New oil versus same OEM oil with just 2600 miles on it. Good motivation for me to change early and often. Apple juice vs dark roast.

My middle schoolers are about to learn about how distance sensors work, then wire one into their @raspberrypi.com #Pico and use #Thonny.

About to wire up the @raspberrypi.com Pico and use MicroPython and Thonny to flash an LED with my middle schoolers.

Thursday nights in Palm Springs are awesome. streets closed off, live music, produce and craft fair, free admission to the art museum including DJ. Fantastic.

This #tinkercad Codeblocks design illustrates the concept of functions. The red shape on the bottom is the function, and it's "called" to form the orange parts. #makered #coding #3dprinting

A successful crumple zone crash test from this AM. 7th graders iterate their #3dprinting #tinkercad designs that plug into the yellow car. More effective crumple zones make the impact board move less. #MakerEd #EDUsky #steam @ubermeisters.bsky.social

Thanks so much for this! I use Prusa also, so this should be very helpful.
