I can't remember when I started this. Sometime in January maybe? Anyway,I decided to make a big ball from the wax at work just so when customers ask me what that is, I can say "That's the whole ball of wax!"
I'll see myself out.

A 3D printer on pavers on a bench.
Decided to see if many pounds of concrete would suppress the sound the vibrations getting to the bench surface, cutting the noise.
Results: Worth the fifteen bucks and all the old man noises I made setting it up.

Damn, that's some disco macrame.
takes care of cd jitter, too
Did you start with one slab and keep adding until you were happy with the results? Just curious because this is totally something I would do
@jive_t I went to buy one, put one in the cart and looked at it. I put another on top of it. Then another. Then another. Then another. Then I thought "now you are just being silly". I put two back.
I put them all in and was happy with the vibrometer readings. I might take one out, because it's a bit high. We'll see what it's like when I get the top.

A quote in white text on a black background that says: ""A person's life consists of a collection of events, the last of which could also change the meaning of the whole, not because it counts more than the previous ones but because once they are included in a life, events are arranged in an order that is not chronological but, rather, corresponds to
an inner architecture."

Three Calvin and Hobbes strips repurposed to be Paul undergoing the test of the gom jabbar from "Dune". In the first, Calvin on the examination table at the doctor's office is approached by the doctor, bearing a box. "What's in the box?" "Pain." In the second, Calvin's mom in the waiting room recites the litany against fear. In the third, in the first panel Calvin yells, "You can contain my body but you can't chain my spirit! Walls can't confine it! Laws can't restrain it! You can try to leave a message but my spirit screens it calls!" In the second panel, loud screaming is heard; Calvin's mother jumps out of her chair. In the third, she asks a disgruntled Calvin, "What did the Reverend Mother say?" He replies, "All history up to this point has been spent preparing the world for my presence."

Are you boneless? Do you need a couch cover?
Looking for a new dog bed because of https://mltshp.com/p/1RVBP and came across this fantastic product name and image that made me lol.
This is probably what happens when you auto generate everthing for products using ai on amazon. A boneless woman in a cover.
This also goes along with the end of design as we know it. A world where the unqualified approve everything they think is fine without understanding how it communicates to their audience.

If your products are a scam, you want the audience to self-select down to those who will fall for the scam. Horky-borky AI product images are the modern version of misspelled subject lines in email spam.

"About twenty-five years ago, I made an offhand and somewhat uncharitable remark about the Red Hot Chili Peppers. There was no malice intended, it was just the sort of obnoxious thing I would say back then to piss people off. I was a troublemaker, a shit-stirrer, feeling most at ease in the role of a societal irritant. Perhaps it’s an Australian trait among people of my generation, I don’t know, but that comment has followed me around for the last quarter-century. But the most interesting aspect of all this is not what I said about the Chili Peppers, but rather the response from Flea, their bass player. On Facebook, Flea expressed how hurt he felt by my remark, but went on to say, in great detail, that he loved my music regardless. He wrote a profoundly generous and open-hearted love letter to Nick Cave. I remember being genuinely moved by his words and thinking what a classy guy Flea was, and feeling on some subterranean level that I was unable to fully grasp at that point in my life, that Flea was a human being of an entirely different calibre, indeed, of a higher order.
Over the years, I would run into Flea at music festivals where both our bands were performing and see him backstage when we played in Los Angeles. Although we didn’t become close friends, my encounters with him were always pleasant – there was a presence to Flea that felt genuine and oddly affecting. On the Push the Sky Away tour, we asked Flea if he could assemble a children’s choir, from the Silverlake Conservatory of Music he founded, to accompany the Bad Seeds at the Coachella Festival. When Warren and I were on the Carnage tour, we asked Flea to join us and play the song ‘We No Who U R’. Watching Warren and Flea perform together with such heart and mutual regard was a glorious sight.
Last week, Flea sent me a song and asked if I’d like to add some vocals. It was for a “trumpet record” that he is making. It is not for me to divulge what the song was, only that it is a song I cherish more than most, with arguably the greatest lyric ever written, a song of such esteem that I would never have dared to sing it had Flea not asked me to. I went into the studio on Wednesday and recorded my vocals. The track emerged as a beautiful conversation between Flea’s trumpet and my voice, filled with yearning and love, the song transcending its individual parts and becoming a slowly evolving cosmic dance, in the form of a reconciliation and an apology.
My friend, the artist Thomas Houseago, recounted a story involving Flea. A couple of years ago, Flea, his daughter, Thomas, and a guide were hiking through the backcountry of Yosemite. They had been hiking for five days and were walking along a densely forested trail when a bear appeared on the path before them. Everybody froze. The bear was about ten feet away from them. It was a large black bear with a reddish hue. Thomas and the guide gripped their tent poles, perhaps to defend themselves in case the bear attacked. Flea, however, stepped forward, stood before the bear, and spoke to it. He acknowledged they were visitors in the bear’s territory, expressed his love for the bear, and requested permission to continue along the trail. The bear stepped off the path and allowed them to pass."

That "Trumpet Record" was one of the nicer music surprises as of late.
Flea and Chad seem cool
Nice. Adult behavior redeems. Although I do turn the channel when Red Hot Chili Peppers come on the radio. In Southern California, it's like every ten minutes. I just don't ever need to hear them again.
I love his weekly red hand files. Genuinely a good and witty writer all around.

They're all dreadful. but something really innocuous about Perplexity. Maybe the others followed suit.
@poorusher No idea what you’re talking about.
@robotmachine All of the companies have made their ip addresses public.
This means if you are a website admin or host your own site, you can edit configuration files that either block, redirect or serve 404 pages to specific incoming requests. Essentially website owners can prevent AI bots scraping their servers with this configuration (probably the block or redirect as traffic can have an effect on bills for hosting).
However Perplexity lied about their IP addresses. So blocking what they published as their ip address range did not work.
See
https://www.wired.com/story...
https://rknight.me/blog...
https://blog.cloudflare.com/perplexi...
My favourite quote from the first article
"The magic trick that’s made Perplexity worth 10 figures, in other words, appears to be that it’s both doing what it says it isn’t and not doing what it says it is."
I also think that seeing as these companies are so rampant to ingest everything and maybe after the PerplexityAI horseshit, they might also have found ways to try and bypass protocols, firewalls, server rules and so on. A race to the bottom.
Sorry for such a long rant.

I completely disagree on the modifying prefix. I believe that they are Lawful in nature.
@poorusher I get a lot of residential networks scraping constantly. Pretty hard to block a Comcast /8 without blocking some legit users and staff.
The sooner this dumb gold rush ends the better off we will all be.
The sooner this dumb gold rush ends the better off we will all be.
As a website manager the worst is the scanning bots, which devour our bandwidth, ignore the standard "fuck off" signals, and often appear in new guises. There are also vast numbers of smaller players who are even more inconsiderate, having no problem ravaging a website for maximum pages a second for days on end.
If they were lawful in nature every CEO of all of these companies would drown themselves in a river.

This is me and Patricia. We are performing as King Ferdinand of Aragon and Queen Isabella of Castile at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival this year. I make my costumes, and you are looking at an unbelievable amount of my free time over the last few months.
Our theme is "heroes and villains" and our characters started the Spanish Inquisition, so our costuming is very Disney-villain inspired.

A photograph of seed art piece for the Minnesota State Fair, styled after Picasso's Guernica. Multiple cubist figures are seen including one, a bearded man holding a cell phone lying on the ground. To the right of the piece an anguished figure throws her hands up holding a sign reading "ICE OUT". A loon, its wings spread, dominates the left side of the work.

Work by Jennifer Nelson.
“My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’”
