Oh no, I reinstalled Fortnite.

Wait... how the hell did they manage to license "Surfin' USA" by the Beach Boys as the drop-in music?

I'm absolutely astonished on the regular at the copyright / trademark / brand mashup they've managed to assemble in Fortnite.

Like, do they pay for all of that? Do they get paid to include some of it? Do they just have a Thunderdome of lawyers bashing away at each other?

Where else can I blast Homer Simpson in his underwear with a shotgun, only for Marty McFly to shiv me in the back with a sword from Kill Bill?

Just discovered this head(amame) kit with the speaker hardware to DIY your own headphones with 3D printed parts. Kinda want to get one as a project.

Also makes me think it would be neat if someone designed 3D modes to print and repurpose parts from other existing headphones - like my aging pair of Sony WH-1000XM3 that are gradually crumbling to dust. Like, take the guts and reinstall in a whole new shell

Also, now I kinda want to pony up for the battle pass in Fortnite, so I can get that Marty McFly skin. 🙃

@links "necroprinting" is pretty dang brutal and metal

One of our litter boxes sends me a push notification when Catsby poops. This is intentional and useful under current circumstances. This is not the future I expected.

@bjst Thermostats? Though it looks like there's the No Longer Evil project for Nest, at least nolongerevil.com/

There is also a non-zero number of litter box pictures going around in texts between my wife & I right now

For some reason, in a sudden intense mood to binge on Mother Mother albums today. Really like them, though they seem like a band that should be problematic but I just haven't heard why yet. A lot of bands I really like end up that way.
