Met up with my good friends today for just some hanging out. Watching TV and chatting mainly. Normally we drink a lot of alcohol at these things but today I stayed completely sober. I had just as much fun tbh.

Is it just me or are a lot more people sticking their hands/arms out the window whilst driving these days? I’ve noticed it a lot more on UK roads recently.

Long shot, but anyone throwing away an old electric toothbrush? I need the electric motor for a project

Great night at the football in Swansea. Entertaining match and crowd full of energy, despite a 4 - 1 hammering by Italy. Excited to see the Wales team at the Euros this summer.

Is there a German word yet for the separation anxiety felt when away from the 3D printer for a day or so? I don’t like the thought of not being able to design and make *exactly* what I need at any time.

I also designed and printed this personalised food bowl for my sister’s dog. I am going to coat it in food-safe resign.

I hecking love having a 3D printer to make things like this. Also hecking love the geniuses that can design things like this. It’s a case with a retractable and lockable cover. Here’s the model btw makerworld.com/models/1325572

I thought this just might be a conspiracy theory among my pro nuclear colleagues, but no: it looks like an over dependence on renewables really did play a Major contributing factor to the grid destabilisation in Spain and Portugal recently.

Getting stressed with my 3D printer (Ender 3 V2) and I’m getting to the point of wanting to chuck it out and get a new one. It stopped talking to OctoPrint a while back. Now I can’t seem to get my models to print in the right place. Not sure if it’s the Firmware or something with my slicer.

Great article here from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social on how we can make food supply in the UK more secure. Relax the ridiculous standards producers require for flour and other inputs. Switch to a mostly plant based diet. Reduce the reliance on fertilisers.
1. Reading some of the comments beneath this week's column, I'm struck once again by how fiercely resistant many people are to understanding how our food is produced, how it reaches us and how the system works. This willed ignorance is lethal. Short🧵

Britain’s food supply is precarious – and Trump’s chaos is spreading. I have a plan. Do you? | George Monbiot
I’ve started a stockpile, but that isn’t the answer. If crisis strikes, the government needs a strategy to protect us all, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Unless surplus biomass is pyrolized to charcoal, which is stable for centuries. One person working full time can sequester a ton per week this way, off of ~100 hectare sustainably, or roughly the carbon budget of a family of 4 (US). Bit of a stretch but not impossible!

A good friend of mine is hiking up a mountain without the aid of technology in order to raise money for the homeless. Would you mind chipping in? Thanks!

Have you ever run a Python script with your hands clasped in prayer? I’m not a religious man, but that’s exactly what I just did. Not sure my mental health can take any more errors today?

I’ve been using some ray tracing software at work to automate the modelling of a microwave transmission system. Some of the images it produces are spectacular, like some abstract work of art.

Ever since I had a hernia repair operation 6 weeks ago, I’ve been farting almost uncontrollably. Really big, smelly farts. I’ve been mostly at home resting in this time, luckily. I hope it dies down soon or I may never be able to go to a public place again. Certainly not the office.

Structure #1 in my 30 Brutalist structures in 2025: Tŷ Pont Haearn in Cardiff, Wales. Built in 2005 so a bit late to strictly be part of the Brutalist architectural movement. However, it uses many construction methods commonly used in the architectural style. Now a student accommodation building.

I’ve made a realisation about myself in the past few days: I have really low confidence in myself and my abilities. A fear of failure really holds me back and seems to be why I spend a lot of time procrastinating. This must be why my work actually improves sometimes when I’ve been drinking

China appears set to become the world's first clean tech hegemon, their global influence & domestic economy secured through a network of minerals, batteries, EVs, solar, wind & nuclear production & exports. Meanwhile, the US under Trump tries to hang on to its role as 20th century petro-hegemon. 🔌💡
