A decaying light blue Tioga rim strip after thirty years of service

A decaying light blue Tioga rim strip after thirty years of service

What happens to bicycle maintenance deferred?

Does it dry up like a rubber rim strip
Baking thirty years
Against an aluminum wall?

Does it sit there
Brittle and forgotten?
Until some Velox cotton
Puts it to rest

If you try to print with PCL filament (low-temp plastic that works in low-temp/kid-safe 3d pens like the ones from 3d doodler) that has been sitting around for five years, you're asking for a bad time.

(Luckily the solution is easy! But it was odd that "buy new filament" wasn't in any of the docs)

screenshot from Claude reading:

Q: why is "Dario-Ware: Get it together" funny. I don't get it.

LLM comment: Acknowledged the pun's weakness and resolved to be candid

A: Honest feedback: it's barely funny. The entire pun rests on "Dario" rhyming with "Wario," which is approximately one step above a kindergarten-level phonetic substitution. There's no deeper structural cleverness — no double meaning, no semantic collision that makes your brain do satisfying work.

I enjoy this concept: Everyone (ok it’s all just one scammer) on the group sms is in on the scam except for the target. The others all mock the original scammer and present some other dontscamme phishing link that the target falls for.

If you use cmd-2/3/4 to select browser tabs and have found that Google Sheets has started to steal those keyboard commands to apply formatting changes to cells, here’s how to fix it:
Turn off this setting: Help->Keyboard Shortcuts->“Enable compatible spreadsheet shortcuts”

It looks to me like there's a bit too much front/direct video lighting, likely due to having set up the lights for daytime conditions. This segment was shot during sunset hours (coyote time!) so the lighting conditions were rapidly changing.

Your friends are still acting like everything is normal in America. What do you do? All Americans live in a “dual state.” Here’s what that means — and how to help others see it.

You are living in a "dual state." Acting morally begins with understanding that.

‘We’re not safe right now’: Woman’s dramatic ICE arrest ignites fear in Maine’s immigrant communities - The Boston Globe When ICE arrested Fátima Lucas Henrique, the video of her screaming as agents pulled her from her vehicle resonated across the state.

just what we need in maine: one less nurse.

to the ”they’re just deporting criminals” people: go fuck yourselves. you’re every bit the monster that ICE is.

to my friends helping to protect the targeted populations: i am so very proud of you.

6 trains within a 20 minute window to make the 113 mile journey from Osaka to Nagoya in about 50 minutes (avg 130 mph).

This is normal. On a holiday.

There’s actually plenty of parking to the south by the apartment complex, but drivers are usually too lazy to make the extra effort. (And avoid peak boba hour)

Plus it’s reasonably walkable for a good ~20k of Snv residents

Does aws deliberately misspell “INASTLL” to keep it noticeably different from “UNINSTALL”, as shown here on the #graviton server (i8g, graviton4). As seen at #aws #reinvent

Over this Thanksgiving one of my friends discussed this with me and said, "how can you handle the fact that it costs nothing to regurgitate misinformation and costs you endless hours to review and refute it?"

But to me it's not new, with AI, it's the same problems

Reassembly Reality Check:
You cannot meaningfully reassemble the turkey. What you'd have:

20+ irregularly-shaped cooked discs
Bone fragments protruding
No structural adhesion
More resembles "turkey jenga" than roasted bird

Closest Real-World Analog:
This is essentially creating turkey steaks—which already exists as a cooking method:

Turkey breast sliced into 1" steaks
Pan-seared 4-5 minutes per side
Common preparation, works well
Nobody pretends to reassemble it afterward

Time Comparison (12-lb Turkey):

Your method (parallel frying): 6-10 minutes cook + 20 minutes sawing/prep = 26-30 minutes
