Screenshot of a closeup CAD render of a PCB design, showing a branching trace with three vias each having a different vaguely cherry blossom-esque shaped pad instead of a circular annulus

Hear me out @kicad.org,
arbitrary pad shapes for vias

Two round circuit boards with white soldermask and blue silkscreen, left shows a CR2032 holder and the right shows a USB adapter board soldered into its place instead.

Hey soldering kit makers! Struggling with new coin cell regulations and have a pile of PCBs with coin cell battery holder patterns on them? I made a thing for ours that converts them to USB power, maybe it's handy for you. 🧵

A woman fills most of the frame, posing with only below her eyes and above the knees in the frame. She's kneeling, wearing sweatpants and a fleece hooded cardigan with ASCII symbols scattered in neon green on it. She's also wearing a salmon-colored crop-top with an artistic skull and flowers, and the words "Destroy Systems of Oppression". She's wearing one guillotine earring and one sharp knife earring.

Got other stuff to do this morning but had to take a quick "Morale Will Be Kept" break for myself. And I'm nothing if not a generous sharer.
