I need a distraction, maybe a bit social. Should I reinstall Tribes 2? Or Anarchy Online? The servers are still up I assume as it’s only been 2 decades

Does the internet archive need a specific version of AO?

As soon as the store page finishes loading I am getting this sign for my garage

Oh hey it’s a wretched spam bot/crypto scheme. And it has a fash adjacent icon
Name is explain*him*jim without asterisks
It’s the sort of thing to report!

Isabelle sits with her paws neatly folded because she is a proper lady

Isabelle has the BIGGEST CLAWS
I had to teach her to sleep with her back to me because when she stretched she’d scratch the shit out of me
So later you’d know if she liked you if she walked up, turned around, lay with her back to you. Affection was not looking at you, trusting you!

We are spoiling her as best we can. Tuna tuna tuna in my forms

Hey all! Please look at my perfect cat. She is so fluffy. I’m going to miss her so much

I *was* going to wipe this Anki Cozmo's memory, erasing its ability to recognize its previous users. I found myself unable to!
So, Chloe, Nathan, Kelly, Jose, Vanessa, please know Cozmo is in good hands, fully functional and they remember you!

Is the last line going to be “Chicago” ?

Who’s that Pokémon?!

They’re electric type but were almost fire type

Not to be that guy but are these the kind of ads you mean to serve?

I am impressed at Marco's pizza version of the charity squeeze that's not even St. Jude's, or a kitten shelter, it's just straight up "Donate to us! Just send several dollars to the Marco's Foundation! Scrub!"

Good thing Junior Achievement is trademarked! You can sue to stop seniors and offspring

Here’s the nicest kip up I’ve done in the ring in years!

Well! Turns out if the silicone sock on your Bambu A1 is a bit torn, maybe you should get a new one! I didn’t know how much they are until now and I understand if $3 is prohibitively expensive
But
the whole hot end, the fans, and the tool block are *slightly* more expensive

I found a much cheaper blood testing method. It too only requires a few drops of blood, and can be performed by any pilot who is carrying a source of heat

Controls were big arcade buttons from Adafruit and Microcenter so they could handle what kids could dish out. Instead of more precise but *fragile* potentiometers. I also wanted them spaced apart so that that kids would have to cooperate to control the arm. Next time I'll triple that distance!

You can really feel the mania radiating off me in these photos. When the kids controlling the robot arm managed to sink the basketball through the hoop I leapt into the air and yelled very, very loudly.

I talked about how with a little care, time, and cleverness, you can repair things that otherwise would become e-waste. This included tiny MIPs robots, and a robot dog. Tragically the Roomba chorus was offline.
Oh and to remove the batteries for anything you're storing!

I built an interactive robot arm (Based on the InMoov open source android, with just a feeewwww modifications) for the Cedar Park Public Library. It was part of a robot petting zoo, which was educational and a chance for me to sing the praises of right to repair, and thrift store robots

I’m just trying to wash my hands. @badendingsfound.bsky.social WHERE IS THE SOAP
April 20, 2025 at 12:38 AM
Alright we’re getting there
April 11, 2025 at 2:57 AM
I really need to figure this out
