I was reading about my obsession: the Beechcraft Starship, and how the author lamented that they wasted $1 billion and I'm like "Open AI burns that in like a week or something"

The Ciao is almost done, I just need to attach the worst brake cable adjuster ever, add a ground to the kill switch, and fill it with gas

I can't prove this is the same spot on Aurora where Handy Andy's is now, but it feels like it

Vespa Ciao just needs the wiring finished and the brake/decomp cables installed and I should be able to see if it actually runs. I haven't built up a bike since pandemic days and vespas are new to me, so anticipating some troubleshooting

I think I can make a vespa subframe myself if I make something up in CAD and then order through Send Cut Send. There's a design out there that's basically 2 laser cut panels and 2 CnC milled blocks to hold it together.

Just fucking insane to see the absolute (intentional) collapse of full remote jobs available for AAA studios in so short a time. Why would I EVER move for a job again when I could be laid off weeks after moving my entire life across the globe??

The song was purchased 3000 times which got it to the #1 spot for "digital download purchases" and has nothing to do with airplay or stream numbers. Someone essentially paid $3k to get press attention, and it worked.
AI is killing more jobs. It's not just the musicians. It's management and booking, road staff, venue staff, and support.
One #1 artist will typically employ at least 50 people. These people aren't millionaires. They work for a living. AI will eliminate their jobs.

I think some artist at the coffee shop tried to strike up a conversation with me, except he opened with "Hi, can I annoy you for a second?" and it stunlocked me ... can you annoy me? do I have the capacity to be annoyed? I grunted and he went on his way.

My friend Kara, the one currently incarcerated at Carswell, has had her hormones cut yet again.
They haven't done labs or anything on her in weeks.
They've now reduced her to 3 mg a week for her HRT.
We are still desperately searching for legal counsel who will advocate for her. Please help.
