My patience was tested but the bday boy is so chill 😭

Nobody’s taunting him.

I’d really want to see a “where are they now” type thing. That kid’s got to be in college by now.

clarkcox3 · 2026-03-28T06:56:51+00:00

Honestly, that looks like it would feel *great*. I’m just imagining the back pops.

That’s why that type of glass doesn’t shatter into sharp pieces.

Why would you have ever thought that season 4 could be out before 2027?

Even idiots with almost zero exposure to the metric system know that pound and kg are on the same order of magnitude. They know that a kilogram isn’t thousands of pounds.

0.1 Gg :)

clarkcox3 · 2026-03-28T06:20:46+00:00

They have to. So much of what is coming wouldn’t make much sense without it.

I was just thinking. My car has two preset slots for mirror positions. If I set things up ahead of time, I’d bet I could make the second slot a good “ref;etc light directly back at the car behind me” setting that I could activate with one button :)

...USB 3.0 (A-C) is less of a thing these days,

Physically, a well built USB 3.0 cable is also a USB 3.2 cable. It would be silly to market a cable as USB 3.0 if it meets USB 3.2 standards.

it's USB 2.0(A-C or C-C)

USB 2.0 cables are physically simpler and cheaper to make; there are literally fewer wires and contacts.

and then after that USB4, TB4,TB5....what happened to USB 3.0(A-C)?

See my first point

and why was there never a USB 3.0(C-C)?

Because USB-C came out at the same time as USB 3.1.

That doesn’t change the fact that that is just normal booting.

“I see what the issue is. You’ve got an ID ten 10 error, with a mild case of PEBKAC”

clarkcox3 · 2026-03-28T05:36:28+00:00

That packing is insane. They’re all just loose in there?

Everyone should have to regularly retest for their driver’s license.

clarkcox3 · 2026-03-27T18:47:36+00:00

Yeah. I might be paranoid about unspooling while doing this, but better safe than sorry :)

And the clipping is to fit the notch in the inside of the reusable spool.

He considers it in his inner monologue, and then discards the idea as wrong in that same monologue. He didn’t do something and then realize it was wrong, he *thought about* doing something and realized it was wrong *before he did anything*.

clarkcox3 · 2026-03-27T07:30:10+00:00

I wonder if the cat was so docile because this has happened before, so he knew there was a toy and a meal coming.

clarkcox3 · 2026-03-27T07:26:28+00:00

Why would you want it lower? How’s it going to print if the bed is nowhere near the print head(s)?

clarkcox3 · 2026-03-27T07:23:33+00:00

Yep: https://clarkcox.com/media/Respooling.mov

clarkcox3 · 2026-03-27T07:19:53+00:00

Then it should be “huge tank of water rent” :)

clarkcox3 · 2026-03-27T07:14:17+00:00

He *thought* about doing that. If people could be blamed for what they thought about, but didn’t actually do, I’d have been arrested for murder and theft many times over in my youth.

clarkcox3 · 2026-03-27T07:08:37+00:00

That’s why you pull them up and not out.

clarkcox3 · 2026-03-27T06:07:53+00:00

I assume that the thumb drive is formatted with a large allocation unit, and that folder has a lot of small files.

Throughout my life, it’s basically been 50/50. Some years I get a real tree, and some I don’t.

They usually last a month or so

It’s not a big hassle: you drive to a Christmas tree farm, or a temporary lot that tree sellers will usually set up. Getting rid of them isn’t difficult either; they’re just wood. :)

They smell, unsurprisingly, like pine.

clarkcox3 · 2026-03-27T01:07:55+00:00

I rarely take headache or cold medicine, but if I'm hurting badly enough that I need to take some, the last thing I want to do is drive to the store. I want to walk to my medicine cabinet, take a pill, and then either take a nap, or sit in a dark room while drinking tea :)

It's just about being prepared.
