I brought a 3.5” floppy disk into my lab. One of my interns said “oh cool, you 3D printed the save icon!” I spontaneously broke my hip.

Lately I have noticed that when you purchase a ticket you don’t get a static PDF/PNG anymore. Increasingly often, you get a .pkpass file, which is supposed to be opened in wallet apps (like Google Wallet or any 3rd-party). Since I don’t like to share information about the events I attend with […]

If the neighborhood has to listen to your dog bark, it can also listen to me play Killing in the Name Of out of my garage for the millionth time.

this is really good from Jill at Denver Streets Partnership. https://www.westword.com/opinion/sacrificing-convenience-for-safety-in-denver-40820375/ we’ve been designing streets for maximum driver throughput at the expense of everyone else since the 1940s. It’s time to acknowledge the hidden […]

3d printed alignment tools. I’m really glad i had an aluminum tool to use as a control though. I didn’t let some of these cool before removing from the build plate and it seems that affected measurements up to 1 degree off. This is .2 off the control. I’ll take […] [Original post on denvr.social]

This is how I feel about Firefox too. There's no alternative. No, really, Librewolf _is_ Firefox, who exactly do you think you're sticking it to? And Vivaldi is a proprietary browser built on Google's engine, you're sticking it to nobody but yourself. Oh, you're switching to Servo? Not this […]

I sanded down the trailing edges of the flat spots I made on my Corrado’s front tires when ABS was temporarily not working. I could still feel a small vibration at slow speeds, but shockingly the bad vibration on the highway is gone. I had to go to Ikea and also sold the poor Mini’s spare […]

Lets send my Senadora to DC. https://bsky.app/profile/senadorajulie.bsky.social/post/3m7huvaguf22h

This has an entirely different meaning and doesn’t come in a bottle if you’ve taken any electrical engineering courses. It helps make the following though. We never got to carve our pumpkins, so I used the guts […] [Original post on denvr.social]

Tin snips work way better to cut the backbone out of a turkey for spatchcocking than kitchen shears.

This $60 tool works probably just as well as the $300 Park Tool fork crown race puller

Do you already have an amp? I started with the now discontinued Boss Katana headphone amp that I can plug into studio monitors I have in my office. Eventually I'll get a big-person amp head and cabinet.

Should we start referring to ICE and CBP as the "brute squad", or is that inconceivable? (If my nomenclature is adopted, I think that that makes Stephen Miller a rodent of unusual size.)

Funny moment at Denver Tool Library’s Repair Fair: Someone was giving an impromptu lesson in wheel truing. They said, “You always want to tighten nipples” A lesbian volunteer commented, “Life lessons”. I burst out laughing then she said, “I participate in all the gay sports.”

The fan in my mini server rack started failing and one of the screws didn’t want to come out. I got to use this screw gauge to figure out the correct replacement. My grandfather was a foreman at Inland Steel and I inherited some of his personal tools. He passed […] [Original post on denvr.social]

I made a thing for my 3’ flag. This is just a first attempt. I wasn’t even sure if 25% infill would be strong enough. It’s orange because that’s what I already had loaded in my printer.

This is a scorching article on the absolute state of The New York Times, and much of the rest of the media. Not just the billionaire media, note, but also the billionaire-*compliant* media, which both-sides every issue with purchased junktank talking points. lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

How cool is this? I got a replacement lock cylinder and hardware kit off ebay for my prewar Schwinn and it seems to fit. I still have to get the pin out that holds the cylinder sleeve. #locksport

Gonna party like it’s 2019

Yes, I put on spandex and rode the bike that has some carbon parts today. It was too nice outside. But, I also did this. A headset wasn’t actually hard to find and I got it pretty quick.

My next, next project purchased at Veloswap. A 1926 Schwinn Excelsior. I’m going to try to put a middrive motor in this. I already found the locking headset hardware on ebay.

Folding 3 foot flag installed. Try to close pass me now fuckers.

I love reading MRI results that describe one’s brain as unremarkable. Like, could you be more insulting?

Who says you need a multi-thousand dollar alignment rack? 3D print it! video: https://youtu.be/PWm98NuuYA0 more info and stl downloads: https://www.diyfabshop.com/alignment-kit Many more parts to go an dI have to order a few aluminum extrusions.

@alice How much does it sound like bluster that a handy man saying he can pick locks and likely never practices will be getting into a 6 pin Schlage trumbler? The guy rebuilding the deck at our mother’s house put his own lock on the garage and filled it with a […] [Original post on denvr.social]

Duh.

Da Bears are playing so family has to watch it, but we’re going through old photos.

I got a lap kitty

Helloe Chi-town. I’m coming to eat all the deep-dish pizza and hot dogs without mustard.

This wine tastes like dirt, yummy, plummy, jammy, dry, terrior-ific dirt. Yea, I’m a little bit buzzed.

Teaching wife to use her great grandmother’s Singer sewing machine from the 60’s. Threading most of the things is fine, getting thread into the needle is a challenge for our old eyes.

If you substitute brain worms for maggots in this song it really fits the current situation. https://music.apple.com/us/album/nazi-live/1778643381?i=1778643399 Is in reference to this: https://bsky.app/profile/noturtlesoup17.bsky.social/post/3m3jeltkijk2d

After the startup I worked for failed after 9/11 I couldn’t find another engineering job. When my unemployment was about to run out I took my other skills and got hired at a small auto repair business who took a chance on me. I had only DIY skills, but did amateur autocross for years and worked […]

At 34F before the sun has come up is the perfect time to blow out the sprinkler line. I also had to bring in little Spike

What I wore today… (Aside: I bought this during W's administration, and hoped I'd never need it again.) #nokings

such great energy and signs. #nokings #denver Do we have to pick one? Porque no los dos?
