Introducing my good friend and Associate Off-Peak.Engineer: Marcel!

Here's their story of how we began collaborating together, half-way across the world, to solve a seemingly impossible problem for his wife: Personalized prosthetics for Kenya.

For the person that I told I'd message back this weekend: I've forgotten the impetus, and thus forgot about you. It's nothing personal, it's just my ADHD.

Going to bed early and getting a full nights sleep is a real power-play, just as long as you can pull it off without incident. ๐Ÿคฃ

A cartoon character resembling "Link" from Nintendo holds a blue rock above his head with the textbox saying: "You found *uranium-stained apatite*... As you hold it over your head, a mellow aroma of radon flows into your nostrils."

Three photos stacked vertically. Top is zoomed in of blue rock with radiation detector reading 20.8+/-5.6% CPS.

Middle frame is slightly zoomed out, with different reading of 20.4+/-5.7% CPS and red LED indicating above-normal background radiation.

Last frame is fully zoomed out, without rock in frame, and a gloved hand holding just the radiation detector, demonstrating a relatively low background radiation of 2.99 +/- 12% CPS when the rock is removed.

While going through my sons rock collection I discovered an ever-so-slightly radioactive uranium-doped apetite mineral.

Happy anniversary bae! To celebrate I accidentally let my prescription lapse and then run out, just so we both can relive who we were naturally, remember? Back when we fell in love ๐Ÿ˜˜

The login screen of my desktop computer, in front of it, between the ergo split keyboad is a cup of coffee, a small try with 3 earthworms in it and a little box half full of woodchips and a baby robin inside another cup full of shreaded paper towel.

@katmabu.bsky.social I heard David Hogg was leaving the DNC ultimately due to his involvement with Leaders We Deserve... Are you too going to become a Leader We Deserve?

Using this to break ACAB down for anyone who still doesnโ€™t understand.

Letโ€™s agree the shooter is a bastard. The others should have prevented him from firing, and after he fired he should have immediately been taken out. He felt comfortable enough to fire because he knows he will get away with it.

Somewhere, between 2 computers running different OSes, several monitors, a few different browsers and an irrational number of tabs, there is a youtube video that's on auto-play.

Good luck!

Naaa, just treat it like it was always there. Toss a rope onto it and setup a new clothes line. Perhaps a few hanging plant baskets. Really make it look like home, ya know?
