The list of things I’d do before watching that entity speak would stetch from here to the moon.

Well, now I have a better idea of just how detailed an item my 3D printer can print.
Old (30+ years) Mac floppy drives have a tiny eject mechanism gear that becomes brittle. You can find a design for this gear that allows printing them.
My resulting gear was way too low-resolution for a gear this size, sigh.
Time to buy one.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@bigzaphod/116081950773406502
I backed this on Kickstarter because I absolutely hate the games that are “free” but require endless purchase of the stuff you need to play.
Well, that and the fact that The Iconfactory is awesome!
#VideoGames #Iconfactory
Quoting
Thanks to the Ollie's Arcade Kickstarter, all the games are now free in the App Store (with two more coming in later updates whenever we can finish them).
Go have at it: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ollies-arcade/id6446127619

Maybe he loves knowing that he’s succeeding at his goal of making the serf’s lives as miserable as possible.
Just like how the MuskRat clearly derives joy from being hated.
(Why else do the rich and powerful behave this way? They could use their money in ways that would make themselves *beloved*, yet they choose the opposite.)

@gedeonm@mastodon.social Planning to vote the same. His political bootlicking has made me lose all respect for him.
Anyone have a good guide to help decide how to vote on the other candidates?

@cstross@wandering.shop I’m thrilled just knowing I’m not the only one who remembers The Stainless Steel Rat! 😊
(And really interested in your reinterpretation of course.)

@gedeonm@mastodon.social I can think of one square in particular that would balance out all of the squares you mention, should it be called. 🤔
But yeah, not expecting many good headlines in 2026, sigh.
