No, random person in the lobby. This isn’t a hotel, this is my home.

A fatal stabbing happened pretty much right underneath my balcony. I don't really know how to react.

It does make me think about the casual irrelevance society has assigned to the lives and safety of delivery drivers and the costs of out convenience. Which doesn't help and this isn't about me.

I should not suggest @xssfox is nuclear armed.

It would be nice if these parts would not keep failing part way through the print...

I am going to a gym to ride an exercise bike and I don’t wanna.

How many more factors of authentication do I need now?

French supermarkets cause update to classic* prank call:

"What is your fridge running?"
"Well you'd better go and patch it."

I think today I will get me some pastries and do some CAD.

New printer is placed such that it can likely at times observe me naked and I don't care enough to do anything about this. Anyone observing the video feed takes their chances.

@xssfox Which Bamboobs do you have and would you recommend it to someone with terrible impulse control?

I continue to not understand reaction videos. Why the fuck would I need someone to react for me? Actual analysis sure, if you have specialist knowledge or experience. But outsourcing emotional responses?

"One Man Caused One of Britain’s Most Avoidable Rail Disasters..."

No, YouTube headline. Unless you mean the person responsible for the system that allowed one person to be in a position to cause a rail disaster. And that's probably a small group holding that responsibility.

If the system allows a single person to cause a catastrophe then that is a system issue. And the responsibility lies with those responsible for the system. Blaming the immediate individual working in the system is convenient for those responsible for it, but not for those of us who'd like better systems.

The other printer produced some very nice TPU parts, one of which removed part of the build plate covering when I removed it, as I hadn't reapplied glue after the last print. Oops.

So the manually added brim was insufficient to prevent the long thin parts from coming off the build plate. Which is not entirely surprising, and also why I am printing much wider versions.

I have glue, or I could widen the brim for these parts. Will see how well the brim removes from the wider parts first.

And also do the printer maintenance which is now due.

How it’s going

Docker was a hack to deal with poor tooling and I would like to see what things are like in the parallel reality where we fixed our tooling instead.

I am finding watching 3D prints kind of hypnotic.

I do not understand this enthusiasm for making everything call Someone Else’s API.
