I've been to Kariya city in the past a few times. It's pretty close to Nagoya, only about 20-30 minutes by train and seems much more built as a city than where I'm headed.

Confusingly, not the ward of Tokyo proper, it's a way out town.

By car or commuter train. I'm not getting a car.

Ah, cool, totally cool. Work trip to Japan means going to a place 2 hours outside Tokyo for a week... that'll be fun...

Unless you have a corporate assignee and maybe you're lucky to get a couple thousand dollar bonus.

This is how I REALLY access Bluesky.

Big stretch, big yawn! 😴 Rainier the wolverine is starting his day in the coziest way possible. Wolverines may look fluffy, but they’re tough, powerful animals. #WorldWolverineDay

It's so unfair of Donald to make W look wise in comparison.

I used to think, "We will never have another president as dumb as George W. Bush." Boy, was I ever wrong.

I never actually used mine for much, still keep it in the box in it's antistatic bag.

And how they work is just...mind boggling. And they have to run each chip through those machines dozens of times and they have to work perfectly every time.

I've worked as an automotive engineer for about 20 years...when you really start thinking about just how much work goes into building a single model, your head starts to hurt. I don't even know a single car manages to roll off a line.

That is amazing!

This was someone reverse engineering and making a copy of a commercial product...and complaining about design decisions and how bad they were...and like...dude...there is so much that goes into making a product than you are seeing, know, or understand having never worked in industry himself.

And yeah, the world is far too profit driven, but don’t put that shit on the engineers and designers as if we don’t know better or would. Or talk about us like we bow to our corporate overloads. In face…engineers kind of enjoy the challenge sometimes.

I just love when self-righteous maker types go off about how bad industry is at designing and making stuff...dude...you design shit for 3D printing, we design stuff to be made thousands to millions of times. That 5 cent screw really does make a difference and not just so a CEO gets paid more.

Oh...that logo design is great.

Time to post some boobies of main.

This is what we get for moving off the TF2 hat standard!

They're even going to crash virtual economies! We should have never moved off the TF2 hat standard!

Also... being mad at that episode with the Doctor for having some plot similarities to some other episodes... how many times did Voyager have episodes where the rest of the crew seemingly forgot he was supposed to be treated as a sentient being and he had to fight for it again?

I'm willing to bet this same person would be massively upset if they got some bit of canon wrong that they're particularly attached to because the writer has watched every single episode 20 times.

Don't Forget Gaza and the Palestinians Israel is using the illegal war on Iran to continue to kill and starve Gaza, steal more Palestinian land, and restrict movement in the West Bank. Don't look away.

Oof... Might be because I used degreaser instead of soap...

Really excited for what could be done with leather.

I think the measurements on the cup were a little off. It seems to stick pretty well, I did use an adhesion promoter. Will need to figure out the best way to durability test it.

Trying some test prints.
