It was wild trying to polish a cocktail like this without getting too shitfaced while also knowing the goal was to immediately scale it up to 2 gallons. Probably the funnest part was watching everyone's faces as they tried our shitpost cocktail and went "wait, it's...good?!"
Also JFYI - I blocked this dork and reported the account to Bluesky, but there was apparently somebody watching this thread and trying to spear phish off of it (notice the zero in place of the O):
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but some of you could stand to travel a little more.
It’s good to see businesses making it safe for people who’re still coming to important realizations about themselves.
This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.
They’re harder to find but they’re out there! This smol unit is the ATOM XL, released by Unihertz only a few years ago. It runs for more than one day on a charge and also packs an FRS-capable digital radio chipset! Shown here sitting atop the Android flagship model it REPLACED.
Inside the vehicle, or outside? Because if we’re primarily interested in smiles inside the vehicle, may I none-too-humbly submit:
Additional update: it’s light, here’s the wiring stuff with all three runs terminated!
…if you’re using naked strip, you can get 3M VHB double-sided tape in the same width as the strip, and adhere it to most things with that. (If there’s sticky on the back of the strip already, don’t count on using it, it’s usually crappy.)
Feit does decent stuff, but their packaged consumer product isn’t all that great for the price. For this, you actually want to go to your favorite online retailer and get these guys, because it turns out a bunch of hot dots in a line is NOT the best you can do. This is 3000K continuous LED string.
Today’s plan is to go back and finish hiding all the wiring for the left run there, extend the strip a little bit further, add the last planned run for the project, and finish polishing up the wiring. The wiring has gotten pretty shiny already:
It doesn’t ALWAYS happen, but sometimes I’ll get a project idea for something at the house and start working on it and it comes out BETTER than I imagined. This is so far about the farthest that happy gap has opened for me.
I don’t know how I end up so blessed, but my nearest neighborhood grocer carries the ENTIRE selection of TWO different local salsa makers, and on the hot end, ain’t neither of them interested in fucking around. This is salsa that can almost keep up with the local Good Thai Joint, it’s pretty serious
Remember kids, no matter how cool it might be when WE’RE there, the Alexis Park is still the Alexis Park. DON’T lean on the handrails.
Nah cops - whoever Julio is, he’s a) barricaded, b) having a really bad night, and c) needs to come out with his hands up.
The best thing I can say or show is this, though: I had one fall off of a forklift I was driving and get drug down a quarter mile of asphalt when I was in the USAF. As far as I know, this case is still in use.
Just in case anyone forgot what the end game for AI is, this was prominently on display in SF this past weekend.
Additional, slightly more intentional jeans content. I keep forgetting the iPhone is actually kinda good at macro!
Look, I don’t know who needs this, but here’s a picture I accidentally took of my blue jeans while setting my phone down
