Always tooting for th'antihero @Momentrabbit@awoo.space

@Momentrabbit Oh yeah, picture. Ninjatek 'Armadillo' abrasion-resistant polyurethane. https://awoo.space/media/y32xRVM9ir3pBZ7LxzM

20mmx20mmx20mm calibration cube. sides are within a tebth of a mil accurate: finish is good, but inner shells aren't laminating properly. Going to try another run pushing extrusion past 1.1 and nudging the temperature up a bit.

A little tinkering with the build platform, goose up the extruder head a few degrees, and boom: Moment's Folly is no longer printing PETg, but semi-rigid polyurethane. We'll see how stable this material is before breaking out the carbon fiber fill-mesh. n.n

While transferring gcode to a miniSD card and physically walking it from PC to printer is a minor inconvenience, as is saving a file from Autodesk Anything into an STL to read with an external slicer, when Autodesk decides to lose everything you've ever done? It can be *really handy* to have those STL and Gcode files lying around the place.

Well, chipped a cutting surface, any how. Grain pattern looks odd - bad case harden, maybe? Looks like a clear delamination between the harder outer sheel and the softer inner. https://awoo.space/media/OxL2ZvBgvoU1MR1RiwA

I never really considered
how much the

*clunk*

of a microwave door

sounds

JUST

like a high-voltage power supply transformer being shunted online

(*bcHNNNQUE!*)

until I was in the 20,000V half of the work laser

up to my elbows

and my coworker decided to nuke a burrito behind me.

Flayrah when I'm hungry, 
And bink when I'm high
When Inlé-rah comes for me,
I'll lay down and die
Wry Whiskers, Wry Whiskers, 
Wry Whiskers my doe
If you don't love me Wry Whiskers
I surely must go
I'll abandon my owsla
and find a new town
Or live my life hlessi,
Alone and atharn
Make flay when I'm hungry,
Hlaozen when I'm dry
Bob-stones when I'm hard up
and Inlé when I die
Wry Whiskers, Wry Whiskers,
Wry Whiskers I sigh
If you don't love me Wry Whiskers
I surely will cry.

Due to rough handling, I need to replace three gas cylinder regulators' intake nipples and nuts. <.<

The jokes write themselves. n.n

Huh. An unannounced raise of $0.21/hr.

Now, do I thank my supervisor for this unforseen largess? Or not call attention to it in case it's an error in my favour.

Decisions, decisions.

Yesterday's work amusement was discovering we've been using a 'permanent' extension cord to power a monitor, because the old crt that *used* to be there was 120V only and there are no nearby 120V circuits near that station, just 240V.

The 'new' LCD at that station, which has been there for years, autoadjusts from 120-240. All anybody ever had to do was just... plug it in.

(coils up extention cord, muttering)

@Momentrabbit With that said, doing a(nother) complete factory reset with only new drives installed, so the initial filesystem is also factory reset, seems to have allowed it to keep from hanging or misbehaving overnight. I'll see if it hasn't fallen over by the time I get home today.

Ever have one of those days when you're excited to finally get a RAID running and you replace a bad drive and you replace another bad drive and you replace the two remaining bad drives and you slowly come to the realization that it's probably not the *drives* that are bad....

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-

Awright. Which one(s) of you magnificent postfurryfunkskuckers were alienheadband? And why didn't you say so earlier?!

There is no way the track listing of Omphalos isn't an induction sequence. @.@

Every safety regulation is written in somebody's blood. As such, there are Procedures. They are essential when working in an asynchronous, non-collaborative manner on complex tightly-coupled systems.

To prevent accidentally powering up a circuit which somebody else may be working on, LOTO evolved: Lock Out Tag Out.

It is giving me... *ideas*.

I know there are several rolls of painter's tape for the Folly in here.

...somewhere.

Technically a subtoot, but it's really subtooting myself.

You can adapt to feelings of loneliness. Even rejection and abandonment and loneliness. A cast of OCs who're crazy about you help, although that way lies a particular rabbit hole that can close up behind you if you dig too deep. OTOH, all perception happens inside your head anyhow, so who's to say a feeling of belonging and family and friendship that's entirely fictional is different from one forged in the Meatworld?

oh yes, today is definitely a 'Crank the Muse' day. *yawn*

The rose engine, a specific subset of the family of ornamental lathes, is essentially a spirograph for metal. Here, a machinist carves a repeating offset pattern into a brass slug the size of a dime.

The superset of full ornamental lathes are essentially /three-dimensional/ spirographs. Here's an artisan using one as part of making an egg full of eyes (footnote 1).
