Lego announces Smart Brick, the ‘most significant evolution’ in 50 years Starting with Lego Star Wars.

Looking forward to stepping on these with my bare feet.

My hike this last Saturday #Wisconsin

He'll have an unpaid intern be chained to the boulder instead

I really want to try this, looks delicious!

Good to see restaurant product developers turning to food cultures that know what they're doing, as opposed to VC-funded, influencer-touted SM darlings whose products taste like obfuscated laboratory-produced sadness.

Just found out @freecad.org has an account here. I love their software, it's a unique and very cool #CAD program. Plus it's free!

reach out? no. leech out.

3D modeling a ladder cage, why are #Solidworks 3D sketches so glitchy? Figured out a stable way to do it though!

They never can lay right in the center of the bed, can they? 😂

Wow I haven't lived in Milwaukee for a few years now, but still sad to hear, that was such a great station

I just did a fall season rewatch of Over The Garden Wall! Amazing show.

A giant pumpkin head with green streamers underneath surrounded by smaller painted pumpkin people. The sign in the window behind the characters reads, "Oh well....you'll join us someday." The characters are from the show Over the Garden Wall

The number of people rn who seriously believe we can all grow our own food if things get bad is truly alarming.

I went into this movie after reading bad reviews, and loved it!

"While it zips along at too fast a clip for much introspection, questions about identity and technology are never far from the surface" 💯

Agreed, it felt shallower than Legacy but made up for it in other areas.

Review: ‘Tron: Ares’ redeems Disney’s most underrated sci-fi saga Disney’s long-dormant “Tron” series returns with Jared Leto, style and vision, bringing fresh energy, stunning visuals and a timely dose of AI-era relevance.

As a lifelong fan of the #Tron franchise, I dug the latest entry quite a bit. Read my review for @sfchronicle.com:

I very much enjoyed it from start to finish. It definitely was not as deep as Legacy, but still a solid movie.

I am a big Evan Peters fan and he was 🔥 in this movie

Somehow Jared Leto was a perfect casting choice and I hate that fact 😂

This movie is shallower than the very philosophical Tron Legacy, and suffers from that.

I am GLAD this movie didn't try to be a direct sequel to Tron Legacy, I even think bringing back cast members other than Bridges would have been a mistake.

What did you think? 🙂

(3/3)🧵

Jeff Bridges made me smile, great to see him in this.

Evan Peters killed it, and this movie would not have been as good without him.

Jared Leto is good at playing a computer program gaining self awareness. It works.

Gillian Anderson was WASTED, a big shame.

I saw #Tron Ares tonight, and ENJOYED it.

Very cool movie, and having grid light vehicles in the real world was an excellent choice.

Imagine saying "profit always wins" and thinking that's a historically good thing for art, quality of content, working conditions, etc.

I just started watching the Murderbot show this week! Had no idea it was based on novels. I'm loving the show, how does it hold up to the books?

I saw a rare Cybertruck in my area driving down the freeway the other day. It was hauling a stack of very short boards that stuck way out of the bed.

I would say they sacrificed payload capacity for aesthetics, but the older pickup trucks had bigger beds AND looked better.

What a vehicle

Such a fun movie 🍿

Very cool, similarities between evolved nature and human engineering are always fascinating. Kinda makes you aleays feel like natural processes did it first/better

A view of a scallop head on. The valves have strong corrugations with angles eerily similar to the strengthening corrugations of a tin roof, shown below

Curator José Leal at the Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum takes wonderful pictures of shells. Here's a view head on of the corrugations of a scallop shell. Like a tin roof, the ribs increase the strength of the shell, and also lock the valves together so it can't be wrenched open by a predator! (281)

In technical college I had a teacher who talked about his vintage tractors 50% of the class. He would go on 8 hour rides along freeways.

We asked if he wore headphones or something for music and after looking at us like we were maniacs, he stated "I have the music of the tractor"

Probably will be implemented into everything, then slowly removed after a backlash, like giant touch screens replacing knobs in cars
