Do I have to write something in here too to publish a remoo?

Yeah, I know a mastodon wasn't a cow, but "remoo," come on, how can you not like it?

@carygrace it's worth pointing out that I might sometimes use the word "flaw" in a way that doesn't necessarily mean "bad."

I helped out with a friend's art class and referred to a jar of leftover pieces as a "scrap jar," and was told "we call it 'found objects' because 'scrap' has negative connotations." I thought, OK, maybe it does for you, but I never would take "scrap" to mean "useless," so aren't you choosing to reinforce the "negative connotations" of that word by refusing to say it?

@carygrace I guess "flaw" is subjective but there are certain tendencies, like anything that is mostly consistent but at some point deviates *for no apparent reason* is typically considered to be a flaw.
@carygrace what's kind of weird is that when I look at art or listen to music, I want to see and hear the flaws and the humanness. So it makes no sense that I should be trying so hard to eradicate those.

My most psychedelic CAD design to date. I had to struggle quite a bit last night with figuring out how to properly use the "loft" feature in OnShape, but after taking a brain break and coming back to it I eventually got it to work. I'd like to reinforce their strength in post production, and the two options I see for that are electroplating (super cool, but complicated), and coating with epoxy (less cool, but easier).

@evanhurst how does Tucker's face just *default* to that look so reliably? I swear it's in 9 out of 10 screengrabs.
