i try not to recommend reddit often, but r/coolguides has lots of handy one-page references.

You can leave a bottle of Topo open room temperature for two days and by some magic it'll still be surprisingly carbonated.

US McValue meals (my local location, ymmv): $6 for a McDouble, small Fries, 4 nuggets and small drink. $5 for a McChicken, small fries, 4 nuggets and small drink. $2.50 for a McDouble itself.

Swolvolution. Expecting things to be bigger but in strange places and not necessarily for the better

Nah, those were a classy touch. IIRC it was some Thomas Kinkade-lookin' bullshit.

Definitely a trip back in time, I did a website almost exactly the same for Bernese mountain dogs except without the flame background.

Killers are going to kill. Guns don't democratize it, just makes it easier. Maybe at best YOU could kill one or two:

So they should stop you from 3d-printing knives too.

You’re still an engineer. Knowing the right places to click in an esoteric app is like knowing where to hit the boiler with a hammer to get it working again.

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

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.

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.

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.
