The youth need to be taught about the ever present threat of quicksand.

Loaded a cow in the bed of my Ranger today but the SensorTag went off at the park gate.

JFK was wrong. We should be asking both questions.

I'm torn between the skid steer and the baby's first chemical spill playset. Leaning toward the skid steer. I'm also soaked in deep woods off and smell appropriately.

The funniest thing I've read about the Canvas hack is that your data is likely safer with the hackers than with the Canvas owners. 😀

Get the cash in advance people! You're dealing with crooks and scoundrels. Only allow construction on the main event to begin once the concessions are built and operable!

Lol. It's me.

A SpaceX share is just a meme coin in a trench coat.

chickens are a pretty safe bet in this house

I used to work for Sci-Atl. I think this dish was installed in the 1980s. Photos are from 2002, 2017, and last week.

I can't comment on this beyond what's in the white paper but this is what I've been working on at AMD for the past two years: The AI Compute Extensions (ACE) for x86. I'm excited to see this published. PDF link.

Our compute grid likes to send an email every time a job fails. It's annoying under the best of circumstances. When you terminate a batch of thousands of jobs, it's down right obnoxious.

we're having weather

The little Seeed XIAO ESP32-S3 board does not have enough GPIO for the slot machine reel controller so going to have to upgrade to the ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1.

He's got a point. I wanted a slice of pizza during my bike ride, and dude said I'd need to show a license. Happens all the time.

baby's first slot machine coming to fruition. what better way to learn the names of animals.

Dunbar-Kroger effect in full force: learned just enough about mechanical slot machines reels to try to model them in software with a stepper motor.

The gambling equipment continues to progress. The hardware should be good enough to start writing some software.

Line crews were still repairing the damage from the Ponds wildfire well after dark last night. I came by here an hour later in total darkness and they were still at work.

Fort Collins feels like it should be in the 'Exceptional' category.

what's maddening about this is that battery electric trucking really is growing, but the growth is all in areas like first mile/drainage, regional routes, urban delivery/last mile, exactly what you would expect if you know batteries, but Elon's goofy long hauler nobody asked for gets all the press

I would love to see the economics of that program, I suspect it may be succeeding in spite of some first time OEM/bubble era issues, but as you say they are out there in force and wouldn't be if they weren't paying their apparently very high upfront cost

city got a fancy new solar powered sluice gate for their little pond

It’s the 250th year of American independence, and the Pope and the King of England are reminding Americans of their revolutionary values, principles, and ideals Somewhere, John Adams is confused as fuck

Easily the best recap of the WHCA dinner “shooting” I’ve read yet. From the always relevant @lebassett.bsky.social www.laura-bassett.com/p/the-irony-...

latest version of the gambling equipment. motor will be here tomorrow. mounting hub doohicky by friday. somewhere around here I have laser printer sticker paper.

perfect place for a nest.

“Republicans cut healthcare, made gas prices go up and now they want to spend your money to build their corrupt racist king a golden ballroom to lord over us all” is probably the easiest election messaging in history

"we need a gilded luxury security bubble so DC elites can party in safety" hmmm yes there's that winning populist vibe

Fake ass ai ruler. I too count 1 3 S 4 blob blob blob 8 9.

shhh, don't tell the politicians, but I'm 3d printing gambling equipment. slot machine reel with stepper motor and hall effect sensor.

snack time

Ran into three legit cowboys today. Horses, cattle dog, cattle, the works. They rounded up their cattle, drove the cattle down valley, and loaded them in a trailer for the trip to town. Coordinated my movements with them so as not to drive the cattle in the wrong direction. Pretty cool to see.

Ruined a glove on a cactus today. After a bit of maintenance, the hand that was inside the glove is good now.

the common poorwills are back in town

Anecdotally: well, duh.

Amazon will argue they were only pointing out violations of retail price maintenance agreements by their competitors. If you want competition in the US, you need to eliminate vertical price fixing agreements where the end result is horizontal price fixing. Leegin v PSKS was bad for consumers.

Plus interest. 'Murica, fuck yeah!

Which of these created the most jobs?

If I get my skull images from <local hospital> and 3D print it and drink from it, does that count as drinking from the skulls of your enemies?

nothing online works for shit anymore. everybody who knows how to work computer is unemployed. we are stuck with these losers shooting up peptides while they vibecode their claude dongle

Anyone know what connectors these are on these greeting card sound modules? They are not JST PH 2.0 mm connectors. They are not JST SH 1.0 mm connectors. Going to try JST ZH 1.5 mm next. Pitch looks like 1.5 mm but the sockets on the board are kinda funny looking for JST.

One of these GE engine pressure ratio gauges is stock; the other has been converted into a USB HID device. Would you like to know more?

The manosphere is just a giant closet.

At a brewery tonight, there's the UFC's ultimate fan who's a middle school wrestling coach and refers to the president by his first name and a loud crazy guy in the parking lot yelling loud crazy shit. One leaves and the atmosphere improves by at least two orders of magnitude. Guess who left?

insert "i ain't reading all that" meme

At Rally King in Fort Collins. Everyone ran inside to watch the splashdown.
