Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid: “Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s. Over half of those deported were US citizens.”

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

Word of the Day is a true favourite, as some of you will know.

Flashback to the day we got our lab assistant

It’s Airsoft time on Sunday yet again, but my 3D printer has nothing to do between now and then. Do any Airsofters here have suggestions of a useful airsoft-related 3D print?

I just realised I didn’t empty it out last night, thank you!

Update: it’s back?! I didn’t do anything but my permanently deleted account is back and working normally… oh well, I’m enjoying Bluesky

just turn over the water companies to the beavers

7/10, would shelter here from rain

I'm quite severely allergic to cats - I had a really bad asthma attack when I was 3 when one sat on me while I was sleeping - so I definitely avoid them whenever possible! I don't particularly dislike them though.

That looks delicious! There's little better in this world than kimchi

A week ago Blender terrified me. Today I finished my first render from scratch! BlenderGuru's guide on Youtube is excellent, so well paced and clear.

I can't wait to design more things in Blender, and hopefully print them out!

I've seen the same issue with the orange scooters in Newcastle. They're always blocking paths.

Well Threads deleted my account with no explanation so I guess BlueSky wins!

Looks like it!

Absolutely! It’s safest to do it when you’re close to the upper bound of the grade. I’m sure there have been cases when grades have gone from a high B to a C, for example, so there’s always some risk.

Yes please, if there’s room!

My dog does this about once a year, I always look forward to it!

Thank you! Glad you like it

Incredible images here! Welcome

Love it! I do some work in the digital health space to utilise technology to improve healthcare, so I’m always fascinated by this sort of thing!

That’s such a cool idea! What other old fashioned services were they looking at?

I love this! Not much has really changed either

Glorious! My bathroom sucks in every possible way (really it should blow) so an overhaul is very tempting

I had no idea about that! I’m still mostly using RP2040s for my projects because they fit most requirements, but I need a real special project for the first RP2350s… I’ve done some Arduino Nano tinkering in the past but never got very far, mostly down to motivation!

Appreciate it Bob!

I haven’t experimented with those! Perhaps after I get to grips with the RP2350!

I think that’s the case thankfully! My mum left us a few years ago after a long struggle with cancer, but my Dad regularly reaffirms his happiness about how me and my brother have done. I think it just goes to show that a disappointing results day doesn’t mean the world ends!

I don’t think I really appreciated at the time how much it was results day for my parents too. So many choices in bringing up a human, and it’s so personal when those results come out. I won’t say that my parents’ decisions were all perfect, but they definitely always had my best interests at heart!
