Last Notes npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I need to drill a big-ish hole (~1.5”) into my house’s band joist to run conduit to my garage. I’ve done this sort of thing before but my house is just a couple of years old and modern houses are… different. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I’ll probably gain no friends here, but I wish Billy Bishop was expanded. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis If you have half-a-dozen eggs left in a dozen sized carton, what is the correct arrangement? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis #Eurovision news breaking on #CanadaDay no less. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis It’s over! #yeg #yegwx npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Welp. #YEG is getting taken out by rain. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis end of the quarter. Some poor email marketing schmuk trying to make open rate numbers. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis maybe. Still 20c off of the tech spec minimal temp at -10. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis that was a device I was looking at for sure. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I have a detached garage and I need to add wired (cameras, power relays) and wireless connectivity (garage openers). npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis So the fuselage was a fail - impossible to glue up. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Print 1 complete. #3dPrinting npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Trying a new-to-me #3dPrinting technique: printing on tissue paper. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Finally, I want a pedal board under the desk with a few macros for common actions: cycle through windows, hang up a zoom call, etc. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis The central laptop would be used for interactive work: web browsing, coding, drafting documents, etc. I want two external monitors setup in portrait mode flanking each side. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I keep thinking about what my dream/fantasy workstation would look like. This may be impractical but… npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I know. I know. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis the nightly rendering style looks so much better than the release. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis what version is that? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis oh man, get mended up soon. Last year, I dislocated mine in China and had to fly back the same day. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I go to a lot tech conferences. As a consequence, I get handed a lot of sticker. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I find this whole ecosystem so confusing. I thought about playing with it a few months ago but noped out when I started peaking into stuff like particular bits _not_ being OSS. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis they’re useful! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Doing some household engineering this weekend. I have a cabinet I want to install a pull out rack to hold several cast iron pans (read: heavy). npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I don’t post much about music but I’ve fallen down a deep Angine de Poitrine hole. You should too. They the best Canadian Dadaist, microtonal math rock duo. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I’m baffled at what a compiler would be really doing with that much processor muscle. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis the never transitioning off/use more is verifiably incorrect. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis the URL thing is an interesting strength. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I’m trying to switch to using more TUI tools. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis For admin tools, would you rather have a: npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis so, I had a doctor tell me to eat more insoluble for a temporary health thing. A food that has a ton is cinnamon, like an ungodly amount (it’s tree bark, which that tracks). npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis if it’s part of the Fediverse, it could be called pooptoots. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis it’s hauntingly bad. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis RE: https://mastodon.social/@FluentInFinance/116371822094839719 npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I mean, 19A0 npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis RE: https://hachyderm.io/@jbcrawford/116370770647099756 npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis noooot very well. It effectively is an object with no thickness and kind of hard to fill in without manually doing so. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis too bad these models aren’t solid. I need to 3d print a tiny PCjr for my desk. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis seems right to me! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I don’t feel so bad about spending $35 CAD then! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis My son won’t eat much fruit. We found these little bags of freeze dried strawberries and he *loves* them. He likes the crunch. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis that’s a business idea: filafume (perfumaent?)- perfume for your filament npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I was a beta tester on one of the first PHA filaments to market a few years ago. It was made here in Canada and it legit smelled like maple syrup when printing. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis PHA is super different by brand too. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis IIRC PLA isn’t terrible at chemical resistance (the primary solvent is unusual enough that no one chemically smooths it), but bathroom cleaners can be harsh. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis did you make it out of PLA? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis yeah. Mesh makes sense. No place to build up load bearing farts! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis an autonomous chair? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I’ve heard this brand a few times. I’ve never been wild about the gaming chair look, but I could get over it. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis yeah, can’t find those on Amazon.ca 😕 npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I feel weird about used chairs. If they’re foam/upholstery then they are basically 80% load bearing farts. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I think I need a new desk chair. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I think I do need the sheet stock to provide some of the rigidity since one side will exceed my mac print volume (and I have a 320x320 printer! Unless a reset up my belt printer and deal with that mess…). npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis RE: https://mastodon.scot/@GlasWolf/116352121088393779 npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I bet. Halloween is a fun airport day too. Very few travelers, lots of employees with low stress in costume. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis My kids only source of caffeine is chocolate. His Easter basket must be like drinking 3 pots of coffee for me. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis no, more like storage bins. Drawer like things that fit into a similarly shaped hole. Think IKEA Kallax and the fabric or plastic boxes that neatly fit into it. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis that’s *kinda* what I have in mind. Fastening coroplast feels weird and not strong. Like, a screw into ply seems like it’s work. Corrugated plastic means you’d only grip the top/bottom layers, right? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I don't recall that episode, but I would have dug it 100% as a kid. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis "feel like something that fell down between the stairs of my childhood memories." npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis god. I have a long unfulfilled childhood need for a light pen. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I want something smoother and more finished than OSB. If it were shop drawers OSB would be a good option though! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I have a ‘big’ #3dPrinting project. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis very much so. I’ve heard that growing your own isn’t too much effort. Tried it once and it didn’t work for me 🤷♂️ npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis the local stuff does way better. I’d love to know the logistics of these socks of Chinese grown garlic that are everywhere and cheap. Do they throw mountains away of it from the store? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis that was fun. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I haven’t finished the show yet but I know the real story. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I tired to watch radioactive emergency last night before bed… got way too into it and could fall asleep! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis yeah, it’s a YouTube channel about disasters (not just radioactivity). Charmingly animated, we researched. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I love all the radioactivity episodes of Plainly Difficult. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis But I’m not in DevRel anymore. 😏 npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis it is! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis thanks, but I think your method of rotate extrusion is the right solution. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Made a simple mod with #3dPrinting to my kids toy train. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis AI barely exists on my feed, but I assume it’s an artifact of people reacting to the default algorithmic feed. AI posts suddenly look like the transparent trend chasing. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis A lot has been written about the terrible outcomes of social media on politics, children, etc. Overlooked might be LinkedIn and its effect on business & the economy. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Here is mine: npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Here is the source: npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis same model of grinder? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I made this satisfying #3dPrinting project a couple of weekends ago. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Great perspective in this piece. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Heading home from #KubeCon a little early: $3k more to flight home on Friday vs Thursday 😳 npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Second time in a week that I hear a random shout out on YouTube referencing someone I know from Mastodon. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis This video had a [@chrishuck](https://hachyderm.io/@chrishuck ) jump scare in it. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis every dust particle clinging to your fan blade is one you didn’t breathe in. 🤷♂️ npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis none of my upgrade credits were worth anything. Lots of frequent fliers on this flight at least. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Boarded my flight to Amsterdam in Toronto for #KubeCon. I wonder what % are going to the conference? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis that is an incredibly complete assessment. I appreciate how much time that must have taken to draft that explanation. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis is wireless worth it, really? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis second photo looks like macaroni scattered on a table. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis slightly off topic: do you find the Calgary associations a lot different than the Edmonton community leagues? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis slightly off topic: do you find the Calgary associations a lot different than the Edmonton community leagues? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I don’t have direct experience with what you are doing but charge management for different battery chemistries is pretty different. I don’t think you’ll be able to plug and play anything much better. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis There is this CBC story about a Canadian company involved in platforming white supremacy. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Off to #kubecon / #kubeconeu in #Amsterdam. Mostly syncing with folks on #Valkey. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Tonight’s impulse purchase. Not bad, actually. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis I didn’t bet on thinking about the mortality of Chuck Norris, Robert Mueller, and Xander from Buffy in the same weekend. npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis honestly question: didn’t Denmark discontinue the post office at the end of last year? How do you get this token? npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis yegwx is yeg weather! npub1tuk6cgtux45qe089wja2ptnqjde6x4h0rhs6ktks4ys2hwwm8llsep9wu4 Kyle Davis Now, subscriptions to AI coding tools are generally thought to be consuming 20x worth of compute than the subscription cost alone. Let’s assume that that goes down to 10x. So, a 500k/year engineer is going to have a $2.5 MILLION annual budget in the future?
