Oh, hey, a Nirnroot!

Confused but not dazed. Definitely not a nerd. Definitely.

Me, looking forward to a summer of not trying to get my teen to do much of anything:

My teen's anxiety:

Replaced crunches with dead bugs in my workout and I might look like an idiot doing them, but holy shirtballs do I feel them afterwards.

I've had a tab open in my browser to some bass tabs for, like, two weeks. Thinking that if I see it enough, I'll actually remember to pick up my bass during some chunk of free time and give it a whirl.

I have not.

But I'm not closing that tab yet, either!

when your kid says "hey, can you help me fix this thing…" and you say "sure!" but then you can't but then you say "well, leave it out for me and I'll look at it in the morning" and then you do and then when the kid wakes up you get to say "hey, guess what, I fixed it!"

I dunno what happened in my life to make me this way, but every single time I'm asked to do a code review, there's always this little voice in the back of my head saying "Make sure you catch the intentional mistake they put in to check if you're paying attention!" Even when it's, like, the entry level guy we hired last week.

there's a really funny 3d printing controversy going on btw.

if you don't know, there's a very popular 3d printing model out there called "benchy". this is used for benchmarking your 3d printer because it's a difficult print and will help test it out.

this is so widely used that people make their own little versions of it, remixing the 3d model to make benchy look cooler and stuff. however, a new company owns the benchy license. they are sending copyright takedowns to all those who wrongfully uploaded the benchy model.

of course, this is pissing off the 3d printing community greatly. everyone loved benchy and have used it for years. so someone on reddit decided to make a new model that is designed as a 3d printing stress test. one that works a lot like benchy, and people are freely able to edit it as they please. you know what they called it?

boaty.

I'm undecided how I feel about my latest hitch cover design. If I had to do it again, I'd probably just do the head.

You can teleport one (1) single individual live seagull into any time or place in history. Where would you choose to put it to best fuck with peoples' heads and cause as much confusion as possible?

I'd pick Tutankhamun's tomb, just behind the sealed door, 30 seconds before the seal is broken and the tomb is opened. Imagine throwing that into the curse myth - just as these people are about to crack open the greatest cold one in history, knowing that this is what they'll be known for from hereon, they open the door that must not be opened, and out scatters a frantic, deeply baffled bird, entirely healthy and intact, fluttering away never to be seen again, with no apparent way of how it got in.
