Slowly getting the hang of how this 3D pen is supposed to work.

(Pictured: various angles of a smaller bust project.)

@kirbizard Strongly recommend EOIV if you ever find it on discount. It strikes a good balance of narrative, difficulty, and mechanics, and is the best intro to what the series tries to do, IMO.

When AI is asked to get to the finish line, it tends to build a very tall robot that gets there by falling over.
I copied that strategy and almost broke Simone Giertz's robot workshop. (Sorry!)

@JulieSqveakaroo No prob. Funnily enough, this was my firefighter younger neighbor, which helped make this feel less like a case of the olds.

@JulieSqveakaroo Thankfully this was sincere on their part, and not paired with “get off my lawn” or any chasing thereof.

Neighbor complimented us about our freshly-pruned lawn.

Is this... what... adulting... feels like?

I think I’ll keep using Masto as my primary, yeah.

re: birdsite 

I often quip that my primary motivator is to make exciting things boring (I write security hardening software). I never thought I’d need to advocate so strongly for that in discussion software, too.

Update: just read that Jack and Twitler sat down for a meeting today to discuss “the health of the public conversation on Twitter”. Not touching Twitter again in light of that news.

The knight and the dragon fought.
"Hold!" the princess called. "Why do you fight?"
They looked ashamed, and the princess spotted two trampled bouquets.
"Were those for me?"
The knight and the dragon nodded.
"Girls," the princess said, smiling at them, "what if I date you both?"

@KitsuneAlicia@octodon.social Very satisfying: having him spawn in Derelict or Void and walking him into laser beams. Apparently they melt him.

Makes me wish more tilesets had them. I will be using that to try to farm his blueprint, though.

work from home, transcription (boost with CW)

Last week I saw someone recommend rev.com as a way to make money from home by transcribing. Skeptical, I had a look to see if they were legit, and they seemed to be, so I signed up.

There's a small grammar and English quiz, and then a transcription test, to apply. If successful, you can see client transcription jobs and their pay-per-minute, choose whichever jobs you like, work as much/little as you want.

I worked casually for a week, had some very interesting jobs across a variety of fields, some of which were entertaining and educational, and made just shy of $300.

They pay every Monday into PayPal. I wanted to make sure I got paid before sharing it here, just in case - but I got paid today. Hurrah!

So yeah, they're legit. You need to be a decent typist with a good grasp of English language and grammar. They also offer translation jobs.

Sharing for those who can do it and need work. :)

Just as a sample, I've typed up things like teachers meetings re. education in the US, devs talking about cloud computing and blockchain, meetings about disabled access to transport in the US, an interview with Idris Elba, talks about value/worth of drug treatments, a gaming session with a DM and players, interviews with skilled professionals talking about their fields, interviews discussing Apartheid and racism in South Africa...

More progress on this friendo (in the foreground).
