Other people hunted down the cyber truck? I thought that was my own personal metagame. Guess I should have known better.

The handles I hand turn from maple and the brass ferrules I machine on a desktop cnc.

The tool heads are purchased as working with tungsten carbide is not something one can do in a garage safely.

The project funding seems to have reset .. what's going on with that?

Perhaps they mean we need to rethink the concept of floors entirely. They are not nearly squishy enough.

My filter basket is haunted by the ghosts of coffees past.

Dear Technivorm:
There has to be a better material for these than plastic. The Mochamaster demands a steel filter basket... or tempered glass perhaps?

While you're at it replace the plastic carafe lid as well.

Thnx

Perhaps a nice "sorry, I'm hear that women old enough to vote disgust you"

Reporters really need to respond to these threats directly. Reporters are WAY better with words than this monosyllabic buffoon... show him up and tell him off!

Nice UX @baileypottery.bsky.social not confusing in the least. Please only change the bit AFTER the semi-colon. People scan specs, they don't fully read them every time.

He was talking about Sen Mike Lee .. not the poster. TBF, it was a tad confusing.

While I don't think these have ANYTHING to do with Charlie Kirk these shirts are pretty bad.

You wear a shirt covered in blood with the words "Problem Solved"... TO A SCHOOL?!

I don't feel it's in any way intentional... just so SO poorly thought out. Have they not heard of school shootings?

Tear it down and salt the earth. Nothing should grow or be built there ever again.

Not releasing the Epstein files and holding pedophiles accountable horrifies me... but yeah, an outdated bathroom is pretty bad too, I guess.

I early votificated on Sunday!

My heating/ cooling dryer and water heater all utilize heat pumps. These should all work in concert with one another and adapt based on the weather.

Waste heat from appliances or hot outside? Send it to water heater and dryer.

House needs cooling? The water heater's vented air is free AC.

I wish Bluesky would post human readable user names instead of @'s. That took 3 read throughs to parse... and I only mostly got what it was saying.

Attempting Pizza Skulls and just after I push them into the oven I notice that I screwed up and used sharp cheddar instead of mozz.

I'm cooked.

A ballroom is "much needed"... no, just no.

I hope the next president burns it down and designates the rubble as a national landmark.

Made my first sale on Etsy!

I set up a bare bones shop with a few pottery turning tools with hand turned wood handles.

I already have a laundry list of what I need to update in terms of store page and listings.
