This is one of my absolute favorite combos. The sweet pineapple balances the spicy tang of the jalepenos, and the ham grounds the whole slice with umami fervor.

Jerry Lawson, the inventor of the video game cartridge.
This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.
The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.
Happy Black History Month.

These two lifting bodies paved the way for the shuttle program and many of the modern flight controls required for unstable aircraft like fighters and missiles.

OP standing in front of the F117
My favorite aircraft is the F117, and I've been trying to see one in person for almost a decade. I finally had an excuse to go to the museum of the Air Force:

This is really cool! I love it when older algorithms get new implementations.
Just curious, did you have a use case for this? What can you use random fingerprints for?

It's so easy but most people don't know how much better it tastes than a store-bought stock. Any soup levels up from homemade stock. I made tonkotsu broth yesterday, which is just as easy.

Made a synthetic fingerprint generator that runs in the browser! You can download them as SVGs. Used a 20-year-old algo called SFinGe that hasn't gotten much love these days. I think they look really goood!!!!

The grid pattern cut is a material test file generated by lightburn. In this case I was testing q-pulse against number of passes. I'm trying to sneak up on just barely cutting through. It's not working very well.

Implantable SSH credentials | Evan Pratten
Using somewhat-sketchy crypto to become a walking private key
On DT forum the user ewpratten wrote a blog about storing private ssh keys on his implant. I think that is a fun concept.
You can of course use a rfid ring or a card or a toy-2-life maybe :)
Anyway, its a fun hack!

I purchased a 30W fiber laser and I've been very slowly learning how to use it. I'm trying to etch PCBs so I've been working on getting the settings dialed in. I have a long way to go but starting to get usable results.

That is not true! You were conserving energy and tactically awaiting the right time to strike like the persistence hunter humans are.

Poe is hoping you underestimate him. That's how he lulls you into a false sense of security before he chucks the snowball at you.
