The "Star Wars Rebels" episode "Jedi Night" still hurts.

@scribus I found one Ninetails patch on Etsy https://www.etsy.com/listing/977438366/

@adiwan I cancel my plans doing this. I've done a quarter of that track and it is not very good. The track is almost exclusively made of hard dirt and quite narrow. It is not a very comfortable ride. The idea was nice from the city to create such track but it is hardly used by me as it leads no almost no place I want to go, or there is a more efficient route, at least for me. At this point I'll wait until it get asphalt.
-
I'm always excited for a new Tuca & Bertie episode but the subject matter is always a downer (because of the theme of the subject). All those broken personalities and relationships.

@scribus Polio has the "advantage" that it has horrific looking results like misshapen limbs on children. Covid has death or long-term respiratory deficiencies and they are not horrible enough. A friend of my father's has a car paint shop and cannot work there anymore because covid made it impossible for him to breathe there (already had issues breathing because he did not a lot care for mask protection while painting and he is a heavy smoker).
-
I'm intrigued cycling around a bicycle track around the center of my city but it's about 19km (11.5mi) long. But it's maybe a bit too long for my endurance. I could take breaks but I want to avoid that.

I've just read a news article about Poland that they also have a problem with people not taking the vaccine. Especially the people in very rural places and in the mountains are stubborn. In the article they reported that those people said that they live so far away from other people and cannot be infected, they had strong immune systems, and that the vaccine was unsafe. The social pressure is so big in those small communities that the vaccine enemies made talking about the vaccine a taboo subject in order not to be alienated.
-
Germany also faces a stagnation in the vaccination rate, or it plummeted. For some reason there are a ton of people who don't want the vaccine. The cousin of my father's recovered from a cancer treatment and they are refusing the vaccine. Also many of my father's colleagues don't want to get it either. It is a pure act of selfishness and yet they complain about covid restrictions. So baffling.

My friends and I do a DM rotation for our D&D sessions. I have the idea of making an adventure around thieving druids that use their beast form to rob (air-)ships, trains (lightning rail (Eberron)), and carriages.

I think I build a coffee table out of 40x40 aluminium extrusions and a slab of wood. All of the tables are insanely ugly, expensive and too low. I don't want a table that is at the height of the seats. Normal tables are too big. With my plan I can easily customize the height and the type of wood. And at the end when I change my mind I can reuse the aluminium extrusions for something else. Surely more expensive than IKEA LACK tables that are 5€ cheap.

After watching all of Star Wars Clone Wars I'm going through Star Wars Rebels. This series feels more like comfort food in Star Wars form.

@ceruleanspark From what I've seen is big and sturdy. But I can only say that as an opinion without much insight and experience with big LEGO builds. I want it but I am aware that these sets are luxuriously expensive. I rather buy new Winter tyres for that kind of money.
-
I'm not big into LEGO but somehow I want a Star Wars Clone Wars Gunship set.
-
Watched the rest of Season 2 of Pony Life. It's disappointing even for the low standards I expected from the show. Thankfully the comics are alright but they come to an end very soon.

Finally I brought my bicycle to the repair shop. Tomorrow in the late afternoon I can take it back. I had to cycle across to the other side of town, about 4km with a ton of shortcuts.

@scribus Yeah. I would need a big CNC router and/or a medium-size laser cutter to cut down in labor time and to provide decent and repeatable quality. It could be done without those but it would be not economical.
-
@scribus Interesting. The dimensions of that crate is about the shape of two cubes stuck together. The shape doesn't lend that much for comics. I can imagine having 3 rows of comics in that box that are side-by-side that would approximately fill the crate's shape without major alterations. However I think that it might be too much. I think that producing these crates would be expensive as it needs a lot of manual labor. Also I have not the tools to make the crates efficiently and with quality that justifies the costs.
-
I've been looking into 3d modeling the "companion cube"-style wider crates from Star Wars. There are tons of small and subtle differences between series. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/875956

@scribus Little bit the heat but mostly my neighbours. In the last two weeks they have woken me up 10 times in the night (about 2-3 AM) thus I could not go to sleep again. My body is so f-ed up that I can only go to sleep between 10 and 11 PM.
-
@scribus I'll use a piece of black cardboard as a backing material like in the attached picture. I did the same with all my framed comics. The picture I want to frame is still being flattened. It has been shipped rolled up, so it'll take some time to straighten. I could make a passepartout but I don't like them as they need to overlap with the picture. I could buy a custom made frame but it costs 2.5 times as much as the closest off-the-shelf model. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/875948

Just got an original inked sketch from my favorite web comic artist. The paper dimensions are somewhat odd: 33cm x 30cm. Finding a fitting picture frame is impossible without ordering a custom one. I settled with a 40cm x 40cm frame. Not ideal but the best thing that is affordable.
-
@scribus I think too, however this comes from China where manual labour is cheap. So who knows

The M3 screws I ordered arrived. Of course the assortment box got jumbled up during transport and the screws were all in a state of chaos. I had to sort them. During sorting I found a M4 nut, oddly enough. To prevent that entropy find its way to randomize the screw positions I put all types of screws in small zip-lock bags. I don't want to count if there are 1110 screws, washers and nuts but I suspect I got duped by some missing ones but I value my time more than the screws are worth. I already wasted time sorting them.
-
I'm annoyed that my local hardware store has not all the different lengths of M3 screws I need. I had to order an assortment box off Amazon. I need those screws for a new mount for my 3d printer hotend and new and quieter fans https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4460970

@scribus I clean my brush thoroughly after brushing my teeth so it lasts quite a while. I change the brush when the bristles are bent enough that they impact the cleaning performance. A tooth brush lasts about 2 to 3 months. Is it too long? I don't know but it seems reasonable.
-
I'm not a hoarder, just forgetful: I have 40 rolls of toilet paper. Months ago I bought a XXL packet with 20 rolls because I had only 6 rolls left. Buying early before I'm out and at the time I had a free hand to carry it home. Now at only 2 toilet paper rolls in the bathroom I was thinking I need to buy a packet but forgot I had already some stored in the cellar.
