Ah, so those nasty super dark clouds really were snow

@jimlau Yeah, I kinda hate to use filament on that though? I might just chop up some cardboard recycling

Ohh, this flash contest at Printables is pretty rad - mini robots!

I love this song... "I am an alien. My rocket ship is human bone and skin. I'm something smaller staring out the skull with a panel of wire and buttons I don't understand, spamming every one o' them... so does being human mean pretending to know what's going on? hello?"

@hacks4pancakes Yeah, really kind of a design flaw that the founders assumed the citizens and leaders would be not dumb

@bnys This has been stuck in my head all weekend! Typing the lyrics out, it sounds kinda like a horror show πŸ˜…

@mwl OMG OMG OMG

Notification from the library: "Your loan will be returned in a few days."

Aaaaaaa crap I'm only 2/3 through this novel

@mwl I might have to actually try to get out to see them when they come to Portland in April.

I'm not one for shows much these days, but I had actually bought tickets one of the last times they came around. And then that whole COVID-19 thing happened :sadness:

Gee, thanks Fedex, I really appreciated that you delivered a package containing 38lbs of glass by leaning it against our front door. That was exciting!

Luckily, the image I pasted in that toot came from the FedEx delivery notice, so I was at least forewarned? Also, my mailbox was a bit squashed and there were labels on the box advising not to stand it up on end like that πŸ™ƒ

Oh well, I can at least say onedayglass.com packaged it really well and the contents made it to my basement intact

I don't have the budget, gumption, wherewithal, or moxie to be much of a deviant myself - but I sure do appreciate that y'all are out there. :blobsalute:

So I was puttering at the 3D printer and said "fuck you!" at something

A Google Mini that I'd forgotten I still had plugged in piped up, "While I may be a virtual assistant, your words are very real--"

That's when I reached for my revolver (*)

(*) turned off the power strip into which the google mini was plugged

Kind of a neat lil robot thing. Prints in-place with joints to unfold from a cube

This reminds me of that old joke...

So I'm loading a gun and my wife asks me why.

"I think the toaster is listening to us," I tell her.

She laughs.

I laugh.

The toaster laughs.

I shoot the toaster.
