$25AUD worth of fish and chips (you can't see the Chiko roll and Dim Sim well in this picture).

So.... Apparently the doge.gov website have left their backend db unsecured and someone has already posted there to prove it

What I see in Australia (which... Fk off just call it the proper name and not drag us into this delusional shite)

Quick stocktake of the last 2 months: Laser Cutter - Died, waiting on 2nd replacement board 3D Printer #1 - Tiny spring in $90 part broke. Fixed 3D Printer #2 - Same $90 part a week later. Fixed. CNC - Power supply died after 5min use after sitting for a year. Currently driving back with part.

The funniest part about DeepSeek is OpenAI losing its job to AI.

Since Tiktok went away and came back for the US the number of fragile people on there has skyrocketed. I just had someone report a comment I made mentioning the metric system as bullying.

Hot take. Gone in 60 seconds and National Treasure are better than The Rock and Con Air. That's right. Controversy.

Just letting everyone know that the Treasure Planet soundtrack still goes hard.

For the people still in American wondering what TikTok is like without them it is a little like...

The fun thing about the US banning Tiktok despite having a first amendment to protect free speech is that it means free speech is protected but having somewhere to make that free speech is not. Or to put it another way, the US Government and Supreme Court have said 'Let them eat cake'.

The Rocketeer could do with a special edition touch up on its special effects but it still has everything. Jetpacks and Jennifer Connelly.

The #1 thing I (an Australian) learnt from the TikTok ban is... Americans didn't know that America is described as a '3rd World Nation with a Gucci belt' globally (Via a tok from an American who was told on RedNote and thousands of comments from people all over the world saying 'you didn't know?')

I like that if you look up the IMDB for 10 Things I Hate about You and look at the writing credits William Shakespeare is named.

This is my new favourite thing about the Americans jumping from TikTok to Rednote out of pure spite... An historian on tok pointed out that the Chinese name for Red Note roughly translates to Little Red Book.

The funnier thing is while TikTok is majority owned by US investors I'm willing to bet that RedNote has none.

Have you seen a baby Bush Turkey before? Well now you have

You know, there is an entire section of the population that do not know Weekend at Bernie's had a sequel which included a major plot point of Bernie being a reanimated zombie using voodoo

So about the US TikTok ban.... I just opened a brand new LEGO set that came out yesterday and I noticed a 3rd app store. Translates to 'Tencent Android App Store'

On TikTok there are lots of Americans complaining that they had never heard of Robbie Williams before and that they are getting all these toks about Robbie Williams... by commenting on a bunch of toks about Robbie Williams. Self awareness is not something everyone suffers from.

In case I have not said it here, Isopropyl Alcohol's ability to remove hot glue from 3D printed PLA is nothing short of sorcery

Every year on Boxing Day I go see movies, a different cinema for each movie, for adventure and getting out of the house, and to hang out with friends. Yesterday I only saw one and by myself because no one wanted to see this one (and missed the point of the boxing day tradition). This was good.

Breaking News

Just a PSA - The Long Kiss Goodnight is also a Christmas movie

Everyone knows that in the Marvel 616 Santa is a Mutant... Well I just watched this Tok of someone making a case that Santa is a god and now I think we are all wrong and he is a Herald of the Living Tribunal vt.tiktok.com/ZS62jDPgN/

I appear to have tripped and put on the Muppet Christmas Carol

Crap. I'm going to have to write up a brief and try to find funding for building the Smart City tech that should already exist myself aren't I. There is a lot of grifters in this field + people in power with non-existent understanding of what it is. And I'm not good at fundraising. At. All.

Usually when there is this much negative coverage from the media about what someone did they at least demand pictures of Spider-Man to go with them

Honestly, I think there will be a 3rd non-US hosted app store where TikTok will be available. That's what I'd do.

Hm, posting too much political minded stuff. I need to post more about things about making. Did you know UV Ink printers are a thing? They can print CYMK photo level on any surface. The also start at around 17k AUD for a small one so Ill stick to my methods I guess.

If Freedom of Speech was important and it was a national security issue than TikTok would be banned on devices that are consequential to the American National Security. Unless of course Dave the air conditioner repair guy from Denver happens to also have access to launch codes on his iPhone.
