I photographed these wild creatures yesterday.

Reminds me of one of my favorite handwritten signs I've ever seen. No need to be sorry, I think it might be for the best.

A handwritten sign on a door. Written in black sharpie on pink paper, it reads "I'm sorry but Toddler Drumming is canceled today Please come in and check out the Holiday Market though."

Apologies for the TikTok, but this is what I followed for the latching switch wiring. He just stuffs the wires into the male side from the PSU, I was classy and bought a crimper and plugs. www.tiktok.com/@techmakesar...

Cost sheet here. This is very mildly outdated, it turns out I didn't need the fan splitter, and I also ended up buying a molex crimping tool which I'm not counting in the cost. The big items are accurate.

UPDATE: I finally got it running last night. Installing Cachy was a pain in the ass, but most of that was because the DP cable I was using didn't want to display the desktop. I unlocked all 40 CUs, I'll monitor heat, but I played some Portal 2 and it was awesome.

All-in my build (including buying the BC250, and a 1tb gen3 NVMe chip, the two most expensive components) came in at $457. I budgeted about $12 for filament, and had to buy more screws than I needed, all of which is included in that final price.

Resurrecting to show off a worthy martini garnish. Pickled daylily buds.

Still got it.

The "Unc Test" with an Unc Score of 9, and a Youth Score of 91. It says that I am "Youth Coded" and that "You're tapped in. The aura is uncooked. Keep doing whatever you're doing."

#5 of 50 from the Jack Kirby Museum hangs proudly above my desk. It’s one of my most prized possessions. I don’t know where the original is, but it should hang in museums with the greats. Jack was one of the greats.

Went way off book and garnished with a sage leaf and flower.

A snail on a rock wall. The snail's shell is yellow, and the snail itself is stretched out of its shell, climbing vertically up the wall.

TFW you’re trying to enjoy a Kong and have Feelings at the same time.

An innocent cactus that Yzma poured the poison, the poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison, into, turning it, as it is wont to do, into a llama.

This reminds me of one of my favorite images EVER:

Francis@datafran· May 27

Nooo, the ones we get around here are friendly and adorable!

A garter snake living her best life, surrounded by pink flowers.

Francis@datafran· May 27

This is so great.

BEHOLD my accidentally color coordinated mechanical keyboard and desk setup. I really do like sitting here!

Okay, so this isn't technically Earth 2. They are canonically distinct, and I, a comic book nerd, know that.

An image of a panel from a Superman comic picturing Bizarro World! A cubical planet where Bizarro lives.
The text caption reads "Far out in space there exists the goofiest planet in the entire universe... The square Bizarro World! It is the home planet of the pathetic, stupid, Bizarro creatures who are imperfect duplicates of Superman and his friends..."

My XTEInk X3 arrived and it is very cool! I flashed Crosspoint onto it without issue and am currently transferring all my ebooks onto it. After that I can connect to my OPDS server to download new books!

Foraged, cooked, and ate some Japanese Knotweed shoots last night. Roasted most and sliced a few up to make into a simple syrup for cocktails. Thanks to @blackforager.bsky.social for the TikTok reminding me it’s that time of year!

The same image as the original post, but with a Dark Souls style health bar added. The name of the boss is "Bird???"

Happy Rex Manning Day to all who celebrate.

Oliver says hi to Gracie and Sallie.

A photo of an extremely ridiculous dog laying on his back on a gray blanket, hips splayed, he wants you to draw him like one of your French girls.

Um actually I believe if you look into it you'll find that The Warner Brothers, Yakko and Wacko, and the Warner Sister Dot invented this while singing the Acme song.

I recently spotted one somehow in Franklin Park in Boston! I had heard they danced around sunset, went to the park to look, and somehow managed to see one sitting stock still on the ground. Terrible iPhone 13 Mini photo, but it was still magical!
