Lindsey Halligan has a broadcast journalism degree from Regis University in Denver. I am confident they covered how "off the record" works.
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

(Old picture, I did indeed WFH today.)
Even my little flip dot board got hit by the AWS outage so I couldn't update my status to WFH today!
Made you a template. Just need someone with some art skills to finish it.
see if its warm to the touch
If I had a nickel for every time I did something stupid, I'd have $250,000 in nickels.
Yes, please answer no to all further queries about using the AI tool.
Cool! Now that you mention it, maybe it was Unreal Engine. I loved the article in American Cinematographer on the Mandolorian. Neat stuff.
Kessler Crane has camera motion control products that integrate with Blender. Blender animates and renders the scene then moves cameras to capture live action matching the scene in real time. I'll never need anything like that but it's still cool AF.
Colorado has both zeros and ohs on their license plates. Zeros are rare. I have one. When I moved plates to new truck, the clerk entered an oh likely out of habit. Was like that for a year until I couldn't renew it online. We have competent gov tho so a 5 minute call and it was resolved.

My phone doesn't say “lizard” every time you push the lizard button so I built a single-purpose box that does! Build your own using @adafruit.com QT Py and Audio BFF boards, #3DPrinting, and @circuitpython.org! bikerglen.com/blog/lizard-... @hackadayofficial.bsky.social @hacksterio.bsky.social
Thanks. I think I've built 7. Will build 1 more then likely switch to the SMM. Off-the-shelf is faster than soldering and easier for others to replicate.
Although I did upgrade my entire Wi-Fi network recently so might be worth another try.
Mix of WLED, CircuitPython w/ MQTT, or FastLED and some Arduino code to receive Art-Net. Anything over Wi-Fi isn't great for high-speed pixel effects sync'ed across many devices so tend to use these for slower changing background / ambiance effects.
I've been building my own Neopixel controller boards with Xiao modules and 5V level translation logic. Yesterday, I discovered the @adafruit.com Sparkle Motion Mini. I ordered one and am eagerly anticipating using it my next 3D-printed Neopixel project! www.adafruit.com/product/6160
Another case where proper punctuation makes all the difference!
Highlights: learn how to 3D print a domed hexagon speaker grill and debounce cheap buttons using a small state machine!
