— The Sacramento Credit Union, missing the point on SQL injection attacks...Dear Hello!Project Costume Designers,
Actually, instead of discussing the feathers, can I ask what she’s doing with that microphone?
Okay, now we can talk feathers. Clearly these outfits are left over from your canceled musical, “The Dirty Pair Blows Up Vegas”.
Dear Apple,
Remember when Preview.app was a solid, reliable tool for working with images and PDF files? Yeah, didn’t think so.
Please stop gutting Mac software to achieve feature parity with iPads.
(and the correct answer is “OS X 10.6.8, like pretty much everything else you’ve screwed up in the past five years”)
Cheesecake Champloo
For these posts, I’m typically scanning about 5-10 times as many thumbnails as I view at full size, then only downloading maybe 3/4 of those. I keep doing that until I have around 40-50 images, which I edit down to 20-25. Which means my leftovers folder has at least 15 images from each set, plus some from keywords that didn’t work out. In other words, ~250 pictures that are good enough to post but lacking a coherent theme. A chanpurū, if you will.
Workholding
Okay, I think I’ve designed enough clamps for the threaded table now…
That 3x4 block of lino isn’t going anywhere.
[About time, too, since the carpet tape that came with the Nomad finally let go of a small piece as it was being cut out. I thought I had a bit of onion-skin holding it in place, but apparently my board wasn’t quite as flat as expected. No harm done, and I just had to make the cutout toolpath a bit shallower and run it again for the remaining pieces. I might try the Crimson Guitars method the next time I feel like taping something to the wasteboard.]
Predicting the future, The Marvel Way
Trapped in a world a comic book writer made!
Given that this was before Trump won the nomination, the writer probably thought it was just the right level of absurd joke the HtD comics were known for.
Cheesecake: santa costume
7 days ago was my birthday (50th, as it happens) and 7 days from now is Christmas, so it’s time for a special triple-length cheesecake post, and the theme is naughty and nice anime girls riding the sleigh, hurrying down the chimney, jingling bells, making merry, raising spirits, putting lumps in stockings, visiting the north pole, unwrapping their presents, and giving joy to the world. Some of those are euphemisms, but as usual, you’ll have to do your own Gelbooru searches to find the more intimate images.
While searching, I came across the following wonderfully clueless comment on this image:
"removing zettai_ryouiki, she is nowhere to be found in this picture, please don't mistag"
Apparently he didn’t realize he was soaking in it.
