If you really want to be scared about AI, it's not that it's taking away the jobs (which it is), it's that it's being heavily pushed by Accelerationists. Many of them cite Nick Land, a British philosopher who argues for eugenics, "hyper-racism," and authoritarianism.

There are also tons of accelerationist neo-Nazi groups around the world.

These groups assume everything is failing and we need to accelerate the collapse and get it over with.

And they love AI. Scary rabbit-hole to go down.

I still have too high of an opinion/expectation of my fellow human.

I think by now we should know how to structure a mass vaccination clinic.

Even the pre-registration could have been a lot better.

I know some folks that might turn into dust they will feel so old since they are "trad goth"

It just occurred to me that I probably should do "wear leveling" on my build plates.

That is, don't always print things in the center of the plate. As much for the plates as the movement mechanisms

Just sweeping the roof as you do.

This is about 3-5 years of neglect

The trick is to not slip and slide off.

The gutters also have been neglected and are next.

Well, I have some branches to lop off on the other side. Kinda hard to sweep with branches in the way

Future work. Metal roof mostly covered in black walnut leaves and debris.

This ancient Honda crv in front of me is buying an atrocious amount of oil

I bet it's burning more carbon per minute than my 2018 Rav4 hybrid burns in an hour.

An infrequent reminder to look at and clean your beverage making and drinking things

I suggest denture cleanser for the metal, ceramic, and glass bits that look stained

Acids for your heat up water stuff. Either distilled vinegar or citrus acid powder

A weak bleach solution for the plastic or silicone bits. Then a good rinse and soak in water

Soap and water and scrubbing go along ways too but I'm a lazy person and don't do that regularly enough. Even so, you will need to descale kettles

If you reply to a toot about vaccine costs with:

considering how much people in US spend on useless shit and entertainment - 178$ doesn’t sound that much TBH. Or maybe I don’t understand how wages/taxes/mortgage in US works and how much people gave to spend in the end

I'm thanking @randomgeek for coining "chat oubliette" to describe Discord.

I think he would apply that to Slack as well.

AQI is crap.

However, to keep co2 levels below 900-1,000 I need to open my office door.

So I open the door and have a filter attached to the box fan that circulates air when I have the AC on

I did find a janky AF diy heat exchanger I might try to make. Then I can get fresh air (add a merv 13 filter in it I guess) without losing the conditioned air and such. Even a very low efficiency is better than what I'm doing now

Realized it's actually been a year and change since I recapped what my chessables ARE, so:

I wanted a chess set plus a ton of extra pieces, for variant chess games, tokens for other stuff, etc, so I made some 3d printable ones.

They came out pretty cool.

Then I 3d printed them as molds and cast them with plaster and painted them.

I'm still working on making them as aluminum molds for plastic injection.

I'm now ALSO working on making them as plaster molds to slipcast them as ceramics.
