Lando Calrissian vs. Predator: An Erotic Thriller

'Disruptor' is a Red Flag for me, now.
kinda hope the actors-writers strike helps society understand #ai less as a vague sci-fi thing, and more as corporate strategy to own people forever... and it's happening right now (via @[email protected] // https://twitter.com/acarboni/status/1679614344915722241)

The launch of Zuckerberg's adaptation of Threads (1984, d. Mick Jackson) at first completely repulsed me.

New pet peeve:

3d printable designs that are very nice and well thought out for mechanical aesthetics but lacking machinists knowledge of how screws are designed.

Threads should not go to the end of the part like you took a hacksaw to allthread. They need a bevel on both the screw and the nut or the action feels terrible and fiddly.
