People tell me to be safe while biking, and while I appreciate it, what I'd really appreciate is people going a step further and pondering why they think biking is unsafe. Because then they'd have to grapple with the fact that we've designed our society to make biking "dangerous" for many people.

Haven't spun any PCBs in awhile and decided to dip the toes back in the water for a project. I may have been a bit overly-ambitious expecting to be able to hand solder all these 0603 passives

Seriously. I don’t know if any of us are safe, but I feel comforted being in Minneapolis for so many reasons. If any trans folks need advice on moving here, my DMs are always open. racketmn.com/queer-trans-...

Biked past as they were hauling the bikes away from the evicted Bryant house. At least one pickup and large trailer absolutely stacked with bikes 💀

I will never understand why the makers of smart light switches have universally decided that instead of the paddle toggling between 2 states that it instead will hover in this ambiguous middle ground. Why always give users 2 possible inputs when only 1 input is ever valid at a time?

Have spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to get a "blink" example working on a CH32v dev board. Turns out the dev board's LED was just soldered backwards 😐

Do you ever look up from locking your bike and think “Wow, our land use in the U.S. is so absurd”? According to @henrygrabar.bsky.social, by square footage, we have more housing for each car than we have housing for each person. We should fix that.

As great as the bike infrastructure is in Minneapolis, there is so much room for improvement when it comes to bike infrastructure that connects across city borders

Attempting to modernize the electronics in an old pen plotter and got the 7-segment working tonight. Really wishing we saw a pivot back to 7-segments in newer devices

Just another helpful reminder that a human being on a bicycle is the most efficient amongst all animals and machines in terms of energy consumed in moving a certain distance as a function of body weight. Obvs.

in elon musks goal of making “x, the everything app” he is ruining what makes the internet great. an actual web of different pages, resources, customized personal spaces, and freedom. he is attempting to streamline that away in favor of having all content be native to x, which is disasterous
