I got these smaller bags for usb. I keep them by my chair downstairs.
The photo shows three mesh zippered pouches, each labeled and containing different types of cables. The front pouch with an orange zipper is labeled "USB-C to USB-C" and holds dark-colored cables. Behind it, a yellow-zippered pouch is labeled "USB-A to USB-C" and contains cables with some orange coiling visible. The third pouch with a yellow zipper, partially visible on the left, is labeled "Apple Watch" and appears to hold white cables. The pouches are sitting on a brown leather surface with a wooden floor in the background.

iOS made a memory titled “The Great Outdoors” and the first photo is a screenshot from the video game Star Wars Galaxies circa early 2000s

You know what to do
The image shows an email draft with the subject line "I found this scam online." The email is addressed to scam@mcafee.com and is from an iCloud email address. In the body of the email, the sender criticizes McAfee for using AI-generated content, pointing out that the image in question features an apparent error—three arms on a woman forming a heart shape with her hands. Below the text, there is an embedded image from a sponsored McAfee advertisement that shows a woman standing on a beach at sunset, smiling and making a heart shape with her hands, but with an extra, unrealistic third arm. I used ChatGPT to generate this description :)

It'ssssssssssssssse tiki time!
This photo depicts the interior of a tiki-themed bar or lounge. The setting features vibrant, colorful lighting with hues of pink, purple, and blue, creating a lively and tropical atmosphere. The ceiling is adorned with woven bamboo or straw-like materials, and various decorative hanging lanterns in different shapes and colors add to the exotic ambiance. Behind the bar, bottles of liquor are neatly arranged on shelves, and a large, vivid screen of a tropical island scene with mountains and ocean is prominently displayed. Patrons are seated at the bar and tables, while bartenders are busy preparing drinks. The overall vibe suggests a fun, relaxed environment with a tropical, island-inspired decor.

I don't believe people think about these screens for more than three seconds.
Screen lists precondition in three places, two say off and one says on. Two are icons one is a row with a downward caret.

This clip from Get Smart hits way too close to home.

It is too close of a fit due to printing at the maximum printer size but it works for now. A little table shelf so the laptops are not directly stacked on top of each other.
This photo shows a wooden shelf with two stacked laptops. Surrounding the laptops are various items. The floor is wooden with a polished finish, and there is a white cable extending from the left side of the image. The overall setting suggests a workspace or home office. This photo shows a wooden shelf with two stacked laptops. The bottom laptop is sitting on the shelf, while the top laptop is sitting on a red 3D printed shelf that covers the lower laptop. The photo shows a small, rectangular, red platform with four short legs. It appears to be placed on a light brown, leather-like surface, which might be a piece of furniture like a couch or chair. The background includes a wooden floor with a glossy finish. The object looks like a miniature table or stand.

So I goofed and got a 30" deep shelf vs a 30" high shelf, so I made the best of it as any engineer would.

This photo shows a corner of a kitchen or dining area with a tiled floor. On the left side, there's a black metal wire shelving unit filled with various items. The top shelf has several bottles of orange soda. Below that are boxes and canned beverages. Leaning behind the shelf is a colorful painting featuring tropical drinks (actually flamingos but I found this funny). To the right of the shelf, there are stacked cases of Mountain Dew and Coca-Cola. In front of the cabinet, there are several bottles of juice lined up on the floor. A coffee machine is partially visible on the kitchen counter next to the beverages. Light streams in through a glass door with blinds, adding natural light to the scene.

And now the (expensive) beauty of Zelda, even when flawed. Missed allocating space for my VR controllers, so a trip to Oregon, a nice early dinner with Elizabeth, and now I have room for the controllers AND a drawer for tools, plates and accessories.
Added a drawer for tools, plates, and an additional shelf to fit VR controller charging without changing the top rail.

I got the new Elfa hung (I hate that they changed the top rail and standards, breaking decades of compatibility) but it is the easiest to install, most flexible system out there.

Will start printing clips for tools to hang under the shelves.
Two shelves with 3d printer supplies hang on rails

Our distiller's basin after distilling a gallon of water that had been filtered by ZeroWater filters (the spots appear to be heat damage that I have asked about) and the second image is after distilling a gallon of tap water.
Dark spots and dark steel show heat damage Gross calcium and other minerals left behind

Ben is working hard!
The photo shows a stainless steel water distiller with a black top next to a glass carafe filled with water. The carafe has a black handle and a black lid. The distiller is plugged in and sits on a kitchen countertop.
