Last Notes npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1v2s…mqq5 it needs to be clearly, loudly pointed out that "you won't have to vote anymore" is functionally equivalent to "you won't be able to vote anymore." npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1tel…4v4v but 70% of them don't care and the other 40% are unaware. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1a72…ze5k that would be a great idea. Pool your orders and meet up to distribute the parts over a beer. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa What is (was) for supper for you today? npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa A pic of all your #fountainPens is always worth at least a fave click, maybe a boost for really nice ones. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1a72…ze5k Nice setup! Did you try the results yesterday? npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1k08…6xvn How about just squeezing the top of the clamshell with your fingers along the length - do you notice more give in one area than another? That should indicate a latching point vs just an unsupported point. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1k08…6xvn Looks like a typical snap-together. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa Ugh, an intensive day with too much sitting, fully immersed in a circuit work. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1dm5…5sqe is it fussy about aspect ratio perhaps? npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa As if I haven't milked this rather photogenic pie for social media likes enough, as I pull it out again for #lunchPie I can't resist another pic or two. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa The existence of dumplings implies the existence of larger, precursor dumples. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa Not enough chatter about how dramatic Venus and Jupiter were during the #eclipse. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa Am thinking about film cameras and vintage eqpt this morning seeing recent toots, and succumbing to gear fantasies. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa Was at the fresh-produce shop and surprised to see so many other people wearing their masks too. Nice to see a little thoughtful precaution out there in a busy shop. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1typ…c8hh Oh yuck. Hope it passes quickly. Glad you're not currently on a big cruise ship or something. ;) npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa Why does a browser in #Android not know when you're typing in the URL field, and so proceeds to automatically add a space after a periods? npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1dm5…5sqe at least many of the '80s folkies are on an organic farm somewhere still making tie-dyed t-shirts. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1typ…c8hh managed to immediately find an engaging book, and now I want to read the whole thing. Sadly my hit isn't in Gutenberg.org, nor available cheaply from AbeBooks. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa I cleared that heavy wet snow this afternoon, just before a walk to the post office. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1k4q…3lsq I dunno, it's kind of a fun coincidence. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1k4q…3lsq That seat looks uncomfortable to sit on, with that orange protrusion. ;) npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa Gotta wonder how a watch band that splits when you bend it ever gets made, let alone offered for sale. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1a3f…0ywm it's possible I suppose, but would be hard to tell short of inspecting your own posts regularly from another account. Too much effort to be practical. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa I love Mastodon but there are sometimes little broken things that persist. I look at my SO's view of my toots and I occasionally see people who've replied to me, but the replies are not visible to me. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa I reworked a little bird shape I found on printables to use as a bird-feeder decoy. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1su4…a0dw Set a Guinness record for most people simultaneously using the same hairdryer. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1ye6…6a2z I'd like to get one of these to counter a certain neighbor with a dog. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa Is it #plagiarism if you comment on a popular person's toot with an insightful take, and then a few hours later they toot your observation rephrased as a fresh, uncredited post? (And it bags them a couple of thousand boosts & likes). npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1a72…ze5k nice faithful version of the song. That was *the* Darby Mills of the original Headpins apparently. Still singing impressively. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1a72…ze5k cool, will give it a listen. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa OMG there's a new super group, the "Trans-Canada Highwaymen" dropping a cover album of seventies Canadian hits and it amazingly sounds like my #SaturdayMorningGuitar come to life. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub198f…n2cq @npub1dm5…5sqe Interesting! Hadn't thought about the hydrophobic issue, but can totally see that. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa Bumped my @npub1k8d…5h2l version up today. Went with the new stable 7.5.9 release. I was only on 7.3 anyway, so it's still a good step forward. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1a72…ze5k Oh yes, have done it once a while back, but the spontaneity thing is pretty attractive too. :) npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa I recently made a couple of dessert items using up the #marzipan I bought for *last* xmas, trying to beat its one year shelf life. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa A little thing that's been coming together over the past 8-10months is done. The electronics #maker community might recognize the colour scheme. I call it my solder-station garage… npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1dm5…5sqe I keep mine handy as well. Seems to be one of those things you need constantly during the day. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1dm5…5sqe nice result! Any potential risk including the xacto in there, reaching past the knife and cutting yourself? npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1dm5…5sqe see also chainsaw npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1su4…a0dw "Bell Labs created the transistor, and Fairchild Semiconductor created the integrated circuit, but neither company is still around." npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub145u…hq7w looks like dragon skin. That opening needs a blinking eyeball. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1dm5…5sqe Ugh - hope you're through speedily and feeling better quickly too. :( npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa Before supper last night, I whipped up a chocolate cake, because it's CHOCOLATE CAKE… and we didn't have any around. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1su4…a0dw seems promising. Have they fixed the postal service down there yet or are they still letting mr Conflict O. Interest run the thing for his pals' and personal benefit? #dejoy npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1dm5…5sqe Nice - two fewer paper shredders in the landfill. :) npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa A bit of nostalgia looking thru my older #3Dprinting designs. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1yrl…8gpm @npub12at…me5y my stackable desk organizer trays are fairly popular. I use them almost every day for organizing parts on my desk and there are various configurations there: npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1ye6…6a2z some cool hydrodynamics happening there, with the retained air in the feathers and the cavitation around the wings and body. It manages to avoid getting jabbed into the pond bottom, and effect a quick exit npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1zdp…vqv8 npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1wje…kd27 you can hide it from yourself with mute or a block of the person who posted it, but it's still visible to others. If it's abusive or antagonistic you might be able to get the admin of your instance to block the person which may (?) remove it from your post. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1ace…nh8a Yes - it seems like the best one. And I agree that the flatter version is best. I had one in an NYC greasy-spoon where the lemon curd was a huge mountain, and was like glue. I'll pass on that experience again. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa I have a serious lemon-meringue pie craving. Perhaps it'll pass, or maybe I'll be making pastry early this week. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1ace…nh8a Wah! npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1ace…nh8a Yeah, THAT would get your attention pretty quick. npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa @npub1ace…nh8a npub1gg0fvvc6z8g2dq3n3w8ksvweugp35z9q7j5k9wggsvty5zh9uv6sd02r4p Ross of Ottawa Nice seeing the day start with some cloudiness. It's been relentlessly sunny lately. I likes a little grey.
