Just got back from camping, made a friend. youtube.com/shorts/-vx56...

Then spending whatever time and energy he has left working undercover to bust up an international drug cartel.

People complain about the acting in season 3 of Reacher being bad. (It is) But I'd like to see something a little more realistic. Bland acting is fine. I just want to see Reacher wake up every morning at 4:00 am, and spend 5 hours working out. Finding cooking and eating 5000 cal of chicken breast...

I kid of course. I am a sucker for a good Canadian sci-fi.

So I am watching random Canadian sci-fi movie. Looking up all the actors I recognize. Now I am wondering, is there a compulsory 18 month term every Canadian has to serve as a sci-fi actor?

Happy Valentine's Day to me. Now, what to do about my wife. Do you think she'll believe this is her gift?

5. SMS and you. Or when to leave a voice mail.
6. Phone use during meals and conversations

1. Appropriate video sound levels in public/company
2. Silent/vibrate mode is your friend, when to use it
3. Messaging vs Calling. When communication is short, use SMS.
4. Do you really need to answer that. Your guide to Medicare and other spam/scam calls.

Being around groups of "Older people" over the last few months. I've determined that it would be the best for society if we aired PSAs during NCIS (and other shows of the kind) that would help with cell phone etiquette. We could cover such topics as:

Tiny toolbox with CNC cut insert.

Weekend #cncwoodworking project. Found a use for that tiny toolbox that Harbor Freight sells. It's now My #3dprinting tool box. I cut an insert for the common parts with my CNC machine. Just because I thought it looked neat. I'm sure the other two drawers will fill up soon.

They are sinking all their resources into the enterprise hardware because that's where the $$$$ is. I'm surprised they are even still making consumer hardware.

I think you have found your purpose for this account. Creepy Star Trek lines.

I do GitHub with a twist. I document everything in markdown with Hugo and have an action kick off in GitHub that publishes a website when I commit.

It's what aliens are known for after all.

Made a low effort blog post on the process. www.pratermade.com/posts/cloudl...

If people are interested enough I will make a YouTube video in the near future. #3dprinting

Got my Bambu A1 working with #homeassistant this weekend. Added an extra camera and made the whole thing accessible externally with tailscale. No more need for a Bambu Cloud connection. LAN mode only.

Still from Star Trek: First Contact

Began the long marathon of rewatching all the Star Trek properties in chronological order. Controversial choice for #1 in order, Star Trek: First Contact. Next up. Star Trek: Enterprise

Looks like they are listening: blog.bambulab.com/updates-and-...

I'm still going to be cautious and disconnect for a while and see how it all shakes out.

It's like a game of spicy roulette. Keeps things interesting...

Most of the time jalapenos are just adding flavor, maybe a little heat. But every once in a while...

Watched the original Scream last night, and the original Crow the night before. Gotta say, Scream held up a lot better than The Crow. As much as The Crow holds a special place in my heart, the acting... Yikes.

Weekend project. I Made a small router table because I am working on a project where I am milling a bunch of small slats. Also for some reason, I have gone this far in life without having a proper router table. This will do until I do a proper one in my table saw extension.

The cat, enjoying the warmth in front of the poor dogs outside after the latest #texas winter storm.

Good idea, just added one to my wish list
