Motivation is odd. It’s wildly positive but rarely comes out of positive circumstances.

My newest build lives. There is still some setup and tweaking to do, but it sounds and plays one step above good (can't bring myself to say great), better than any of my previous ukes at this point.

Do it. You know you need to do it. You just have to do it. It won't be nearly as bad as... oh... ANYTHING ELSE GOING ON!

Well, there you have it. He’s openly picking a side who can be violent and a side who must suffer violence.
EARHARDT: We have radicals on the right as well. How do we fix this country?
TRUMP: I'll tell you something that's gonna get me in trouble but I couldn't care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. The radicals on the left are the problem.

Our dryer broke a few months ago. We haven’t replaced it mostly because of laziness. Money too of course.
I don’t mind the laundromat though. It’s a very efficient use of time and honestly kind of relaxing, which is odd because is used detest them.

As I dive deeper into learning machining, @ericrimel.bsky.social made sure this drawer in my Gerstner chest was used for its intended purpose.
Thanks Eric!
This drawer used to hold bandaids and cash for my shop fund. This is better.

I’ll never understand how anyone could be ok using an Alexa device that markets products to you as you passively interact with it by being in the room. There is no amount of convenience that would get me to have a billboard running in my periphery.

Can you imagine the disappointment of being someone who lives socially isolated, going to the mailbox to find what looks like a handwritten letter from a loved one, only to find out it's someone trying to sell you crappy replacement windows?
Gross.

I've been down about my inability to do any real woodworking/luthierie in the shop. Most of it has been a lack of gumption to climb a mountain, finishing my current huge projects.
But a lot of it has been that my creativity and time has been spent working on robots. 1/2

At the VERY LEAST, trump knew about Epstein's deeds and did nothing. It's undeniable at this point. If your friend was raping children, you'd call the cops, because that is the right thing to do.
If you don't, you're scum and should never be trusted with anything of importance. Yet, here we are.
