I should utilize my VPN a little bit more. I just found that the US Netflix has Parks & Recreation. I need a little bit of Leslie Knope and Ron Swanson in these times.

Uuuugh.... The biggest and monopolistic comic distributor Diamond will halt shipping this week. HOW DO I SURVIVE WITHOUT MY DOSE OF NEW COMICS?

My biggest issue with VR right now is that my fingers sweat and make the trackpads on my controllers inaccurate. Wonder if there’s a glove out there I can buy for exactly this issue.

@mrmattimation In Summer I use a very strong deodorant on my hands to reduce the sweatiness for a little bit. The hands get a little bit sticky bit less moist. Sadly it doesn't last very long because it rubs off very fast.

Some of my neighbours are raising their voices. I expect some divorces soon.

I need a SSD. I'm grown sick of the huge load times of Unity, Illustrator, and especially Autodesk Fusion 360. I can wait 15 minutes until Fusion 360 has finished loading.

In Germany there is a law that enables companies to pay 60% of the employee's payroll in a time of unforeseen crisis from government funds whenever the company cannot function properly. My company puts additionally from its funds and pays the rest such that each employee receives 95% of their wage for 2 months, then 90% the next 2 and then 85% the next.

@mrmattimation Ah. That explains a lot. Didn't know that.

@mrmattimation I believe those were both tax rebates at heart, though. This would be a step further.

@mrmattimation And that is super one of my favorites, I aspire to such heights of !caffeine consumption. Actually, I may have committed a couple such moments as a bus driver....

@mrmattimation A legitimate concern, indeed. Much more dangerous than America switching to bidets!

Man. I gave in and paid a little premium to get isopropanol. Could be worse (just 50% more than I had paid in the past). I got a finger nail polish remover but it is just 99.9% isopropanol. Also I have additionally those fluid dispensers. For some reason the bottle with the dispenser was cheaper than the one without.

OK who is training rats to carry oversized foods on camera and letting them loose in NYC?

There are people posting photos of the water in the canals of Venice. It's clear for the first time in a long time.

I wanted to buy a bottle of isopropanol (IPA) but the prices have tripled. Or I cannot buy the cheaper stuff anymore. It wasn't consistently cheap before however I cannot find the cheap kind anywhere. I wanted an additional bottle for my resin 3D printed objects as an replacement run out of it. To my detriment IPA is also used as disinfectant. I've bought mine for 8€ with shipping. The same seller has a bottle for 21€ now. I could use normal ethanol to wash the objects but it isn't as effective.

I was just at the home improvement store and they had signs with a note to keep at least 1m distance to the cashier. Yeah. Sure.

The world is a bunch of chickens, and this time it's not the bird flu. It'd be so easy if people would wash their hands a little bit more often with soap.

Of course the Autobahn was closed when I wanted to drive to my D&D game. It took me 1.5h to get there instead of the usual 45 minutes. Three trucks crashed and one of them leaked a ton of diesel fuel.

Nothing amuses me more in a sudden shocking way like a wet paper towel shredded by a tiny CNC router. I was engraving mug coasters made of slate stone. During the process I wanted to wipe off the cut material that piled up. I came a little bit too close to the cutting bit and it grabbed the paper towel and shredded it to pieces and flung them all over the place. Luckily I put some plastic walls around the CNC for EXACTLY this case.

Nickelodeon's "Glitch Techs" is fine. Not offensive. Not great. Just fine.

@scribus That and a ill-conceived spinoff of a cult classic with a lot of expectation baggage attached to it.

I was stressed out today before leaving to work. I was searching for my car key however it took too long and grabbed my spare one from where I keep my car related papers. I knew that I didn't lose them outside. It turned out that the key rolled out of my jeans behind the bed. Enough to not notice on a glance.

After much debating with myself I just ordered a cheap liquid resin 3d printer.
