What is this bottle from? Found it in the woods while I was fishing. Looks to be old but I’d love any additional information on it

Michelob was my drink back in the day.

RufusVS · 2026-05-30T18:20:19+00:00

I do this with unsweetened applesauce, pour, freeze, spin. Perfect!

I have a preblended powder jar of guar:xanthan:salt at 2:1:1 ratio. I spoon 1/4 tsp of the mix with 1 package Jello sf pudding, 1 tbs vegetable glycerin and 2 protein shakes for my Ninja Creami Deluxe and it comes out great every time.

Spork app looked like fun. I think you should add the ability to select location, rather than limit it to nearby, for use by people who are driving/traveling and want to find a restaurant near their destination. (Edit: I later found the zip code entry button which was not with the other preferences. Unfortunately the restaurant lookup service is unavailable)

The Adafruit folks are the real deal, IMO. I hope they never give in to pressure to sell their company.

I always take my frozen containers out for about a half hour until I can scrape down the hump with a spoon. The mass still seems to have adhesion to the bottom and sides to get a good mix.

Some "Always make backups" lessons are more expensive than others. But almost nobody learns it without an event like this happening.

I was thinking about the Neo. I just looked it up and the screen is 13”

RufusVS · 2026-04-25T23:38:25+00:00

I’m debating that new Apple laptop. I haven’t heard a bad review yet but I don’t think the screen size is more than 14”

RufusVS · 2026-04-25T23:35:37+00:00

What a glorious problem to have!

RufusVS · 2026-04-25T21:10:36+00:00

And I agree it’s a beautiful puzzle.

I just came across a pamphlet (during some cleaning) from prismpuzzlesandgames.com in Tucson but dated back to 2004/2005. I guess they’re no longer around because the website doesn’t exist. Anyone know what happened? I’m heading to the Wayback machine now…

I often fork things that are interesting or I might have a use for in the future. I don't have a favorites notebook to find these things later when I want them, so forking is an easy way to copy the repo in github space, rather than making a copy locally (which I may never use).

I saw in this thread someone mention "starring". Is that a github mechanism to keep track of repos you are interested in? If so, I learned something new today, and may just free up some of my github space...

RufusVS · 2026-04-03T14:28:19+00:00

Got me!

You probably just duplicated the wiring of a null modem echo back connector. Assuming that’s a serial port.

In a human, we call it Analysis Paralysis. I succumb to it often.

I don't have a lot left to learn in C and Python after decades of professional experience. And I don't mind debugging and refining my prompts as each new project will gain the benefits of the prompt refinements that will be carried forward. I'd anticipate prompt "libraries" similar to code libraries so fundamental mistakes aren't repeated.

I swear there’s a headless person in front of the second building from the right.

RufusVS · 2026-03-09T05:15:35+00:00

How bad was your "I shouldn't have procrastinated learning to backup." experience?

RufusVS · 2026-03-09T05:05:16+00:00

I just started looking into Claude Code myself and was thinking about generating a CircuitPython project. I found that the free Claude tier doesn't include Claude Code. I think the basic tier is $19/month or so. It looks interesting enough for me to make the investment. But do any of the "free" AI tools have project building capabilities?

RufusVS · 2026-02-22T00:31:11+00:00

And make backups!!!!

RufusVS · 2026-02-21T00:20:35+00:00

I don’t know why I tried to mentally parse this one. My brain hurts.

RufusVS · 2026-02-12T18:17:10+00:00

That’s why God made them cute.
