"Mummy brown, also known as Egyptian brown or Caput Mortuum, is a rich brown bituminous pigment with good transparency, sitting between burnt umber and raw umber in tint. The pigment was made from the flesh of mummies mixed with white pitch and myrrh. Mummy brown was extremely popular from the mid-eighteenth to the nineteenth centuries. However, fresh supplies of mummies diminished, and artists were less satisfied with the pigment's permanency and finish. By 1915, demand had significantly declined. Suppliers ceased to offer it by the middle of the twentieth century. "

One of the things I’ve been annoyed with about Star Wars is how the entire galaxy forgot about the Jedi in 20 years, or perhaps thought of them as a myth.

But I just realized something. There are kids today that insist that Helen Keller is wasn’t real. So I guess it’s not that weird

I swear, people have these super computers in their pockets and home, and use them as dumb terminals to just rent other people’s computers and then are shocked when the person that owns the computer takes their stuff, or decides to shake them down for more money.

Fuck the cloud. Fuck streaming. Fuck subscriptions.

Great. Now some dude is causing a disturbance, supposedly pulled a knife, yelled, wandered off the bus, and now the bus if off the off and parked on the side of the road, instead of just going, because now we have to wait for the police.

Spotify is getting even more desperate to get me to justify their hobbies instead of just sticking with their core competency.

@harish I one time made the mistake of tapping their DJ. I was immediately greeted with an AI jabbering about how cool he was.

Fuuuuuuck.

@harish looks like this. It used to show up very prominently on my Home Screen, but i just had to search for it.

It’s the only feature I took time fill out their survey about. Basically, “Not what I expected. Hates it. Never want it.”

@swelljoe reminds me of this hotel we stayed at in downtown San Diego. It had a very old, very slow elevator, that at one time was certified as the fastest elevator in the world.

The hotel attests that the elevator maintains the same speed today, that it had when it was installed.

@j2bryson When I was a teenager, I asked my mom why adults we’re obsessed with the Kennedys. She told me about him being a sex symbol, idealistic and all that. But then she said something like, “You know. He didn’t really do all that much. Now Johnson, he did a lot.” And went on to talk about how Johnson used Kennedy’s assassination as leverage to get votes. “Do it for him”, kind of stuff.

Understandably, she has very conflicted views about LBJ. Domestically, he was great. But Vietnam. She’s calmed a lot now, but even into the aughts, she’d get SO angry talking about that war.

@mcc I find it weird that people are waking up to the fact that they were doing free labor for a for profit company. Did they think SO was a charity or something?

The real lesson is to never license. It’s just a shakedown by middle men trying to free money. Scrape everything.

@dataandpolitics I often think about an interview with Uber when they asked how I keep my team motivated in your last crunch.

“I don’t remember the last crunch. Maybe several years ago.”
“laughter We go in crunch mode every quarter!”
“What the fuck?”

I should have said to the director interviewing me, “You should fire the director for gross incompetence if he’s fucking up planning this consistently.”

I am very disappointed I didn’t torch that toxic mess.

I came across fan art or maybe a concept art of the aliens from Arrival, and my god it’s shit. Like “Fuck you. You’re fired” level of shit.

I really like that movie. I think its a quiet beautiful story. I love how the aliens are peaceful and alien.

And this fucker decides that the heptapods are just giant people. Fucking hell!

where to sell a model?

My Filament Stackers are ready to go, but I've reached an impasse. Thangs.com wants me to set up ongoing plans that people subscribe to. MyMiniFactory wants me to pay like $25 a month.

Are there any 3D printing focused sites that would just let me sell a model for $6 and just take a cut of the sale with no monthly fees or buyer subscriptions?

[edit: I went with Cults 3D for now: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/home/vertically-stackable-3d-printed-filament-shelves ]

@masukomi what was wrong with v2? It appears strong since it’s at the bottom, and doesn’t need a lot of internal support. I would have thought that was the winning solution, but apparently you need two more variants before you found something that worked.

They all look pretty cool though
