I am not done yet, but just came here to say this is such good journalism. Thank you for keeping this kind of truth-telling alive. You are a very good writer, as well.

As a portrayal of families with autism that is extremely familiar to me, down to the deep love of the father despite his confusion about his sons behavior, etc. It was just very human, very real, and made me cry. Representation matters.

If you are not familiar, the final scene is in a home where the hospital director is coming home from a construction job to his teenage son with autism who has a snowglobe with St Elegius in it, and its implied exposition is that he imagines the plots all day while his dad is at work.

It’s an excellent reminder of how much more of us there are than any of the ‘thems’ out there. Solidarity breaks their plan.

I am at peace with all of it. Walmart is somehow not the most evil-ass company these days, either. Everyone else outghouls them by an insane margin in so many ways. I mostly avoid big box, but I have recently accepted Walmart on a few word levels.

Yeah, I really have zero trouble talking to someone I am interested in these days. My only problem with it is all the men I am pissing off around me with my success. I accidentally stole a guy’s date a few months ago, lol.

I did this, it has gone well. I recommend finding a friend to get out with for a variety of reasons. I come home with a phone full of numbers every night.

Don’t fill up on that in Texas, either!

Some guy I was waiting patiently to finish his turn at a 2 way stop (me stopped), stopped and opened his window to scream a bunch of shit about the people who live in the house at the intersection (I think) and flipped me off and called me an asshole with all his might and drove off….no clue…

Pride of the south…he is an archetype many southerners have in their life in the form of some cool married-to-their-biological-aunt uncle.

I think I got mine for about $50, it’s usually called and “adhesive dispenser” when listed as a product.

Absolutely, it would produce very high resolution if your medium was well suited for it, it can use around 90 PSI in 1 Ms (If I recall right) bursts, which can handle very viscous mediums. A lot of resins and food/medical-grade material can be used.

You can also de-case the controller, most of it’s small case is empty space for wonky shaped components in it. But very simple thing, can be hot riffed down to a few parts in it.

It’s super easy to control electronically, and is more discrete as a deposition tool than a continuous extrusion process, it pulls it back in a way that does like (guessing) sub 0.01ml dispensation based on the conditions like viscosity, etc.

The controllers are pretty cheap, and they have a vacuum setting that pulls the plunger back slightly to break off the drop cleanly. I was applying paste under a microscope with it. Very good tolerances.

I want to do this with my pneumatic solder paste dispenser controller. It can give you very small clean drop.

I know a lot of disabled people, I cannot hate Jr. any more than I do now. He is an enemy of love. He is a ghoul. I have never seen such full-throated shit-eating ablism in all my life. What a fucker he is.

I want a Boniac Ponneille, but they cost like a thousand dollars or something like that.

That is gorgeous, I recal grabbing them when I was visiting the cities with print distribution (like the 90s), it was amazing.
