DIY magnetic dust filter installed! Made from air conditioner filter mesh with tesa brand woven PET wire loom tape folded in half lengthwise as the edging. The case is aluminum so adhesive backed steel plates were used to give the magnetic tape something to stick to. Much better than kits online.

Made my own magnetic PC case dust filter from scratch using a piece of replacement air conditioner dust filter mesh, tesa 51036 wire loom tape for the edges, and adhesive-backed magnetic tape. Just waiting on the adhesive steel plates 'cause my case is aluminum. But it sticks to the fridge good.

A rectangular piece of black puckered dust filter mesh like that used in air conditioners. Woven PET polymer webbing tape used for automotive wire loom wraps has been folded in half over the edges to prevent fraying and stretching. A vertical length of magnetic adhesive-backed tape has been run along either end.

Fun fact--the swords used by the Browns at Pottawatomie were described as "broadswords" and the US M1832 Foot Artillery Sword is most likely the weapon in question.

A photograph of a US M1832 Foot Artillery Sword. The sword is vaguely based on the ancient Roman gladius, with a cast brass hilt: the cross guard, scaled grip, and oblate pommel all being one integral piece, the tang having been fastened with three iron dome-headed rivets. The short and broad blade features a slight waist to its forte, with a short double fuller. The foible features a detached single fuller running to within about 3 inches of the point. A leather scabbard with a single seam and a brass throat and chape is placed next to it.

Happy Pottawatomie Day to those who celebrate.

My good chippy buddy. 🐿💕

Absolutely loving that visual. These didn't usually have bayonets and when they did they were either spring catch ones or plug bayonets but I'm just imagining an Ottoman Empire rifle being flown like that. They seem like very aerodynamic flintlocks lol

“To live at all is miracle enough.” ― Mervyn Peake

“To live at all is miracle enough.
The doom of nations is another thing.
Here in my hammering blood-pulse is my proof.

Let every painter paint and poet sing
And all the sons of music ply their trade;
Machines are weaker than a beetle’s wing.

Swung out of sunlight into cosmic shade,
Come what come may the imagination’s heart
Is constellation high and can’t be weighed.

Nor greed nor fear can tear our faith apart
When every heart-beat hammers out the proof
That life itself is miracle enough.”
― Mervyn Peake, Peake's Progress: Selected Writings and Drawings

My good little buddy. 🐿

I need to get a real action cam. Holding my phone with one hand as I mow is workable, but awkward. 😅 #Scything #Mowing

CalyxGoblin 🔞@calyxgoblin· May 10

Mowing time. I designed this American pattern blade myself, and it was forged in Austria to my specifications. #Scything #Mowing

Yeah I think it's mostly that the timescale you operate on is a little longer than other creators they probably follow so they check in whenever they remember to instead of routinely. When I've shared pages of it from your Facebook posts I've had people comment the same way and I'm like--

On a related note I just Lucky Traded a friend for this lovely lady.

Thanks for the chance! Here's my partner and I! If I'm the lucky winner I'll pick one of us lol

It's wild violets season once again, which meant--of course--that it was burger time.

What a sweet little baby!

A chipmunk resting its hands on my fingertips, its cheeks stuffed with peanuts.

CalyxGoblin 🔞@calyxgoblin· May 7

Awwwww yiss. It's chippy o'clock. 🐿

A chipmunk stuffing it's buccal bag of holding with peanuts, standing on my thigh while it eats from an open palm.

The chipmunk has eaten or carted off all of the peanuts, and is searching for more, investigating the now-empty open palm.

A fresh handful of peanuts has been supplied, and the chipmunk is once more standing upon my thigh as it gobbles up peanuts from my open hand.

Its belly and cheeks full, alike, the chipmunk leaps in a blur of stripey action away from my hand and out of frame.

Just need protection.

That sure was one of the Directs of all time.

The top panel has been titled "Nintendo about to hit play at 2:59 PST" and the bottom label being titled "Nintendo reading the comments at 3:01 PST."

Scored a white whale of a trade today. I finally have a shiny female Braixen.

Revamped my fan curves and the new build is now whisper quiet. The Arctic P14 Pros are absolute beasts and can move serious air, but need manual reining in to keep quiet. Let the mobo auto-set the curve and it'll get excessively fast and loud because of its high max rpm.

Oh I mean compared to modern live-edged swords! The aesthetic of modern examples is very different from that of antiques in certain ways that are a little hard to describe, but most especially in the fittings. One sees similar differences between Revolutionary War hangers and modern replicas.

An antique jian with plain fittings of the sort used in training or practical warring usage.

A modern functional jian with the aesthetic markings of a modern piece. The blade is of slimmer proportions and the fittings of low definition and inelegant sculpting, though done with a higher degree of technical skill, if lower artistry.

My copy of @dresdencodak.com's phenomenal Dark Science vol.1 showed up yesterday and it's GORGEOUS. The last time I was this hyped for a book I bought to arrive it was a signed limited anthology of @stevepurcell.bsky.social's Sam & Max! So chuffed to have this on the bookshelf.

New KVM is kicking the old one's ass so far despite being an alphabet soup brand. Loving that it has a dedicated power button.

The ssd for my new compy finally showed up, so time to play the waiting game while the little salvaged laptop drive I was limping along with clones itself.
