I took some low-res photos at the last group bike ride and the next one is in two weeks (and should be much warmer!)
After watching the two for a bit, the young one came up with a shellfish, perhaps a clam and started bonking it on their chest.
Then drama!
A sea gull stole it right out of paws!
Sea gulls are jerks.
Gulls gotta eat too, but boo!
On this project I’m not printing bottom layers: they just don’t show and are a waste.
I’m also using lightning infill.
I hold my breath when it starts but I’ve only had one adhesion failure (and it was my unrelated fault).
Project update:
Finally wrapped the first layer. Next up is removable trays for the second layer.
Printed the first top tray for the drawer. Fits perfectly on the first try.
I love how I can get exact fits with #3dPrinting. Now to fill this tray up with more camera stuff!
Back on #3dPrinting/#organization bullshit.
The first tray of the second layer is looking nice, if I do say so myself.
This #3dPrinting project is finally over!
~98% of my #photography gear lives neatly in this single drawer now.
The top two trays have my Nikon 1 cameras, battery chargers and spares as well as (most) of my 35mm negative scanner.
The Diana flash units kicked by butt. They have a really odd, organic shape that I had a hard time modeling, so I just modeled the “female” port and plugged them in.
There is only one misc area for extra lens covers that aren’t worth organizing.

My oh my… Trump just reached the find out phase.
Canada likely to follow in Portugals footsteps and cancel the purchase of 72 F-35 fighter jets, because that aircraft is made in the dictatorship from where The God King is threatening all NATO allies.
The Lockheed Martin stock is about to enjoy the Tesla experience 📉🔻🔥
Yep, find phase gonna start ramping up.
Plus, I don't blame them. Why would you trust a dang jet that dependent on working software from a country being run by a nut job.

New year, new #Wikipedia list.
Billy Craigie was an Aboriginal Australian activist who was one of the original people creating the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in Canberra protesting the government's Australia Day statement on land rights (supporting leasing of the people's ancestral lands). They set up a beach umbrella, camped out, got arrested, started a movement. We had a photo of him in Flickr Commons so I wrote this up.

Reading a novel by Sarah Stewart Taylor, a cozy mystery set in Vermont in the 1960s (2nd in a series that I'm liking). Her husband ran for Lt. Governor of Vermont. He had a long Wikipedia article, she had nothing, despite having written twelve well-regarded novels. I wrote a page for her and added a small "personal life" section to his so I could link her/him.

I saw a Scudder Parker sticker on the back of a street sign today which reminded me that I'd always confused Parker and Con Hogan. Of course there were already Wikipedia articles for footballers named Con Hogan because of course there were. Added a short one for public servant and decent-seeming guy Con Hogan who tried to help nudge Vermont towards single-payer. RIP Con, you tried.

A new #GreenpeaceUK investigation exposed a brutal reality: since #Brexit, giant #SuperTrawlers have spent 37,000 hours fishing inside the #UK ’s Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). That’s the equivalent of 4 years and 3 months killing every single hour a day. Destroying #habitats and wiping out #fish populations, all while the UK government does nothing to stop them.

If these areas are truly “protected,” why are #IndustrialFleets allowed to plunder them? It’s time to ban supertrawlers from MPAs and hold governments accountable.

#Supertrawlers spent 7,380 hours fishing in #UK #MarineProtectedAreas each year since #Brexit
by Alexandra Sedgwick | March 11, 2025
An investigation by #GreenpeaceUK reveals today that giant supertrawlers relentlessly continue to catch fish in the UK’s Marine Protected Areas, damaging precious #MarineHabitats and #FishPopulations, despite the UK government having had the powers to stop them since Brexit and committing to protect at least 30% of #UKWaters by 2030.

Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security.
That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.

Well said! I had a similar, much more brief post a few years ago because everybody expected the mod team to be perfect and know everything about anything and it made for some unhappy campers when they found out we weren't and I didn't feel like investing hours into learning a subject I wasn't interested in.

There is little that was not established by Congress.
Last I checked, Congress still controls funding.
I'm looking to sell these Rogue Trader (RTB01) Imperial Space Marines, as they have a certain collectible value. Boosts appreciated.
Found lots more pieces I remembered I had, but could not locate.
Price has been reduced to 85€+shipping
I'm glad to inform that there's a bit of interest, so I may sold it fast (good news for me)
