A wild-haired, wild-eyed bird, high on too much beverage science and holding a pipetting syringe that has been inserted into the dispenser lussy of a poor, innocent lime juice bottle
Our cat, Muffin, having a tiny snooze in the sunbeam on her favorite clawing mat
Screen shot of a DM from a slightly misspelled account, pretending to be an amazing bird artist but using weird language about it, and trying to scam commissions by getting to people first. The screen shot shows that the user has been blocked, and offers reporting options.
Sign for a shop named “EggTuck,” as seen from a commuter train platform. I have no idea what they actually do there.
A faux news article screenshot. HEADLINE: NRA Accidentally Forgets To Rise Up Against Tyrannical Government ARTICLE LEAD: An embarrassed National Rifle Association says it totally forgot to do the one thing it has been saying for years it is solely there to do.
USB hub in the shape of a set of anal beads for some reason
Photo of NBC’s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.
The Atom XL sitting on my palm, with skin visible all the way around the tiny phone
My Subaru BRZ, about to turn up Rahal Straight at Laguna Seca
The TRIAD LED driver, DIN rail distribution box, and 24V handrail strip wiring all tucked neatly away under the steps
The label of my exact strip for this project. You might not want the silicone jacketed stuff, but the quality is definitely there. The important part is the “FCOB” label - Flexible Chip-On-Board - which means the tiny grain-of-salt-sized LEDs are mounted to the strip directly, not into chip carriers that then get spaced an inch apart and make visual hot spots instead of even, continuous light.
An outdoor-use, fully potted TRIAC-dimmable LED driver, feeding its 24V output into an adorable little weather proof Polycase DIN rail enclosure for distribution to the various handrail strips
A picture of our back deck at dusk, showing the LED strip lighting I’ve added under the rims of the handrails. There’s a warm glow from waist-level downward, which isn’t spoiling the quiet lighting of the dusk in the trees above.
The end of one of my hairs, showing that it’s split into eight different split ends, none of which are actually the end of the hair. The effect makes the curled hair look a little like barbed wire.
Image of a badly-assembled bracket for a second-floor handrail on the back of Block 19, with three out of three intended four bolts completely missing. This was the ONLY lower bracket for this particular railing; it was only held on at all by this lone remaining bolt, and one screw each into the roof posts on either side.
The bizarre scrawl on our breaker panel, including such banger circuit names as “frool heat,” “oroner,” and “REF-KETCHEN,” several of which were found minutes after this photo was taken to be not only misspelled but very, VERY wrong.
Short video of a very small insect, marching across a table in time to the music
A video demonstrating our new-to-us, salvage recovered, wall-mounted network cabinet, which opens the normal way for access to the front panels AND ALSO opens from the rear, on a separate hinge, for access to the back of the equipment and patch panels when MAINTENANCE is needed
The end of a Pelican case that has been drug several hundred yards down an asphalt road. The handle and parts of the lower corners are worn down, but the handle and latch are still functional.
A giant billboard for an AI company prominently featuring the text “STOP HIRING HUMANS”
An extremely close-up photo of about one square inch of blue stonewashed denim material
A balaclava printed with a repeating pattern that looks like baklava
A screenshot of my conversation with a very confused person who did not understand why I didn't need to be angry tonight
Two USB ports at exactly the correct spacing to fit a two-prong NEMA 5-15 plug into their openings
My FC badge for this year, with the main badge name line reading "Party Fowl"
Screenshot of an article with a headline reading "Elon Musk Offers to Also Ruin Wikipedia," an accurate reference to his utter lack of business acumen.
