@jsatk@sfba.social yeah, I never look at the local or federated feed, I just follow who I follow on the home feed.

@kylesethgray@mastodon.social “Launching April 20, Apple Fitness+ introduces a new program called 4 Weeks of Strength for Runners” Nice! I need that 😄

Alright, first small soldering project complete! Built a useless box 😄 I feel like I missed out on tinkering with electronics earlier in life, so taking some small steps now to build up my confidence for more intricate projects in the future.

@jsatk@sfba.social ah, sorry, two broke it yesterday at the London Marathon (plus a third under the old WR and the women’s only record was also improved). There was just an expectation for Kiptum to take it down after his Chicago performance.

@jsatk@sfba.social that was the Nike Breaking2 attempt in 2016. Eliud Kipchoge had a second attempt in 2019 in the Ineos 1:59 Challenge where he ran 1:59:40 in an unofficial record (non-race conditions). For a while it looked like Kelvin Kiptum would be the first to break it a race (he ran the 2:00:35 WR in Chicago 2023), but died in a car accident not long after.

1:59:30 1:59:41 2:00:28 London Marathon was pretty fast this year (old WR was 2:00:35) 🤯 https://apple.news/AYCKGw5GoRKyyUHGK3F36-w

As long and awful as January felt, I get to enjoy the day today and take the next hour and a half to sit down and read a book while I wait for my son and his friends as they celebrate his 13th birthday by playing VR games at the mall 🙂 Happy Birthday buddy 🎂

@mergesort@macaw.social 99pi episode on SF’s public trash cans just dropped https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/service-request-03-trash-cans/

@hotdogsladies@mastodon.social not our first dance, but the Deadsy cover of Brand New Love was the second track on the mixtape my wife made for me when we started dating 😄

@Amdev@mastodon.social yep, I have a Bambu X1C, so printing the hilt isn’t a concern. But of course I kinda want to design something myself to add a layer of complexity/personal ownership to it. I also have an airbrush that I haven’t played with as well, so throw that into the mix. 😂

@Amdev@mastodon.social haha, it did take me a year to bust out the useless box kit, so we’ll see if I have a lightsaber in 2030 😄

@Amdev@mastodon.social my sister got me the Adafruit build your own lightsaber kit that I’m working up to 😅 https://www.adafruit.com/product/4860 Need to figure out if I want a specific in-universe design or go my own way. Thinking about maybe doing a large LEGO Lightsaber for easy modeling. I’ve also bought some RFID readers and Kyber crystals use to change the blade colors as if the basic project wasn’t enough 😄

@jsatk@sfba.social went with a kit (that I ordered in January 2025 😬). Inspired to build this after watching a video about an Octopus Useless Box and wanted to start understanding the basics of how they worked. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OraQ0lVJf8w https://www.solarbotics.com/product/39300-bk/

@lyonsinbeta@mastodon.social I always read it as See-Data

@lexfri@hachyderm.io feature request for Conlexions: drag and drop reordering. There are times I see three of four matches and want to start grouping clues together and not lose them if I move on to another set🙂

@lexfri@hachyderm.io in general, how do you prefer beta feedback? Through TestFlight, DM, other?
