Wait, DPD isn't going to arrest student protestors again on Auraria not because it's 1st Amendment protected speech, but because of a pissing match and optics?

"Chief Thomas also blamed campus leadership for dropping the ball in the aftermath of mass arrests during a sweep on April 26 when tents were not cleaned up from the encampment, allowing demonstrators to quickly rebuild."

broke nothing else but my sanity. after getting it all apart, i spent another 20 minutes trying to find a torx socket and adapter I dropped. I finally found it in the last place I looked.
To be clear, the tools fell as I pulled out from a hole (that's what she said) to loosen a bolt that holds the glass in the window track. I pulled that speak out not noticing the tools were stuck to the back of it.🙃

I still don’t know why the window doesnt fully seal against rubber trim.

johne,
@johne@denvr.social avatar

Definitely better, but none of my tools slide between the door skin and the glass to reach the other window adjusters.
While working on this I discovered that my little rolly stool's seat is breaking away from the shaft. (That's what she said.)

can't remember what Luke's hover doohickey is called, but this special effect really blew us away back then and, JFC it's amazing how all of the special effects are still as fresh as they were back in 1977

Quite happy with this little make.

I've been seeing earplug earrings in the "cool/weird earrings" and EDM scenes, but I hadn't seen a detachable version. Since I make and wear different earrings constantly, and I have specifically nice earplugs, I made my own with some cute anodized findings I had. Works a treat.

No I don't sell jewelry online. I sell lasercutting files and consign locally in Portland, Oregon, USA. If there's interest I might write up a tutorial tho.

An earring shaped like a lightning bolt, held at an angle by a hand. The earring is attached to a dangling earplug by a short length of chain and a lobster clasp finding.

@LaserMistress Nice! what are some of your fave earplugs? Personally loops are just okay. Still use my etymotics for concerts.

johne,
@johne@denvr.social avatar

@LaserMistress Where can I peruse and purchase your laser cutting files? I was looking at maybe printing a necklace for my wife as Mother’s day is coming up but I don’t think any of the filament I have will work. I’m about to join a makers non-profit and they have multiple laser cutters.

@LaserMistress OMG, Guillotine! Love it.

johne,
@johne@denvr.social avatar

@LaserMistress There are a few that would be great, but Millennium Falcon or X-wing earings would be perfect. Is that something I could hire you to make as SVG file(s)? I’m horrible at image editing and drawing in general. Regardless, I’ll likey purchase at least one of your files on Etsy.

Star Wars Day is also Comic Book Day? Getting down my tiny collection to see what I have so I don’t double buy almost covered me in dust bunnies. Also, as I wear a star wars shirt of some sort about once a week, I decided I should put on a star trek red shirt, but I don’t own one. I guess The Expanse will have to do.

Now I need* a Remember the Cant or maybe an OPA shirt

I have just watched the 1st episode of A Kind of Spark thanks to @PetitPas

It’s a Irish British American Canadian series. In Canada I’m watching it on CBC Gem, in the UK it seems to be on the CBBC channel, for the others countries I don’t know.

I like it because the 3 autistic sisters are played by autistic actors, use of the words autistic, masking, meltdown. etc. Shows sensory overload, etc., ignorance and bias.

To watch it in Canada https://gem.cbc.ca/a-kind-of-spark

@adelinej @PetitPas in us (everywhere?), can watch via byu.tv

Claire quote of the day:

"I'm like a horse girl but for electronics"

Prompted by troubleshooting yet another friends ancient BT device.

I think my non-technical background does give me an edge here, as it often does. My first instinct is never multimeter. A lot of my (hubris-filled electronics-'splaining guy) friends get tripped up going there first with any electronics.

I have just always had (and gotten a lot more confident in) my powerful troubleshooting electronics ✨whispering✨ 🤫🤌

@LaserMistress oh, yeah. thats great advice.

@LaserMistress And that's generally the second thing I do when debugging software (after the readme).

I told y'all, cops don't do what you think they do.🤷🏿‍♂️

Black folk know this from lived experience. Some white folk only learn this when they go to report a theft or sexual assault and find out that the $11B/year NYPD are not equipped to handle that.

15K NYC bikes stolen a year!

@rachaelspooky “I never treat the project managing role as being a superior”
I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to hear this as someone who’s had to deal with the opposite: “You don’t work on a ticket unless I tell you” Given that wasn’t the first complaint I’ve had about that PM, I don’t understand why she hasn’t been fired yet.
