's already doing because he isn't supposed to be doing it." Are you mad? Even f it passed, he'd still do it because you won't actually STOP him. And he's betting on that.

I've been REALLY going down the wormhole of Origami. My feed on one account is now in japanese. I own about 15 or so books in it, 2000 sheets of various papers, memorized about 16 different folds from simple to advanced.
