This year my Butternut Squash and Swiss Chard were the drama queens. I expected it from the squash, but I never seen chard get all uppity like this year crop. Now that it is back to being cool the chard is exploding and I am looking forward to getting some.

It happens with a lot of things. I can't tell you how many weird edge cases I have found writing work process documentation which should be as easy as push button and a wait 10 sec as the equipment boots. And they all turn into at least another page of "If this, try this" notes.

Nice

Shields up and ready for Monday's #severe #weather

The first stormy night survived with only one Sungold tomato looking worse for wear. It was gusty (+40 mph) and rainy but almost no hail. So I will take the 4/10 of free rain water and keep punching out ASA clamps until I get the 14 I need to fully implement my plans. Tonight will be the real test.

But if it doesn't come out of the printer looking like an injection molded part, then it is literally unusable. /s

I think that hobby printers have taken such a jump forward in the last few years, that people are looking for any little things to justify one printer being better than another.

I feel the current administration saw this South Park clip and decided it was the perfect way to determine tariffs.

The only way to effectively mine $EGG today is with a H-3n cluster. But getting the seed money is what is the real killer.

Here is a clip of it running. Not speed up, and a meter stick is in the foreground if you want to time it yourself. For spending 45 mins on it, including the programming, it's not a half bad Electric Vehicle.

You wouldn't download a City, would you?

I really like this print, you can even see the Zombie Tower.

Is the STL available anywhere, as it's been a while since I have made it up to the Emerald City and would love to have a little printout of the downtown as well.

I like this idea. Isn't going to stop the rest of the house from watching it, but foozballs the devil anyways. Working on some coding or CAD work I am behind on, sounds like much more fun. Might even sign up for the #ESRI Spatial Analysis #MOOC and get started on that.

Just seeing that gets the Top Gear 2 theme playing in my head.

That Thing-o-matic could use some love....

Fun Fact: The print head on the TOM is a MK7 extruder which was only available for a few months before the release of the Replicator and it's MK8. The MK7 is more or less the same as the MK8 besides for the voltage of the heater cartridge; 12v vs 24v.

The Thing-o-matic was my first printer, and was my mobile printer until at least 2016. It's crazy how far we have come since the wooden printer era, and how magical those early printers truly were.

Ok that's freaking cool. I definitely will be adding this to my "things to print" STL folder.

My biggest complaint about the mini is how much room it takes up when fully set up with the provided spool holder.

Maybe not, but they have been a good force in a few cases. I know when the LTE spectrum sell was happening, they bid $1,234,567.89 for the spectrum that Version eventually won. As part of their bid they force/had the FCC add some "Open Network" requirements to the purchase.

I believe they removed "don't be evil" back around the time they became Alphabet. It's been all $$ since.
