The screenshot reads a quote: I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be happy. I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate. It is, above all to matter, to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all.

Itโ€™s a screen itโ€™s a picture of my printing finished and it was the end of the school and it actually completed and my guessing was correct so Iโ€™m just very proud and I showed this off. Itโ€™s just a moment for me.

Mike drop. I have reached the pinnacle of 3-D printing. Please note the sliver of filament left noting just enough to pull out when I tell it to change filament (because I was seriously wondering, what do I do if the filament is in the tube and change the tube). The job completed successfully.

I used AI to make an HTML version of my eBay listing from my narrative. The screenshot shows the result. Just copy/paste into the listing.

eBay listing tip: Did you know you can use HTML in listings? Look what AI did for mine. See image. Now, eBay stripped some of it but it still turned out far better than it would have.

PRO TIP: If you leave your cart with a printer at bambulab, about a week later they wrote me with a coupon for $50USD off. Not sure you'll get this service but I did. #3dprinter

I used my binoculars to see this huge bird in the water, but it didnโ€™t turn out as well as plain sight binoculars. But then watch the deer are in the picture video rather.

A screen shot of a text I just sent trolling a recent news event. It says. "Well, Iโ€™m glad Trump is firing the person responsible for jobs numbers reporting as they are clearly wrong. This move will send a strong signal that America is to be trusted going forward. And speaking of, I canโ€™t wait for the revised numbers to come out. Iโ€™m sure they
โ€ฆ will be good again."

Itโ€™s just a screenshot with me circling that Iโ€™ve lowered the volume to zero because when I watch YouTube shorts, I always turn the volume off.

Watching YT short as I always doโ€ฆ with the volume off (less dopamine hit?). Really. Try it.

Oh, Iโ€™ve got the new update to the Tesla added AI, which is ROCK GROK which has an option for conspiracies and thatโ€™s what Iโ€™m highlighting here. So ridiculous.

A picture of my completed 3-D print that right before I printed it. I weighed the spool to determine if there would be enough to finish and turn up the role has just a few strands left showing so it worked perfectly.

โ€œPrint completeโ€œ I just love that I can use the scale and weigh filament and have it exactly right.

Well, well, well. I had no idea really of the size comparison between the Model M keyboard (10 keyless) vs the Apple Magic Keyboard and now I know. The main similarity is the keyboard typing area is almost exactly the same!

I changed the little keypad area where the insert home page up, delete and page down were. And I replaced them with media keys. And this is a picture of the result of that.

I'm planning to drive to Lexington, Kentucky tomorrow to get me a Unicomp Mini M keyboard and modify it with macOS keys which they offer if you search for Apple. (I did it last week for a friend). Yes, they could mail it but Yolanda was so nice and it's just fun to do it in person. #ibm #keyboard
