I’ve always liked the way he worked his hots and colds =)

Ah, yeah I don’t have that and I’m on PieFed. I tried what I thought would work, but it never seems to. Let me try again:

Shut the front door. I tried several times, no dice - this one? Come on!! Hahahaha!

Hahaha apologies by that I mean I know absolutely nothing about printing myself and we currently have zero setup because we’ve been on the move so much in our own lives. But I would love to figure out a way to setup something where I could get her even a small setup so she could tinker around. I just don’t even know where to start as in - what machine would I even get her that would be small yet functional enough to be enjoyable =)! But apologies, I talk like a 12 year old so I probably didn’t specify that. Hahaha!

Also how the hey do you post images here? Cause I tried a couple of times but it never worked @_@!!

Ah, well a) love the model setup and those ikea tables are god’s gift to this world (at least when pertaining to renters). And b) I meant more so models cause we’re starting from the bottom =)!

Absolutely love this! Do you know if there’s some kind of friend-esq thing on here? Else you know what I will do, I will just message you and put you in the logs and so if I need to reach out I can. Thank you!

Shut the front door! My wifey just popped in and I showed her your work and she got green with envy and for sure is starting to have a think about how to create some kind of modular setup. Any recommendations for something small form then if you’re working out of a closet? (I am also laughing because I once was a closet -> computer person and you do what you gotta do in life =P!)

Gunna pass those guys on and thanks a slew for everything even if we leave it at this =)!

Super cool, I’m gunna show the missus. She loves stuff like this. We’re renting, but I hope someday I can set her up with a whole workshop and she can tinker away all day and night. Because it’s what she loves most (as seen above). Any cool resources you’d like to point us towards? I’ll pass them on and maybe we can figure out some kinda “micro” studio we could implement in our current situation. I miss being in a major city, because I miss creation-spaces. While I am absolutely awful at this stuff (as previously stated) I am really good with pen and paper stuff. Stuff I can get my hands on. And loved hanging with with folks like you while just doodling away in spaces like that =)

Yeah I was gunna say some plants are toxic to certain pets. And if cats are super into destroying your plants it’s probably only a matter of time before they find yours. Although I am not sure if this is a ratio thing (like chocolate) or what - because I only know it. I don’t have any personally.

But also gj on this! I am not sure but did you add drainage? I know succulents need only a small amount of water so perhaps it’s not such a big issue. Just was the first thing I kicked around.

Yeah, you guys always amaze me. On account of being able to model things spatially in CAD-esq software. It’s a skill I never picked up on, and one that I really enjoy seeing in practice =)

Magnifique!

Ah, I was trying to understand what MMU was. Then I realized off of those ridges that this was a 3D printed model. I was looking at the “marbling” and imaging it was some sort of putty or something akin to sculpey. It looks both groovy and comfy and you did a great job =)

Yeah, I talked about that before too somewhere on here. If they tell you to fudge, you fudge because standing up gets you axed.

I mean tbh, if it’s tech from San Fran they actually are super about inclusive. At least any devs I’ve met from there, as it’s sort of woven into the cultural tapestry of the West Coast as a whole (which is funny considering it has had some exceptionally racist policies in the past). I think more so people just don’t realize what might be a thing needed to run the gamut of diversity because the face of STEM itself is relatively one sided in America. Probably just the face of corporate America as a whole, if we were being honest.

Oh for sure, you’re most right! I mean we see it replicated over and over and over again in our society in so many spaces how would the ripples not continue onward into cybernetics. Something I often think about is if it’s not/hasn’t happened to you, you don’t even tend to think about it. And by it, I mean being oppressed in some manner pertaining specifically to something you cannot change. They’re also cannibalizing the middle class. So in the end you really probably will just have the “global” ruling class and the “indignant” and “ungrateful” others who they must charitably coexist with. But I also think it’s like…the concept behind Deus Ex/Snowpiercer (Idk too many SciFi things don’t come at me with pitchforks). So like, sci-fi writers got one up on us.

But I always figure, if you want to remember you’ve been bought and sold as a whole (no matter your class, ethnic background, or gender as long as you’re not the top dog) I always point towards Russell Means Welcome to the Reservation because he proposes that America as a whole is a reservation because just because you think you’re “free” doesn’t mean you actually are free.

Eh! The whole thing gets me sad.

Tech for sure has a race/gender/class issue in America. On a global scale, I can’t say much and I know that tech is global. I also know that Nigeria has a solid tech hub in Lagos. But also know that education in general in Nigeria is brutally competitive and very situationally based.

But to be honest, this has long since been an issue with technology. I know it was fluttered all over the net but people have long since known consumer cameras were made with a certain type of complexion in mind. But hilariously the first time I seen AI x racism talked was via Robin Thede (so a skit show) some odd years back. But capitalism gunna cap, and it’s crazy that people can’t just widen their test range if they’re not going to at least offer a seat at the table.

I really dig this, but mostly on account of some smoosh of childhood x art appreciation. My mom is half-Japanese and we had Ukiyo-e paintings up on the wall when I was a kid. But also I would get up with my mother and watch her perform her morning rituals. It was the late-80s and I’d watch my mom pull a large toothed resin-based comb through her wild hair (did I mention the other half being Pasifika?). We also had beautiful Japanese cotton based sheets with these outta of this world series of prints on them. All wedding presents I think. So in that sense, this is a very lovely thing to look at. To think about, you know? But from a different perspective, it is nice to think about the artistry that went into carving each fine detail. I haven’t done a damn thing with prints in a hundred of years but I believe you have to work with a lot of negative space, but I might be wrong. I’m not sure if these are don with a series of plates, or a singular plate (er…blocks) with careful application of colors. But it’s an amazing skill to think about as a whole. Even the paper made, or how the pigments were obtain to create the colors. It’s all really amazing when you think about it, and I am very happy that it’s still appreciated as a medium.

p.s. - American art history focuses very little on world arts (at least when I was swimming in it) and mostly seemed to focus on European/American movements.

This one was cursed, and worse yet I finally get to see what happens when you don’t guess it. It kinda feels like a kick in the pants. Such an obvious word, yet I couldn’t begin to figure out where to get there. Even tried to map out the possibilities. Nope.

Big sads =(

Was thinking just this, hahahaha!

Hehehe, did so.

I mean it was for sure like that all the way up until like…now. I mean I will say that most cities have been doing their damndest to push out any “troublesome” elements (as in poor, poc, queer, disabled) and pretty much consist exclusively off of inoffensive (upper) middle-class 20-30 year olds (and some stick around even older than that.

But I gotta run, cause I’m gunna hang with the missus. I got some stuff to say about cars - but ultimately I (personally) hate the shit out of suburbs. I don’t think they’re actually spacious at all. They’re like a sardine-tin hellhole. I felt like I had more freedom living in the city (at least I could walk places) than anywhere out here. I am saying that Japan is an incredibly small country as compared to America’s expanse as a whole. And that it is very futuristic to imagine lining the entirety of the country with say…a bullet train when we’ve already got rails everywhere but people don’t tend to take them for personal travel on account of it being a long and drawn out process. But I am huge proponent for fast forms of public transit in general. I don’t particularly love buses. But give me the metro and I’m on it. Buses are meandering and I get driven freakin’ insane on them. But that’s just me.

Ugh, to tired - gunna go hang with the missus. I’m not fighting this. I don’t really care ultimately. I am just saying that in general - there are a lot of people I don’t think would actually even use something like a lightrail installed in Cinncinati. Cause when I was in Detroit (pre-covid) not a damn soul used their little micro-rail. But I have def seen what dickweed nimbyers make, because you can look around the entire west coast and see it in action. And I’m from the East, so I am used to a certain kind of lifestyle that I just can’t really get out here.
