Now, packed with sand... The holes are for pegs to line up the two halfs. The other side has the pegs in it... I attach that and put on the top of the mold and repeat the procedure... I add a cylinder to form what's called a sprue, or basically a hole into which I will pour metal.. Now pack...

I wanted to post this here becuase it doesn't really fit in the 3d printing thread.. This started off over in the 3d printing thread because I use 3d printing to make forms that I then use in my less technological (but far more satisfying) hobby, which is metalcrafting. I melt metals down and...

New life goal.... unlocked!

They didn't tell us we'd be fighting humans!

You see this.... https://www.marca.com/en/lifestyle/us-news/personal-finance/2025/06/12/684adae4268e3e48408b45cc.html And you're torn between: Fuck, I'll have to work longer No worries, social security will be completely failed within the next decade anyways..

Yeah, I will also put my nod in on the lovefest for Leslie Nielson. Which is very possibly why I won't like this movie. It's one of those "you're screwing with near perfection for the sake of nostalgia and reboot money." Add in that I have liked some Seth McFarlane stuff, but he's also an...

Ragebaiters have found a new endless supply of monetization clicks...

So all you want is a cherry pepsi? Are you sure you're not on drugs? Have you ever been in a psychiatric facility? Yeah, we know where this leads... Timestamped for convenience.... But in all seriousness, you're right. All things in proper moderation for the most part. I think the bigger...

Also, when you go from having daily meds, to having AM, PM, and possible Midday meds in the pill organizer....

Yeah, it's got the magna-ride and multiple mode selection, so I am able to stiffen/loosen the ride on the fly. It's definitely more than any normal daily driver needs, but I thoroughly enjoy the "more".

Last is embarrassing ;) When at one point they were the fire breathing dragons of the sedan world. heh Now the CTS V Blackwing is functionally just the evolution of the engine package from my V-sport (3.6l TT), instead of the vette power train which was the traditional hallmark of the V line...

Now I have a sad... I wanted to complain that if you're going to compare super sedans/super wagons how do you do that without a Caddy CTS-V in the mix? Then I realize that since 2020 Cadillac has progressively neutered the V line to the point it would just be embarrassing at this point...

You mean everybody doesn't have one of these? https://awesome-things.com/toilet-seat-scale/

Dining Room Chair?..... PERRY THE DINING ROOM CHAIR?!?!?! I can't be the only one who thought it.... unrelated :

Seems you already picked up the wyze, but I was also going to suggest the Samsung watch ecosystem if you haven't looked at it. Watch can do body mass/body fat scans and they have a number of third party scales that can work with it's app. I started using it just for sleep/step tracking but...

Yeah, I'm hoping they go the route of the other "we need one last run for retirement" tours and instead of doing a show in Dallas, do a show or two at one of the casino's around an hour away in Oklahoma. Then I can properly "old fart" it up, and go early, gamble, catch the show, and have a room...

First casting will just be aluminum. To make sure my handle core is the right dimensions and test out the process with a cheap metal. Then if that works, I'll move up to a copper , or in more likelihood brass, model. Whenever I do new mold forms aluminum is always the test run because I...

I'm gonna have to try some of that HT-PLA. A lot of the things I print to support my metal casting stay in my workshop, which isn't climate controlled, and gets pretty hot inside being in Texas... I've had to reprint forms before because of PLA warping, and whereas I love the temp tolerance of...

You see this...... You get honestly excited for it. But you also realize you're going to wait to see how early the show starts because you don't want to be out "stupid people late" just for a couple bands.

Don't Doubt Dr Su. I will go as far as to say my company does business with AMD, and that woman is a formidable force.

Good question, I have a side machine which is a retired gaming rig. Has 64G ram, I9, and an older 1080 GPU in it. Hopefully that can push it. I want to take a run at feeding it images and having it cook up an action figure.

This is a github project I stumbled across today which I am keenly interested in seeing come to fruition... https://wgsxm.github.io/projects/partcrafter/ TLDR: AI Model to design multi part 3d printable parts off photos.

Unrelated to converting one into a sex chair..... The 18v one I got in the original rechargeable bundle I picked up back in around 1998 is the oldest rechargeable tool I have and still going like a workhorse. It's the only rechargeable tool I have left from the old muted teal color before...

I've done a number plaque too, did one for my grandmother's house. Yeah, I'm in Texas so it's the same heat scenario. I recently rebuild my "smelting area" behind the garage and put in a shade awning/tarp thing. I thought I had worked through the details on the maul, but I'm starting to...

Which , if he had perspective of his character, he would have known couldn't happen. Literally his character is the "What if the good guy was really a bad guy, or EVIL TWIN!" action, that they couldn't let me an actual bad guy, so they made him an "anti-hero" which still makes him just a dark...

There's a part of my that just dislikes Edmonton (they've been a nemesis for Dallas forever it feels like). There's also a part of me that truly enjoys the angst and suffering of the "Traditional Hockey Purists" who seem to absolutely HATE it when a team that's "too far south" wins a cup.....

It's for the workshop, any way we can get one with a ryobi sawzall mounted on it?

OK. Starting my next set of prints. This will be to print a form to then sand cast in metal. (First test run will be aluminum, and then if that works brass) Who doesn't want to make their own maul? I'll print two of these (they can connect via peg holes on the bottom). Then probably a day...

"You know you're getting old when".... There's a multi page derail about mini split AC options in a house by a bunch of middle aged guys, and you find yourself locked in like the first time you watch Return of the King.

I'll admit a good while back I shifted my ETH to wBTC on the ETH chain to turn it into essentially a BTC price tracker and have been quite happy with the results. Somewhere there's a chart showing what the value of ETH was each time BTC hit $100k. And every time BTC hits 100k after pulling...

Let's see... to answer a question, it's an 8x8 shed is my warehouse where I store shit (now, since I built the shed a couple weeks back). And it does have a window unit AC In it. There is functionally one real window in our house it would fit in (it's big), but that window is in the master...

And the Google issue was global... I had customers who had whole sections of both their own services, and SaaS services they relied on for their SOC operations go completely down for hours.

Yeah, Coinbase is shamelessly try to squeeze their users for profits at this point. There are other "crypto cards" but most all of them are at the very best break even when you look at fees and whatnot. If you want to slowly accumulate crypto over time just set up a scheduled buy once a month.

So... I'm trying to tune some things on my Ender to get rid of some vibration issues (now that the new hotend/extruder fixed those issues). And testing with the traditional Benchy method. Testing with a spool of PLA I got ahold of and found something interesting. A PLA that looks like...
