I think he kinda looks like Tom Hanks as Walt Disney…

I think the risk would be that the canoes *are not* on a track. I went on the canoes for the first time just a couple of years ago. It was missing a few features - the rapids(?) - and seemed focused on making everyone row (though I’m sure most people would stop rowing just to look around.)

I think a lot of folks have internal ad blockers - we remember things the way we want to remember them rather than the way that they actually were.

I'm working on a Laminar Flow Fountain Nozzle project and made a 3D Printable parametric "straws" section. I can resize the walls, hex diameter, overall diameter. It's beautiful, but results in a 2-3+ day long print. OTOH, I can make a solid object, print infill without a top or bottom in 14hrs.

In a moment of perfect timing, right as Sallah and Indy are lifting the Ark out of its resting place, a gust of wind blew through my open window. It was a great confluence of experience. I kind of wonder why 4D movie experience never took off.

The cost is still winding its way to the consumer. Businesses can't absorb it, so they'll increase prices. Consumers will either bear the cost or go without. I suspect we'll see a lot of lost sales and closed businesses. Federal revenue will drop. We'll see it probably at the start of next year

Me too - I literally gasped.

I love this! What kind tools did you use to put this together? I recall a guy at a tech meetup about 15 years ago showing a projection mapping tool he'd put together (in Adobe Flash, of all things) but I think the space has grown a bit since then :)

I'm working on a Disneyland project and looking at maps. I don't think I have ever appreciated how close some of the spaces are. Less 100 feet between Tropical hideaway and Carnation Cafe. It really is a triumph immersion that you don't feel it in the least.

A second attempt at my keyboard board was almost perfect... I put the RP2040 on upside down (That darn logo tripped me up!) I attempted to repair it with hot air, but made a mess of things...

I shall try again, maybe tomorrow.

This is my assumption. When I was in Automotive and we were working on localization for the infotainment system, the layout was also (mostly) RTL for Arabic, whereas other languages went LTR.

I’m pretty sure this is a portrait of Barbara Streisand… it was on Wikipedia.

The subtotals of a receipt, denoting sales, tariff, and shipping amounts.

The subtotals of a receipt, denoting sales, tariff, and shipping amounts.

I frequently order electronics components from a state-side supplier. The tariff in this receipt is from the first Trump Administration's tariff's. If I had ordered this from China directly, I would have avoided the tariff cost due to De Minimis exceptions, but those are going away too.

My wife described this kind of activity as being the responsible, loving, compassionate parent to the child you were because the adults around you weren't. I've found it to be an incredibly empowering way to care for myself. (Though mine has not been therapeutically directed)

You can leave me, and about 70 million other voters, out of this "we", @newyorker.com.

*We* warned you, over and over and over. *We* lived through January 6. *We* listened to his speeches and believed him. So leave us out of this, and hold the people who chose this, on purpose, accountable.

An β€œindexed stop” is a stop at a particular given position. This could be something like a loading position for a Ferris wheel or bringing a car up to the next available position to load or unload passengers. It’s different from a stop which is β€œstop all motion right now”.

I started going through my internal list and noticed a surprising correlation. Then I thought "Oh right, he grew up here too..."

Even though I've been to the park many many times, my first time in the Canoes was only a couple of years ago. Great attraction.

I associate it most closely with Frontierland just because The Grand Canyon correlates to that. But I also don't really think of it being in a land. I also don't think of the train belonging to a land (though thinking on the Train, I mostly associate it with Main Street USA)

Well done @booker.senate.gov. That was not only an impressive feat, but a great lesson in civics and the importance of character in upholding The Constitution.

The more projects that I do, the better I get at documenting stuff as I go. Often, when I want to write a blog post about something that I'm working on I find I have to go back and capture pictures and try to recreate representations of stuff from "the middle" of the journey.

I just watched a 40 minute documentary on Super Mario Bros. 3 speed running. For all its faults, there are a lot of things I enjoy about living in the future.

I've enjoyed my Pi Picos, I'm just getting started on my first RP2040 design. I've not done any compiled languages on them - it's all been MicroPython or CircuitPython.

Issues that are appearing in the 2040, or are these specific to the newer silicon?

So I just submitted a complaint to the SEC about US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick encouraging people to buy Tesla Stock on Fox News, and I am legitimately anxious about retaliation. Any prior administration I wouldn't be worried about it, but these guys...

This is not something I’m remotely interested in. Having the blanks in the story gives a fullness to it. The mistake (for instance) with Solo was filling in the details of a story we’d heard. It should’ve been a whole new Han Solo adventure with all new quips about other Han Solo adventures.

I went to the Apple Store to take a look at the new Blue Sky MacBook Air. It is as everyone says it is. Barely blue in the Apple store. It is blue only if you’re looking at it from an angle if you’re standing immediately over it, it looks silver. This laptop is as much blue as Lacroix has a flavor.
