Took my nephew, BIL, new family member camping. It was supposed to be a backpacking trip but got changed due to my old man pains. Our local metroparks offer secluded, private camping spots that are a short hike in and are quite nice. Not what I had in mind but still fun

RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Wrote up a little Python script for prusa slicer. Some intermediate reg ex and simple replacement in the gcode.
Regexr is a great resource, and I just found https://regexper.com/ which was a cool little way to visualize the reg ex I had never seen before.
My PC is our entertainment system. Got sick of all the clicking to arrange the TVs, taskbar, etc. Whipped up a PowerShell script that does it all!
Got out my old .22 rifle and did it up right. First gun I ever bought and over the years I did all sorts of ridiculous work on it, made it "tacticool". Also, let it rust a bit and generally abused it. Dawned on me that it was really a diamond in the rough, crazy reliable and fun. Took it apart, oiled and removed rust, put my nice pellet gun scope on it, all that. Can't wait to try it at camp tomorrow!
Code:
Do {
CLS
$Mode = Read-Host "`r`n(W)ork, (P)lay, (M)ovie?"
} until ( 'w', 'p', 'm' -contains $Mode)
if ($Mode -eq "w"){
# Work Mode
displayswitch.exe /extend
# Display taskbar and restart Explorer
$p='HKCU:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3';$v=(Get-ItemProperty -Path $p).Settings;$v[8]=2;&Set-ItemProperty -Path $p -Name Settings -Value $v;&Stop-Process -f -ProcessName explorer
}
if ($Mode -eq "p"){
# Play Mode
displayswitch.exe /external
# Display taskbar and restart Explorer
$p='HKCU:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3';$v=(Get-ItemProperty -Path $p).Settings;$v[8]=2;&Set-ItemProperty -Path $p -Name Settings -Value $v;&Stop-Process -f -ProcessName explorer
}
if ($Mode -eq "m"){
# Movie Mode
displayswitch.exe /internal
#Hide taskbar and restart Explorer
$p='HKCU:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\StuckRects3';$v=(Get-ItemProperty -Path $p).Settings;$v[8]=3;&Set-ItemProperty -Path $p -Name Settings -Value $v;&Stop-Process -f -ProcessName explorer
}
Your comment confused me and I thought you somehow kitbashed your gun into a TV remote
I built a couple new Commander (Magic: the Gathering) decks over the past few days.
Got my first one today! Let's hope I don't regret this..
I think I'm (finally!) happy with how these wings look!
This is really unique style! Is this modeling or hand drawn?
Aw thanks Ostrich! It's hand drawn 😃
Did some jogging earlier in the week and some mapping in openstreetmap.
I'm playing Shadows of Doubt where you play as a detective. I got a murder case where there was a signed reciept for the weapon left at the scene. What a doof lol
Nothing.
