Same experience with my printer! Gave me some motivation to finish off some of the projects I’ve disregarded since there’s some new shiny light to it. The printer has been going non-stop (while it’s not needing to be maintained) and I’ve made enclosures, costumes, frames, and molds that got me back into programming, crafting, painting, and masonry. Glad to have such split attention sometimes, lol.

Bookmarked in case of deep inspiration, thank you!

Goddammit, now I need to change my fkn VPN, too

Hell yeah, I’ve been making G&Ts for my quick mixer over the past few years - it’s so good. That Earl Grey cocktail sounds absolutely divine for the last bit of warm weather we have here, thank you!

Yes! Your knowledge will last and it’s insane how many hobbies have coinciding skills. Keeping it fresh allows me to stay motivated and as long as I’m doing something, I couldn’t care less if it’s painting or soldering or whateverthefuckelse at that moment :D

What’s been your favorite cocktail as of recently to have on a normal night?

That sounds incredibly trippy to see in theaters at 6-7. Kinda jealous of your story!

Really, really depends on your option on a lot of things to consider that one.

Been working on a personal project to display my Spotify playing info onto a LED matrix display (with lots of visual goodies) and allow for physical buttons to control playback, lookup the artist on Wikipedia, open their bandcamp profile, and eventually to find what songs they do not have on Spotify.

It’s still in its infancy but it’s allowing me to work on blending software, hardware, and design all together in a fun, interactive way.

I don’t have a TV in my living room but listen to music 24/7 and my wife would like a way to see what weird shit we’re listening to.

Lovely reply; this is not the simplest answer but it’s the truth.

Uh, “journalism”

It seems to be about yelling at others that “you’re not a real programmer!!!” mixed with being so “technically correct” my eyes can no longer roll the same way they used to.

I want his babies

Fantastic work getting this going. I really think if this were to be streamlined, it would be able to convince me (and plenty others) to switch to Linux full time. Seems like something that could be handled automatically given a few parameters but publishing it would be a bitch

Unfathomably silly

Going off on a whim and gonna say Aguirre, The Wrath of God

Spanish conquistadors getting their shit handed to them so only loosely pirates but pirates in spirit.

Awesome delivery of your story! This is the thing that will stick in my mind and I’ll remember it throughout my life.
