Every time a pic of this book gets posted somewhere I get the urge to rewatch The Magicians because it reminds me of when Penny lost the ability to cast with his hands so the Librarians tried to teach him sphincter magic.

Microsoft did the June layoffs we knew were coming since January and pinned it on "AI cost savings" so that doing so would raise their stock price instead of lower it.

I appreciated that in SNW they called it out as an odd name when SF adopted it officially.

I didn't watch the sewage pipe much but I kept up my subscription for the next seasons of Corn and Asparagus, but when they raised the price I had to finally cancel.

What if Felis catus is an alien race that enslaved humanity (to play with our genitals) and the reason they all look strange in art from this period is because they hadn't finished adapting to earth yet?

I'm an 18, but I'm here to see if anyone is routinely Donald Ducking it in bed, with a 5, 10, or 15.

They gave Betty White the best lines in that movie.

I suspect that cleaning the glue off the textured sheets is a bigger pain in the butt than off the smooth. But I say that as someone who never tried to clean PVA off of PEI.

I don't know why my brain connected Trump's "a concept of a plan" and his obsession with Hannibal (Lecter, but I went with Smith), but here you go.

 

I used to think Bob was right, "a lot of numbers are divisible by 3" and so its a bad mnemonic. But, on the other hand, I have an easier time remembering the Belcher's anniversary than my own.

 

Surprisingly good quality for something from 80's cable TV.

In 2024 the first thing that struck me was that I can barely remember the last time I cared about what was in the mailbox.

 

A very early performance from TMBG, back when Letterman was still on NBC. February 1989 performing They'll Need a Crane

I love their old TV performances. Especially the Conan appearances. If there's an audience for it I'll post the best (video/audio) quality ones I can find, from time to time.

Stratasys is claiming infringements on patents it owns (included ones acquired from Makerbot) on things like purge towers, heated beds, and force detection. Many of them things common to most FFF/FDM 3D printers.

Its an interesting coincidence that this lawsuit against one printer maker is happening on the same day as a new product announcement (the Prusa MK4s) from another major printer maker.

In two complaints, filed in the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division, against six entities related to Bambu Lab, Stratasys alleges that Bambu Lab infringed upon 10 patents that it owns, some through subsidiaries like Makerbot (acquired in 2013). Among the patents cited are US9421713B2, "Additive manufacturing method for printing three-dimensional parts with purge towers," and US9592660B2, "Heated build platform and system for three-dimensional printing methods."

There are not many, if any, 3D printers sold to consumers that do not have a heated bed, which prevents the first layers of a model from cooling during printing and potentially shrinking and warping the model. "Purge towers" (or "prime towers" in Bambu's parlance) allow for multicolor printing by providing a place for the filament remaining in a nozzle to be extracted and prevent bleed-over between colors.

 

The SLAPP seems to working as intended.

An advertising industry initiative targeted by an Elon Musk lawsuit is "discontinuing" its activities and has deleted the member list from its website.

Stephan Loerke, the CEO of the WFA, wrote in an email to members, seen by Business Insider, that the decision was "not made lightly" but that GARM is a not-for-profit organization with limited resources.

Today, the House Judiciary GOP's official account on X called GARM being discontinued a "big win for the First Amendment" and a "big win for oversight." X CEO Linda Yaccarino also applauded the news.

 

Originally set to return in mid-June, Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams may be on the station until February, 2025.

During a press conference today, NASA representatives confirmed they have a contingency plan to bring astronauts Barry Wilmore and Sunita Williams home from the International Space Station (ISS) early next year. If they’re unable to leave sooner aboard the Boeing Starliner spacecraft that brought them there

Tests conducted at NASA’s White Sands Test Facility pointed to deformed Teflon seals being a potential cause of the Starliner’s thrusters failing, but the agency isn’t expected to make a final decision on whether or not Williams and Wilmore will return using Boeing’s spacecraft until mid-August.

 

I used the phrase "the unusual one" this morning, and half way through I started to hear it in Jen's voice.

What are some other favorite Jen moments?

Back in the 00s there was a Canadian nature show called The Nature Nut (hosted by John Acorn) that did an episode of dedicated to beavers. It featured a catchy kids tune Big Wet Rodent Day that got some internet attention back then... mostly in kids music circles- never mind what age I was. At some point people decided this celebratory day was July 26th and we'd celebrate the beavers, nutria, coypu, and alike every year.

Full Episode of the Nature Nut episode in question
Same episode, timestamped to the original song

With beavers large and muskrats small
We stop to celebrate them all
The glory of a beaver dam
That makes you say I am (that makes me say I am)
A big wet rodent fan.

 

Biden delivered remarks from the Oval Office outlining his decision not to seek reelection, his first on-camera remarks since making that announcement on Sunday. In addition to explaining why he is ending his candidacy, he listed off his priorities for his remaining time as president.

“And I’m going to call for Supreme Court reform, because this is critical to our democracy,” Biden said.

Multiple outlets have reported that Biden is considering proposals to establish term limits for Supreme Court justices and an enforceable ethics code for those on the high court.

 

As an AWS focused solutions/systems architect, I've been feeling this for the last 10ish months too. I attended the first 9 re:Invent conferences (up until Covid upended things) but I was glad I didn't attend last year; and re:Inforce sounds like it was even worse.
