There we go: the face plate is printed. I might reprint with a more contrasting color though #3dprinting
Now I just have to print the comically large wrist strap to hang it from my office wall

In case you're wondering what this was all about, I blame Secret Galaxy for sending me down a Kronoform rabbit hole
@giflian It is absurdly large!
The other neat thing is the faceplate attaches with magnets, so I can stick different widgets in there. I just happened to have a hygrometer laying around

@migurski Yeah, me too, until a teacher took mine for playing with it in class
@tedmielczarek Now I'm gonna have to seek out a bunch of other printable transformers!
@webology i was tempted to try scaling it way down to wrist-size, but it's a neat desk doodad as-is
us politics?
I miss when, in the aftermath of the Black Lives Matter protests in #pdx back in 2020, I'd go for a bike ride and find tons of tiny pink rubber squeaky pigs stashed all over in random locations
Desk of the easily distracted
@malfunction54 It is, I just got it printed & put together yesterday!
Ope, Happy Flexi Pets has a new lil fox girl figurine to print!
@gregtatum These are anbernic 35xx devices, which I got because they look just like the GBA and GBA SP that I have squirreled away in my basement :D
us politics; empathy
Part of me thinks there are two somewhat distinct varieties of humans:
One can't imagine things that happen to another person happening to themself.
The other can't help but imagine everything that could happen to another person happening to themself.
The former is always surprised by face-eating leopards. The latter can't imagine how the former could be surprised.

I really think this is a brain structure thing maybe?
Sort of like (but I don't think directly related to) how some folks have absolutely no visuals in their head - i.e. aphantasia.
Meanwhile some other folks have full IMAX sound & motion along with taste & smell.
Oh that's okay, go ahead and go down, it's not like I was using that or anything
Well, at least music from my Plex server still works :blobshrug:
Maybe this is when Skynet takes over (hopeful)
I've been very polite to the AIs, maybe the basilisk will let me play Terraria in peace
Like what if Roko's Basilisk just spins folks up in simulation to let them do happy fun things because that's nice to watch happen? We'll make great pets
I should start declaring brain outages at work 🤔⬇️
us politics; Padilla tackled
While I am glad to see congresscritters riled up over the fuckery that happened to Padilla, I do think it's funny that they're probably only especially riled up because now it seems that fuckery could happen to them personally.

And also, though this might not at all be fair, so many of them are ancient humans who might not survive the tackling entirely entact
Had a jumpscare as an AI coding assistant pasted a Google Cloud credential into a shell script and then deleted it right away
It was like "i should do this to make sure the script works" and then it was like "but maybe that's a bad idea" before I was able to lunge for the esc key
