The good old days of #Jenkins and #Travis #CI:

It’s a few days early for Torontohenge, but it was still pretty sweet.

More fun with shapes like this spherical package made of spheres using a #dodecahedron and/or an #icosahedron as base in #openscad

Attached: 1 image Sitting on the tarmac for an Air Canada flight from Toronto to Ottawa… The ground crew spent 2 hrs trying to fit a wheelchair into the cargo. After a very long time, they took it off the plane - but appeared to have detached the battery and maybe broken it. 😱 There were maybe 7-10 people out there trying to fix it. I feel for the owner of that chair! #accessibility #aircanada

This has been a really sad 48 hours in the US. Yes, it’s been building, and any given 48 hours of the last 9 months has been sad, but these last 48 in particular are just numbingly sad. Turns out flooding the zone works.

Sooo, I couldn't resist. Figured out the query, which is essentially $QUEUE_LENGTH / $CAN_SCALE were $CAN_SCALE is either 1 or 0. And since division by 0 gives you nothing, and division by 1 gives you $QUEUE_LENGTH it makes for the perfect scaler with a kill switch. Then, I launched the

A can of Summit Red Thunder from Aldi's is $0.80 and a can of comparable Red Bull from the gas station down the street is $4 per can. The cheap stuff tastes good and I don't really see a purpose to buying the expensive stuff (beyond the fact that they sell it cold). 🤷‍♂️

I really wish there were sidewalks in this neighborhood. This is not safe.

There are a few reasons to do this:
A) Less light leaking downstairs
B) To block cats from getting on it and chewing on cables
C) Because it looks better, it will look amazing once I'm done with full making a scene of this part

I actually went to the grocery store to pick up some Dr. Pepper ahead of the week even though I could have done it tomorrow, because I want to do as little as possible tomorrow.

... She ordered regular plates but then put the renewal stickers on the collector plates. I warned her that that is not how it works. 🤨

Before earlier this year, I had a Ford Ranger sitting in my driveway that I used three or four times per year. I ordered collector plates for it (since I don't drive it in the winter anyways and I don't want to have to pay to renew plates) and then my sister's car broke down (while she's still owed money on it) so I gave the truck to her. I hadn't even received the collector plates yet. I found out today that she's driving around with the collector plates on it.

To make that happen, I used those bricks from that box to build this 72-layer, absolute unit of a, wall so the second set of indicator lights can rest for 3 of the 4 corners on it. (Did this because having 4 pillars was too unstable.)
