I thought surely I could cut down aluminum extrusion to size with a crappy hand saw with cheap blades. While I technically can it took a long time and a sweating amount of work to do just ONE of the many cuts I would need to make. I might need to look for a local maker space or something that would have proper tools I could use. Oof.

I've no idea what the immigration status of the people who clean my house or pick up my trash or mow the lawns in my neighborhood or work at my local takeout places, or who deliver my packages and delivery food and who stock the shelves at the grocery store are who only or primarily speak Spanish and who have tanned skin, I don't care, and apparently, neither does ICE. They'll just nab anyone who looks Hispanic.

But I do know they are all my neighbors. Every one of them contributes to making my community a good place to live. I have less reason to be afraid of any one of them than a white person. I keep meaning to get better at my Spanish so I can become better friends than just being able to smile really big and say "¡Hola! ¡Buenos Dias!" when I see them.

I see no reason whatsoever to let a little thing like language or skin color or what specific spot on the planet you were born on, or who your parents are, or what nonsense bueacracy bullshit you've suffered through make me give a shit about whether I should be nice and welcoming to you. You're my neighbor so long as you treat me and all my other neighbors as your neighbor too. If ANYONE treat any of my neighbors like shit, then THEY are the piece of shit that needs to be shipped to someplace with all the other pieces of shit so they can all roll around in their own shit with one another and leave the rest of us alone.

I've finally sketched what was in my head for the case design to paper. I should have some of the parts I need today at some point. Hoping I can figure out the internal structure and layout relatively quickly so I can work on the fun parts. Shout out to Noctua for having step files for their fan grill that they used on their power supply up on printables. I'm using it as the base of the brackets I made to house the case fans.

I brewed a chemex for the first time in a while today as I'm out of v60 filters. I have like the 8 or 10 cup chemex so I always have to brew more than I'd like for just me at once to get a brew I'm happy with. So I guess I'm gulping down my first cup so the rest doesn't go cold before I get to it. I didn't have coffee yesterday so I guess this makes up for it.

YouTube Music thinks I'm a much more cultured person than I am. The last few songs it has played in this "Recommended for me" mix have not been in English. And I mean to be fair they have been bangers but I have no idea what they're singing about.

Also side note: I recently switched back to Google Fi as my service provider which comes with YouTube premium/music. Which is why I'm trying it again. But YouTube music continues to be the worst music streaming service experience I've ever had.music and normal YouTube use should be entirely separate things and in absolutely no scenario do I want otherwise.

PSA: NEVER EVER use Xfinity mobile as your cell provider! I initially switched to them when I left my job to try and save money. In fairness it was a substantial amount less than my plan at the time.

However it was absolutely not worth it! Their app is so broken It was almost impossible to see or change details, including canceling my plan and transferring out. But the worst of it was it was unreliable. I missed out on an opportunity for what was likely as close to a dream job for me because my phone didn't ring when they called to set up an interview and didn't notify me in any way that a call was missed or a voicemail was left. I basically cold called my voicemail to find out.

But by the time I figured this out they had already filled the position the day before. I am still unemployed and my financial situation isn't great. This was a dagger to the heart. Especially because it was a job I really really wanted. I didn't even get the chance to interview for it, not because the opportunity wasn't there but because my phone service was unreliable. I didn't even get to shoot my shot.

But lattes and music are the way 
The contrast is pitiful and my lines are non-existent but I was able to get a fairly straight pull through. Something my shakey hands usually have trouble with. I'll take wins where I can get them.

Next up is the first prototype of my logo case badge while I wait on parts that effect scale. Going for the original Apple, old IBM, commodore logo vibe. Instead of painting it I'll probably just get all the colors of filament as everything is slotted into the black back of badge anyway. Also maybe a 0.25mm nozzle should be an investment i make. MicroSD card for scale.
