Zack's Gridfinity vids were the reason I bought a printer in the first place so Thangs was my first stop, and I love that their search also indexes Printables/Thingiverse/Cults3D/etc.

Printables has the best UI and community engagement though. Seriously, in 2023 there's no excuse for your website not having a dark mode option.

Even aside from the temptation to use offsets to kick the can down the road for reduction targets, the rampant abuse of carbon credits make this absolutely the right decision.

Good to know, thanks!

I'm currently halfway through Tchaikovsky's Shadows of the Apt series and I'm enjoying the plot but finding his writing style a bit tedious at times - excessive rehashing of events that happened like two chapters ago, overembellished emotional dramatics, and painstakingly spelling out every single character's internal monologue like it's a Jane Austen novel.

I know CoT was written later, so I'm wondering if his tone/style has developed a bit? He has cool ideas, I'm just wishing he'd trust the reader enough to get a bit more 'show, don't tell' with his writing...

about 2m-ish I guess? Our eldest miiight be able to make it up there if he wanted to, but he's a timid momma's boy with no interest in venturing out of his safe space. His little brother would if he could, but he's built like a kitbull - all shoulders and stumpy legs, not exactly made for jumping :)

Our two cats get supervised time in the backyard every couple of days - we used to put them in harnesses until we moved to a place with high enough fences that they couldn't get out even if they wanted to.

Mostly they just wanna chew grass for 15 minutes and maybe investigate a random plant bed, and they quickly learned that if they come back inside when called they get treats :)

I've been on Pulsar since Atom retired and I love it. I'm mostly doing AsciiDoc with a bit of HTML, CSS, JS, J/CSON, and OAS/YAML.

Some of our team switched to VSCode but I prefer Pulsar's UI and workflow, and especially the multicursor support. Obviously it's still under active development to tidy up leftover cruft from the fork, and there are a few more AsciiDoc-specific features I'd love to add without resorting to custom scripts, but overall it's my favourite editor by far.

Last week's episode of No Such Thing As A Fish had some wonderful facts about this sport, including that the top competitors can jump high enough to clear the first two fences at the Grand National steeplechase.

 

Interesting rundown of the whole Meta/Threads/Fediverse situation so far. Not a lot of new information but might be a handy primer for curious newbies.

Mostly sharing for this prime bit of W3C mailing list sass in response to Meta software engineer Ben Savage's self-introduction:

“The company you work for does disgusting things among others. It harms relationships and isolates people. It builds walls and lures people into them. When that doesn't suffice, brutal peer pressure does … That said, welcome to the list, Ben.”
