Okugi is fun as a character but I think the main reason to pull is because she gets cat animations #Endfield

It's 5 am at the airport and I'm doing the most Canadian thing I can think of here before grabbing my stuff to get out

Every time I travel I like to try local food atrocities... Like pizza hut in China has this... A pizza topped with durian, mango, and chilled cubes of coconut

I met a violin shop cat today and it was awesome despite the ridiculous heat index outside

one fun thing I bought in Japan was an edo kiriko glass to add to my ever growing collection of cups at home

Spotted a bug today just chilling very low on a tree. I assume it's a cicada of some sort but honestly have no clue

I'm not an idol group fan or anything, so I had no idea what a group of fans outside the NMB48 theater were up to until I looked it up later. Interesting way to end my brief visit to Japan

The scientists in Japan never stop to ask whether they should.

I'm used to shit finance posts about how much an investment in a stock some X years ago would be worth now, it's low effort fluff.. but this is a new load of bullshit

The views were of course terrible but it was sorta interesting to take the hakone ropeway during a light rainstorm... At some points it was just clouds, our lines, and a sudden car going the other direction

Late at night and had the most quintessential Japanese food experience... Gyoza that had no redeeming quality at all except they were 280yen a plate

phew.. just barely got through CC 20 for endfield

I don't post means but when I do it's likely a cat

Today we celebrate removal of the last ancient light switch on the property that I know about.... Also delicious cloth insulation 🙃

Lol it only took about 20 years but I finally (mostly) used up one of those assorted wood screw packs

took a few missteps due to screwing up threading the sewing machine... but got around to making a bean bag wrist rest (and an outside cover for said bag) to replace my mostly dying fake-leather one. at some point I need to stop eyeballing dimensions

Annnd gacha done

Finallllly cleaned up the lock pin mess I made... the last giant pile of green schlage pines were just too hard to quickly do by eye, so like the last hundred+ were all done by digital caliper.. one.. by. one...

doing a bigass rsync job to migrate the old NAS to a new one... first time I've actually maxed out the 1gbe port on the router for anything more than a burst

Making food the slow way

Unrepentant biting of the hand that feeds you

Nom

Guys I was given permission to buy a new toy so long as I promised to make deliciousness

yess finally got the bluesky DMs as notification functionality working >< debugging is a pain since it needs a functioning domain to to the auth

Took a shot at making some プリン today ... next time a bit less milk so it holds shape better and probably backing off the vanilla extract a bit

If only I could be so comfortable myself

I didn't dig into the guts of it since it's lunch break time, but the conclusion notes a more interesting interaction than the brief summary page let on

Shocked!!!

have to fix some 3d printed drive trays for the old synology because the STL I found has the screw mount holes in very slightly the wrong place... luckily i found a technical drawing from WD

i was playing w/ a tone generator in the browser to see if I can hear a 15khz tone (yes) but to make sure my HS5 speakers could PLAY the tone and not a harmonic, I used a calibrated mic to verify it was playing 15khz (it was). Also hearing 15khz at my age is supposedly rare?
