Wife found a pretty nice wooden connect 4 game, that looked like it was new in the box, from a garage sale yesterday.
She said she's one of these for a while now, so we bought it.

Only to be disappointed that it was missing one of the legs/stands making it pretty useless.
She was pretty upset about the whole thing..... so today, I 3D printed some stands for it - they aren't the same as the original - but I think they will work better.

Now she is happy again.....

Fox keeps proving there’s still more stupidity to come.
1:1 scale jaculinykus I made using 3D printing. It stands around 30 inches in length. I based the colouring off of a male wood duck.



The 3D model can be viewed/downloaded on my Printables page: https://www.printables.com/model/1035721-jaculinykus-figurine

ABC is punishing a reporter for saying an obvious truth out loud -- that Trump and his henchman Miller are "world-class haters".

What's most telling about this episode is that the Big Story is about ABC and its response -- not about Trump and Miller and their vile loathings.

Just watching the federalized Trump military tear gas a peaceful demonstration in LA and wondering when the media will remember Trump's failure to call out the National Guard to protect the US Capitol from a violent crowd trying to overthrow the US government and assaulting the Capitol police.
California governor’s office says no need for deployment of the National Guard in L.A and to do so in an unlawful manner seriously breaches state sovereignty and seems intentionally designed to inflame the situation.
