I have printed about 200 of these so far, used about 1.5 spools of PLA, they are super loud.

If you have a 3D printer, consider making some for your local organizations. The one I gave these to is making kits for protesters and neighborhood watch groups.

Fabulous, now I can rely on AI to determine whether or not I am in pain. It's already becoming more difficult to manage my pain due to push back from doctors, this will be even worse, I imagine. I had to argue with my palliative care doc just to refill pain meds (30 pills for 30 days, barely enough)

This is bullshit, but also, yet another example of attempts to rely on technology to give supposed “objective” pain ratings while denying the most useful way to get that information: ask the person (or in the case of babies/toddlers, their parents), and actually believe them.

Major U.S. airports, including O'Hare and Midway, have refused to play a “public service announcement” from Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem at security checkpoints in which she blames Democrats for the federal government shutdown.

O’Hare, Midway Among Airports Refusing to Play Kristi Noem Video That Blames Democrats for Government Shutdown

The dispute highlights the remarkable push by the Department of Homeland Security to insert a political message into the airport security experience that virtually every air traveler must go through.

I explained this to my kid during a game when they were little.

1. No matter who is coaching, they love to run the ball right up the middle for zero gain or even a loss of yardage.

2. They will make you think that they have a chance, then completely shit the bed in the second half.

Pain was keeping me awake earlier, but now that I took a pain pill, I cannot sleep because I end up in a “twilight” feeling where I kind of sleep but wake up every ten minutes, look at the clock, and feel hopeless. I hate to take anything else. Thankfully I cancelled what I had to do tomorrow.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Sally, was your account hacked? Some asshole is using it to post some ridiculous bullshit that is making you look like a complete fool. You may want to change your password.

Reminds me of this letter:

A letter in reply to a ridiculous complaint to the Cleveland Stadium that reads
Dear Mir. Cox:
Attached is a letter that we received on November 19,
1974. feel that you should be aware that some asshole
is signing your name to stupid letters.
Very truly yours,
CLEVELAND STADIUM CORP.

My partner will never understand my love of MW. Turkey sandwiches after Thanksgiving, Costco rotisserie chicken sandwiches, ham sandwiches, even those cheap breaded chicken patties on a bun. All of them hit best with the Whip!

I know Janis Ian is still alive (not sure if she’s performing anymore), but imagine if George Carlin and Billy Preston were still around.

There were some great shows back then, the Paul Simon one stands out as a great one too. The first few years are available as complete episodes with music.

Even more impressive to me is the fluid and relaxed style on top of the absolutely insane tricks.
I injured myself pretty bad a couple times back in the day just doing basic shit on a ramp. This is fearless, unbelievable athleticism by one of the all time greats. What a treat to watch.

This 4 minutes of Bob Burnquist will melt your face. For my money he's the best vert skater in history (Sorry Tony Hawk and Danny Way) and everything he does is SO BIG. Fearless shit. The trick at the 2:36 mark might be one of the best in the history of skating
