The breakfast cereal thing was a commercial. A successful one, apparently.

I honestly couldn’t stop thinking about it. People around here eat plates of pasta in cars and throw them out the window.

The DIY tuning fork clock is very cool. I am hard pressed to understand why accutron doesn't still make and sell tuning-fork watches. I really admire the creative use of resonance frequencies (not dissimilar to quartz watches but cool that you can really see the tuning fork for you watch as opposed to a diminutive quartz crystal).

They recently re-released the Accutron with actual tuning fork movements, but at $6k ofc you’re better off buying vintage:

Interesting. How did it work getting your photos off of iCloud? Does Apple give you a good way to get an archive of all of your photos? That is, the original quality photos, without manually downloading them individually? (I currently have 446 GB of photos in iCloud…)

iCloud Photos Downloader isn’t user friendly or pretty, but I finally managed to rip my entire collection without having to install any apple software.

In theory, one should be able to use OpenSCAD to come up with fancy surfaces to 3-D print, right?

I'm just dipping my toes in 3D printing, with a recent acquisition of a Bambu P2S

I was able to take the image of the star-shaped graph from OP, fed it to claude and used this for the prompt: "figure out a good formula or equation for this graph and use it to create the lampshade in openscad. use the graph as the bottom for a lampshade, and taper it all up to center point. leave a hole at the top big enough for a lightbulb fixture to pass through." It did a surprisingly good job of generating the OpenSCAD, STL, and preview renders in-browsers.

> If my computer goes to sleep, WSL becomes unresponsive. I have to save all my stuff and reboot to continue working.

Try wsl --shutdown. Works for me when WSL hangs for no apparent reason.

I've also noticed that, in my case, these hangs are somehow tied to Docker for Windows. Couldn't figure what triggers them so far, though. I just restart DFW and kill WSL when that happens.

Restarting the vmcompute service sometimes helps. Doing so completely blue/blackscreened my machine this morning so it just makes me more confident in WSL's low level hooks.

I suspect most graffiti doesn't actually have this twisted motivation. It's just selfishness by thoughtless people wanting to advertise themselves, like dogs marking their territory. This intellectual rationalisation is more of a projection by resentful people with a poisonous worldview.

Commentary is graffiti. We're all selfish dogs marking our territory, advertising that we exist.
